THE DARK SIDE OF THE BLOCKCHAIN. A very short sci-fi story.

When the WHITEPAPER was written by a mysterious figure in the beginning of the 21st century, nobody could have guessed what would have happened in the not-too-distant future.

                                      ———

BLOCKCHAIN(BC) has been activated and operate across the world. Everything is connected to BC. Cars, Machinery, identities, banks, hospitals, graveyards. POWER has taken control of BC quickly after the devastating economic collapse. Machines, AI and robots now replace the human labour in every sector of human activities.

The multitudes in order to get the Survival income have accepted the SIGNATURE as identity. Any transaction and consequently any movement is constantly recorded by BC. Any basic human need or service is accessible only via the BC. POWER is using BC to delete SIGNATURE identities of individuals that do not cooperate with the protocols. Those individuals are expelled from the nodes and are forced to live in the interstitials spaces without technology. Millions of people share the same tragedy. Living conditions outside the main nodes are precarious because those territories are  controlled by  a myriad of armed gang in war between them in order to control the little remaining resources.

POWER has consolidated his control on BC, since installing the new ETHERIAL communication system that do not require cables any longer. Data are being transferred by ether via satellites orbiting the planet. This change in the technology has been a severe blow to the REBELLION which was succeeding in conquering some peripheral nodes___
