CHAINWARS
A Gonzo Crypto Space-Opera
What happens when mortals try to create an immutable world?An epic docu-series from inside crypto's war room.
The promises. The death spirals.
Myths hiding between the memes and press releases.
Stories that the whitepapers were protecting you from.
"I've seen things that you people didn't even notice.
"$40 billion that vanished in 3 days.Chains that managed to turn back time democratically.
Today both timelines are still running...Currencies mined like ore from mountains, that only exist in mathematics.And a joke made in three hours that inspired the formation of a government department.-Bitcoin emerged from that world like digital fire.But we didn't call it mining back then.
It felt more like prayer.-For some, it was never about values.
I might've been one of them, but I don't really remember.You stay because you found something.
Or you stay because you forgot why you came.-I went down the rabbit hole.
Turns out it's not a hole.
It's a whole civilisation
It has its own gods, its own creation myths, its own inevitable death spirals.Nobody's captured its mythology yet.Time for some cultural grave-rob.. -ahem- archaeology."

"Fly you Fools surprised me with the first example of Gonzo crypto journalism I'd ever seen - it's as close as I can remember to some of Breaker Mag's more interesting work, with a decidedly askew look at a self-serving, self-important and often self-unaware industry that could certainly use a literary education.”
