I'm Alive Beaches.
How ya doing? Hope you Mr. Reader are doing well, I'm nice thanks for asking.
Manizales
As you know, after the long trip we made with @starkerz we were supposed to keep helping the communities that we created in our trip and one of those is Manizales.
Manizales is 293KM from Bogotá, the Capital of this country, a great place with the most interesting hills to walk and to drive, and in that cool place (Propaganda says is the best place in Colombia) lives @ricardoxmr who likes real decentralization and is a complete cypherpunk.
When we talked with him about the idea of doing meetups in Manizales and onboarding people he said yes without a doubt, he is someone that really cares about changing the world with real technology.
Ricardo told us about a Meetup he was about to do in Manizales, and we of course said "Nice, we gonna help you", so we started thinking about our possibilities, and after realizing that Malaysia is at the other side of the sun and there's no Cherokees made in Venezuela there, and there's no cypherpunk like Ricardo there, I went to Manizales!
With a bottle of Ron Viejo de Caldas (Caldas is the State where Manizales is located) and some cookies I got there, 290KM and 7 hours of travel I got there the same day Ricardo had the meetup.
I got there at 6AM, had a good breakfast and then leaving my stuff in a house and chill for a bit.
I took a lot of @hivedebit cards for Ricardo so he can start showing those to the Manizales People and start learning about it.
The meetup was at 6:30PM in @itacaspace but before I went there, I went near to Ricardo place where Wendy (Owner of the shop @mercadolaperlita) was preparing his groceries to sell at the meetup, they got everything into the car and we went to Itaca to prepare everything.
Ricardo Hired a professional cameraman to record the entire speech, so not so much people showed at the place, but he recorded everything, and lemme tell you, he made a good work there, he explained all you need to know from scratch, no need to ask "WTF is a cypherpunk" cause he already explained to you what is a Cypherpunk and why ETH people is not cypherpunk.
He explained @distriator, @v4vapp and more, and I helped few minutes explaining bit more about Distriator and @hivedebit, around 1H 30M and he talked about everything, Cypherpunks, what is real money?, Bitcoin, Monero and HBD, literally everything a newbie can ask about these things.
Ricardo created this presentation so anybody can teach about it in spanish: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1wHJ4RMKBy7jAzP8A4tiHjS-ugvbSpsIbe3tSEYiLS9w/edit?usp=sharing
I had a good 2 days in Manizales, I don't feel my ass after 14H in bus, but it was a great experience and we gonna keep doing them, Ricardo have sometimes a hard agenda, but he is doing everything he can do to keep doing more adoption in Manizales, such a great place that you should visit, there's places where you can pay with HBD, what are you waiting for?
GrandCherokee is Near
As you know I'm founder, developer and bitch of the HiveDebit project, and I have been doing great stuff so you Mr.User can enjoy HBD in a NFC card, security have been improved, and we doing great features.
There's some people that don't trust this project, well I don't care, Don't trust, verify.
Into the next updates you'll find Lightning integration to be able to spend lightning and HBD in the same card, and a great Apple app for you Mr.User with more money.
We gonna make HBD Great Again with HiveDebit, specially with GrandCherokee update, but I'm not gonna tell you more, go wait for a post from HiveDebit community manager, I think his name is Jan.
I was about to get a Real GrandCherokee
As you know I'm a fan of the Jeep Cherokee and GrandCherokee, but Jan, Do I look like someone that knows what the fuck is the difference between one and the other?
Well no, but I'll tell ya.
The Jeep Cherokee have the figure of a box, and in my region (LATAM) we have only 4.0 Engine Liter 6 in Line, Manual and with no technology, the only technology you can find on it is the radio that works with Cassette and your phone, that's it.
The Jeep GrandCherokee it's not like a Box, and bit lower, to get into the Cherokee you need to be at least 50cm, there's 30CM between the floor and the car to get up, not like a Renault or a Kia.
The GrandCherokee have more technology, you have a screen that tells you the temperature, wheel status, doors, Engine Failures or other failures; This car have a 5.2L Engine V6 Or V8 Depending your model, great suspension and everything cool.
So, normally you can find offers of people selling Cherokees and GrandCherokees, and GrandCherokee it's more cheap than Cherokee, why?
THE ENGINE
As you know, I'm in Colombia and the minimum wage it's like 380USD, and with a 5.2L engine at least 20% of your salary is gonna be spent on gasoline, but the Cherokee have 4.0L and other difference that I didn't told you is that GrandCherokee it's always on 4WD (You can change to 4WD LOW or to 4WD HIGH), but in the Cherokee you have 2WD and 4WD, less gasoline just using 2WD.
Normally a Cherokee can be 4K-8K, and a Grand Cherokee 2.5K-5K.
I talked with someone that was selling a Grand Cherokee to see if I can pay it in different terms, but after reviewing with my uncle who have a Cherokee and after driving again the Cherokee I got convinced that the only GrandCherokee I want is the HiveDebit GrandCherokee version, and if I become rich maybe I'll have one of those.
Well thanks for reading this mini update about what I've been doing, basically in the short future (Next Week) I'm gonna try to go Argentina to Cover LABITCONF, go to Corrientes to meet cryptonea, and then to Formosa to see @alessandrodkt and onboard more Padel Places and have more HBD on Monero Town.
In the next week update we gonna try to figure out if you can eat a Pancake with a @coldbeetrootsoup and what is a coldbeetrootsoup and we gonna try to figure out if you can give a block to @blocktrades and get a Cherokee.
Please go follow and support @ricardoxmr and stay tunned to his profile, he is going to upload the full speech he made!
