Introduction

The inside shows a misted cityscape of ancient and modern architecture by Leee Black Childers.

Destroyed

This was once a thriving city, but now there is no life here, no birds sing, no flowers grow, and every tree is dead. At various council meetings, the money from taxes was always "invested", never spent on the infrastructure of the city, and the same was true all over the nation.

Water could not be drunk, and the air could not be breathed and eventually the people died, but they had invested a lot of money.

But the bank machines that held the money and added the interest eventually succumbed to the toxic atmosphere, and they too died, and the investments with them.

All the gold, money, and bitcoin decayed into dust, following the physical forms of its worshippers.

Money;s time as the new God had passed.
