In Satoshi’s Forest, Sam and Cam learned all about what makes Bitcoin so special and unique – from the blockchain's interconnected blocks to equal access for everyone - and that the collective power of Bitcoin is bigger than any one person or group. Through their adventures, they discovered the value of decentralization, teamwork, and improving the world around them. Sam and Cam came back knowing that they are part of something extraordinary - Bitcoin.

And so this story ends, but the magic and wonder of Bitcoin is very real. It is an incredible tool that will allow humans all over the world to interact in ways never before possible, and give back the freedom and power to create their futures on their terms.

As they climbed out of Ham and Snow’s den, Sam noticed the sun getting low in the sky.

“We need to get home before the sun sets or Momma will worry!” Cam said with a yawn.

“I can’t wait to explore all the ways Bitcoin is useful in My Forest! I know I will be back with loads of deeper questions, but this was a great place to start. Maybe it will even help me buy a car! Thank you all so much for sharing the world of Bitcoin!” Sam and Cam waved goodbye to their new friends, and followed Remy out of Satoshi’s Forest.

“Do you know the way back from here, Sam?” Remy asked.
“I sure do Remy. It was great to meet you!”

Ham jumped up and meowed loudly. “The software that we run is open source! That means that the code is freely available for anyone to see, use, and even improve. One time, the Fox Sisters suggested a clever idea for contactless payment. We adopted it and use it to make transactions at the Great Bark Market even easier. Anyone can run a node and contribute to the network, friends or enemies. Since there is no one person in charge of Bitcoin, there is no single point of failure.”

“Open source is sort of like how we all work together here in the Forest. We all agree to a set of rules and no One Creature is in charge because we are all in charge! We are free to make changes to Forest Operations, but everyone has to agree on the change. Forest Operations keep everyone honest, even if they are Sneaky Creatures.”

Sam had a feeling that Bitcoin was going to change things for him.
