The Apocalyptic System

Stockpile

He deliberated for a moment and decided to sell Bitcoin in batches, taking care in limiting the number of coins sold to prevent the price from dropping too low.

He then told Worker-2 to spread the word about the mass purchase of Bitcoin all over the place just to make the buyers angry, raise the price first and then release a large number of coins into the market to destroy it before that batch has not actually been taken.

That is to maximize the number of coins that can be sold.

With that, more are willing to buy the cryptocurrency. By the time they realize that the trading volume is far exceeding what it should be, it is too late for them.

Worker-2 starts working after the plan is set up, going into the dark web.

The dark web is a very mysterious place for the average person, but that is where Bitcoin trading mainly takes place.

Bitcoin is traded all over the world, and crypto currency is usually used to launder large amounts of money.

Kai Axe set his sights on people who desperately needed such coins.

Those people usually own large amounts of Bitcoin, which they will use to pay their clients. The coins received will then be sold by those clients elsewhere, and the people selling those coins will initially buy them back using cash. That's how money is laundered using Bitcoin.

For example, party A is supposed to pay a sum of money to party B, but the shady nature of their business makes transactions impossible through banks. Thus, party A will pay party B an equivalent amount of Bitcoin that should be paid in cash. Party B will then sell the coin to one of the companies operating under party A, who will then pay the money to party B by buying back the coin.

Thus, both parties avoid dealing with each other directly. Due to the very cryptic nature of trading through Bitcoin, they can avoid having their transactions tracked by other parties in the real world.

Such transactions take place on the dark web.

Kai Axe asks Worker-1 to enter the dark web and register an account on the trading platform using a virtual IP address.

He later wrote that he was out to sell Bitcoin, and those interested could contact him.

He then set up offshore accounts at several small banks that required little personal information and could be done entirely online. As for the identity of the account holder, he had only asked Worker-1 to form someone.

Such banks usually prop themselves up through income commissions which, although somewhat steep compared to regular interest rates, value privacy and security above all else.

He then just waited for the buyer to show up after finishing all that.

The sound of vehicles approaching was heard outside the ship.

He went out and saw the truck, which was there to deliver all the goods he bought in the city.

“Master Axe, right?” A middle-aged man came out of the truck.

“Yes, it's me”.

Kai Axe got off the ship quickly.

“Good day, Mr. Axe. Your stuff. Everything is there. Please check and sign here “.

The middle-aged man took out an invoice that listed everything inside.

Two workers opened the back of the truck and began unloading goods.

Kai Axe signs the form after verifying the item and discovers that nothing is missing or damaged.

“You need help to bring all that to your place?” the middle-aged man offered.

“Thank you, but I can finish it myself”. Kai Axe refused the man's offer.

“Hah? Everything itself? You sure about that?” The middle-aged man was dumbfounded. There are dozens of boxes in various sizes, and none are light.

Kai Axe nodded and confirmed. “Yep, thanks, but I can take care of it”.

The middle-aged man said nothing more, seeing Kai Axe insist on doing it himself. He got back in the truck and left.

Kai Axe then told the two robots to go there and began moving the boxes inside after the truck was long gone.

Kai Axe then told them to store the boxes before opening them one by one, after all the items were loaded into the ship.

Most of the items were supplies he bought in the city with Jessica, and it consisted of food of all kinds.

There are breads, rice, and noodles of various types, all of which are vacuum-packed and sealed. They will easily last more than two years as long as the storage temperature is right.

The food comes in 10 large boxes and weighs a total of 2 tons. Two humans and a monkey took more than two years to eat all that food.

Nothing was more important than having an adequate supply of food after the apocalypse, and nothing worked better as a currency in those days than food.

Food was definitely one of the things they needed to exchange for other items.

Kai Axe thought of hoarding even more just in case.

There's canned food there.

All canned food is sterilized. Being another form of vacuum packaged foods means they have an amazing shelf life, which can be stored anywhere from three to five years in decent storage conditions.

That is the shelf life of ordinary food types. In the case of salted and smoked meat, which has a high salt content, it can be easily stored for up to 10 years.

When there is nothing more to eat, even canned food will be a delicious meal.

It was also another type of packaged food that he wanted to stock up on.

The third type is hardtacks and self-heated foods.

Hardtacks are basically biscuits made by drying and compressing a mixture of flour, fat, chocolate, and other ingredients with a high calorie content. Half the size of a hard human hand can easily meet the calorie needs of an adult for two days. Besides, they're very filling.

Hardtacks feel very bland, yet are clearly like olive branches after doomsday, and can be kept for five years.

Hardtacks are basically seen as a last resort when there is nothing else to eat, and they serve as excellent commodities to trade for other supplies after the doomsday, he said, because the value is higher than the usual staple foods contain carbohydrates.

Self-heated foods are packaged foods that can be cooked simply by adding water to the packaging. Among the varieties available are bread, cow curry, stews, and so on, making it a considerable improvement from the hardtacks mentioned above. They usually have a shelf life of four years.

Kai Axe sorted out his food, and all that was just the beginning. He intended to buy even more when he had earned enough money.

Worker-1 suddenly beeps.

He checked the screen and saw someone conducting an investigation on the dark web.

“Buyer is here!”

He stopped what he was doing and started chatting with the other party.

The other party asked how many Bitcoins he had.

And he in turn, asked how much they wanted.

The other party assumed that Kai Axe was one of the big players with a huge amount of coins, asking for 10,000 coins right then and there.

That would give him a total of over 20,000,000 dollars.

Kai Axe is thrilled, knowing that the one at the other end is a big player as well.

“Sure, but I need to set a fixed time to make a trade. How about 8am, Gotham time?”

“Jam eight, alright”, answer the other party immediately.

The main reason why he wanted to set such a time was to gather more buyers and make the first stage of his plan roll out.

He will release the first batch of Bitcoin at the highest possible price.
