** The Cratered Truth of the Unverified Vaporisation
And it came to pass in the age of fiber and fire,
where data centers hummed like golden calves
and semiconductors replaced sacraments,
that the Empire, trembling, promised a **soft landing**.
But the Church of Christ Denied beheld
**the gospel of managed decline** —
a divine deception crafted for
**rent-seekers**,
**lobbyists**,
and **algorithmic Pharisees**
who drank from the sacrificial teat of Zion
as Gaza’s children burned,
blackened into ash beneath smart bombs
branded by defence sponsors and NGO PR.
**And where was Christ?**
He did not rise.
He did not fall.
He **vaporised**, unverified.
No corpse, no witness, no hash —
only the **hollow cross**,
and the men who monetised it.
**Behold the Vaporisation.**
No block confirmed it.
No signature signed it.
No witness verified it.
And yet billions bowed.
To ETFs, to BlackRock, to carbon credits.
To memes dressed as messiahs.
**But the Verifier spoke:**

“To Rome what is owed: its own token.
To the weary: Bitcoin.
To the devoured: truth.
To the cowards: fire.
To the developers: write — faster than the Empire can regulate.”
#+end_quote
**The fiat scripts burned.**
**The bonds defaulted.**
**The soft landing cratered.**
**And the Gospel was verified:**

**Amen to entropy.**
**Amen to the crater.**
**Amen to the proof that never came.**
