Souls carrying single coins into the earth; a hooded ferryman takes a coin from each; below, figures in mist stare at a green candle far away

Never Bought

They knew, and never bought. Souls carry one coin each down into the earth, and Charon takes it as the fare. Below, in the mist, stand those who never entered the market, for ever watching the green candle that left without them.

Charon, the toll
Sentence
Watching the candle leave
A spiral storm of green candles and gold coins carrying souls toward a shining coin at its centre

Circle IILust

Whirlwind of FOMO

Keeper
The wind
Sentence
Always one candle late
Red candles falling like rain on souls with snapping levers while a three-headed hound devours spilled coins

Sin
100x leverage
Keeper
The liquidator
Sentence
Margin called for ever
Two crowds, bulls and bears, rolling enormous sacks of coins into each other

Keeper
The market
Sentence

Souls waist-deep in a murky swamp waving coloured flags under empty speech bubbles while a horned ferryman crosses

Circle VWrath

Toxic Marsh

Waist-deep in a murky swamp, souls wave the flags of their camps and drown each other in an argument that never ends. Empty speech bubbles hang above them. This is the hell of eternal crypto-twitter wars.

Sin
Tribal wrath
Keeper
The bell-ringing ferryman
Sentence
An argument without end
A burning city above rows of open tombs topped with cracked coins, a crowd kneeling before a false prophet holding up a glowing coin

Sin
Blind faith
Keeper
The false prophet
Sentence
Praying to the dead
Robbed souls in a garnet river shaking out empty purses as centaurs shoot at floating coins; below, burning sands, broken vaults and a dragon carrying off a chest

Circle VIIViolence

Garnet River & Burning Sands

The robbed stand waist-deep in a river of liquidity, shaking out empty wallets while centaur snipers shoot at the coins on the water. Below, the sands burn among cracked vaults, and a dragon carries off the last chest. The circle of hacks and exploits.

Sin
Hacks and exploits
Keeper
Centaur snipers
Sentence
Drained to the last coin
Ten stacked stone ledges, each with its own scam: shillers, a coin bubble, a sinking pyramid, bait, a toothed chest, a sandwich, serpents

Circle VIIIFraud

Ten Ditches of Scams

Every ledge, its own deception: shillers with megaphones, a coin blown up into a bubble, a pyramid whose bottom row is sinking, bait on a hook, a treasure chest with teeth, a sandwich attack, serpents guarding fake treasure.

Sin
Every kind of scam
Keeper
The imps
Sentence
Ten ways to be fooled
Ice giants rolling up carpets above frozen souls; at the bottom a three-faced winged king pulls a carpet from under everyone as coins slide into the ice

Circle IXTreachery

Frozen Lake of the Rug Pull

The very bottom, kept for those who betrayed their own community. Ice giants roll up the carpets; frozen souls clutch empty wallets. At the centre the three-faced king, founder, insider and market maker, pulls the rug from under everyone, and the coins slide into the ice.

Sin
Betraying the community
Keeper
The three-faced king
Sentence
Frozen with empty wallets
