2140. The last ever Bitcoin has just been mined and you’re only half listening to news outlets going on and on about it over the past week. It reminds you of some story about an old crypto wallet your family had kept for years. Nothing but old stuff, you've always been told: old stuff that a distant ancestor kept holding on to, for whatever reason.
Yet, as you flip through the collection, you start to understand: it's no old stuff. It is Relics from another era. Artefacts from the beginnings of your time. Among Non-Fungible Pepes, Sorare cards and cryptic GIFs of ancient memes whose point you don't fully grasp yet, something stands out. Something timeless.
Faces of people you'll never know. Memories of no-one(s). Nothing but old stuff: except that AI made it, more than a century ago when people had just begun understanding the impact it would have on the world. Rewind a few years back and computers were only good for burping out bleeps and blops in research labs.
If videos of dance challenges, angry political tweets and blue Instagram checkmarks were lost forever on private servers scattered around the world, the blockchain was the only way to secure a piece of digital History across time.
This NFT does not exist, but its value is very real. It's based on time, historical memorabilia and the never-ending cycle of progress and technology. Not a trend.
