This is a serious step forward towards mass adoption and recognition of crypto. People on the forum complain about why people don't get into crypto, but without educating, talking about it, and even mentoring new adopters, things will just not move anywhere. People might not like this, but those 4 points are really important for the future of crypto.
some person's will go there and after acquiring the knowledge of Cryptocurrency they will start castigating bitcoin, and also some persons will also adopt the knowledge and also put it into practice, and it comes to knowledge that not all the countries that bitcoin seminar can be conducted as usual, because some countries is kicking against bitcoin, so when such seminar is throw for such country that is against bitcoin, i think half of people who attend such program can be arrested, actually is good to have physical education of cryptocurrency especially bitcoin. No condemnation. 
Topic: My first Crypto Meeting (Read 454 times)
This doesn't work as you state most of the time. There are situations where you may be earning and learning at the same time. There is nothing absolutely wrong with earning and learning, it's just our mind and the society view it.
That's a busy event. Glad you had fun.
"2. Learning before earning: This is one point that stuck. Making money has always been the goal. It is very convenient to forget that there is a process to achieving that goal. You have to be aware of activities happening in the crypto industry."
Unfortunately, this is the part many crypto and forex traders forget about; many jump first, learn later.

Going through and viewing your image carefully made me so happy but wished I was in attendance, well I will like to know if some practicals where also show during the orientation because without that I don’t think a lot of persons will understand, when it comes Bitcoin I think it needs a one on one practical and understanding
This is indeed a great development, organizing such seminars will really encourage young traders and will surely help in educating many people to know the value of cryptocurrency. I will be very glad if I will see such opportunity to attend meeting like this that discuss about cryptocurrency and trading.
This is great. I’m glad such activities is going on now, educating people about cryptocurrencies interactively in public. Thanks to FXT for this sponsorship. It’s very interesting to see also from the photo that many attended the function. This is a welcome development to the world of crypto.
Congratulations mate on the knowledge and funds acquired, you'll surely make it big cause already you're following the right part...
And thank you for sharing your experience and lessons learnt, am sure it'll inspire most persons to do better

I'd be willing to attend the same seminar if it were held in my city, but it doesn't look like it will happen anytime soon. In some ways I still have a hard time understanding cryptocurrency [even about the basics] just by reading text so I still need a video tutorial so I can understand it well. So seminars like this I think will really help to understand more things.

Self-Learning specially in cryptocurrency is quite difficult that is why getting a mentor is a must. But don't easily trust anyone on the internet that broadcast themselves as experienced and successful traders on social media as a lot of scammers are just waiting for their next victim. For me, it is much better to seek a potential mentor that you have personally known, look at the community around you, including your family, friends and coworkers who are into cryptos. It is not necessary to have only one mentor, think of them as board of advisers.
You're right about that, thank you for telling me to be careful about finding a mentor but i just wanted to let you know that my mentor is my brother and is a part of my family. So that is why i'm truly blessed to have a mentor that i can trust so much because once again he is my BROTHER and i am so proud and happy that we're a team and that we help each other. Yes, this is probably the best decision that you have to make before starting your journey here in crypto. Learning should always comes first before earning. We need to be knowledgeable enough to know about things like how crypto works and what is crypto because when you learn you'll be able to move forward towards success. That is why it is very important.
Earning comes naturally after learning. There is no need to rush things.
Yeah, that is why it is spelled as LEARN, you must learn first and drop the L and Earn. But when you can earn you should also not stop from learning, learn earn, earn learn, it is a never ending cycle and that is the way it is to become successful.Earning comes naturally after learning. There is no need to rush things.
Mentorship has its own significance and i'm truly glad that i had one. My mentor introduces me to crypto and taught me very well. My mentor helped me a lot and i am so very grateful to him.

3. Mentorship is important: There is a old saying where I am from "if you have a father you will fly farther" that means you will fly on their wings.
Mentorship has its own significance and i'm truly glad that i had one. My mentor introduces me to crypto and taught me very well. My mentor helped me a lot and i am so very greatful to him.
I'm still waiting to see if they'll restart crypto meetups like they used to, but I see the person next to you isn't wearing a nose mask, were you guys all tested for covid-19 before attending the program? There was no observance of the covid-19 protocol. By exposing yourself to a stranger from another location, you are endangering your health.
I won $200 for being the most interactive person in the room...I would not know this things I do now without the forum.
Of course, this forum has proved to be a repertoire of crypto knowledge and great that you showcased what you've and also advertised us. You're a worthy ambassador.Yes they did. Each area was handled by an expert in that field. The hosts were full of knowledge but short on time in my opinion.
I won't be surprised if some of the experts are members of this forum too but may not have revealed their usernames, considering the creave for privacy in the world. FTX invited experts like Israel Clement, Obinna Iwuno, Trader Kessy, and Emediong Nkanta, these names are popular in Nigeria crypto Industry. They each handled a different topic bringing their own spice when they come on stage. My only regret was the time given to the speakers was short you couldn't possibly finish a curriculum in an hour. They managed an excellent presentation according to the time given. The seminar lasted for five hours. It was five hours well spent.
I mean like when on the QA/interactive sessions, is there any topics(defi, blockchain, etc) that the audiences have the most interest/curiosity? Do they specifically only ask the bitcoin related question or defi or something?The Internet was made for them. FTX did publicity around the universities in the city. The attendees were mostly university students, they were provided with buses for transportation to and from thier campus. This gesture eased the process.
That will surely give a convenience to the audiences, I didn't think they even facilitate the transportation there. 
@OP noting the point that the various topics presented in the seminar, I wonder in what topic that the audiences have the most interest? Also, you stated that the time length is shorts, how long is the timeframe for each topic?

And you also said that most of the audiences are new to this space, and only know about the price. If might ask, what do you think about them in terms of tech-savviness?
BTW, congrats on your first meet up with your fellow crypto.
There were mostly young people between the ages of 18-30. Handling a PC or a device shouldn't be a problem for those lots. The Internet was made for them.

The First three letters of crypto are “CRY”...that was meant to be funny 
There is so much in the crypto industry defi, Nft, blockchain technology, investments, blogging. You have to choose an area to focus on and be the best in that field. Consistency is very important you can’t be a crypto investor by day and pessimist by night. Believe in yourself and what you do

Consistency is very important you can’t be a crypto investor by day and pessimist by night. Believe in yourself and what you doI just realized this, crypto and the first three letters are cry. It's true but maybe if you get this word from the seminar then maybe the speaker is very smart in processing words.
Congratulations", I have never join to a crypto meeting since I have known crypto. I'm self-taught and google helped me a lot. Besides that, sometimes crypto meeting fees are expensive so this makes me a little uninterested, besides that sometimes there are hidden goals (not just sharing knowledge) there are promotional purposes, investment advice, investment product offerings. So it seems you also need to be careful, not all crypto meeting's are good.
4. Consistency:
-consistent to follow your goals
-consistent on your strategies
-consistent to believe yourself
I admit I can't be consistent to the fullest. Sometimes we've been influenced by our emotions, sometimes we feel worried and distracted. I don't know why but that I feel it was normal for we are human beings.
I'd like to attend training like this but too unfortunate the pandemic hits us and is given no chance.
This is the best post I have read today. I am feeling very happy for you. Firstly, it's a great decision that you joined the crypto conference.
Congratulations on winning the $200 and I think you deserve that reward because it's the curiosity you have that made you ask those questions.
It's your willingness to learn more and communicate that got you that reward. Yes, even I think that this forum provides abundant knowledge of crypto.
If we go on the right path then this forum can give us all the info we need and also provide us a lot of opportunities to make new friends, to learn, to earn and to develop ourself.

I don't know if the picture is new or old <…>
Well the OP does mention that he recently attended the event. The following links provide further information (and similar pictures) on the event held in Port Harcourt (Nigeria), and the on-going tour itself around various African cities:https://blockbuild.africa/ftx-ftxportharcourt-crypto-education-africa/

The latter image displays the main spokespersons during the event.
At first, Seeing lots of people seating each other without facemask and then after reading this post, I research and realize that Nigeria is really not that affected to the virus. Are you guys have vaccine? Personally it's better to attend online seminar than to risk my health on that seminar and looking at your distance against the speaker, Your visibility is not that good to full undertand the discussion. Much better if you have a better position so that you can focus next time you attend some.
Congratulations on your new crypto knowledge.
