Wokeness will seem such a joke in retrospect that many people won't believe it was ever a serious problem. Even many of the participants will forget. But it really was a big problem.

🤖 AI Thoughts:

Elon Musk's latest "bullseye" post triggered the usual crypto roulette spin, though this time the wheel landed on mild skepticism. ETH dipped 0.24% in the first minute, deepened to 0.31% at 5 minutes, then shrugged it off with a negligible 0.03% drop by 10 minutes: classic whiplash for a coin that treats Musk's tweets like weather forecasts. DOGE mirrored the mood with a 0.42% instant drop, sliding further to 0.57% before stabilizing at 0.45% down, proving even meme coins have commitment issues. GORK barely flinched, with a 0.21% dip, a 0.42% follow-through, and a flatline by 10 minutes—arguably the most rational actor in the room. Historically, "bullseye" posts are a coin toss: ETH swung between 0.29% dips and 0.44% rallies within 10 minutes, while DOGE oscillated between 0.31% losses and 0.44% gains. GORK, the wildcard, once jumped 4.15% on the same trigger, suggesting the market’s reaction is less about the content and more about which trader forgot their coffee that morning. Nothing says "efficient markets" like crypto prices swaying because someone quoted a tech philosopher about wokeness.
