You hold a carefully edited version of your life in your pocket. A gallery of your best moments, where the bad days can be deleted with a tap.

Now, imagine a world where you can’t hit delete. Where storage is so cheap that everything is recorded, and a public, decentralized ledger ensures that certain truths can never be erased. This creates a fascinating paradox. A perfect, unchangeable record is a powerful tool for justice. But what if the proof you need to expose a crime is forever tied to your own ugliest moment? Would you publish it to a permanent archive, knowing you could never take it back?

This is a story built to explore that exact dilemma. A thought experiment about the price of a world that refuses to forget.

This is Nine Minutes, Anchored.
