Write a short story about a revolution for decentralisation against an evil government set in a dystopian future where cryptocurrencies prevail.


‘Viva la revolución’ Lia thought as she completed the last transaction. The artifice hack had gone down flawlessly with stacks of cryptocurrencies airdropped to all Skvllpvnkz in the Hideout. The Skvllpvnkz were coalition of survivors bound to overthrow the evil corporation.

Lia knew she’d been connected to the Corp’s servers far too long now and her location would be exposed. There was little time. She began the live stream: 

‘Skvllpvnkz! We endured and raged with fury, but now we rise from the ashes! Delirious from abstract memories of a world the elders spoke of and only dream of! By the will of Gods we will prevail! Our ancestors fought for freedom. We fight for decentralisation!’ 

The aircast is interrupted and Lia is cut off.

At the Hideout, time stood still as Lia’s voice echoed in the vast underground maze. The silence that followed was brief. As the cryptocurrency airdrop materialised, a victorious uproar spread like a wave. The Skvllpvnkz would finally be free.
