Conversion rate will almost certainly be far from 100%

Imagine it's more like a net 10% will leave, which is in line with many layoffs (acknowledging Microsoft's size makes this a large number)

It IME doesn't act like an anti-depressant/SSRI which can affect your enthusiasm/desire for your job.

Bitcoin specifically, with its multi-trillion dollar market cap, is built up that high purely on speculation. It is a very fragile store of wealth, especially the higher its market cap becomes.

I lived <1 mile from it at the time it went down, and had crossed it earlier in the day on my commute.
