This story needs more development — even if it’s short and to the point, it’s full of holes and unanswered questions. Why wouldn’t the thieves target those without money? In a situation where the currency is extremely weak, it doesn’t matter how big your pile is — goods are much more interesting and valuable.
A space like the one described, if not well thought out, ends up being more of a communist commune than a citadel of sovereign individuals.
And please, don’t use AI-generated illustrations.
Thanks for your feedback but I respectfully disagree with a couple of your points like the communist commune. Why would that be the default without more detail? The audience is for Bitcoiners so not all concepts are explained for beginners but agree it would have to be of expanded further out. Restricted word count certainly makes that a more difficult challenge but will try to add more details for the next story.
I also like the AI generated images and not much of an artist so will save omitting it or putting another stock image everyone’s seen before.

If you, the writer, are asking, it's because you don't even know what you wrote. I don't assume who the audience is; that's lazy. If it's not written down, each reader will assume what you assume.
Quickly, he contributed his engineering skills, Leila established educational programs, Nadia stepped into governance roles, and Karim dove into building secure digital infrastructure.
A community of people in the middle of nowhere, happy and singing a beautiful song, where each person has a task within a community, doesn't seem sovereign and individual to me, as you describe. Before you say it, this can exist within a citadel, especially since sovereignty has nothing to do with individual isolation, but you mentioned typical tasks of a community organized in a statistic manner.
And AI art is lazy and empty as work. It's better to use images made by artists, even if they've already been used. Yours isn't unique because it was created by anyone, much less by you.

AI art is design is used by artists to expand their art and is part of the future art form that suits the theme of my stories.
I disagree that you shouldn’t have a plan for writing for a specific audience. Also I’m not sure who is on SN who isn’t a bitcoiner and certainly these fictional stories shouldn’t be a source of truth for them to understand key concepts that’s what white papers, non-fiction Bitcoin books, etc are for.
