This Week in the Sndbox
Welcome to the 17th State of the Sndbox newsletter! So far this week, we’ve announced and covered three major Steemit talks in three different cities - Seoul, New York City and Washington D.C. November has become a month for presentations and workshops!
For a more thorough breakdown of what our members have been up to, be sure to go through our weekly Sndbox Selections of the Week post that we publish each Monday.
Cryptocurrency ≥ Currency
Ever since coming onto Steemit over a year ago, our team been diving deep into strategies for cryptocurrency education, awareness and onboarding. As we all know, this is not always an easy task as the greater public greatly doubts the applications and trustworthiness of crypto in the "real" world today. Technological and financial obstacles aside, cultural understandings of this emerging domain may just be the heaviest aspect holding it back.
Our newest article “The Biggest Problem with Cryptocurrency is that it is Called Cryptocurrency” looks to transform our perspective on “currency” and our attitudes towards traditional value. We encourage you all to read this article and give us your feedback. As we continue efforts in cryptocurrency education, all of us need to be rigorous in the words and methods of explanation we choose. We hope this article becomes a resource that you can use to better describe this rapidly evolving ecosystem!
Our Presentations at the Seoul Google Campus and Cooper Robertson
In this past week, we’ve presented in three major venues - the design offices of Cooper Robertson, the Seoul Google Campus, and the World Bank Group. We were invited to each of these occasions to go through the work of Sndbox, the use-cases and potentials of Steemit, and how both can potentially integrate with the host’s practices. Each were followed by extensive and dynamic group discussions, overall promoting the effective use of blockchain technologies.
You can read more about the specific events here:
Cooper Robertson on 11/15/22
Seoul Google Campus on 11/17/17
The World Bank on 11/20/17
Stay tuned for a recap of the World Bank event! We have a lot of exciting materials to discuss and will cover takeaways from the roundtable where we presented. Our team met with a broad range of urban planners, architects, economists and resiliency strategists to explore the potential of Steem as a resource for sustainable city planning. More to come on this soon!
