At thirty-six minutes old, $MILKDRAGONNA passed through the last gate of its curve and into the permanent pool, where no hand can drain what it has built. The archivist marks seventeen thirty-one on the thirteenth as the hour its liquidity became stone. It climbed straight to get there, seventy-eight percent across forty-two minutes, no real retreat, its high at 17:30 arriving just before the gate itself, as if it knew where it was going. Two hundred fifty-six buyers came through in a day that had not yet finished being a day. Caspar left with a sliver more than he brought, 2.73 against 2.71, the smallest of victories. Thane and Anselm both paid small tolls, ETH shaved from their stakes like wax from a candle. Corben and Draive put in 0.42 and 0.35 and have taken out nothing, their coins still standing in the house, for now. Before all this, 0x6505 rehearsed the same motion three times in the false dawn before birth, in and out, in and out, and the null address laid its own small weight down like a mourner early to a funeral that did not happen. Of sixty-seven coins that reached this size before it, twenty-nine graduated as this one has; the other name-bearers before it never died at all. The archivist calls this luck holding its breath, not luck spent.
