noticed any change in volatility from crypto ol' days compared to now?

Early participants were lucky.. nowadays the kind of volatility comes with a narrative...

There was a bit more peace in the obscurity of the industry back then

These days, crypto is mainstream. Narratives have always been around but now they are front and center

In the past, we'd see volatility and I'd ask people if they knew what $BTC was and they all said they never heard of it

Trade is an art.

Also interesting that trading hours are when most people work. So if people work in the 9 to 5 time (EST) frame Monday to Friday they can't trade. Trading all the time, any time is certainly a draw and plus.
