Meet @elear Founder And Ceo Of Utopian
Utopian.io is one of Steem most awesome project. It has distributed more than half a million dollars worth of Steem, to more than 6,300 different open source enthusiasts on more than 69,000 contributions.
@Utopian-io is the idea that Steem can and should be used to reward open source contributors. This idea first sprang in @elear's mind which he then implemented and finally announced on September 29, 2017.
A month ago, when in Rome, I asked him if he would be willing to meet, to which he agreed, to the great excitement of @karensuestudios and I.
Based on the genius of what he built and how he described himself, I knew to expect a very smart, upbeat and funny guy.
He drove an hour to pick us up, minutes after he had hop off MSP radio where he was on a special Steem panel with other Steemians.
After we ate at this top-notch pizzeria, we headed out for some nightlife adventures for which I keep very awesome memories!

It was such a fun and memorable experience meeting you both in Rome. I hope to see you at SteemFest and I'll be happy to meet you again in Italy anytime!
Awww. Thanks for all of the fun ❤️❤️❤️❤️
we have a project that we would like to put on utopian once I get it properly planned out
Nice one!
Really great article
I hope to benefit from the distribution that happened
Thank you for the great information
Wow... that is a big delegation they have, now. I know lots of good works and good ideas are being incubated through Utopian; it's nice to see things that are really working, here on Steemit.
Looks like you had a great time, too!
Been wondering where you disappeared to! Glad to see ya back!
I never left! When I'm not posting more goes to other. :) Peace Matt!
Most definitely, but you're deserving. You hit a couple of my little contest posts. Gonna start running stupid little contests like giving away liquid rewards from posts to small accounts for picking the right pseudo-randomly generated numbers haha. Only paying out to winners by powering the winnings up to their account. Should inspire a few people to stick around and have a little faith :-).
PEACE!
Wow its pretty amazing to finally see the brain behind the Utopian-io @elear . He's do cool and got a lovely smile. Thanks @teamsteem for revealing this trust you guys had a nice time.
Wow, I wasn't aware of those numbers. Those are great so far, I just re-read the links you provided and remembered why I'm so into Utopian. Thanks.
Hey @teamsteem there is a lot to learn from your post, I like to post like yours, I want to make the account bigger like you, and want to do something better than steemit, so you can help me, I want to do something good here.
