[Hard] RUNE Price after Cap Raises

Bounty: Up to 147.04 RUNE

During the chaosnet phase, THORChain has limited the amount of funds stored in liquidity pools to allow for gradual growth of the ecosystem and reduce downside risk in the case of a hack. They have now gone through several periods where the caps have been raised and additional liquidity is allowed to flow into the network (you have have noticed the #RAISETHECAPS battlecry of the THORChads in the ecosystem). Is there a noticeable pattern of the price of $RUNE during these times where the caps are raised?

View Bounty

[Hard] ENS vs Gas

Bounty: Up to 22.88 ENS
