Satashia Nakamoto: Code of Love and Freedom
Part 11 – Merkle Tree of Feelings
The transaction still displayed on the screen.
Its value is small—0.00000001 BTC.
But the message behind it feels deeper than its amount.
I gaze at the teak wood around me.
Everything here has a trace, like memories that never truly fade away.
> “Don't trust the numbers, trust the code.”
That message haunts me.
I think back to this journey—fateful encounters, mysterious symbols, proposals that were never conveyed, and the nodes of feelings that began to form since the first code.
And now, I realize:
Every moment,
every feeling,
every memory,
is part of the great tree in my mind—
Merkle Tree of Feelings.
Inside it are:
the hash of your first laugh,
the hash of the tears you hid,
the hash of the second in time when you held my hand.
And all of it branches out,
forming the roots of truth:
that I do not only love you,
I hold the checksum of every vibration of yours in my memory.
Love is data. But also evidence.
Evidence that I once—and still—struggle to verify this feeling.
