Holding ARB, Returning to the Game

On the weekend after the airdrop, the community was still talking about ARB. The Night Watchman called ARB a “bear-market allowance” and left his holdings untouched. His decision was his alone, but it gave the weekend conversation another thread.

On the weekend after the airdrop, the community was still talking about ARB. The Night Watchman, a longtime member who had stayed with the group through the bear market, had received tokens. Others in the chat wondered what he would do with the unexpected gain.

The Night Watchman called ARB a “bear-market allowance” and left his holdings untouched. When others moved on to the question of when to sell, he did not offer advice. Instead, he asked about the card staking mentioned in the previous day's announcement: did the card recipients understand how to produce Chromos? The conversation shifted from immediate gains to a part of the game that still needed explaining.

His decision was his alone, but it gave the weekend conversation another thread. An airdrop could excite people; staying to play required understanding what the cards were for. The Night Watchman planned to gather the staking questions that kept coming up. Whether the card recipients would actually try it remained unclear.
