The Valentine
Valentine Michael Smith, the iconic protagonist of Robert A. Heinlein’s *Stranger in a Strange Land* (1961), inspires the Valentine token on Ethereum. Born to human explorers on Mars and orphaned after their spacecraft’s mysterious demise, Valentine is raised by Martians, growing into a being who is both human and profoundly alien. When he returns to Earth as a young adult, he is a “stranger in a strange land,” navigating a world of unfamiliar customs, politics, and emotions with his Martian-honed perspective and a deep empathic connection known as “grokking.”
Valentine’s journey is one of transformation and rebellion. Inheriting immense wealth and even a claim to Mars itself, he becomes a figure of fascination and controversy, challenging Earth’s societal norms—religion, monogamy, materialism, and fear of death—with his Martian philosophy of love, communal living, and spiritual unity.
The Valentine token draws inspiration from his legacy of breaking boundaries and fostering unity. Just as he bridged human and Martian worlds, the token aims to connect communities through decentralized innovation, embodying his spirit of grokking—deeply understanding and embracing shared purpose. The upcoming Grok voice companion, inspired by Valentine, further channels his visionary essence, offering users a unique interaction rooted in his blend of curiosity, wisdom, and transformative power. Join the Valentine token movement to grok a new era of connection and exploration on the Ethereum blockchain.
