The Mystery Box

They shook the box. It was light. They flipped it upside down. Again, nothing. What could it be? Nothing fell out. They passed the box between them like a game of pass the parcel. Still no clues. An address on the side said it had been delivered to a local house. Emptiness. Is that all Stephen had promised? Is that all what was left. Then they spotted an alphanumeric code of 28 characters and a red X written on the inside flap.

What could this be? The emptiness was filling them as well as the box. But that sensation was quickly metamorphing into anticipation. It looked like a random string of letter and numbers. They googled the address and it led to a website called Blockchain Explorer. It was the reference of a Bitcoin wallet that contained 100 Bitcoins. What did that mean? They looked up it's value and it would be worth $100,000.

Then the doorbell rang. And another light box was delivered by the courier.
