The Curious Case Of The Man Who Disappeared
Four years ago if you had asked me: 'Anna, shut that computer down and tell me what Bitcoin is', I would have blinked at you stupidly. Now? I know Bitcoin is worth more than gold. Back then I hadn't dipped my toe into the world of investments and couldn't care less if the market rose or fell. I worked at a small market as a cashier and was paid minimum wage. I was only half-awake on my shifts and when I got home it was all I could do not to fall on my bed and sleep like there was no tomorrow. I thought Bitcoin was only for rich or some country's currency.

Mining
"Johnny! Where'd you go?" The old man sighed, he was getting impatient with this child. He couldn't be more than 19 but gods. He didn't need to follow Johnathan Willows around like a lost puppy. Of course, Johnny knew that the lad was just trying to do his job and that he had only started working for the care company that looked after him. But... God, he was just insufferable!

Smoke Signals
Communication. This is what separates us from the monkeys. It isn't an opposable thumb, or our upright walking position, or our hairless faces. No, the major difference between us and the animal kingdom, is our remarkable ability to successfully share information with each other.

Mint to Be
Cars and trucks lined the parking lot of the local watering hole. Every Friday night, white collars, blue collars and no collars gathered to shrug off another week of stress and ring in the weekend. Some threw darts; others chalked cue sticks and played 9-ball. Ciera chose a corner booth situated in the shadows cast by a neon advertising sign dangling over the nearest pool table. She reached into the inside of her denim jacket and retrieved a little black notebook. Ciera gingerly opened the notebook worn with age. The first line grabbed her attention, "My Encounter with Aliens in 1942."

The Mystery of Bitcoin
The black clouds on the silky sky started to part and let the moon beams sliver their way down to the earth with reflections rippling across the muddy puddles. The large rusting Iron horse behemoth sat covered with the nights rain. Its powerful gears and smokestack never to bellow and grind again as it did 50 years ago as it traced it path on rails laid by bloody backs of the immigrant bodies sacrificed. The proud face of the machine boasted a large broken headlight above a face perfectly around with the engraving of the compass and square burned deep into the cold iron. The dripping smokestack leaning from the rusted supports bled water onto the iron front panel to wash away the dust of time to reveal the pyramid and all-seeing eye. The rainwater slid down the inside wall of the giant belly where years of heat and pressure pumped the pistons as if they were valves in a heart. 80 years of burnt coal had left its scare in the belly with ashes five feet deep from its final run. Never to be burning again.

A Brief History of Debt
In the beginning, as the network of human Society began to crystallise, a sense of worth emerged. Self-worth, the worth of others, and the worth of things. The question of how much each individual would be willing to sacrifice in order to obtain the object of their desire has kept Society turning since this revolutionary moment of self-recognition.

Dear Nick
April 4, 2011 From:[email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Sat Dear Nick, I hope this message finds you well. I admit your last message left me distressed. I’m sorry for my delayed response, but it is becoming more difficult for me to type out these messages on my own. ALS quickly destroys my motor functions . It’s the most helpless I’ve ever felt.

An Outside Perspective (BTC)
Bitcoin: A History Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and/or a digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange and rather than relying on central authorities; it uses peer-to-peer cryptography to control its creation and management (Bitcoin Project, 2021). It was invented by, presumed, pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, who put in many existing ideas from the cypherpunk community (O’Hagan, 2016). The structure of bitcoin is a blockchain technology that it uses to record transactions on its network (Conway, 2020). A blockchain is pretty much, just a publicly spread ledger. It records every bitcoin transaction made on one of those blocks. When that block's memory is full, it is added to the chain of blocks. This ledger is freely available on any computer in the bitcoin network and validates bitcoin transactions, stores the blockchain, and relays transactions to other network computers. The correct term for these PCs is nodes.
