With the legal case and cross-chain plan moving ahead, the group was drawn back to the price. He reduced the quote page to a corner of the screen. The date gave that loss a history and reminded him that a higher quote was different from his own cost basis.

With the legal case and cross-chain plan moving ahead, the group was drawn back to the price. The Night Watchman, a longtime XAI holder, opened his old holdings sheet to place the day's rise alongside the date when he had bought.
He reduced the quote page to a corner of the screen. XAI was quoted at $0.007968, up 4.3% from the previous close. He added a date beneath the cost column but left its red figure unchanged. When he widened the window, the narrator could finally see the purchase year at the right. Asked in the group whether he had broken even, he did not use one day's gain to answer for the whole holding period.
The date gave that loss a history and reminded him that a higher quote was different from his own cost basis. He decided to include the purchase year the next time he discussed his holdings, so new members would not hear a daily move as an older holder's return. The sheet still could not say when he would break even.
