Much thanks to smooth for his work in Monero and introducing me to Steemit. The whole cryptocurrency community was a wealth of information in everything from science to politics (and much in between). Others instrumental in my understanding of the complex world of cryptocurrency include: Risto aka "HM the King", Shelby aka "anonymint," and Riccardo Spagni aka "FluffyPony." The Monero, CryptoKingdom and aeon communities were especially helpful, and the steemit community, for the very short time I've been here, has shown support through upvotes and gracious commentary--thank you.

The poem is a few pages long and will be released in sections--each will include a recorded reading--given the nature of the poem and that it cannot rely on a linear pattern to tell a quantum story, the recordings act as a guide through unfamiliar teritories and burgening rhizomes--it's a strange land and some guide posts are helpful.
