Rare Rain

Once upon a time the city of Dubai that was no longer famous and visited. Without many inhabitants and with a lot of abandoned luxury structures and vehicles, the metropolis seemed to hide in the desert from which it once emerged. Only a few tourists a year came to the last of the artificial islands built: Caribbean Cay.



Precisely there, gentlemen, tell yourself once, a group of tourists were celebrating a birthday on December and were surprised by something in the sky. A large metal ball descended from among the clouds and was heading at great speed towards the emirate. It was coming fast and flashing green colors. Supposedly, a witness tells, there was a man who shouted at that moment:

—Look, the disco ball for the dancing time has arrived!

Apart from this subject, the other people ran, dived or cried, lamenting their unexpected end. But when the roar of the big metal ball was noiser than the rest of the things around, an explosion was heard. Soon after, people at the place could see two men who high-fived and said:

Done!

The people who remained on the island soon asked: what just happened?, who are you?, what about the green ball?

The men, who were dressed in litmus clothes, were going to answer them, but they put themselves on guard again. A strong glow bleached the sky and they immediately aimed upwards with black long weapons. They fired and fired, but did not hit the target. It was not as easy as before because this time there were four objects descending at full speed and with irregular trajectories. They were alive, it seems: a green metallic ball twin to the already destroyed one and three smaller white balls around it.

The armed men simply couldn't get it right and one of them then decided to pull out a control with a big button in the middle. Just as he was about to press it, the white metal balls started shooting at them. Cayo Caribbean was filled with screams and explosions. Half the island was sinking and the sky was echoing and the sea was going crazy and.. what else? Ah, yes, strange men's control fell into the hands of the only surviving tourist.

As if by instinct, this man quickly pressed the striking button and from the sea a huge bubble came out and went towards the metal balls. This bubble enclosed those scintillating flying objects and in a blink of an eye paralyzed and turned them off. They remained suspended inside the bubble for a few seconds and then the unexpected happened.

The muted balls began to crumble. Thousands and thousands of small golden objects felt like raindrops, crossing the bubble that was still high up. It was a rain of Bitcoins, the cryptomoney that revolutionized the economy during the 21st century. The stunned tourist couldn't even breathe at first; but then he jumped like crazy into the water to claim his fortune since there was no one else to do it. I mean, not even the gunmen could survive.

As it turned out, those glowing balls contained the largest reserves of Bitcoin in metallic-cybernetic currency. They were sent into space by their owners because there was no safe place on Earth. However, a fatal flaw in their universal positioning system caused Earth's gravity to bring the Bitcoin balls back when they were already believed to be unreachable and unsuitable for supporting the global economy in the 22nd century.

But let me tell you that the one who survived that time and who made his fortune in the now resurgent cryptocurrency is me. I, who have told you this story, am the new owner who wisely managed Bitcoin and brought Dubai out of the sands that swallowed it. I am the one who went to a party and took everything "the piñata" had.

In my mission to bring some order to the Earth, I have invested significantly in the modernization of education in Africa, Asia and Latin America. I have also collaborated to obtain and finally apply the cures against various types of previously untreatable diseases. I have accelerated the elimination of nuclear weapons and the progressive disappearance of armies around the world. And, most importantly, I have been working with all kinds of specialists to help people make sense of their lives.
