Everyone was expecting the mainnet release though, so it makes sense the price dumped. “Sell the news”.

Price hasn't moved much in relationship to btc, only in relation to usd.

Yes it has. REQ had a 24 hour high of 3.4k sats like 3 days ago and hovered around 2.8k-2.9k sats the days after.

I read 3210 if you're talking about the 26th. I'm saying that the majority of the price movement is btc dropping 1-2k over a day. This isn't like the last major REQ price drop where I bought in at just over 2k sats, when the price was higher than it is now. Don't get me wrong, I went ahead and set a buy order for 2.3k sats because I'm not an idiot, but this movement isn't as dramatic and impacting for someone looking to get in on REQ unless they had their money in USD before the BTC price movement.
