RE: The Grave of the Potato King and the Trees of Sanssouci
I like your respectful approach, asking the spirits permission to enter. The other curious thing I noticed: Schiller and Goethe must have come AFTER Frederick was gone. Which is fine, as some of the trees may have stood around even before he came around. So it is just as likely that someday your likeness would adore that path along with theirs. Maybe not in the same way, though, those busts do look a bit strange on those pillars. But since you've been made eternal in the blockchain, no statues are needed.
The blockchain has made us immortal ;-)
Goethe was born 1749 and Schiller 1759, and Frederick the Great died 1786. Goethe's first drama, that made him famous "Goetz von Berlichingen" came out in 1773, and Schiller's first drama, that made him famous "Die Räuber" came out in 1781, so Frederick did know them. Sanssouci was built from 1745 until 1747. When the statues were put up and by who, I don't know ;)
