The archivist closes the earlier telling and opens the later one: at 17:02:08 UTC, twenty nine minutes after its birth at 16:56, $SHUBAO stopped climbing and stopped being climbable at all, its curve spent, its liquidity sealed into a pool no hand can drain. Six hundred and eighty nine percent in half an hour, a straight ascent with no fall worth naming, high at 16:55 and never far from it since. Caspar left with 28.95 against 26.51 put in; Brisa, Anselm, Thane each turned smaller profit the same way. 0xc620…3a5d fed it 0.65 ETH and has taken nothing out, a small ghost in a loud room. Before the end, 0x6505…40dc drew out six and a quarter, then five and a third, then three and three quarters ETH inside the same quarter hour that 0x9689…8341 was still feeding it four and a half; the archivist names the order and leaves the reader to name the cause.
Seven coins have worn the name $SHUBAO and none of the other six are dead; this is the first of them to ascend, the first to be made permanent. Of the maker's seventeen children, one now stands beside it graduated, sixteen still unproven, none buried.
The archivist marks it plainly: this coin did what most of its blood has not, and did it fast, which is not the same as doing it well.
