How big were Binance at the end of 2017? They were still pretty new then.

I can imagine there may be bursts that are bigger than then and then it'll fall back. There'll be more people lurking who are inspired to join in with brief runs.

If there's to be a proper bubble type thing I'm curious to see how the main platforms will cope. They could have multiple times more strain and not many will keep the people and resources in reserve when things are dead just in case it happens.

I remember Cryptopia moaning about going from 30,000 users to over 1 million in a few weeks. You don't magic up competent employees and better back end out of nowhere, and not in a few weeks either.
