What if we crafted a book to enlighten future generations about the history of Polkadot, blockchain, and the economic revolution of our era? An illustrated masterpiece delving into the essence of a universal coin! This endeavor could contribute to the creation of a legend, a myth that resonates within the Polkadot community.

Illustrated Book: "The Sacred Coin Quest" - Continuing the Creation of Culture in Polkadot

Introduction: The culture of a community is shaped by the exchange of common experiences, molding the collective perception of the world. Polkadot stands out in this regard, with cultural elements such as the economy, governance, and group activities evolving into traditions, thus constructing the cultural identity of the network and its members. It is a passion for what we do and a shared love for those with whom we work. This is how culture is born.

Motivation and Project: In this culturally moment for Polkadot, I aspire to contribute a grain of sand to this vast "beach" by creating an "odyssey"—a narrative that resonates with those present, those yet to come, and those observing. I present "The Sacred Coin Quest," an illustrated book that sprouted a year ago when I sensed the passion driving this blockchain, Polkadot. Now, I feel ready to undertake this project with the seriousness it deserves, constructing a magnificent world for all of you. My goal is to entertain with stories and educate about the ideals of Polkadot.

Synopsis of "The Sacred Coin Quest": The story of "The Sacred Coin Quest" is set in the year 2140, in a world deeply divided between blockchain and fiat currencies. While there is greater control over resources, the population is fragmented between those seeking freedom through cryptocurrencies, known as the "free people," and the "villagers," who serve the imposed fiat system. This scenario raises questions about power, freedom, and the influence of financial choices on society.

Persefone, our protagonist, embarks on a journey through this divided world. Inspired by the quest for information about blockchain usage and understanding, she gradually discovers the nuances and complexities of Polkadot. This knowledge journey not only explores the workings and development of Polkadot but also delves into the political, social, and psychological themes defining the society constructed in this dystopian future, drawing inspiration from literary works like "Brave New World" and "1984."

Persefone's fate intertwines with that of Gavin, a man whose role triggers her quest for the "coin of everything." This sacred coin, with unique characteristics, becomes the central axis of the narrative as Persefone embarks on an adventure to find it and potentially save the world from the division and control imposed by different forms of currency.

Throughout her journey, Persefone encounters notable figures from the blockchain world, providing an educational window into concepts such as Bitcoin maximalism and, of course, the essence of Polkadot and the true decentralization of the world.

"The Sacred Coin Quest" not only offers an exciting adventure but also serves as an educational tool about blockchain technology and the fundamental role of Polkadot in constructing a decentralized future. The narrative becomes a rich exploration of diverse societies, social relationships, and the importance of diversity in a world driven by financial decisions.

This project, aimed at contributing to Polkadot's culture, seeks to transcend the barriers of time and become a work that resonates with those living it, those inheriting it, and those observing it. Join Persefone in her quest for the "coin of everything" and discover a magnificent world full of intrigue, learning, and action!

Story Structure: The project is structured into nine chapters (books), each representing a region of the world, reflecting the expansion of Polkadot:

Chapter I: Vienna Chapter II: North America Chapter III: Journey to South America Chapter IV: Romania Chapter V: Russia Chapter VI: China Chapter VII: The Dream Chapter VIII: Encounter with Satoshi Chapter IX: The Coin of Everything

Education and Technical Themes: Each chapter will become a book that combines adventure with education about Polkadot, from understanding a public key to designing a blockchain using Substrate.

Initial Phase - Small Tipper: In the first step, "Small Tipper," I seek a small initial fund to dedicate time to story development, including world-building, characters, conflict ideas, plot, and subplot. This solid foundation will allow the community to contribute by voting on the themes and plots to address, creating a decentralized story.

Requirements and Development Plan: I will need at least a month to document the idea and structure it properly, acquire the necessary software for writing, and create initial sketches. I have a talented Italian friend in NFT art who will illustrate the first cover. Regarding funding.

I am initially requesting 250 DOT.

Execution Plan: If the proposal is approved, after completing the first phase, the plan is to move to a second funding round ("Big Tripper"), where the first chapters will be developed and published. I will officially hire illustrators and professionals to correct and translate the firt chapter into various languages.

Economic Autonomy and Community Contribution: Once economic autonomy is achieved, I will stop seeking funding from Polkadot, actively contributing to the community and building an ecosystem where the story can grow collaboratively, maybe some FRAME dedicate for this. The goal is exciting and ambitious, but I believe Polkadot deserves individuals dedicating time and effort to its development; this project may endure in history.

Author's Identity and Experience: I am Munay, nobody in particular. I work with artists and initiated a project called "nunaproject.art" two years ago, aiming to introduce artists to technology and help them use blockchain for their daily artistic endeavors (craftsmen, painters, poets, musicians). It would be amazing to join forces with Polkadot's network in the future.

Conclusion: I am thrilled to participate in this community. Viva Polkadot! tl: @munaytu. I would be delighted to receive feedback, ideas, and questions.
