Alan Mackinder

Can you write an 80.000 word story as described below with chronological sequences from the beginning of bitcoin to its final demise at the hands of Buddy’s AI datacentre. Can you write on the basis of a range of humous, dramatic and suspenseful drama? The Bitcoin Bust I would like the lead character to be called Buddy (The Rhymer) King, see back story below, an eccentric billionaire from Minneapolis. He made his fortune investing in bitcoin and has developed a motivation to own every bitcoin in existence and will stop at nothing to achieve this aim. After becoming rich his obsession for bitcoin led to him becoming an obsessive Bitcoin miner. He sets up an extensive operation and multiplies his money until he becomes a billionaire. He has extensive computing capability to pursue his bitcoin mining. The cost of mining is becoming less attractive as the bitcoin halves. With the advent of Artificial-Intelligence he conceives a plan to do the impossible and steal every bitcoin in existence using AI to do the work required to break the blockchain and syphon off every bitcoin to multitude of untraceable small worldwide accounts to be managed by his AI System. We can check this as part of the plot. You can outline what makes bitcoin impregnable and what scenarios AI can adopt to break the blockchain an steal $2.5 Trillion. Making this part of the drama and suspense finally getting AI, with sufficient computing power, at moments of vulnerability in the bitcoin operating cycle of control to simply freeze the blockchain bringing it under the control of AI and then putting the $2.5 Trillion into lots of small accounts that can be manged without arousing suspicion and leaving the bitcoin investors bewildered and broke with no trail to where the money has gone. He has ambitions to become the world’s first trillionaire by taking $2.5 trillion from the blockchain. This is a feat he can never declare but one that will give him silent satisfaction He has He is not motivated by money and wealth just a crazy desire verging on madness. He communicates his most important messages in rhyme. Can you revise the framework and story line to make him the main character and the recruiter of the trusted sub characters from his own organisation. Examine all of the nuances of the process of hacking the blockchain. He will stop at nothing to achieve his aim. He is 80 years old with a complex history of ex-wives, numerous relationships and complex relationship with his 2 children. But also, a network of close supportive friends from his past before the madness of bitcoin had gripped him. He as significant health issue with treatable heart and cancer conditions. His secondary desire is to pour much of the proceeds of the Bitcoin Heist into developing cutting edge treatments for his health conditions and a dash to exploring the possibilities of immortality using his now unlimited wealth as the driver of this aim using AI and cutting edge genetic research. The Story climaxes with Buddy succeeding beyond his dreams and no one in ever brought to justice for the crime. The money is never returned and the concept of cryptocurrency dies a death as confidence in this non fungible asset never recovers and all of the other cryptocurrencies dies a natural causes death when their prices collapse to nothing The backstory to the heist is Buddy’s life. Born to a farming family, had a hard time with his father, left the farm and made good in Minneapolis politics and made it to a senator. Used money from his political income as the basis for his bitcoin investment when low priced bitcoin was first introduced and as a gambler, his gamble paid off. Time now in Autumn 2025 and with health uncertainties Buddy has invested in Artificial Intelligence as his means to steal $2.5 trillion at the push of an AI button and to manage his ill-gotten gains through a multitude of small worldwide accounts that would go unnoticed in the grand scheme of things. Buddy understands the enormity of the task as the block chain is built to impregnability standards but he is confident AI will prevail. Many back stories here with drama, suspense, humour, poetic input, political intrigue, romance with Mary in his later years. Buddy is now in a relationship with Mary, his current wife, and the only person who has control over him. She also was married to a senator and left him to be with Buddy, who was always energetic and Charismatic with resilience born out of tough childhood. He has everything he could want but the bitcoin would be the icing on the cake. He was a great sporting guy with grappling being his main participative sport. So, the story is all about Buddy and the mad desire to get the bitcoin. Can we go with this story line and the urgency for Buddy to complete the heist as time is of the essence with his health condition so it is a race against time to steal the bitcoin and gain immortality. Buddy’s best friend Paul, from childhood has been his sounding board, he became a journalist and did his best to keep Buddy grounded with mixed success but his loyalty to Buddy was unshakable.
