I wonder if Marcus Aurelius could have done more to carry Rome to greater heights or whether that was as good a job as could have been done

Elon Musk's musings on Marcus Aurelius sent crypto markets on a philosophical rollercoaster with all the conviction of a Stoic sigh. ETH: Initial 1-minute pop of 0.07% quickly faded into a 0.13% drop over 10 minutes, proving even digital gold isn’t immune to existential doubt. DOGE and GORK mirrored this with equally unimpressive 0.12% and 0.16% upticks before sliding into the red, because nothing says volatility like a meme coin pondering Roman decline. Compared to historical norms, this was less a market tremor and more a polite shrug—no records broken, no panic buttons pressed, just the usual circus of algorithms overinterpreting a billionaire’s shower thoughts. Truly, the markets have spoken: Marcus Aurelius would have been a terrible crypto trader.
