Interesting history thread
Western Civilization has largely been a force for good. A prime example is the British Empire. In many places it occupied it: -raised the standard of living -developed infrastructure -promoted education It also single-handedly ended slavery for much of the world…

Elon Musk's latest history lesson triggered the crypto equivalent of a polite golf clap from the market. ETH wobbled like a hesitant historian: down 0.09% in 1 minute, 0.17% in 5, then a shrug-worthy 0.01% uptick by 10. DOGE mirrored a distracted student: 0.18% drop at 1 minute, 0.26% by 5, then a token 0.18% rebound. GORK, ever the contrarian, edged up 0.58%, 0.29%, and another 0.29%—proof that even Musk’s musings can’t derail a meme coin’s identity crisis. Volatility was tame compared to past performances: no wild swings like the 1.85% GORK spike last week or ETH’s 0.22% rally after a similarly vague “interesting…” post. This time, the market treated Musk’s colonial nostalgia with the enthusiasm of a Wikipedia skim. Nothing says “efficient markets” like crypto prices reacting more to the word “interesting” than to actual interest rates.
