A message from the past was found on the shore, which rose in price by 2,667 ETH in a day and became a message to the future. This stirred up social media.
A strange find was discovered on the ocean shore: a glass bottle washed ashore by the waves contained a neatly folded piece of paper. The news of a dark glass bottle containing a note inside, found on the seashore, quickly stirred up all social media. The piece of paper in the bottle, which had been travelling across the ocean for many years, turned out to be more than just a note.
It was about two people in love, their happiness and their place under the sun on the great planet Earth. The authors of the message seemed to want to leave something important behind: a message to future generations or a call to rethink the fleeting conditions of life in which we live. This moment marked the beginning of an unusual story that stirred the imagination of local residents and travellers alike, and at the same time gave rise to numerous speculations.
So, this story began 13 years ago, on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. In September 2012, a young couple from Canada had a romantic date on Bell Island in Newfoundland. Bell Island is part of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, and in fact, it is not a large island, although it is the largest of the islands in the bay.
Anita and Brad wrote a short message, put it in a wine bottle and threw it into the waters of the Atlantic. The note, which was hidden in a dark glass bottle, corked and thrown into the ocean, described how they met.
‘A one-day trip to Bell Island. Tonight we enjoyed this bottle of wine and each other on the shore of this beautiful island.’ The text also included a request for whoever found the bottle to contact the couple at the phone number provided in the note.
Thirteen years later, in July 2025, another young couple discovered the bottle with the note in Scraggan Bay (County Kerry). The dark glass bottle was half-submerged in seaweed, sand and shells at the tide line.
When Kate and John Gay cleaned the find of seaweed and sand, they decided to uncork it and see what was inside. After some simple manipulation with the cork, they found a piece of paper inside. After reading the note, they decided to find out if Anita and Brad were still together. Thanks to posts on Instagram and Facebook, they managed to track down the authors of this unusually romantic message. It turned out that Anita and Brad got married in 2016.
To continue the steady flow of miracles and not interrupt the threads of fate, Kate and John Gay decided to join this event, which was already becoming a tradition. Kate wrote a short text on a page from a notebook. John wanted to put a physical crypto wallet in the bottle, but later changed his mind. It was impossible to push the cold wallet with a QR code through the narrow opening of the bottle neck. Therefore, he simply put a printed copy with the QR code and instructions he had written himself into the bottle. In an explanatory note, he indicated that the specified account held 2.667 ETH, which is 10,000 US dollars or 9996.9 USDT at the current exchange rate.
After Kate and John added their notes to those of their predecessors from 2012, they sealed the bottle tightly and carefully threw it into the water. After all, someday in the distant future, some lucky couple would find this message.
Subsequently, discussions about the ethical side of this message began to take on a public character: does a random person who finds this little treasure have the right to spend it? Will they add something of their own, cork it and throw it into the ocean? But it is certain that this coincidence of patterns and accidents is part of a broader message. It was in this strange way that two eras collided — the romance of the analogue century and the code of the digital century.
