Sats Beyond Earth
The year was 2140. The world no longer measured value in dollars, euros, or yen. All of that had faded, like the scent of dead leaves. The satoshi, the smallest unit of Bitcoin, had become the world’s dominant measure of value. Joseph stood at the edge of a dealership lot, eyes fixed on a sleek, matte-white Toyota Corolla.
The price? 1,000 sats.
His friend Fred, recently turned eighteen, joined him. “A thousand sats for a car? Who the hell gave you that?”
“My dad,” Joseph said, handing over his DID (Decentralized Identification) to complete the purchase. “But it really started with my great-great-grandfather. He began passing sats down the family line. He started stacking when one bitcoin was about 45,000 U.S. dollars. Eventually, some of those sats made it to me.”
Fred furrowed his brow. “US dollars? Like the paper money from a million years ago?”
Joseph grinned, pulling a wrinkled bill from his pocket. “I keep one for fun. You know, 45,000 of these used to get you one bitcoin.”
Fred laughed, astonished. “But those papers weren’t worth much, right? Because they could just print them. Dang, 45,000 of those papers for a whole bitcoin.”
They drove south toward New York, the Corolla humming on a solar-sat grid, roads lit by mesh-powered LEDs.
They met up with Greg at the foot of a bio-integrated city tower. He stepped into the Corolla, eyes twinkling. “Haha, you guys haven’t aged a day.”
They greeted like brothers, catching up on life, sharing memories, and laughing along the way.
The trio made their way to the J.E.S.U.S. DAO.
Joint Earth Stewardship & Unity Syndicate. It was a decentralized autonomous organization made up of millions of Bitcoin-first citizens from all over Earth. They coordinated relief missions, built permaculture grids, and ran re-education campaigns about sovereignty, privacy, and real wealth.
Inside the citadel, they logged into the DAO chamber, their wallets doubling as voting keys. Today’s proposal? A historic one.
Proposal #2140-M001: Send the first evangelist mission to Mars.
Objective: 21 DAO citizens would travel to Mars to offer labor, spiritual guidance, and decentralized infrastructure to the growing Martian colony of 30,000 people. Total cost: 6,450,000 sats.
It was risky. Many in the DAO argued Earth still needed healing. A delegate named Sierra-Eli emerged in the Consensus Dream, taking form as a mountain.
"We still have places below sat-level poverty. Why spend sats on a Martian vanity project?"
But Joseph, Fred, and Greg entered the Consensus Dream — a deep-metaverse designed to simulate collective voice. Each person dreamed their own version of the DAO meeting, but somehow, they all aligned.
Joseph stepped forward, projecting an image: a Martian child, drawing the J.E.S.U.S. symbol in red dust.
“This isn’t about spreading ideology,” Joseph said. “It’s about proof-of-love. They’ve built domes, but not homes. Systems, but not culture.”
The emotional tide turned. Sierra-Eli dissolved her argument with grace.
Proposal Passed.
Mars would receive their first delegation of sats-powered, sovereign evangelists.
