The Time Machine

In a small shabby shack on the outskirts of the City lives a man named Ethan. He struggles to make ends meet, and spends his days repairing broken electronics for a meager fee. One day, while going through a pile of discarded electronic boxes, he is interested in taking them home.
When he checks that they contain piles of magazines, a notebook and a strange-looking device. The Device shaped like a radio alarm with a small display and 3 buttons that say Turn on, Start and one button that doesn't say anything. At the bottom of the tool is written "Time machine".

Ethan examined the time machine carefully. His eyes turned to a Notebook which contained important dates with small notes which Ethan did not know what it meant, he reopened the Notebook from the beginning so that it was easy to understand the context. The initial note contained an Instruction about a strange device. After read the instructions there he pressed the turn on button on the device.

When The Machine Turned On, an Orb-shaped Hologram appears. Skeptical at first now he becomes interested, one thought crossed his mind if this is really a time machine? Read back the instructions on the notebook asking him to fill in the specific time of January 1, 2009 and the Start button.

A Hologram Ball reappeared covering Ethan's body and spinning rapidly. When Ethan came out of the hologram ball, he found himself in a world quite different from what he was familiar with. It turned out that he was back in 2009, the instructions on the notebook told Ethan to learn Cryptocurrency, Blockchain and Bitcoin which had just been introduced.

With his limited savings, Ethan started investing in this new digital currency. He scanned online forums, learned about mining, and slowly start collecting a large amount of Bitcoins. All that he did by following the instructions on the notebook which is very accurate.

Years passed, and Ethan witnessed the development of the cryptocurrency market. The value of Bitcoin skyrocketed, making him a rich man in no time. With his wealth he expanded his investment into other promising cryptocurrencies.

He became a trailblazer with a smart and unexpected decision that multiplied his fortune many times over. All thanks to piles of old magazines and instructions from the Notebook. However, Ethan's wealth doesn't change him completely. Despite his wealth, he remains humble and empathetic, remembering his past hardships. He uses his wealth to support charitable causes, support his community, and advance technological developments, participating in saving the environment and the earth.

Over the years, Ethan's influence grew, and he became a prominent figure in the world of finance and technology. His story from hard times to success, coupled with his efforts in philanthropy, has inspired many people.

Ethan looks back at the time machine he found, wondering if this is enough for him to use this time machine, with all the influence and wealth he already has. He has done all the instructions but there is one instruction that he has not done yet. All because the writing on the instructions is unclear and faded but related to the mysterious button on the time machine.

Over the Curiosity, made him dare to press the button. The tool reacted to bring up a large ball which then made a loud banging sound. A loud banging sound startled Ethan who woke up from his beautiful dream. (R.O)
