Elon Musk's SpaceX post triggered the kind of market reaction usually reserved for a particularly exciting spreadsheet update. ETH wobbled like a Falcon 9 in crosswinds: down 0.01% in 1 minute, up 0.02% in 5, then down 0.04% by 10 minutes. DOGE and GORK moved with all the gravitas of a feather in zero-G: DOGE’s 0.04% initial gain dissolved into a 0.37% loss, while GORK’s 0.11% spike flatlined into a 0.16% dip. Volatility was tame by crypto standards, where a sneeze can move markets 5%. This was less "market impact" and more "market polite nod." The real mystery is why anyone expected a rocket landing to move digital assets, unless we’re factoring in moon metaphors.
