On the last day before the price hike I have cut through that knot

STEEMFEST HERE I COME

I have dug into my digital purse and have spent some hard earnt money.

• plane ticket from Zurich booked
• hotel room booked
• transfer booked
• Steemfest ticked paid

I was not around when the first Steemfest was held, but then most steemians weren't

When the second steemfest came around I was really fascinated and burrowing deeper in al things crypto.
I followed the livestreams and checked out a lot of the speeches (at work, ssshhh)
The most vivid thing that stuck in my memory was Hive account@roelandp in his jungle outfit and then Hive account@quinneaker went and beat him with the amazing white recycled leather Matrix outfit (and his speach was amazing as well)

I can still remember seeing Hive account@ned and Hive account@smooth on stage. I really enjoyed Hive account@surfermarley (the one and only)

There were of course lot more and the posts and videos coming out of this event were amazing (Hive account@hilarski and his lovely wife, Hive account@lukestokes as well)
I was reading everything I could and so longed to be there that this year I have to go myself.

• In the mean time I am part of a small witness team called Hive account@swisswitness ( we really appreciate any votes and support: https://steemconnect.com/sign/account-witness-vote?witness=swisswitness&approve=1)
• I am spreading the word on Blockchain, Crypto and Steem through an educational non profit here in the Crypto Valley called Hive account@cryptoworldzug
• getting involved in several local blockchain projects

So all of these reasons cannot way up agains the bit of money spent for this trip.

This year may not be creamy and delicious but it looks to be a nice edition again.
