        Different beasts a little imo, not sure how to even think about the comparable statistics for the stonks at large

        Cause the tweet mentions sale volume explicitly; so for stonk, more of a AI-traded vs human kinda thing, but not exactly.

        I think this 10% of crypto traders are just pumping in order to dump and exist purely to “excite” the market with inauthenticly-high demand data (inflated sales volume).

        I’m not really sure what the equivalent would be for the market at large. Enron types for sure I guess, and what percentage of firms are just various forms of Enron behavior probably depends on your cynicism levels
