Bitcoin had made a new high while XAI failed to follow, and the narrator had written “divergence” the day before. The Night Watchman was more concerned with the practical cost of claiming node rewards. As market sentiment wavered, an underlying network upgrade changed that routine expense.
XAI fell to USD 1.35. After the parent chain completed the Cancun upgrade, claim fees dropped overnight to USD 0.03 or less. For once, the narrator posted an announcement devoted solely to this good news. In the group, some called it a chance to buy, while others quietly canceled their orders.
Lower fees gave operators who claimed rewards often some room to breathe, but holders still disagreed about the price. The Night Watchman planned to recalculate his operating costs using the new fees, while the narrator recorded the two reactions side by side. Whether the lower costs would remain steady in daily use still needed watching.
