In the digital realm where shadows gleam, lies a treasure born from a coder's dream. No golden coins, no paper trace, just cryptic keys in a virtual space. Blockchain's ledger, a fortress strong, where transactions sing their immutable song. Bitcoin, the pioneer, first to soar, opened the door to so much more. Ethereum's contracts, a decentralized pact, with promises coded, no need for tact. Ripple's swift currents, a banker’s delight, sending value in the blink of night. In this brave new world, where code is king, the future hums with the blockchain’s ring.
