I returned from the year 2038 - this is the last time i will warn you.

-----------

I am sending this message from the year 2038 of the Third Age.

By now, you’ve likely heard whispers of what has become of the world. Let me emphasis: Bitcoin is now worth one hundred million dollars. But where I stand, that number bears no weight. It is not wealth. It is not status. It’s a monument. A final numeral signal marking the collapse of illusion, and the beginning of a different order.

I was not born within the walls. I walked the dust beyond. I was raised in the era where governments clung to broken systems like lifeboats with holes. Leaders promised stability while printing scarcity. We were told to trust systems already abandoned by those who built them. We waited for salvation in forms long dead.

There were those who adapted. They grew quiet lives. They formed new bonds. They remembered how to live by the turning of the seasons rather than the ticking of markets. These ones endured, and many still do. But there were others who refused to accept the shift resulting in entire regions lost to bitterness and denial. They believed the old world would return if they held on hard enough. They stopped asking questions. Then they stopped speaking altogether, ultimately fading from existence.

Then came the first vision of the Citadels, as many of you may recall from my earlier transmission.

It was quietly designed with intention. It stood in stillness, woven into the land like a seed returned to soil. There were no ads. No sirens. No slogans. Just stillness, and structure, and light. It didn’t try to persuade. It didn’t need to.

When I was welcomed in, I expected surveillance. Control. Some price to pay for entry. Instead, I found something I didn’t recognize at first. And that was truth. The systems weren’t perfect, but they were honest. Transparent. Everyone contributed, not because they had to, but because they wanted to protect what had finally become real.

No one asked me what I owned. They asked me what I remembered.

Inside, everything is rebuilt from first principles. Energy, food, architecture, learning. It all serves the same purpose: to reduce distortion. Children grow up knowing how things work. Arguments gave way to understanding, not because all agreed, but because there was nothing left to conceal.

You should know this: the Citadel isn’t a refuge for the elite. It’s not closed off. It’s a template. A preservation of clarity. It exists so that the human spirit could survive the collapse of noise and reorient itself around something stronger.

There are still many outside. Some will join. Some will remain where they are. That is part of the design. The Citadel was never built to save the world, rather, to remember the parts of it that were worth saving.

So if you’re still watching from a distance, unsure, I’ll tell you what I’ve learned:

This place is not an ending.

It is a re-entry into something older than progress.

You won’t be asked to prove your worth. But you will be asked to see clearly.

And once you do, you’ll understand:

The Citadel was never beyond reach.

It was only beyond denial.
