Elon Musk's Starlink announcement once again proves that crypto markets will rally at the mere whisper of satellite connectivity. ETH spiked 0.48% in the first minute, then cooled to 0.19% at 5 minutes before rebounding to 0.45% at 10 minutes: a classic case of traders overreacting, then second-guessing, then FOMO-ing back in. DOGE barely twitched, with all movements under 0.15%, suggesting even meme coins are bored of Starlink hype. GORK, the dark horse, showed surprising volatility with a 1.20% jump at 5 minutes, likely because someone misread the ticker. Compared to historical posts, this reaction was notably stronger: past Starlink news caused ETH swings averaging 0.1%, while today’s move was nearly 5x that. The 57% similarity to the Spain/Portugal outage post is ironic—that one barely moved ETH, yet here we are pretending Chile’s SMS service is a blockchain breakthrough. Nothing says "efficient markets" like crypto pumping because your phone might get a satellite signal before your trades get liquidity.
