Sommelier, Author & Creator

I’m Michele Edington. Thanks for being here.

Blockchain Botany is currently in the prototype phase
If you’re tired of not understanding web3, blockchain, and cryptocurrency, don’t worry, Blockchain Botany is here to teach you the blockchain with gamified learning!
Plant seeds, stake your crops, and grow your understanding of wallets, tokens, and Web3…one cute plant at a time.
No weird phrases you don’t understand, and absolutely no pressure or risk involved at all, just Mars soil and greenhouses, digital sprouts, and financial literacy in disguise.
After suffering through a severe trauma in 2021 I was told to write by all of my doctors. This is a continuation of my therapy, exploring stories that inspire me or excite me about the future.
I hope to pass on a little of that wonder to you!
Cheers!
Doing my very best to spread joy in the world, feel free to keep on moving if this doesn’t resonate with you.
There’s no need to spread hate, the world has enough of it.
“Some people are just born to fight, I think.
It’s not that they’re born brave. It’s not that they’re born strong. It’s just that the universe has decided that this one, this one will have grit and fire and steel in their blood. And it’ll be tested, this cosmic mettle of theirs. They’ll face trial after trial, be broken and damaged in countless ways.
But this one was born to fight. Maybe it’s not the life they would have chosen. Maybe they’d love to lay down their arms. But they were born to fight. It’s what they know. It’s what they do best. It’s all they can do.”
