Welcome to earth 2.0, a time when the lines between the physical and the digital worlds are blurred, and citizens live and experience life through both. The corporations won, forcing the average citizen to pay for every experience they seek. But these experiences have no value beyond the games they force us to play. We buy, we play, repeat, but where is the true value for us? The corporations are getting bigger, while the pillars of these experiences, us the citizens, get lost further and further down this rabbit hole of power asymmetry. The crazy thing is, we keep buying into it, because what’s the alternative to this world?
While we were all lost in this loop, someone or a group of people, had the vision for humanity to break out of this cycle. The story goes, that this person(s) had heard of a universe where central authorities no longer held power, and changes came from the bottom. A universe for the citizens of tomorrow. These ideas threatened the very foundation of earth 2.0, so the person(s) escaped and left earth, never to be heard of again. But before their escape, it was said that he left behind a key. A unique key that could not be copied, and only it would open the doors to this universe for those who were brave enough to come to seek it. But with time people forgot, but those who didn't, came to know them as Satoshi Nakamoto.
Years passed, and life continued as normal if we can call this normal. But one-day a cryptic message was transmitted to all devices. First, it seemed like a virus of some sort. But using the proper hardware, it was deciphered. A message, from an unknown origin represented by a 32-character hash, carrying a few words, “Found it” and a set of coordinates“46.519884789620136, 6.630959977110268” which would be beyond our known and charted galaxy. This was the sign we needed, our leap of faith.
It didn't take much convincing, many have been waiting for this moment to venture out, and they did. Leaving everything behind on earth 2.0, even the identities given to us, we forged new ones. There were many ships that left that day, our crew, our ship, our cause, was known as XBorg. We are X, anonymous but unified just as the first person(s) to leave this world with a dream. All we carried with us, was the key left behind years ago.
