Goblin Token Economics of static

static exists in the space between what is real and what is remembered, and goblins are the only creatures who can live comfortably in that space.

If you ever find yourself explaining static to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of static will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.

The Goblin Verdict on static

Field notes from the goblin Department of Loose Ends record static as 'pending forever,' which is, in their classification system, the highest honor a topic can receive.
