Once, there was a wager in the air—
a noisy little prophecy:
Who would touch 4,000 first $ETH or A-shares?
We scoffed.
We joked.
“A-shares?” we said,
“They’ve been frozen at 3,000 since memory learned to breathe.”
Time, patient and cruel, kept walking.
Now look—
Gold glitters at $5,000,
The Shanghai Composite stands tall at 4,100,
quietly proving the punchlines wrong.
And yet
our pride, our banner,
can’t even find rest above $3,000.
Back then,
we E-guardians laughed out loud,
echoing across timelines.
Today,
we don’t argue.
We don’t mock.
We just lower our voices
and let the silence finish the sentence.
