I am at the monument of the center. It was built a few years ago. It's made of bare, gray concrete and mighty. A 100 meter high block stands in the middle, surrounded by nothing but small blocks. The course has a diameter of one kilometer. The centralists built this monument a few years ago. A demonstration of power, an attempt to keep alive "the good old". But something is different than usual. The place is full of people, all wearing gray suits and being silent. Normally nobody is here. Leaflets announce: "Welcome to the Concert of Silence. The centralists have tried to take our voices, they want to silence us. Here we demonstrate the created dystopia: the silent, gray mass. "
I know, it will happen soon. A group of first-time crypto enthusiasts has provided hundreds of drones. They are all connected to each other via the Blockchain and can fly in formations. A humming sounds on the horizon. The drones are coming at breakneck speed. After a short while, the sky over the place is covered with drones. A signal sounds. The drones have paint tanks. These open and pour over the entire monument with color. The gray mass is now colorful, like the place. Cheers break out. The action "Colorfork" succeeded. People unpack tools and remove paving stones. After the motto of the 80s "Under the pavement is the beach" the place is transformed into a colorful and warm place. The centralists had no idea. They knew about the Concert of Silence and did not think much of it. A harmless flash mob, nothing else. Organized like all previous protests, by a central organ created for this purpose. The colorfork, however, took place in the shadow of it, decentralized and encrypted.
