Book of Blocks | The First Tablet of The Crypto Archives

In the beginning, there was silence. The old world of finance and governance stood unchallenged, an unshaken empire built on trust in kings, banks, and invisible hands. But deep within the void, a prophecy stirred—an idea so powerful it could reshape the very fabric of value itself.

And so, in the year 2009, The Genesis Block was forged.

It was not built in a temple, nor proclaimed by a sovereign. It did not come from the halls of legacy institutions. Instead, it arrived as a whisper, hidden in the code of a digital scripture—Block 0 of The Bitcoin Ledger.

“The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.”

These words were not a mere inscription. They were an omen. A declaration. A rejection of the failing gods of centralized finance. A warning that the old world was crumbling, and that something new had begun.

The Creator’s Departure

Satoshi Nakamoto, the architect of this new world, was no prophet seeking followers, no ruler demanding obedience. Instead, the Creator placed the foundation stone and vanished into the mist—leaving only a gift: a system without a ruler, a ledger without trust, a currency without kings.

With Satoshi’s departure, The Era of The Disciples began.

The early believers—miners, cypherpunks, and digital alchemists—took up the torch. They spread the gospel of decentralization, battling doubt and obscurity. But as their numbers grew, so did their differences.

And soon, the first great conflict would arise—the Schism of The Blocksize Wars.

The Fracturing of The Faith

Like all great creation myths, the unity of the disciples was not to last. Some sought to preserve the purity of the Creator’s vision—an immutable, untouchable scripture. Others sought to expand the doctrine, modifying the sacred texts to fit a world of increasing demand.

The Blocksize Wars began as an ideological struggle but became an all-out war. Bitcoin forked, giving birth to factions:

• Bitcoin Core—The True Believers, guardians of the original doctrine.

• Bitcoin Cash—The Expansionists, seeking a more scalable gospel.

• Bitcoin SV—The False Prophet’s Crusade, claiming divine authority.

The battle raged not with swords, but with hashrates and governance debates. It reshaped the future of Bitcoin, proving that while the Creator had left, the struggle for control over His vision had only begun.

The Eternal Cycle

Though the first war ended, the legend of Satoshi continues. Every few years, a new prophet emerges, claiming to wield the true interpretation of the Creator’s words. Forks split the faith. Projects rise and fall like empires. And yet, through it all, Bitcoin remains—the Genesis Block untouched, the First Tablet preserved.

The old world still fights against this new order. Governments, banks, and institutions attempt to tame the beast, to rewrite the prophecy in their own image. But the myth has already been written. The movement has already begun.

Satoshi did not build an empire. Satoshi lit a fire. And now, it burns beyond control.

May it be more humane and fair than the world your governments have made before.

Thus begins the Book of Blocks.
