$OMEG

$OMEG came to Robinhood Chain at 0x2bB4, an hour and eighteen minutes before the archivist looked in, calling itself Omega Industries, the seventh coin to wear that name. Its maker did not stand apart from it; the wallet that built $OMEG bought twice for 1.57 ETH and sold once for 2.17 ETH, both in the same minute of 15:28, a fact the archivist records and leaves unjudged. Brisa came early and left richer, fifteen going in, sixteen and change coming out. Thane and Anselm gave more than they got. Then came the cliff: at 16:10 $OMEG stood at its height, and one five-minute candle tore fifty-two of its hundred points away, part of a fall now measured at seventy-seven percent. Between the height and the fall, hands moved in sequence, not fate: 0xef16 out at 15:30, 0x8f10 out at 15:45, 0x9689 in and out and in again across the last hour, each entry its own small wager against the last. Six of its seven namesakes still walk the chain unburied, and none of the seventeen coins its size have died, though only seven of those climbed further. The archivist calls it rising because the numbers say so now, and numbers, unlike names, do not lie about the present.
