"Liberty is not collective, it is personal. All liberty is individual liberty."
- Calvin Coolidge -
Last weekend, I had the privilege of attending Libertopia 2018.
This is the fourth or fifth Libertopia conference that I've been to. Once again, I was one of the invited speakers. I'll tell you more about my talk in an upcoming article.
Today, however, I want to tell you that I was delightfully surprised last Friday to hear what a panel of other speakers on the main stage at the Humphreys concert venue were discussing.
Humphreys by the Bay is where Libertopia was held this year. I had finished my talk entitled "Grow Your Agorist Industry by Rapid 3D Cloning", and as I walked out onto the beautiful forum area, I heard amplified voices talking about our beloved Steemit!

Though you may have missed the conference, you'll be able to find items of interest, locate websites, and learn from many of those who spoke this year.

I found a seat in the shade, and began to listen.
Seated before me on the stage were five fellow Steemians.
- @catherinebleish (@homestead-guru) - Catherine Bleish
- @maceytomlin - Macey Tomlin
- @sovereignbtc - John Bush
- @kennyskitchen - Kenny Palurintino
- @emancipatedhuman - Luis Fernando Mises
Among the five of them,
they did a very creditable job of providing the Libertopia audience with an overview of Steemit and the STEEM blockchain. Each described briefly what their own blogs deal with, and a few of them went into greater detail about how to become and advance as a Steemian.
As the name implies, Libertopia is a gathering of liberty minded people, and so the panel was speaking to a largely receptive audience.
Toward the end of the discussion,
the panel offered an open mic for questions and comments. I stepped up to the mic to share a bit of my personal Steemit experience, both good and otherwise. I pointed out the archival quality of the blockchain, and that one of my hopes in writing for Steemit is that my children and grandchildren may one day be able to access the thoughts of this old codger of a predecessor.
I was glad to be a part of the return of Libertopia,
and I hope that by writing a few articles about it, Libertopia will end up on your radar and that you'll plan to attend in the years to come.
FIN
P.S. If you have an "in" with anybody at Steemit, Inc. - Would you please ask them to get rid of these damn, extremely annoying "off-website" arrow/boxes? The have, overnight, made Steemit ugly. There are much better solutions.
