Eduardo Prospero
A fictional narrative inside The Citadel, a Bitcoin-focused private city run as a family enterprise by Eleazar Negrón, where a mysterious contractor named Eliseo Roca and his assistant Patrick install themselves as the regime's intelligence apparatus. The story tracks Eleazar through a coup, negotiations with the Cro-Magnon-turned-businessman General Tomás Máximo whose savings are partly in bitcoin, and a helicopter trip into the El Ávila mountains. It ends with a staged drone provocation designed to convince Eleazar's sister Elena and brother-in-law Simon to give up their property, which is revealed to hold a large garden, a hidden Bitcoin mining operation and a small hydroelectric plant. Signed by author Eduardo Prospero and presented as fiction, with no Stackchain content.
