Hola amigo
Gracias por impulsar de esta forma mi publicación, siempre quedo maravillada por tu excelente trabajo con la revista Steem News.
Saludos, y ten una agradable noche desde algún rincón del planeta ♥
It is good to see all the Steem Meetups taking place.
We did have a Meetup here in Wales in the UK back in 2018 but unfortunately there are not enough active Steemians here now to hold another yet.
Thank you for mentioning the pick’em league!
Hope you are able to run the league.
Same here; there has been some interest in terms of upvotes but not much conversation in the comment section. I appreciate the support/sharing.
