Since 2013 I was telling people how important Blockchain is and of course I bought some Bitcoins and started to invest/ trade other cryptocurrencies. 

While I somehow understood, that a permanent ledger would be awesome, and I even loved the instant, non-regulated fast BTC transfers, I never understood the true value of Blockchain technology.

These days, I am a very active user on Steemit.com, trying to help build this awesome community and I am constantly going through my travel pictures for my next story.  

So before explaining why Blockchain is so important, let me introduce you to one of the leading musical instruments museums in Europe 

The Berlin Musical Instrument Museum

"The Berlin Musical Instrument Museum (German: Musikinstrumenten-Museum Berlin) is located at the Kulturforum on Tiergartenstraße in Berlin, Germany.  The Museum holds over 3,500 musical instruments from the 16th century  onward and is one of the largest and most representative musical  instrument collections in Germany. Objects include a portable  harpsichord once owned by Prussia’s Queen Sophie Charlotte, flutes from the collection of Frederick the Great, and Benjamin Franklin’s glass harmonica " (Wikipedia)

A lot people have been to Berlin, but i am sure that 99% of all visitors did miss this museum.

Yes, time to wake up!

You can hear the music of all instruments, if you enter the number of the instrument in this player

Have you ever seen a piano/Cembalo like this one?

This is a very rare Stradivari valued 1.8 Million Euro

The museum is next to the famous Philharmonie in Berlin (where else would it be?)

There are some strange but super interesting instruments...

I wanted to try, but no touching ;)

I dont know who is able to play this beast, but there must be someone...

So beautiful!

Wonderful pianos

You see all these beautiful instruments? It is incredible that we are able to see instruments, which were made hundreds of years ago.

There has always been people who saved book, instruments and art for us. So for the non-digital world museums have acted as an offline blockchain, saving all these precious things for us. 

Going through the pictures I had a moment of total clarity, I realized that we have to be grateful for the museums and everybody in the past, whom had saved these important cultural assets for us. It must have been so hard to save and protect all these assets. 

Today our data is constantly growing and in my opinion data is our cultural asset for the next generations to come. So Steemit.com made me realize, that we have to protect the data we are creating at all costs. We have to make sure that the data we create is not tempered with by governments or evil corporations. 

So the use of block-chain will help us so efficiently protect our data for eternity or centuries, I am sure that in 200 years, block-chain technology will be rated higher than the invention of mobile phones (of course there is more use cases to use Blockchain technology, but saving our data seems to be very important to me)
