Quantum Computing & The Bitcoin Mystery
He sat there like a statue of carved flesh. I saw him blink occasionally, seriously once a minute or so, as he stared a hole through the two-way mirror. He'd been as docile as a doe since we came into his crappy apartment to slap cuffs on him, so now we let him sit silently at the cold bare metal table in interrogation chamber #4 with his hands folded demurely in front of him like he was front-row in an honors class. Those hands were the first thing that caught my attention about him. Long, pale, and thin. A pianist's hands. Or perhaps he spent too much time in front of a computer monitor.

The people's crypto
Some people speculated they were lizard people, shapeshifters or aliens, the unseen evil were humans, but with something missing a certain cold emptiness that you could see in their unfeeling eyes, I avoided their gaze out of some irrational fear that it would curdle my blood or cause my heart to explode. What was missing from these people that made them hardly human? a heart? Perhaps that is where the rumours of lizards began, with nothing to pump blood around their body they must be cold blooded beings, vampires devoid of actual life. What I thought was missing was a conscious a care for their fellow human, stuck in the swings of manipulation pulling the unseen strings of society like children with the world as their toy, no other motivation other than curiosity at what would happen if they pulled a certain thread, a war, a disease, a financial crisis, what couldn’t they manipulate, the weather? Who knows? Not me. Employed on a need-to-know basis, you might ask yourself how I ended up in this room with the superpowers of the world, the unseen elite, pale old men with money in place of their conscience and unquenchable hunger for power over the world and, sociopathic passions for manipulation of society. And that is why I was there, a computer programmer, with basic needs, no hunger for money and a passion for solving the problems society faced. I don’t belong here, I thought I was smart, not smart enough, I was here because I was useful, for my powers of manipulating the world with technology only I never saw it as manipulation, the room had no windows a round table I sat chained to the chair with every horrible scenario filling my head with terror, every second hope was shrivelling away I knew, with almost unfaltering certainty that I wouldn’t leave this room alive, the logical part of my brain knew but something, instinct maybe kept the flame of hope glimmering, how I got here I didn’t know 30 days ago I woke up slowly I hadn’t drunk much more than normal, but a my body was heavy and mind foggy like id drank a bar dry. Oh god the room span like I was inside a ball thrown around in a wild ocean.

The Mystery of Bitcoin
Why in this high-tech, Ai new world, is everyone is so blinkered and fearful of the evolution of our monetary system? It had to happen. There had to be a way for the people to take back control of their own finances, without being tied to the decisions and mistakes of the rich, who have no idea what happens as a butterfly effect by the time it filters down to the majority. And what compensation do we have? None, it's just 'tough luck' if the calculations don't quite add up... We (the non-millionaires) almost have to beg the banks to help us, and in return, we might get a few pounds or dollars interest every now and then. Gee, thanks guys!!

The history of Bitcoin
This story begins one afternoon back in 2001. Juggling between raising an infant child, attending college, and working most weekends I found myself with a day off to fall clean my home. As I went to clean out the drawers in my computer desk I noticed a CD I got in the mail for an online Casino. They were offering $1,000 free to try their games and awarded the proceeds after you spent the initial $1,000. So, I decided why not I had nothing to lose.

How Bitcoin Saved and Ruined My Life
It is polite to introduce oneself before starting the conversation. But I'm afraid I will give out more information than intended. If I have to tell my name, it would have to be a fake one. But I don't want to keep adding to the lies. Not again. The information given here is accurate to the best of my knowledge without affecting Ollie or I. Ollie. My saviour and my guardian angel. Ollie is the reason I'm alive today. There are some times I wish I had not met him. But I'm digressing. This is the story of how Ollie and Bitcoin saved me only to tear my heart to pieces.

Holy Bits
The room had the burnt smell of heated dust and ozone. Dozens, maybe hundreds, of fans clamored, keeping equipment cool. LEDs blinked as network traffic dipped and spiked. Drives spun up and down in the server room of the University of Tokyo.
