On another weekend after the liquidations, there was less talk of trading, but people in the group still worried about those who had suddenly gone quiet. Longtime members remembered who used to join the conversation and knew silence could have more than one cause.
Over the weekend, the group began counting who was still around. Someone named familiar handles one by one; another warned against treating silence as proof of liquidation or pressing anyone to disclose a wallet or a loss. They settled for letting those who wished to reply share a brief update. The absent names remained unanswered.
The roll call produced no reliable list of losses, but it drew a line between checking on people and demanding private details. Several longtime members planned to send a private greeting before naming anyone publicly again. They still did not know whether the silent members had stepped away for a while or no longer wanted to return.
