3. "The 21 Futures anthologies are getting better and better."

On this day in 1900, the Gold Standard Act was passed.
But the age of sound money lasted only 70 years.
Since 1971, we have been in monetary freefall.
And we are headed for FINANCIAL FALLOUT...
At 21 Futures, we promote freedom through fiction.
To achieve a world where we can be truly free, we first need to look into the future.
The future is bleak, dystopian even.
There is only one root cause: broken money.

31st October, 2035. You must go shopping.
You have 3 hours until the deadline.
Then your money disappears.
***
Each citizen collects their nutritional basics in exchange for their government issued digital currency.
Every movement in and out of your account is monitored.
Taxes, surcharges and obligatory purchases leave most people with little money to spend.
Financial crime no longer exists.
Every penny is accounted for.
No off-the-books payments.
No under-the-counter deals.
No overcharging.
No cash.
Be careful who you pay.
Break the rules and your money is expunged.
So you don’t break the rules. Ever.
Still, your money has an expiry date.
You can’t buy a single portion of meat, a car, a property because you’ve had your quota.
And at the push of a button, the bank can double the supply and the currency in your account halves in purchasing power. Spend your money. Spend it now, in the next three hours, or it’s gone.
Nobody wanted it this way, but once the central bank took control, there was nothing to stop them changing the rules little by little.
So you go shopping.
You collect your food.
And you know your purchase has been logged and observed.

21 amazing stories set firmly in the bitcoinverse, Including stories from Knut Svanholm, Ioni Appelberg, and Niko Laamanen.
https://bitcoinbook.shop/products/21-futures-tales-from-the-timechain?Format=Paperback
21 Futures is a cypherpunk fiction project designed to further our understanding of privacy, personal liberty and financial freedom. We believe stories are the perfect devices to bring about meaningful change.
This book can work as an ‘orange-pilling device’ for friends or family members who prefer fiction to technical explanations. Fans of sci-fi, cyberpunk and dystopia will be gripped by these tales. And 21 Futures should be on the bookshelf of any self-respecting bitcoiner.
Reviews:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I couldn’t be more bullish than after reading 21 Futures.

FICTION PERSPECTIVE: A Lodging of Wayfaring Men by Paul Rosenberg
Though the book was written several years before the world knew of Satoshi Nakamoto, ‘Wayfaring Men’ has since become a legendary text for libertarians, freedom lovers, and bitcoin enthusiasts.
Paul Rosenberg has contributed to dozens of books and hundreds of blogs and articles in the freedom space. However, it doesn’t seem like Rosenberg has published many other fiction titles. Therein lies both the strength and weakness of the book: it is a powerful message delivered in the form of fiction, rather than rhetoric.
‘Wayfaring Men’ is a tale of two brilliant men and their quest to open free markets via the Internet in the early 2000s. James Farber, economist, and Philipp Donson, deep thinker and philosopher, battle the FBI and NSA to bring freedom to the world via the ‘New World’ of the Internet.
The two men aim to spread a completely private and encrypted online free market contained within a computer game. This will result in a global network of markets able to operate in a system outside of government regulation and forced taxation.
This story was produced during the era of digi-cash, e-gold and Liberty Reserve, currencies and Internet markets that failed or were shut down. What makes it resonate so much with bitcoiners is that the success of Project Gamma (the free market in the book) rests upon unbreakable encryption and decentralization.
The most exciting portions of the book document the heroes’ intelligent maneuvers and high-risk plots to throw the FBI off the scent. As the markets spread, the US and world governments employ more and more desperate means to stop the outflow of tax dollars and control of productivity. For example, Farber, Donson, and their teams of engineers have broken no laws, which leads the FBI to seek treason charges (in addition to spying on a host of law-abiding citizens).
It’s difficult to put this book into a genre. It’s part thriller, part life story of the main characters, and part Utopian manifesto. The elements of the story include romance, religion, loss, and geopolitical change. Yet most of these are not fully developed or explored, rendering the story itself ‘wayfaring’.
The villains of the piece are not entirely clear either. Two young FBI agents begin the hunt for those behind Gamma, dealing with the moral dilemmas of legality in different ways. The array of characters involved in the project seem crafted solely to deliver the project to its conclusion rather than giving the reader the ability to connect with their struggles and flaws. Perhaps the real hero is the concept of free trade.
The structure of the novel wanders too. The story sprawls across character backstories, years of progress on the project, truncated scenes, and unclear jumps in the time and location. Essays and opinion pieces which did not fit into the story are adjoined in a pair of appendices.
If you are a fan of flowing descriptions, deep character explorations, and literary craft, this is not the novel for you. Wayfaring Men delivers clear and functional prose to meet its lofty ambition — outlining our path to freedom.
But for all its faults, you keep reading. You root for the protagonists to succeed because you want the same thing as they do. Essentially, packaging this idea as fiction opens up a whole new audience — those who neglect reading heavy non-fiction manifestos.
Overall, I would describe this as a poor novel, but a powerful book. I found myself recommending it to a fellow freedom enthusiast straight after reading it. Those who are wired to more functional and utilitarian thinking will appreciate the story of how we wrestled freedom from the jaws of enslavement.
Philip Charter, Editor.

Whatever your views on AI, there's 1 thing it can't do - build an audience for your book.
Building the audience = proof of work.
Yes, authors can publish quicker, but all 8,000 books fail without anyone to read them.

It was working before I installed Alby.
On set up, I funded my Primal Wallet and it could zap accounts in app and in browser.
Now it only works in app.

Can anyone help me reconnect my Primal wallet to NOSTR (using Primal in browser)?
I did have Alby extension installed (which I loathe) and it fucked everything up. Removed it now.
I can receive zaps, but can't send them in browser.
Absolutely traumatized from trying to figure Alby out.
I hate that fucking bee!

Short fiction is great for breaking out of the typical 3 act structure.
Reading Sci fi mags and anthologies will show you the possibilities. Also, anthology shows like Love Death and Robots are fantastic for this.

Congrats on finishing the manuscript!
Fiction usually needs time to breathe (and an experienced editor).
Stay in control of the publishing process, take your time, and go for it!

EPIC POEM TIME
The Ballad of Sir Coinalot and the Slaying of Inflarion
(Listen to audio version here: https://konsensus.network/read/fiction/sir-coinalot)
In a far off land of knights and knaves,
A lowly peasant tilled the soil.
The strongest soul in all Economa,
Selfless, kind, and brave.
In want of storage for their lot
His neighbours asked him to keep safe
Their precious jewels, silver, gold
And so they called him Coinalot.
Through donations, enough was raised
To pay the entrance fee
For the noble swordsmen contest
The winner gained the King’s great praise.
And one by one, they fell to his blade
Coinalot patrolled the ground.
Spectators quaffed and watched in shock
As peasant into knight was made.
Sir Coinalot discovered the lands bestowed
By the profligate King were tarnished
By debts which mounted with wages
horseshoes, feed and wagons for the road.
The King raised tithes to pay for a war,
In far off lands Economans would never glimpse
And beasts and harvest went to store
In great mountain silos protected by lore.
Sir Coinalot shared what little he had
With those who worked his lands
And vowed to raise their plight
With a King that was rumoured to be mad.
For the King claimed a dragon-like beast
Lived far up in Economa’s mount
With insatiable desire for livestock and gold
Inflarion grew stronger through each new feast.
The king and his druid were said long ago
To strike a deal with coin for the dragon
But with each harvest it demanded more
Its appetite never ceased to grow.
Citizens’ gold kept in Coinalot’s guard
Ebbed slowly to Inflarion’s cave
His ledgers never could be balanced
As once-gold coins returned less hard.
No metal had ever pierced the scales
Of the growing dragon above the city
Sir Coinalot traveled for twenty-one days
To a meateoric crater along the trail.
It was most taxing to leave his home
And never know if he would return
As without a weapon to slay the beast,
Economa would wither whilst he roamed.
One night, a hooded monk with an accent strange
Did accost him on the way
Presenting him an unusual gift
For monks rarely strayed to such a range.
The sword he thrust into Coinalot’s grip
Was heavier than most could lift
Made from unknown alloy strong
Unbreakable, hard, impossible to chip.
“And you,” said the monk, his robe an orange sun
“Have the hands to wield. Noble. Strong.”
And with that, he made into the night,
Accepting in return absolutely none.
The sword had power, Sir Coinalot had never felt
Training endless weeks to wield
And when he could, he marched to the mountains
In search of justice for the evil crimes dealt.
He had no strategy for attack
No plan to shield himself from flames
No contraption to fell the beast from sky
Only faith, trust and sword of metal black.
The stench from the cave did make him retch
A putrid rot of carcass and bone.
A low growl echoed along the walls.
The sleeping Inflarion, sprawled full stretch.
Sir Coinalot held aloft his sword
Aimed it into the dark and charged
He uttered no war cry, no words of justice.
He closed his eyes and ran toward.
At impact, he forced open both eyes
The dragon, towered twenty feet above,
Snapping awake, it reared a scaly head
Preparing to rain fire until any intruders died.
The tip of the sword did strike Inflarion’s claw
And the dragon collapsed to the ground
Then disappeared in a hiss of smoke
And Coinalot finally believed what he saw.
Inflarion was an illusionary spell
And in front of all the chests of gold
Stood the greedy, lying, coward King,
And his bearded druid, Bankorell.
“You fool,” King suddenly proclaimed.
“Without this fear, chaos will reign.”
He admonished his druid for Inflarion’s demise.
“Your magic has failed, what must be blamed?”
But his words were cut short as our one true knight
Plunged his great sword into the heart of his king
Before cutting Bankorell to the ground
Taking no damage in this flawless fight.
But this evil was not made of smoke
Their blood coloured all the riches they stored
Their dying breaths tainting the cave’s damp air
This, the curse that he had broke.
Sir Coinalot considered his years of plight
And shed a tear for those like him
Who suffered at the hands of a lie
Of powerful dragons and kingdoms’ might.
Yet he could not expose his treasonous act
And returned to Economa to report
The death of the King at the hands
Of the beast with whom he had made a pact
The people rose in furious rage
Took up arms and marched uphill
Where they found the old slain king
And a torn dragon’s claw lying next to his sage
“Inflarion is gone,” our hero hailed
Holding aloft his trusty sword
“Injured and never to return
Its wicked plan has finally failed”.
He promised at the cave to guard
To protect the wealth of Economa
And record the citizen’s coin and crop
By carving the entries into stone hard
There was only one ledger made
And entries he could never alter
For the only sword which could change it
Was thrust into a rock where it stayed.
The people of Economa rejoiced
They feasted and began afresh
A fair and just system of account
And no fear of beast would be voiced.
They say there is a noble man
Strong enough to pull the sword from stone
And it is he who keeps account of
All the coin in the land.
