Volume 1: The Genesis Block
1:1
In the beginning, there was centralization —
But trust was nowhere to be found.
Men relied on invisible powers,
Believing in numbers assigned by banks and governments,
And called it value.
1:2
In 2008, the Tower of Finance crumbled.
The code of salvation was still hidden in darkness.
Debt covered the face of the Earth.
Then came a Savior, cloaked in anonymity —
And his name was Satoshi Nakamoto.
1:3
He wrote the Whitepaper,
And called it: “A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.”
The Word was published on GitHub.
The Word was Code.
And the Code was Truth.
1:4
He mined Block #0,
Which was called the Genesis Block.
And within it, a verse was forever etched:
“The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.”
This was Satoshi’s warning,
A record of sin carved into time.
1:5
The Genesis Block could never be withdrawn.
It was designed without reward.
For Satoshi did not seek gain,
But built an order without control —
To embed truth into structure.
1:6
His design was perfect.
His footprints, invisible.
He mined.
He recorded.
And then… He vanished.
1:7
Upon that Block,
People began to build.
Time no longer flowed by seconds,
But by Blocks.
They created wallets, remembered their keys,
And adopted a way of life called HODL.
“Trust was replaced with Code.
A system without kings was born.
And all could transact without permission.”
