MY FIRST HIVEPAKISTAN MEETUP WITH @DLMMQB
This finally happened. We had been planning this meetup for over a couple of weeks and today we finally executed the plan. Before moving on to the details of this meetup let me first give you a bit of a background. @dlmmqb is the user who mentored me in my initial days on the Hive Blockchain. When I first stepped into the world of Hive, I was quite confused, if I put it into simple words. This isn't just a site to blog, it's much much bigger than that. There are so many native tokens, so many different communities, games, frontends, affiliations and whatnot, so needless to say it was quite overwhelming for me. Dlmmqb was there with me throughout the journey and still helps me whenever I get stuck somewhere. There's something that he said to me today, which will summarize the whole paragraph that I mentioned above:
Reaching the destination seems quite far-fetched at the moment, so how about I just do my thing and enjoy the journey.
We decided to meet at 10:50 am at the most aesthetic place of our city and that is, Seaview, Karachi. Seaview is an open to all place for the people all around the world. It's a seashore also known as Clifton Beach, the place where the Arabic Ocean meets the land. I tried my very best to reach on time as dlmmqb was already present at our decided place. I was riding a bike and on my way, while I was at a traffic signal, I took some pictures of portraying some beautiful cityscape.
I finally found him and we strolled down the sandy beach while the water made our shoes all muddy. Now, here's the thing, after this meetup, I had to go back to my hospital so I was trying my best to avoid the water but when you're at a beach it's a really hard thing to do.
Moving on to the important talks that took place between us: We're a total of 18 verified Pakistani users on Hive, as mentioned by dlmmqb and we discussed a way of empowering the community through good means. We discussed about the trust-worthiness of the users from Pakistan and why there is such a less amount of users from Pakistan on Hive. We discussed about the basic etiquettes on Hive and that was to encourage users on NOT getting involved in any sort of abuse,be it plagiarism, content farming,account farming and multiple other forms of abuse. Dlmmqb told me a story of an abuser that he caught with over tens of accounts under his name. It saddened me to hear that people tend to take unethical and unscrupulous ways of getting some extra rewards. He told me with the efforts of the anti abuse team on Hive, it's almost impossible for abusers to stay for a long time on Hive, that relieved me to be honest.
He also enlightened me a bit about the Cartel and the tribe tokens. To be very honest, it was quite compelling as well as overwhelming for me and I tried my best to absorb as much as I can. He guided me on how can we have a smooth growth on Hive and I presented him my thoughts and opinions. It was good to know that we're both on the same page regarding a lot of things, such as anti abuse, engagement, goals and other stuff.
After that, we talked generally about life and our professions. It didn't quite hit us but an hour had already passed while being indulged in all these talks. We took a momentarily break and captured some beautiful pictures.
Time flew without us having the slightest of ideas. This showed how interested we both were in listening and discussing each other's views on different things. After our walk on the beach we rode to a nearby cafe called Cafe Clifton where we had the traditional Pakistan Breakfast called Halwa Poori and tea. Halwa poori is a combination of different things which include a potato curry, chickpeas curry, bread and a sweet dish called Halwa.
After having breakfast, we went on our ways and decided to meet again soon to have another productive discussion about the future of Hive in Pakistan as well as growth on Hive.
This meetup holds a very important place in my life as I think this was the first ever Hive Pakistan meetup and we ended up learning a lot things from each other. I wish to have a positive impact on this platform through my words and guide a lot of more genuine users from Pakistan.
Regards

Well, you can never go wrong having @dlmmqb as a mentor. The man is everywhere everytime, so he got you covered 😂.. Looks like you guys did have some fun..
Off-topic but connected with discord chat.
1UP vote cries in silence. First of all, I don't wanna spoil anyone by pleasing me to get any sort of votes in my hands. Secondly, 1UP have strict policies which ofcourse I made.
He still hit the jackpot 😁
Am I a cyborg?
Pika pakka
Hahaha, yes. We indeed did have a lot of fun
How did you find the Hive and @dlmmqb?
I hope you get your answer seeing this:
I came to know about their vigilant attitude on Steempakistan and how they raised voice against what was happening wrong. I thought they would be a great asset to Hive ecosystem so I on-boarded them. Currently, I have a group chat specially for new learners like them. I was inspired by their ethics and moral values, putting moral values above money. After that I dug into web2 and saw the work of both in different areas and finally decided to help them.
@event-horizon @huzaifanaveed can confirm this screenshot while I can't name the person I sent text to them as he/she is active on other blockchain and I don't have an account their.
They are older steemians than you dear @dlmmqb and they know very well what is right for them. They chose a centralized platform because steemcurtaor01 was helping drive traffic to Steemit by depriving innocent people of good rewards. @huzaifanaveed and @event-horizon were well aware of this and they were bringing their own people to the steemit so they can reap the rewards.
They were happy with the system until steemcurator01 withdrew his support from them. They have betrayed their own people and now they will bring them into the hive to follow the same procedure. Event-horizon is a part of the steemit witness nodes that are run by the cheaters like @malikusman1, @drhive75, @drtipu, and the leader @uop.
Those who had left alone all of their valuable followers and the whole community just because of the steemcurator01's upvote how they are gonna bring the values to the Hive?
Will you abandon the people you are leading right now and the precious people of the Hive community if you don't get the vote from the whales? Is this the ethics and moral values you are talking about?

Hello @orianagua . I was an active blogger on Steemit and was one of the most respected Pakistani user there. I have quit Steemit due to a lot of reasons, major being the abuse, centralization and a lot of other wrongs going on there on regular basis. As a person of high moral values and ethics, I raised voice against it. After that I was contacted by @dlmmqb on discord, who introduced himself as one of the few active verified bloggers from Pakistan. I was guided by him when I first started on Hive. Also, the screenshot posted by dlmmqb in the comment above, I can attest to it.
I plan on working with absolute transparency, ethics and commitment. The goal is to make a name on this platform, have a steady growth and help any other Pakistani person who has the same mindset. I hope this answers the question
Thank you
Thank God that you realized in a year and a half, it did not take five or ten years. The platform was decentralized until steemcurator01 was supporting you and there was no abuse until last month.
Once steemcurator01 withdraws support from you, you leave the community and you also withdraw support from your own people. You kicked all your supporters and valuable members who were supporting you. Do all your old friends mean nothing to you?
What about tons of people who were following you? Aren't you thinking that there are hundreds of minnows who have been forced by the most respected active bloggers like you to keep quiet and sticked with steemit?
36000 Sp in your wallet by following the centralized rules like Club 100 and Burnsteam 25 etc, which are followed by minnows because good bloggers are following them. Now you have left Steemit, but what will happen to them? Once you got enough Steems now you think the steemit is a abusive and centralized. You left it and withdraw your support, Good.
You are the promoter of Steemit and the core rules created by the Steemit team. Are upvotes the only thing that mattered to you? For us hiveans community comes first then votes and money. This was the reason for the separation of the platform two years ago.
I'm amazed at @dlmmqb's timing and the funniest thing is that he was inviting people who joined steemit before dlmmqb knew about Splinterlands. I was a bit confused as to why cheaters have been joining Hive for the past few months. Now I find out that someone was providing a bridge to join the Hive community.
It all started with @iffatilyas and his crew who are also respected bloggers on steemit because their darkness is hidden behind some other blocks and they also run the witness node of steem😂. Everyone was using @dlmmqb's name and he was supporting and promoting them. As he is promoting you. Yes, there is a reason because he does not know who is a good and valuable person from his own country. If I have to bring some good content creators from my country to bring value to the platform, I will find them on other social networks, not on a scammy blockchain where 90% of people are fake and scammers.

Congratz Huzaifa on your first Hive Meetup with @dlmmqb
Definitely he has knowledge (about Hive) and he is working hard to spread it (specially for Pakistan and generally for all)
And you didn't just meet with your mentor but with famous Vlogger doing hardest/daring challenge on the screen 😅
Have a nice day!
Thank you @shrazi for your comment.
You know what, I made a vlog of thid meetup as well, I'll post it on 3speak very soon :'))
ow niche, its good to know
I will love to see that...
take care
Niceee! You two look awesome!
So nice to meet someone physically, not virtually.
Haven’t met someone from Hive yet but it would be nice if I could.
The Halwa Poori looks good!
Thank you so much @wittyzell for this compliment. I really appreciate it. Yes indeed it's always amazing to meet someone in person whom you've interacted on an online platform.
It tasted even better. Make sure you try it if you ever visit Pakistan
When I visit Pakistan, I hope I'll remember the name of the dish 😅
Hope you could meet up with some other Hivers too!

It's great seeing you guys meet up and try to build your local community together, hopefully your two man meet up will grow to more people in the days to come
Yes indeed, that was the plan all along. I wish to build a strong local community with prople doing good work on Hive.
Seaview.....! The most aesthetic place of Karachi 🤣. ! Don't tell me this again how aesthetic our dearest beach has be become with garbage.
Anyways, I am excited to see you guys meeting up this way. I wish I might also be there but unfortunately I am not that independent to pick a bike and go my way..... huuuh.
@dlmmqb has worked hard to gather us all. I hope one day we will be powerful even if small.
Good luck to you too, boy!! Who knows I may meet you someday with an aching tooth 😉
Hahaha, yes it indeed is aesthetic. You know what I was most surprised about? I saw a KMC vehicle on beach picking up all the trash. Only if it could pick the real trash (people who throw garbage on the beach)
Yeaaah. I understand this. This is one of the male privileges that we get here. I wish there comes a day when everyone has this privilege.
Always welcome Amber. If you have any oral issues you know who to contact;)
Wowwww. KMC vehicle there.
If garbage throwing people would be thrown away our whole country would be empty.
Very sad reality it is.
My teeth have some issues. Feels like we will be meeting soon

Glad you had the opportunity to meet in person. Hive is definitely confusing for newbies and happy to hear you had someone teach you a thing or two.
Thank you senalove. Indeed I did learn a lot
Nice to know
I am sure you had a great time meeting @dlmmqb. All accolades bestowed upon him are justified. I hope you both will stimulate others to build a fantastic team of local users. Look like you had a lot of fun.
@momogrow Life is not that simple, sadly.
