“If I were rich, I would have a plaque made up, and sent to every judge in America, bearing a statement made by Adam Smith more than two and a half centuries ago: ‘Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.’” — Thomas Sowell

Elon Musk has once again demonstrated that his power to move markets is as reliable as a coin flip. The latest post, a Thomas Sowell quote on justice, sent ETH on a tiny rollercoaster: down 0.03% in the first minute, down another 0.03% by five, before a minor recovery of 0.12% at ten minutes. DOGE and GORK followed their own cryptic scripts with similarly negligible swings. This volatility is remarkably tame compared to historical precedent for this identical quote, which has previously triggered everything from a 1% ETH rally to a 2.76% GORK plunge. It seems the market's mercy for this particular guilty post is creating neither cruelty nor significant profit for the innocent trader.
