And the jury chose the summary submitted by @diebitch.

Congratulations, @diebitch

In cell block number 1022, a mutiny was brewing. The people that had been chained to the block had had enough. Dominique Moreaux had started the domino effect. He wanted to see Claude, his partner. They had gotten married on that fateful day when Dominique had been pursued to crimes against the blockchain regime. It is hard for a revolutionary to love someone and also love a cause. The dictatorship that tracked everything and put it on a public ledger-Blockchain. The powerful people in the world had resisted it but they found a way to use the system to their advantage.
