Background: As the price neared a round number, the airdrop group began translating wallet balances into choices about work and life. Sisyphus shared the excitement but still had ordinary expenses to consider; node operators, meanwhile, were waiting for software improvements.
Today: XAI broke USD 1 and reached an intraday high of USD 1.186. On paper, the airdrop's total value approached USD 130 million. Someone in the group shared a resignation-letter template. Sisyphus stared at his wallet all evening; the thought of quitting crossed his mind, but he held it back. That night, node software was updated to version 1.0.77: identity verification moved into the command line, and the challenger's internal alerts were strengthened.
Impact and next steps: He chose to consider the wallet's gains separately from a steady income. For now, he would keep his job and work out a rule for acting on his holdings. For the Night Watchman, the update changed the verification entry point and alerting; he would have to see how the new process worked during subsequent shifts.
