I was noticing the Big Mac index which is something that the economist invented a long time ago because it supposed to represent the entire economy because of so many different parts of the economy required to make a Big Mac and also it's a good estimate for purchasing power parity between countries
Anyway it made me want to go get a Big Mac

Portfolio Backtester for ETFs and Asset Allocation | testfolio
As the Bitcoin market matures and the ETFs become a larger portion of the market cap you end up in a regime where people rebalance portfolios, dampening volatility.
I never understood how this works until I started using Wealthfront
It automatically rebalances portfolios and it only let you put 10% of your money into a Bitcoin ETF (and only Ibit)
So every week or so when Bitcoin goes up a whole bunch it'll sell some of that and reinvest the proceeds into other things that have gone down like commodities or foreign stocks or whatever you picked .
It's a robo investor .
And it has out-performed my hand-to-hand combat investment in the last 8 years as I played with it
I highly recommend you put a little money in wealthfront and screw around with it and watch what happens with the rebalancing. It is quite educational. You may find as I have that the robot is better than you are.
Furthermore,, All of the rebalancing activities across the whole market explains some of the decline in volatility that we've seen this year that has made Bitcoin so boring for the gamblers among us [guilty].

It's a great way to save up for the next vacation or whatever

Ode to the Car Wash
O temple of transformation, cathedral of soap and spray, Where strangers' hands prepare my chariot for baptism— These men and women who scrub with practiced grace, Whose worried glances dart toward distant sirens, Who know the weight of invisible borders Yet gift my metal beast their careful attention.
Through my glass ceiling I watch the ritual unfold: Water cascades like Austin spring rain, Brushes dance their mechanical ballet, A symphony of suds and spinning cloth. Above me, the great dryer descends— Ancient elephant of the automatic age, Nodding its wise gray head, Breathing hot wind across my windshield Like some benevolent pachyderm god Blessing my journey with its gentle exhale.
In this tunnel of cleansing I am passenger To transformation older than temples: The human need to wash away Yesterday's dust, today's anxiety, Tomorrow's uncertainty— While hands that risk everything Polish chrome that catches Texas sun, And machines that could be animals Complete what human touch began.
Here, in this moment between dirty and clean, Between fear and hope, Between the mechanical and the tender, I find something like grace In the ordinary miracle Of strangers caring for my car And elephantine dryers nodding Their ancient approval Over all of us.
