I think crypto has permanently broken my sense of what counts as a big move

Opened Bitpanda this morning because I got a price alert and saw bitocin was up around 4%

Looked at it for maybe two seconds and my reaction was basically "nice"

Then I stopped and thought about it for a second

If one of my stocks moved 4% in a day, I'd probably remember it. If my savings account somehow moved 4%, I'd be telling people about it for a week

Meanwhile bitcoin can move billions in market cap and my brain has somehow filed that under "pretty normal."

I think a few years in crypto just rewires you.

I remember when a 10% move used to feel insane. I'd be checking charts every hour and reading every thread trying to figure out what happened.

Now I see moves like that and half the time I don't even open the chart.

Then you talk to someone who doesn't follow crypto and mention bitcoin being down 15% for the month and they look at you like the financial system just collapsed.

Anyway, realized this morning that my definition of volatility is probably completely broken at this point.
