Last night, my "zeroed-out" account moved

Almost midnight, my phone popped up a notification: $ORDI increased by 40%.

My first reaction was that the app was broken. I haven't opened this coin in nearly a year.

When inscriptions were hot in 2023, a friend stayed up all night to get on the whitelist, with thousands of ORDI costing almost nothing. Later it rose to $90, and he paid off his hometown mortgage. Then it fell to $2, a 97% drop. No one in the group mentioned the words "inscriptions" anymore.

I also followed a bit, lost so much that I was too lazy to sell, just left it in my wallet as a keepsake—like that broken-screen phone deep in the drawer, I know it's there, but never thought it could turn on again.

But last night, it powered on.

On April 16, ORDI jumped from $2.55 to $5.23, doubling. But it didn't rise slowly—short positions were liquidated for $3.31 million in 24 hours, with a 10:1 long-to-short ratio at one point. Those short sellers got crushed by rising candles, burying themselves.

$ORDI has no project team, no VC backing; all 21 million tokens were minted by the community itself. What is it worth? Just worth "a group of people still believe in it."

My friend sent a message: "Did you see that?"
