So i went... it was raining for 2 hours nobody at the beach, people are hiding. There is a place at the end of Otres beach called Last Hippie Standing. I will go there tomorrow, its very dark now, sun goes down punctually at 18.00. Heated air stays around much more longer, my shirt is always wet, how many of my electronics devices will survive this trip, none of them i guess, maybe Samsung 8. I have to remember to make a backup every week. I am walking alongside the ocean, pitch black around me. Only me and ocean that I can only hear and feel with bare feet. I light a weed joint I roll earlier in my hotel. I take a deep breath and inhale aromatic smoke in my lungs and I walk again. In my head i hear the voice of the woman i meet yesterday on the beach. She was walking with her 9 year old daughter selling grilled crabs. Her little girl was selling self made silk bracelet to the tourists. They walk toward me and they they sit down. I ask her to make me a crab on her charcoal portable grill she was carrying with her. She lights up the charcoal. I immediately could smell aromatic oily smoke coming from the crab being barbecued. Her daughter start an elevator pitch to sell me the bracelet. I look through her stash of bracelets. I turn with my head and said:
" Ok, I take one."
" Thank you sir, 2 dollars" she said.
I look at her mother and ask:
" Why she is not in school?
" No school, no school now sir. School finish at 11.30. Extra classes you have to pay extra sir. School in Cambodia from 7.00 to 11.30, sir. " she look at me then she look at my crab on her barbecue and she said:
"Jaaa sir...Cambodia life"
I look at the girl, she smiles and she start to show me her bracelet again. In english she said:
"I can make your name sir on the bracelet, one letter 2 dollars, what is your name sir?"
" Bitcoin" - I said like an automat not really thinking, she heard me and repeat " Bitcoin" i knock "Yes" with my head, actually being amaze the she pick Bitcoin right.
" 14 dollars sir, its 7 letters sir" she said again.
" A lot of dollars" i told her
-" Ok 10 dollars ,sir. I make it for you, 3 hours sir, i bring it tomorrow, what colors sir you like."
I look at her with understanding and decide to accept the deal.
-" Bitcoin colors of course, show me, we will choose black background and orange for letters, ok?"
My crab was ready, she prepare for me some black pepper sauce with it, i dip the meat and eat. They boths look at me with a smile and i was happy, the meal was great.
" Are you alone, sir? - she asked
I knock with my head.
" No good sir, no alone after dark on the beach, sir. No good, No alone" she repeat herself few times.
" Ok, ok i will be carefull" I said.
"No alone, go hotel after dark sir" she was upset, i could see it in her eyes.
"Ok, ok... no alone" I said again.
"See you tomorrow."
It's strange school system in Cambodia. Primary school It's free, as long you pay around 2 dollars per month yourself. School only takes from 7.00 until 11.30. After 12.00 you can go to school for an extra lessons that you have to pay. No poor kids are at school after 12.00. Just the rich kids. Secondary school is more expensive around 5 dollars per month. So many cambodian don't see the sense going to them. Everyone want to have own business and going to school is only in the way for them. Many girls didn't have a chance to go to school. They work on the beach. I have a meeting with a local school next week and will set up a multisig wallet with school so we can support individual children paying them school fee for a year. Every Patreon will get hand made Bitcoin bracelet with name of the kid that he sponsored. The bracelet can be auction once a year during dinner on the Blockchain Cruise. money we can use to build schools if needed. We could even create individual ethereum contracts for the kids, doing really good use of ethereum blockchain instead of breading Crypto Kitties. Traders can trade the contracts, as always making money, but the kids can get transaction fee, which can probably sponsor their future education. Digital Aid Kid Bracelet.
I think about my life, about this computerized digital decentralized religion being born in front of my eyes. Religion that is giving people hope again, religion without the church or saints, sacrifice and Crucifixion, mystical beliefs. Everything in Numbers. Easy to predict easy to calculate. You don't have to confess to prove your fate, with Bitcoin you can easy calculate your fate. More Satoshi's you acquire the bigger fate you have. The bigger fate the bigger miracle on the end, if you only manage to believe and keep your fate. Beware you probably build future for your kids and the kids after them. Just like Gutenberg make it possible for us to hodl our books in our own hands and took from the hands of the Royals and their priest, so we can read today freely whatever we choose. This some is happening right now, not with books and knowledge, but with our money. We can finally can choose not to be a citizen of the nation country with a government that recognize only his own financial system and protect it always with violence, one man laws and military. We have our voice back and we are vocal, when Korean government decide to regulate crypto last week this voice was heard. When 50% of the country population has a dream and use crypto to become rich having some success in that field and its attack by it's own government they fight. ( this fight was won again by Bitcoin)
We can all pray :" Hodl Lord Satoshi, Hallelujah. "
I see some light in the water. I start to walk toward it. I see someone. It's Satoshi Nakamoto floating in front of me on the ocean with his face turn up to the stars. I stop next to him and stand still we look at each other we smile.
He says: "I know, i know. If i only knew all this..." He finish his sentence and look back at the stars in the night sky. It's so dark around. I suddenly hear the voice in my head from the woman i meet yesterday:
"No alone sir, after dark no alone on the beach sir"
I look back at Satoshi, but he is gone. I am all alone in the water. It's time to head back to the hotel. I start to move and water starts to glow. I can see the shape of my body illuminating in the water I start to feel like in Avatar, at first i think what a strong weed they have here, but the next day on the beach they want to sell me the trip to luminescens glowing algies for 10 dollars.
Who was it? Satoshi or... ?
