INTRODUCTION

Let me explain – if you’re new to Poet, POE can be simply described as follows:

A decentralized platform that allows publishers to license, identify, and monetize digital content such as blog posts, news articles, YouTube videos, audio/music, e-books and more.

It ensures content creators will receive credit and be financially rewarded for the content they create.

Poet is more efficient and global than standard copyrighting due to its speed and decentralized nature

What makes POE great?

Think about all of the articles, news posts, and videos stolen on the internet today… Social media is notorious for this.

Poet seeks to offer a tangible and immediate solution to this problem that, before now, has been extremely difficult to control in our ever-expanding and evermore transparent digital world.

To put it simply, it is difficult to legally enforce who owns digital content created online. Poet plans to resolve this.

It will ensure creators are credited for their work and rewarded accordingly. Blockchain quite literally provides the solution to this and Poet is the key.

Why POE?

Mass adoption is very near. Poet is currently testing a WordPress plugin, Frost app, that is scheduled to go live January 21. Due to the widespread use of WordPress, when this goes live, Poet will be available to over 300 million websites at the flick of a switch.

The community is growing rapidly and the Poet team has been aggressive in expanding its community team to best position the platform for continued growth and adoption.

Realistic, yet aggressive roadmap: The Poet roadmap is one of the few roadmaps I’ve seen that clearly outline the goals and do so in a very realistic timeframe. In addition to this, their product is coming very soon.

Undervalued market cap: Inevitably a critical factor for any investor. My personal belief is that project is just getting started. This project aims to target a market of nearly 1 billion+ websites, and that doesn’t even include the number of articles, posts, videos, and audio attached to these sites. Poet is just now beginning to gain a lot of momentum and hasn’t even begun their public marketing campaign. The development team has been extremely transparent and continues to seek out the community to regular input and feedback. This team has performed brilliantly thus far and continues to meet and exceed expectations!

COMPETITORS

There aren’t any companies directly doing anything quite like Poet. The closest comparable are maybe VeChain (Tracks real-world goods), Tron (Content hosting, Justin Sun compared to a Facebook or Youtube), and Publica (Marketplace for ebooks like Barnes & Noble or Amazon), but their goals are completely different and would not resolve the issues of content licensing and proof of existence like Poet seeks to achieve. Poet aims to resolve a very specific and achievable goal.

Poet aims to resolve a widespread global issue that has not been achieved before.

Allows for any content creator to utilize its platform for proof of existence.

Allows publishers to license, identify, and monetize digital content easily and seamlessly.

Will prevent plagiarism and allow for content disputes via community trusted mediators.

More efficient than copyrighting

Completely decentralized
