Po.et is, in my opinion, one of those cryptocurrency options that's popping by luck right now (it's cheap at $0.25) but will do very well in the long term. I expect Po.et (hereon referring to it by its trading symbol POE) to hit close to $1 in 2018 and $5 in the next five years.

Why is it such a home run, especially for people who've adopted Steemit? Consider this:

It offers a real product.

For the first time, publishers and content creators have a trustworthy holistic view of the integrity of digital assets’ origins and respective derivative data.

In other words, content creators can finally verify, own, and profit from their online work.

From their website:

Po.et uses cryptography to give both publishers and content creators the tools to automate the licensing process without relying on any third parties. Choose from a preexisting license or create your own terms and automate the payments, transfer and issuance of licenses.

It has a rockstar board.

The following people have signed on:

Bo Shen: Partner at FenBuShi: The first Chinese venture-capital fund dedicated to supporting companies building use cases of blockchain technology.

Anthony Di Iorio: Ethereum co-founder.

David Bailey: Founder of BTC media, which owns Bitcoin Magazine.

That's just the surface. There's also Samsung and BBC's Richard Titus, YAHOO! senior VP Jim Heckman, former Vimeo exec Greg Clayman, and many others. That's a vote of extreme confidence from some of the cryptocurrency community's biggest investors.

They have a transparent, ambitious, and achievable timeline to market.

By the end of March, Po.et will have launched its WordPress integration.

By April, they'll start offering content licenses.

October: Content marketplace will launch.

The rest of their roadmap is available here.

They have an enthusiastic, awesome community.

Just a quick shout out to the Reddit, Steemit, and Twitter communities. I think artists of all kinds will be attracted to POE, and thus far that's been the case. Of all the cryptocurrency communities I've joined, I have to say that though it is smaller, the POE community is the most enjoyable to interact with.
