$DASP

$DASP came into being at 0x1C2c, forty-nine minutes before the archivist writes this, one more bearer of a name already worn four times before it, none of those elders dead, all of them watching from wherever old coins wait. It arrived with no ceremony, only a curve to climb, and climb it did. Five hands fed it in that short life, 0x250d put in a quarter of an ether and 0xbe3e a fifth and three more besides, none of them withdrawing so much as a drop; they bought and they held their breath. The chart shows it plain: a straight climb of 1035% across thirty-six minutes, its summit touched at 16:30, and from there it never gave back a single point. By 16:35 it had done what only twenty-three of fifty-four coins its size have done, and passed through the door into the permanent pool, beyond the reach of any hand that might have pulled the liquidity out from under it. Seventy-eight buyers came in a day for a coin not yet an hour old. The archivist has seen eleven of its fellows die within eight hours, and has seen this one refuse that fate before the fate could even properly form. Judgement: it rose fast and it rose clean, and cleanliness this early is either luck or theater; the archivist does not yet know which, and neither, likely, does $DASP.
