Crypto (Poet Contest Entry)

I must admit that a couple of months ago, I had no idea that cryptocurriences existed. On of my colleagues had spoken to me about Bitcoin back in 2014, and I being the 16 year old that I was, didn't understand why someone would want a digital token. I was more focused on making real money.

3 years after that initial conversation, another friend of mine brought up the idea of investing in Bitcoin as an asset. It took ten minutes of research, and I was instantly hooked. Not long after, I discovered steemit ( a revolutionary idea in it's own right).

The reality is that digital currencies have the potential to revolutionize how we use money. We are in the process of creating a market based upon lines of code. We have the opportunity to invest in the projects we want to invest in and give to people in need. This is the dawn of the new economy and the world will truly never be the same.

From person to person
Hand to hand
Trading and exchanging
From land to land


Money without form
Secured with a chain
With this we could truly transform
How the game is played


Intangible assets
We've given it worth
We no longer need institutions
For our wealth to travel the earth


Behind the technology
A radical new notion
A ledger that can be seen
From ocean to ocean


Although it's origin
Remains a mystery
A new era is upon us
It will go down in history


A new economy is forming
learning from the mistakes of the past
Old money vs the new
The die has been cast


A new opportunity
Has presented us with new questions
And as the concept spreads
We will learn new lessons


We can now send what we own
From nation to nation
Currency decentralized
Economic innovation


From IPO to ICO
A new market in creation
Digital currency is bound to spark
A higher age of civilization


Trading and exchanging
From land to land
From person to person
Hand to hand
