## Introducing CryptoGrow
> "CryptoGrow believes in empowering at-home growers with beautifully designed physical products with easy-to-use technology."

1. The CryptoGrow Vision
**CryptoGrow** is determined to build a future where technology users, providers, and vendors can grow symbiotically; where users control and earn from their own data; where the power to disrupt and save is in the peoples' hands.
Our genesis product, the **CryptoGrow** Pod, is our first endeavor to make this dream a reality -- disrupting the emerging cannabis market by making premium, automated, and cost-efficient cannabis growth accessible to all.
*The Pod is the first of our hardware to drop, but it's far from all we have ready for you...*
2. Why Cannabis?
**Cannabis has always been *****for***** The People.**\
**We believe it is high time that it were *****by***** The People too.**
Cannabis is medicine. It's recreation. It's culture. Despite millennia of free use by civilizations the world over, it has been used as a tool to oppress, disenfranchise, and incarcerate by the very same people that now aim to profit from it.
Driven by a mission to disrupt predatory industries and empower others with our technology, we see no market more ripe for liberation.
3. How to Get Started
**CryptoGrow** makes it possible to effortlessly grow premium cannabis in your own home with our **CryptoGrow** Pod. How?
1. Pre-order the Pod by [**minting a Burn NFT**](https://cryptogrow.world/mint/), and control your grow with our Mobile App.
2. All Burn NFT holders will be airdropped a free, dynamic Grow NFT, which connects to your Pod via our Mobile App and activates our Grow-To-Earn token rewards system.
3. Exchange these tokens on our E-Commerce Store for physical and virtual merchandise, like soil, nutrients, and token yield upgrades to earn and grow more!
**This ecosystem is designed to maximize ROI for users, making it possible to grow 100% Cost-Free premium cannabis** **after just three grows (less than a year!).**
