As a thinker and poet, I know that ideas and words can change the world. This is what drew me to crypto-currency, wanting to be part of this exciting socio-economic revolution.

I think a big part of Bitcoin's success has to do with the increasing lack of trust regarding big institutions - financial, governmental, even news. In such a disheartening environment, it makes senses that people should wish to cut out the suspect middle men out and take back their power!

Keep smiling, @lukestokes, I am, too =)
