Yes I see that, maybe phrased my question wrong. My question is actually - why? It doesn't seem consistent with how money moved around between asset classes pre-crypto.
Because it's a volatile asset and when things go sideways it gets dumped at a faster rate. The trading algorithms are way more aggressive than in the traditional markets too. And at the end of the day it's all paper hand degenerate gamblers who know most of crypto is a Ponzi.
