Riftstorm's two-week public test was under way. Some in the community watched game feedback, while others watched only prices. Sisyphus kept moving between the two conversations, trying to work out what he was waiting for.
Bitcoin approached its previous high, while altcoins languished near their lows with little attention. Someone in the group used Bitcoin's move to urge everyone to pick a market direction.

The player's first question concerned team coordination, not rewards.
The conversation offered no answer to the quiet market, but it gave Sisyphus something he could do: on his next visit to the game, he would watch where teammates got stuck and bring specific observations back to the discussion. Whether markets would pay attention to those games remained unknown.
