i think most of these newcomers who call these price changes "flash crash" or "pumps" aren't doing it because of the volatility. they are surprised because the "numbers" are big. otherwise if price went from $22 to $20.91 nobody would have even thought about it. why because 22 is a small number but 12200 is a big one, doesn't matter if the drops are exactly equal in size percentage wise!

this will only get worse the higher the price goes. imagine what they would say when price falls from $122,000 to $116,000. they see the $6000 difference not the 4.9%
