Someone carved the alphabet into a tree and let it deform for five years and made a font out of it: https://bjoernkarmann.dk/occlusion-grotesque
So a great deal of the cryptocurrency space is admittedly hype, laundering, and oftentimes the wrong tool for the job. I'm a believer in the technology and I think it could do a lot of good for mankind. Average folks don't understand that it isn't just about money. Blockchains are records that are replicated globally and can't be altered. Here is an example(a little cheesy) of a message stored on a blockchain.

It could, in theory, be around for ages.
My cousins wrote and performed a song a few years back based on a Civil War letter written by a soldier to his wife. It's a good song.

Ken Burns also mentions it at the end of the first episode of The Civil War.
For most of recent history, up until about 60 years ago, the act of creation was just a part of life. Everyone sang or played an instrument or wrote or performed or danced or Something.
But recording technology turned creative output in to a path to fortune and fame. Suddenly, if you weren't exceptional, then why were you trying at all?
This concept is, of course, bullshit.
