Matteo arrived in the small port town of Portofino at dawn. The port of Portofino has retained its wonderful, traditional fishing atmosphere, making it very popular with tourists. Fog hung over the water, and fishermen, encouraging each other, prepared their old boats to go out to sea. In addition, his dream of becoming a sailor was finally coming true — the Naval Academy in Livorno was only 65 nautical miles from Portofino.
The courses at the Naval Academy were expensive, as was a room in a port hostel, so he got a job as a stevedore at the port. Every day, in the morning, he carried boxes of sardines, mackerel, flounder, and sea bass. During breaks between morning and evening unloading, Matteo studied. He read the history of navigation, studied navigation, and listened to lectures on his headphones. Sometimes, he came across video courses on the basics of blockchain technology.
The work was hard, and the young man's body quickly got used to it. His muscles grew, his back broadened, but... his gaze remained as naive and deep as ever. His knowledge contrasted sharply with his appearance, and this did not go unnoticed.
Women, mostly 40+, with tired eyes and a trail of expensive designer perfumes, began to pay attention to him. They came to the port not for mackerel and flounder, but for Matteo. Divorced from multimillionaires and crypto entrepreneurs, they were looking for more than just a young body in bed. They were looking for someone to talk to — someone who listened, understood, didn't ask about the past, and didn't judge.
One evening, such a “conversation” ended unexpectedly—a woman named Melissa transferred cryptocurrency to Matteo. Melissa Metison created his first, his own, crypto wallet. “Matteo, you are worth more than just words,” she said. Matteo didn't understand right away, but he quickly learned. Then there was a second, a third... Each of them held funds — not just for the evenings, but for trust, for not playing a role, but simply being himself.
Over time, Matteo became famous in a very small circle. He was invited to private dinners, where he told stories about the oceans, about navigation, about how ships travel to Stella Polaris. Women listened to him with wide eyes, as if listening to a talented poet. He promised nothing to any of them. He took no more than he was given. But each such dinner left its mark — in his memory and in his wallet.
Despite this busy life, Matteo did not forget why he had come. He didn't create a token, didn't become a crypto industry giant, didn't start a fund. He took exams and learned to navigate ships. Cryptocurrency helped pay for his education, but it didn't change his goal. Matteo simply followed Stella Polaris to his dream—to be at sea.
One day, he gathered all his wallets and transferred the funds to one. And he went on his first real voyage. His story is not about crypto or about women who still remember him only with warm words. It is about choosing to remain true to yourself and follow the North Star to your dream, even when the world offers much easier paths.
