They embed a conspiracy and messianic story in the Bitcoin network

The Mempool Block Explorer developer known as Mononaut reported on July 10 an unusual activity in the Bitcoin Network: a person is leaving messages of a religious nature in transactions through Op_return.

Between any of those messages, one of them said: “This was Satan’s domain before Eden”as seen in the following image:

The text embedded in that specific transaction refers to the “mastery of Satan before Eden”, a phrase that Evokes theological interpretations.

This notion is linked to the ideas of the Apologist Christian Justino Mártir, who in the second century DC first associated the snake of the Eden Garden with Satan, a perspective that finds support in the book of Revelation 12: 7 of the Bible.

After an analysis, the developer managed to recompose the full message from 9,885 op_returns separate revealing and storing content In a Github repository.

In the following image you can see part of the text:

The text, which appears to be original and not extracted from any literature, is a very intense material, with conspiracy and messianic tones, mixed with religious references and concrete accusations against political and governmental figures, such as Joe Biden and Michael Regan, former presidents of the United States.

His style is clearly apocalyptic, combined with environmental and regulatory conspiracy theories. The rhetoric is aggressive: the emitter proclaims a divine instrument, with justification of symbolic and personal violence against several individuals and entities.

According to Mononaut’s observations, the person introduced into the Mempool (the area where pending confirmation transactions accumulate) an amount of data equivalent to one or two blocksusing opcode op_return at a cost of 5 satoshis per virtual byte.

The developer details that these strange data date back to an initial transaction, suggesting that someone is spending around $ 22,000 To immortalize in the network archive a text of a religious nature.

Interestingly, he points out that this process would have been at least “four times cheaper” if an inscription had been chosen, a more efficient alternative to store information.

The message, fragmented in thousands of transactions, requires considerable technical and financial effort, which suggests a deliberate intention to preserve this narration in the chain permanently.

OP_RETURN is a function designed in the bitcoin protocol to allow the inclusion of up to 80 arbitrary data bytes in a transaction (the limit of those data depends on each bitcoin client).

Although transactions with op_return are valid, the data they contain do not affect the balance of Bitcoin and are considered non -spending, which makes them a Unique tool for non -financial purposes.

In such a way, this phenomenon illustrates a little explored intersection between the cryptocurrency ecosystem and the theological expression, where the Bitcoin immutability It is used as a means to leave a lasting record.
