September Closes at $0.040 Without a Verdict

On September’s last day, the Night Watchman was still tending his node, but it was hard to sustain a full discussion in the group. September closed at $0.040. The month-end put a period on the record, but offered no answer about the price or the project.

On September’s last day, the Night Watchman was still tending his node, but it was hard to sustain a full discussion in the group. Low prices and repeated teasers had left members hopeful about the next month yet reluctant to make a bet on it.

September closed at $0.040. The Night Watchman started to write, “At least it held four cents,” then deleted the line: a month-end price said little about what came next. Instead, he separated alerts that needed attention during node duty from routine questions and prepared to work through the backlog in the new month.

The month-end put a period on the record, but offered no answer about the price or the project. The Night Watchman at least had an order for handling messages next month. Group discussion still needed something more concrete to move forward; nobody then knew how deep October would go.
