The Crypto “Bubble”. How shitcoins and media could spoil this beautiful revolution.

If you thought you can’t go to a <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/tech" target="_blank">tech</a> <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/conference" target="_blank">conference</a> with an infant, you would be wrong. Well, kind of. It was a situation I found myself in when 🐻 was 4 months old. I had been granted a diversity scholarship to attend <a href="http://www.playgroundscon.com" target="_blank">Playgrounds Conf</a>, a Swift and Apple developers conference, but my sitter had double booked. Having been away from the office for 5 months, I was in real need of the company of other iOS developers. While my husband (another developer) and social media keeps me up-to-date with the current trends and technology at night, my day consists of singing nursery rhymes and soft toy animal ventriloquism. I really missed spending my daylight hours being consumed by programming. My husband also wanted to attend the conference, but a deadline at work prevented him from attending. If I wanted to attend the conference, my only option was to bring 🐻 along. Thankfully, when asked, Andyy, the organiser allowed this. At this age, 🐻sleeps most of the time so I thought: ‘Yup. We could do this’. And so the planning began.
