As I understand it, our "new" channel is $5000-$10000, since 10k is a nice round number. Also at this point the % change vs. $ change (if you measure in USD rather than BTC) is way different - At $50, a 10% increase is to $55. At $5000, it's $500. Both will net you the same gains/losses, but a lot of people still think of BTC in terms of USD - so we need to consider the fact that the same percent is a lot more "real" money for the majority of investors.
