It is very inspiring to read all that took place (alcohol aside). LOL
There seems to be a lot going on and I am convinced the non steemit developers are onto some hot ideas. I absolutely love the zappl concept and am willing to wait for them to work out some of the kinks in the system. That is going to be a major homerun for the steem blockchain.
Being one who is online and not at Steemfest, it is interesting the contract. There is a lot of negativity on here of late while all optimism coming out of Steemfest. I get the Tony Robbins rah rah concept but I do not believe that is what is going on. There seems to be genuine progress made on so many fronts.
There was even a rumor of a mobile wallet coming out in December....that would be huge....more than 50% of internet traffic around the world now occurs on mobile devices.
Thanks for your take on the events.
