Yes. We can eventually build our way there ...international conferences and all! Steemian celebrities!
You can start small meetups with a handful of people and just meet monthly .. in the US coffee shops, laundry mats, colleges, telephone poles are places you can hang posters/flyers. If there is something like that in India... yes you can also start virtually with message boards/slack/google hangout/skype with others in India as well just to start.
good idea! will try that!! as for slack, it has been down for a lot of days. really want to join in.
And, I don't usually do this, but could you please check out my latest original piece that I posted?
