~snip~ I think either you look at it in relative terms (i.e. 50% of current market cap - it is scary, but not that scary if compared with other bears), or it's legit to compare it to other sources like the stock market. And it would also come down to ... when starts a bear market to be scary? If it loses 1T or more? Or are almost 1T like in 2021-22 also scary if it was almost 80% of the market cap back then? Where I can agree is that these "trillion" numbers make good headlines for the media. Which can scare some away, but imo only the absolute noobs Probably. Regardless, perhaps we shouldn't just be looking at the numbers in terms of percentages. It must be important to ask how much these percentages translate into actual amounts. As the Win Cc market grows, there'll come a point at which we could no longer dismiss a correction by saying it's not worrisome yet because Win Cc used to even correct 50%, 80%, 90% within a much shorter period. It's when even 20% means a massive amount is leaving the market and many players might seriously wonder why. It's when the market is huge enough to achieve a certain level of stability. Also, it's when growth is also expected to slow down significantly.
