On a single day, the drumbeat of transactions rose to 2.8 million, a record that speaks not only of volume but of the thrumming hunger of a crowd seeking something beyond the common purse. This surge, a spectacle of appetite, is reported to be up about 125% from the same period last year. Etherscan confirms that active addresses have more than doubled, from roughly 410,000 to over a million by January 15, signaling more than a fleeting fancy; it signals a habit, perhaps even a belief, that this ledger might bear witness to more than dry arithmetic. The people arrive, and one cannot help but wonder what they seek among the digits-bread, glory, or a new creed for their coins. 😂
