Made-up game. Real money rules.
The players, the host and the coin are fiction. The way the money moves isn't. Here's every rule so far and the real thing it's based on.
The game, as the host set it up
- 100 players, $100,000 each, in $LAST, a coin nobody's heard of.
- Anyone can sell, any time, and keep what their coins are worth right then. Selling means you're out.
- Every sale makes everyone else poorer. All the coins share one pot, so each sale drops the price for everyone still holding.
- Whoever is still holding on Day 30 wins the $30,000,000 in the prize wallet.
Rule cards
A new rule card shows up when the story hits a real way money moves. One so far.
There's no bank behind $LAST, only one shared pot. When Player 37 sold, his $99,010 came out of that pot, so every coin still in it is worth a little less. Your bag went from $100,000 to $98,030 because of a sale you had nothing to do with.
The real facts in the story
Every sale moves the price
$LAST trades like a real crypto pool: coins in the pot times dollars in the pot always equals the same number (x × y = k). Sell into it and the price drops for everyone. Twelve sales took the pot from $10 million to about $8.9 million.
The math, step by step Seen in Part 1Every crypto wallet is public
On most blockchains anyone can look up any wallet's balance and every transaction it has made, with no login. That's how you can see the $30 million prize wallet, and how everyone can see who sells.
How to look a wallet up Seen in Part 1It's happened before
In 2018 a real game on Ethereum called Fomo3D paid its last player about $3 million when its countdown hit zero.
The story and the sources Seen in Part 1The prize math doesn't add up
100 players times $100,000 is $10 million. The prize wallet holds $30 million. Nobody has said who put in the other $20 million.

Rules for you
- Voting is free: comment the word for the newest part on TikTok, YouTube or Instagram.
- Every comment counts the same. Money can't buy a vote or change the story.
- There's no real $LAST coin. Anyone selling one, or DMing you about the show and money, is a scammer.
