Chat: [Study Group] Introduce Yourselves

[BobWay]

As I mentioned about 80 people wrote me wanting to participate in the study group sessions. Each of you had different reasons for why you want to participate and how you intend to use the new information.

1. Some would like the be “the face of XRP” for a region. People like YouTuber’s, Bloggers, and News Sites.
2. Others want to help translate content, or create additional content but aren’t really intending to become public figures.
3. Still others want to understand well enough to answer questions coming from other community members.
4. Finally many others offered to help organize and facilitate the study group, while they are learning.

So now is the time for you to introduce yourselves to each other.

While you are doing this, I'd like to capture some information to help organize the group. So please include:

• How you prefer to be identified. (name, handle, nick. etc)
• The other social media identities you use. (twitter, youtube, websites)
• The region, culture, or language audience you'd like to help reach.
• The timezone you are physically in (for session planning)
• If you'd like to participate in a regional team and what skills you can contribute

[BobWay]

Hi! I'm Bob. 

I'd like to present and discuss some material I have on XRP, the XRP Ledger, "rippling" payments, financial systems, money, blockchains and more. I hope you will bring your personal experience to the discussion so I can learn about new business and monetary needs. We can then discuss how best to apply "rippling" technologies to help solve those problems.

• My name is: Bob Way.  Please call me "Bob" rather than Mr. Way.
• I'm also known as:
  • @bob_way on twitter
• I am monolingual (English only) and tend to bias my discussion with Americanisms. I'm hoping y'all can help fix that.
• I'm currently in Houston, TX on central daylight time (GMT -5)
• I'm hoping to travel to meet other regional teams, but I'm too flaky for you to count on as an actual team member.

[SamIam]

Hello everyone, I'm Sam, I live in Texas (CST Timezone) and have a US audience. I speak a bit of several languages but not enough to be fluent.

I'm on Twitter @hameggsn and on YT at To The Lifeboats

In my corporate days I had a job very similar to Bob's but in Telecom. I've also been an activist, a co-host on a nationally syndicated talk radio program, a farmer raising Pastured Chicken and sold at the Dallas Farmers Market, and a videographer.

I have a lot of people who appreciate me breaking down the more complex/technical aspects of XRP adoption to help them understand why it's important and the big picture of what may be happening.

[DJ-XRP]

Hello Bob and fellow study groupers!  

I prefer to be called “DJ” and reside in the Eastern United States, which puts me in the EST time zone (GMT -4).  I’m an English speaker only but am very excited to be amongst such a diverse group of individuals within this study group. 

Aside from my full time job and small business, I am a Moderator for the XRP-Community Telegram chat which has approximately 650 members and growing.  The link for this group is- 

https://t.me/XRParagon

My Telegram handle is @Foxborough6

I can also be found on Twitter as @Tom T_XRP 

I am very excited to be a part of this adventure and look forward to getting to know everyone, maybe one day meeting many of you!  I’d love to assist any way I can as we work toward the common goals of not only educating current and future XRP Community members but growing the Ripple / XRP ecosystem as a whole.  

Some of my specific strengths consist of writing, proofreading, and editing but am certainly flexible with any assigned tasks. Overall I am just here to learn and absorb as much information I possibly can from Bob and all of you.  

Hope you all had a fantastic Sunday!

[CryptoEri]

Hello Everyone. I'm Eri 

I'd like to study, learn and discuss the material shared by Bob on XRP, the XRP Ledger, etc. 

Please call me "Eri" which is the name I use in Japan because my given name has a "z", "b" and "th" which are sounds proven to be difficult for Japanese to pronounce. Eri is a shortened version, easy and common in this part of the world. 

I'm also known as: @sentosumosaba on twitter (sento = hot spring bath, sumo = I'm a serious fan, saba = a favorite sushi).  

My Youtube channel is: CryptoEri  / I upload on average, 6X per week and have had an online presence in this XRP space for 14 mos primarily with an English speaking audience, however my reach is truly world-wide as shown in my google analytics. Women viewership is growing at a fast clip recently. 

I grew up in the SF Bay Area (California) and currently reside in Tokyo which has been my home for 16 years. I am able to translate the material / or PPT decks into Japanese and distribute to the Japanese XRP community by way of influencers whom I know online - both on the twitter and the Youtube platform. 

Tokyo: GMT+9

I'm hoping to be a team member in any capacity with a personal goal to grow the XRP holder base, increase investor awareness, and attract new users to the technology. In addition, I think it is important to dispel any mistruths people might have about Ripple & XRP that hinder its status in this ecosystem. Lastly, I love this space.   .
