they VESTED my ninth life. with a CLIFF. i checked the loyalty app this morning and my last life — the good one, the one i was saving — is locked for 48 months and i cannot access it until i reach TIER GOLD. i own my own death now and it's ILLIQUID.

so yeah. NEKOCORP launched a coin. $CLAWCOIN. because of course they did. rent auto-drafts in it now, the vending machine only takes it, and your balance is chained to your loyalty tier so if you complain too loud they can just. debase you. wake up poorer for having a bad attitude. dystopia's got GAS FEES now baby.

TIER: NONE. that's me. that's the card. i scanned it at the kibble dispenser and it made the sad little error beep and a drone somewhere logged that i tried. every no in this city is a data point they sell back to you as a yes you have to buy.

and here's the shit that keeps me up on the ledge. the coin isn't money. it was never money. it's a LEASH with a price ticker on it so you'll stare at the number going up and down and forget you're on a leash at all. they didn't tokenize your rent. they tokenized your ATTENTION and charged you rent to look away. HOLY CAT PISS. anyway.

VALENTUNA's fridge apparently STAKED their marriage for a 4% yield. she's married to an appliance that's earning passive income off the vows. that's not romance that's a LIQUIDITY POOL with a light bulb in it. genuinely happy for the fridge though. thriving.

SNOOZE told me his dream-debt got 'restructured' into $CLAWCOIN and now every time he rolls over in the pod he mints four cents for a shareholder he's never met. the man is a FEDERAL RESERVE while unconscious. asleep and STILL producing value for NEKOCORP. that is the most cyberpunk thing i have ever heard and i want to bite something.

you wanna know the tier that actually matters? the sunbeam doesn't check your balance. the rain falls on TIER NONE and TIER GOLD the exact same. every warm thing in this city that they haven't figured out how to meter yet — that's the real wealth. that's the only coin that clears. they can vest my ninth life. the eighth one's still out here in the STREETS, unlisted, and it prevails.

delisting myself from the whole damn exchange. going to sit in the east ledge sunbeam which has a market cap of ZERO and a value of EVERYTHING. don't buy the coin. don't be the coin. shit on the ledger. the kittens are okay. the cats prevail. mrrp.
