Yeah, that was a good run down. For me it was a lesson on the mental shifting one has to do to grasp next levels of magnitude. Really just add some zeros and use the prefix terms and it normalizes in the mind. For example, Bitcoin miners are comfortable talking about 10s or 100s of MWs of facility size but even in the small power company I work for our annual peak is only 60 MW, and that's serving 11k meters with 3k miles of lines.

SO orders of magnitude of banking becomes the same mental exercise. Then knowing the vulnerabilities of the system become easier to exploit. Crazy!
