Web3 Fantasy Adventures in 3 Minutes” Chapter 2: The Birth of Bitcoin and Its Mysterious Creator

Introduction

In the previous chapter, Blocky and Gatsby discovered the wonders of the “Magic Ledger” (blockchain). Today, they will delve into the legend of the City of Trust and uncover the secrets behind the world’s first “digital gold coin.” Let’s continue the journey and step further into the fantastical world of Web3!

The Story

Ever since discovering the Magic Ledger, Blocky had been fascinated by the history of the City of Trust. One day, while wandering with Gatsby through an ancient library rumored to hold countless tales of the city’s legends, they came across a dimly lit corner.

On a dusty shelf sat a book, its cover inscribed with the title: “Satoshi Nakamoto: The Birth of Bitcoin.”

“Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?” Blocky asked softly.

Gatsby leaned in with a mysterious air. “Satoshi Nakamoto is an enigmatic magician. He appeared during the City of Trust’s greatest crisis and created the first digital gold coin—Bitcoin.”

“Digital gold coin?” Blocky’s eyes widened with curiosity. “Is it also recorded on the Magic Ledger?”

Gatsby nodded. “Exactly. Bitcoin was built upon the Magic Ledger. Satoshi’s creation transformed the entire city.”

Gatsby opened the book and began recounting the legendary tale:

The Chaotic Era

Long ago, the residents of the City of Trust used traditional gold coins for their transactions. However, these coins relied on the city’s treasury for safekeeping, and the treasury’s records were often prone to errors. Sometimes, the greed of certain “treasury sorcerers” even led to the loss of residents’ wealth.

“Everyone longed for a more transparent and reliable monetary system,” Gatsby explained. “That was when Satoshi Nakamoto invented Bitcoin.”

The Birth of Bitcoin

"Satoshi Nakamoto designed a unique digital gold coin, with every coin recorded on the Magic Ledger and generated through a process called ‘mining.’”

“Mining?” Blocky asked, puzzled. “What are they digging for?”

Gatsby explained, “Mining is a way to make the Magic Ledger more secure. Miners use their computational power to solve complex magical puzzles. When they solve a puzzle, they are rewarded with new Bitcoin.”

Gatsby pointed to an illustration in the book: miners operating magical devices in a glowing mine. Each time a puzzle was successfully solved, a new Bitcoin was forged and recorded on the Magic Ledger.

“What’s even more important,” Gatsby continued, “is that Satoshi’s design fixed the total supply of Bitcoin, ensuring it couldn’t be endlessly increased by greedy ‘sorcerers.’”

The Mysterious Departure

“Where is Satoshi Nakamoto now?” Blocky asked curiously.

Gatsby shrugged. “No one knows. After completing the initial design of Bitcoin, he vanished from sight. He left behind the foundation of Bitcoin and the Magic Ledger, enabling the residents of the City of Trust to continue building their own future.”

The Magical Powers of Bitcoin

Through this lesson, Blocky summarized Bitcoin’s three main characteristics:**1. Decentralization: **Bitcoin doesn’t rely on banks or central institutions; it is maintained by miners from around the globe.**2. Scarcity: **Bitcoin has a limited supply of only 21 million coins, ensuring its value isn’t diluted.**3. Anonymity: **Every transaction is recorded on the ledger, but users’ identities remain anonymous, protecting their privacy.

After hearing the story, Blocky marveled, “Satoshi truly was a great magician. His creation not only solved trust issues but also opened up new possibilities for the City of Trust.”
