Code routed through nodes,
birth data-sets in a breath.
A tool for freedom.
I couldn't write Haiku around the subject of technology without trying to write one about Blaockchain tech. In this Haiku I've attempted to get to the core of my perception of blockchain. Obviously it is a little difficult to explain in a poem with a strict limit of 19 syllables 😉 So what I've done is try to write something that makes sense and might excite the interest of someone who had never heard of blockchain. I personally think that the key to tackling mainstream adoption is to try and push the distinction between cryptocurrency and the technology behind it. If many more non-crypto folks understood what a decentralized ledger was rather than simply knowing that Bitcoin has wild swings in price, then we would see a much quicker drive to realize internet 3.0.
This is day twenty five of my month long challenge - from the 06th of August until the 06th of September - to post a daily Haiku on steem. Each week will have a different theme based on picture prompts from either Pixabay.com or Unsplash.com. This week's broad theme is technology.
I have created a new tag #monthofhaiku. If anyone wants to replicate the challenge please feel free, I will check the tag occasionally and try to curate the better Haiku. However, this is not meant to be a challenge to the writers' community. I am away in Yorkshire from today for 10 days with no access to a computer and limited internet. Please, forgive me if I'm slow to respond to comments, as I will only be checking my phone (and partiko) occasionally while away. This weeks Haiku are being published via
