The Ballad of the Young Bull

The Ballad of the Young Bull

Book one, part 1

Life is a circle. This old adage really applies to everything. From the universe to the quantum world, everything is part of a larger plan that in turn is only a brick of a larger one and so on, all of them important, necessary and sometimes dispensable at the necessary moment.

Our story speaks of the Bear and Bull market, an absolutely violent struggle between two antagonistic and contrary crypto concepts, two sides of the same coin, both necessary and providing balance. Different current actors give life to the characters in our story, where the author, Arista 2099, does what he knows how to do best, creating characters and new mythologies, giving birth through the mixture of collage and digital painting, the story of life and death of a hero of our NFT and crypto world, the Young Bull, avatar and personification of the long-awaited and long-awaited Bullmarket.

It begins at the end of the last cycle, with the death of the previous BULL, assisted by relevant characters from the previous bullish cycle. He is killed by a sniper's shot, a coup de grace carried out by the famous cryptocurrency exchange (chapter 0) entering fully into the crypto winter.

In chapter 1, the angel sent by the god announces to the mother the soon coming of the new hero, renewing the promise of the coming of the bullish cycle. The story continues with chapters 2 and 3, Birth and The killing of the innocent (will be published in a future drop) and ends with chapter 4 Flight into Egypt, where the Toro family flees, leaving their home aboard a Ford Mustang path of uncertainty and hope. With J. Wick style. This is not a story of peace and other cheeks 😊😊😊
