GameStop Saga being made into movie

MGM, Winklevoss Twins to Make Movie About Reddit’s GameStop Investors Taking on Wall Street

Haha I knew this was kinda inevitable but already?! Lool.


Films rights already been bought... interesting

RobinHood allows you to buy btc (and other cryptocurrencies), but you can't move it out. This could cause legitimate worries about all btc on RH being just paper IOUs.

So a number of btc newbies have some (paper?) btc on RH, and now they want to get it out of a likely sinking boat. The only option they have is sell now (taxable event, ouch!), get the money out (RH does allow you withdraw $$, duh!), keep aside the taxman's share (ouch again), send the money to some "normal" exchange, get less btc than you used to have (boo-ho!), transfer that to a wallet you control (your own keys: it's finally been turned into your bitcoin, win!).

I've got two questions - food for thought.

1) How many newbies are going to jump through the multiple hoops?

2) What if many actually do? There are likely consequences for RobinHood: assuming they never actually bought the backing crypto, they'd be under by a lot. Just think of the doge bull. I could care less about them, though. What happens to the price when a shitload of redditors sell at the same time?

TL;DR RH is really throwing shit at anyone trying to go against the system - either people who try to punish asshole over-100%-shorting hedge funds, or people who buy btc (or doge in recent days, well you know, newbies!). I wish RobinHood went out of business. Which isn't totally unlikely as a result of the latest shenanigans.

The rule defines a wash sale as one that occurs when an individual sells or trades a security at a loss and, within 30 days before or after this sale, buys a "substantially identical" stock or security, or acquires a contract or option to do so.

Hey WO, as you can see from my name, I am the 3 millionth user on this beautiful forum, as evidenced by my Custom Title: Yes, really. In the very near future, I am going to study the details of signing and verifying messages using Bitcoin and also want to learn more about PGP. If you think there is something else I should pay attention to, feel free to say.

Having looked through many sections on the forum, I have not found a more interesting thread than this. I love your heated discussions, especially how you combine Bitcoin discussions with memes. Folks, I love your custom hats and I want one for myself, therefore, I firmly decided to become part of your team.

Bitcoin HODL!

Fuck off. We're full.

Can you imagine working in Gamestop HQ. Your stores have been closed for a year due to a plandemic and your stock is way down...facing bankruptcy, you see the writing on the wall when a major hedge fund known for killing companies shorts the shit out of your stock and starts having their media puppets talk about how worthless your stock is...
You sit there at the office, go on Monster.com to find another job, you start packing up your personal items so you don't have to worry about them later, you check in on your co-workers that will probably have a hard time finding another job...

Then you come into work the next day and find out that some random reddit posts are turning your company into the next Google.

Hey guys let's buy and hodl GME til the day we die! We can do it, let's make the billionaires lose for once (unless they join us ofc)

We're poor now.

I can imagine a new hollywood movie coming out later this year. The plot would be: "How a bunch of nerd gamers almost crashed the world economy. Thanks to a misteryous call, the infamous robinhood platform prevented the massive short squeeze and saved the Wall Street brokers from bancruptcy. This will be a lesson for all shorters for the times to come.."

The Commission is closely monitoring and evaluating the extreme price volatility of certain stocks’ trading prices over the past several days. Our core market infrastructure has proven resilient under the weight of this week’s extraordinary trading volumes. Nevertheless, extreme stock price volatility has the potential to expose investors to rapid and severe losses and undermine market confidence.

As always, the Commission will work to protect investors, to maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and to facilitate capital formation. The Commission is working closely with our regulatory partners, both across the government and at FINRA and other self-regulatory organizations, including the stock exchanges, to ensure that regulated entities uphold their obligations to protect investors and to identify and pursue potential wrongdoing. The Commission will closely review actions taken by regulated entities that may disadvantage investors or otherwise unduly inhibit their ability to trade certain securities.

In addition, we will act to protect retail investors when the facts demonstrate abusive or manipulative trading activity that is prohibited by the federal securities laws. Market participants should be careful to avoid such activity. Likewise, issuers must ensure compliance with the federal securities laws for any contemplated offers or sales of their own securities.

The Commission will continue our work on behalf of investors and the markets. In this regard, we hope to facilitate a robust public dialogue among market participants and investors on the structure and operation of our securities markets. Members of the public can submit tips or complaints through the Commission’s website using this online form. Members of the public with questions should contact the Commission’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy at 1-800-732-0330, ask a question using this online form, or email us at Help@SEC.gov.
