Preamble:Preamble:

I am not interested in bitcoin necessarily being the center of art. Art must be good first, in the service of truth, not some propaganda meant to brainwash me into believing bitcoin is the savior of humanity. However, the communities interested in bitcoin seem to overlap on some common themes.

If we study humanity deeply, truth emerges. Truth about the good and bad. Fiction is an avenue for this type of study.

Today, Dystopia feels ever more present in the here and now for some. Corruption is rife in the world and creates chaos. Anarchy opens up an archaic world of possibility, imagination and humanism. Speculation about the past and future are both worthwhile pursuits when the present becomes increasingly unbearable.

For better or worse, bitcoiners are very problem-oriented (see ~math) and the imagination, in my view, can be a salve for the most damning of problems.

My question then is, Do bitcoiners have an imagination?

My hope is--yes, a tepid yes.
