.....and so it was.

The clock chimed four and the children gathered to watch the games as they played out before their very eyes.

Up, down, in and out, the prices changed and the buyers came and went.

"FOMO" was as rampant as "OMG I want out" and it came to pass that the price was fixed at $0.005 at the close of the fun and games for the week.

The children scurried away and wondered if the 25% change meant the beginning of greater things, perhaps even an announcement to calm the unruly mobs hovering over the News button on their screens.

In the coming hours and days, charts will be studied, volumes counted and "profits" enjoyed as they eagerly await the opening of proceedings on Monday next in the morn.

The dawn of a new week promises much excitement and the deliverance of riches beyond belief to those who believe.

Will those wretched sellers at $0.004 live to regret the day they parted with their bounty, or will they be coveted as the wise ones, those who took a profit and ran?

Only time will tell and we must now await the dawn of a new trading week and the hope of news from far off lands bathed in lithium and promise.
