The following account was recorded in the agent's log during your transmission: Downtown Tokyo street signs hang from old streetlights running alongside a seemingly abandoned, rural highway that cuts through a vast, dry salt lakebed. The air's hot, dry, and smells like salt, and the sky above's a deep, clear blue. Umm, Bitcoin's live price chart, still reading $100K, displays on a dusty TV that's just sitting there, somehow working fine, on the cracked, dry salt ground, while seagulls fly silently overhead, next to giant, motionless balloons of Pepe the Frog, somehow stuck to the air like they're embedded in glass. eBay logos are plastered all over the old, rusty highway guardrails.
