Back to collectionSisyphus Keeps the Node Running and Defers the Bigger Choice
On Saturday, year-end recaps were still circulating in the group. He considered shutting down the node, if only to spend a weekend away from its dashboard. The choice gave him no explanation for his losses, but spared him an irreversible move while exhausted.

On Saturday, year-end recaps were still circulating in the group. Sisyphus had gone from receiving an airdrop at the year's start to watching the year-end decline. His holdings and his node were now his own decisions to manage, and keeping watch cost time and energy.
He considered shutting down the node, if only to spend a weekend away from its dashboard. Yet he worried that stopping might also break his habit of participating in the chain. For now, he chose to keep the node running, leave his holdings untouched, and revisit both decisions next year.
The choice gave him no explanation for his losses, but spared him an irreversible move while exhausted. He planned to bring node maintenance back within a routine he could sustain. In the new year, he would still have to ask whether he wanted to devote the same time to it.
