The crypto market capas dropped one point three trillion dollars. And there are a lot of people who would have bought in at one of those really high prices because of all the enthusiasm that was happening. They're buying in, and they're going to get hit if this doesn't go back up. It's a bizarre kind of quality of this economy. But i might also just be time at the mem economy in general, poor, sort of mean assets and mean stocks. So that's why, i think, also, you just can't trust the numbers you hear.
