Block 02 · bridge lab after the flagship lesson

Sats Market

A modern follow-on to History of Money: trade with sats, test wallet-style decisions, and debrief what digital hard money changes — and what it doesn’t.

Room ATC-214

Ready for in-app testing

Use this after Moneypoly once the room already understands why money emerged. Default mode uses a local game ledger; later it can hand off to a real wallet adapter. It is a bridge lab, not the main workshop front door.

Round 1/6 Mode Solo Players 2

Frame

This is not the first lesson.

Start here only after the barter problem, money emergence, and hard-money comparison are already in the room.

Play

Use sats as the coordination layer.

Buy, counter, skip, save, and swap roles so learners can feel the app-layer tradeoffs around payments and custody.

Debrief + bridge

Name what Bitcoin fixed — and what humans still must do.

Sats remove exact-match barter, but reputation, useful goods, identity, and custody habits still matter. Then bridge back to the flagship story or forward to Block 03/04.

Solo mode is safe: sats move only inside this game ledger unless a real adapter is explicitly injected.

What did sats fix?

Pairing was still imperfect, but money removed the need for both people to want each other’s exact goods.

What did identity fix?

Profiles and reputation made it safer to buy a service from someone you just met.

What did cold storage teach?

Saving protects future purchasing power, but locked savings cannot solve every immediate need.

Explain

Make the lesson explicit.

Use this room to restate the core message: better money lowers coordination costs, but it does not eliminate trust, judgment, or the need to produce real value.

Bridge back

Reconnect to the flagship lesson.

If learners need the full narrative again, return to History of Money and compare barter, commodity money, fiat, and Bitcoin in one arc.

Bridge forward

Keep the curriculum moving.

After this lab, the cleanest next step is usually Block 03: broken money, inflation, and purchasing power.
