GME, AMC, Nokia, BB, all would have kept going up, but there is always someone left holding the bag and the gamblers on WSB were all talking about cashing out at 1k/share. I think you probably would have seen the stock tank long before it got any where near 1k. Once Elon Musk tweeted out WSB, you had a bunch of new comers into the stock marketed that bought in at 300-400 who would have probably sold the moment they doubled their money.
Now you mentioned Elon, what the fuck he is doing lately pumping random stuff? I don't buy it that he really likes bitcoin, doge or GME. Bitcoin has been around for more than 10 years. He knew it in 2013 even before. Suddenly he found god? The game is bigger than that he acts like he is trying to make a point. Like, I don't know the whole financial markets are straight out bullshit? I don't know. He looks like he definitely has a problem with somebody. Could be a hedge fund, could be the SEC or the central banks or maybe the whole Wall Street. Whatever it is, I hope he doesn't become another McAfee. Elon is an eccentric billionaire, very very eccentric. The guy single handedly caused Bitcoin to skyrocket today because he announced Tesla will be including BTC in their financial portfolio and will start accepting BTC. I mean, good for Bitcoin I guess? Elon isn't your typical liberal billionaire that will tout the line for dem's, I don't mind him. |

All this is telling us is that Biden doesn't really know how to do it right.  So let me be sure I get what you're saying here...there is a correct way to rape someone, and that correct way is not getting caught? That's pretty dark... Let me give Biden credit, shocking I know, but when it comes to rape allegations, the burden of proof lies on the accuser. Tara Reade hasn't provided any concrete proof. So I'm not going to throw Biden under the bus quite yet. |

It's a step towards mass adoption. I predicted at some point in the future localities will start issuing out bitcoin payments in some form before it's adopted on a federal level. If mayors can get the ball rolling, governors will back bitcoin, until it's used on the federal level.
Andrew Yang was a Presidential candidate in the US 2020 elections, felt he would have been the most pro-Bitcoin President had he won.

If Robin Hood and other criminals didn't remove the buys orders, the price would see $1000+ imo. It was going parabolic. It would eventually go down again probably but not from $400-500. Whoever was buying GME was already ready to accept their loss, coming up with an excuse like "We wanted to protect the retail invetors" is straight up bullshit.
What if somebody knew the others don't about the company and front-buying the share? When the hedge funds do that it is all legal, when the retail does it, suddenly it breaks the system.

To all you arguing about the vaccine and referring to healthcare workers - https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-12-31/healthcare-workers-refuse-covid-19-vaccine-accessLong story short, if you're someone that has a high chance of dying from COVID, aka fat, disgustingly overweight, heart problems, so on, you should get the vaccine. If you're young and healthy, the vaccine isn't going to do you much good. That's probably why healthcare workers aren't all getting vaccinated. A healthcare worker on the frontlines that's been exposing themselves to COVID and has been fine thus far is probably thinking that they don't need the vaccine. It's hard to convince them that they do because the point of a young person taking the vaccine is not to help themselves, but to ensure that young person doesn't spread the virus around. So how do you make the case that a young healthy person should take the vaccine when clinical trials haven't examined long term effects? Kinda tough to. I don't think you're anti-vax if you refuse getting the COVID vaccine. |

Jeff Bezos owns crypto, no doubt. All the big players are diversifying their investments into gold, silver, and now Bitcoin because they recognize that crypto can compete against fiat if governments want to spend recklessly. I read some articles months ago that Goldman Sachs are included crypto into their portfolios so if giant financial firms are already in the crypto industry, safe to say high net worth individuals are too.
This also means that most of the big banks were WRONG on crypto a decade ago. They knew it was a competitor and tried to kill it early through misinformation.

No...he won't be.
His plans involve increasing the tax rate and expanding on Obamacare, which Trump should have repealed honestly. It also includes 1.9 trillion dollars in COVID spending which is overall bad for the economy if you pay attention to inflation rates.
You might consider his 15 dollar minimum wage catastrophic for the economy too. Big corps will do well, because all politicians are in the pockets of large companies, but the small businesses end up getting the short end of the stick.

Well, let's look at history. Any time the government has tried to ban something, it usually makes things worse. Just like the US dealt with the prohibition era and kept away booze from their citizens. People just kept on drinking away. Regardless of whether it's good or bad, they can't stop anyone from trading crypto  |

You do realize that Republicans refused to do anything about her? They not only punted it to Democrats but McCarthy even called the attempt to remove her from committees a "power grab". There will be primary challengers... just more like Greene to replace for example the 11 Republicans who voted with Democrats on Greene's removal. Right, I get it. My main goal is for Republicans to put up a decent challenger so I give democrats credit for voting her off. I don't trust their motives obviously because democrats are not beneath calling every republican a Q-anon'er. But as long as the end result is her being gone, I'm fine with the means tbh. |

What I said is a fact, actually. Feel free to dispute it and I'll provide the evidence.
If you think he's innocent or above the law, just say so. Playing the 'it was political' card over and over removes credibility from all your posts. You could say that about any politician that commits a crime - it doesn't mean politicians should not be held accountable. Depends on the point that they’re trying to argue here. If they’re trying to say that Cohen was targeted due to being close to Trump and the Mueller campaign saw that he could potentially flip on Trump (which he did) — Then I’d say that’s true. I’m pretty sure (don’t quote me) that he wasn’t being investigated prior to the Mueller probe starting. With this line of thought, then the Mueller probe was the reason for Michael Cohen getting charged with his crimes. Let me know if that line of thought is wrong, will gladly read some of the stuff on that. Shit feels so long ago now. What you are saying is that Cohen was prosecuted for political reasons -- to cause damage to Trump, who is was the leader of the opposition party of the "career" DOJ prosecutors who decided to prosecute Cohen. His prosecution was obviously political to hurt Trump but he also was a shitty lawyer who committed crimes tbh. He should've not turned on Trump and instead gambled on a pardon by shutting his mouth, it would have taken him much further than trying to turn on Trump lmao. Dem's were going to throw him under the bus regardless and republicans weren't going to do anything to stop it. Anyways, he's already out of jail and landed a sweet book deal which'll make him a boat load of cash so it's hard to feel sorry. Chalk it to "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" aka being Trump's personal attorney. |

5 whole jews you say? My god, they're taking over. The particularly nasty ones often pass themselves off as something else. Often 'Catholic', and when so usually of the 'Jesuit' variety. Some say that that sect was created by and for 'conversios'. I wouldn't pretend to know. Anyway, let's say it is true and my source (the Jerusalem Post IIRC) is all washed up. Even 5/18 is a pretty high ratio when one considers that Jews are supposedly 2% of the population. That's 1/50 for the mathematically challenged. Must the the superior intelligence that they go on about perhaps? I'm sure it has nothing to do with influence from the financial sector and Jewish lobbying groups or anything like that. I can assure you that Biden is not going to be as friendly to Israel as Trump was if you're worried about pro Jewish lobbying groups. Biden was clear about reopening negotiations with Palestinians and within his own party are antisemites like Rashida Talib and Ilhan Omar. I wouldn't be too concerned. |

Hello,
I am back as promised to inform everyone that two days ago i had my second vaccine dose.
I feel fine and i didn't felt any noticiable reaction, besides a slight pain.
Pray for my soul
No body aches, fatigue, low grade fever or anything? Where do you feel the pain? The vaccine clinical trial data is online and only a few people in trials experienced any side effects - https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-detail/pfizer-and-biontech-announce-publication-results-landmarkThis varies greatly from the moderna vaccine where side effects were rampant during the second dose. The vaccine is generally safe, but a lot of people say the second dose makes you feel like shit. |

To busy plugging 'Jews' into practically every cabinet position available I guess.

How many people do you think exist out there are legitimately stuck and cannot under any circumstance find any work? There are jobs created for low skilled workers but nobody is going to bother to work them with 400 bucks in supplemental unemployment insurance. If you actually can't work for a legitimate reason, then there's an argument to be made that you should get a bit of government help. With how wasteful the US government is it seems the unemployment insurance boost is for everyone. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't know how many are there. I just take issue with calling them morons, as well as now putting them all into the "low skilled" bucket, because I know a few personally who got screwed quite badly - for health reasons, unable to find work with they education/experience, etc. Ideally yes, I would want the boost only for those who really need it. That still doesn't make them morons IMO. I consider those who mooch off the government instead of working morons, or lazy. People who have legitimate reasons for being unable to work, example being elderly or no jobs open due to lockdowns are obviously exceptions. If you're a retail worker, it's not your fault that COVID came in and shut down your job because of government lockdowns. On the other hand, if you depended on the government to cut you a check instead of actively looking for work, I don't have any sympathy and it is a very dumb gamble to leave your life situation up to government. Again, obviously there are exceptions which is who the money needs to be targeted to. 2k checks and unemployment supplements for everyone is not a good idea. |

On a side note, if an American is unemployed still after nearly one year of COVID 19, isn't that their fault for being a moron?
Yep, totally their fault for being a moron, or perhaps for having kids, being older, being immunocompromised, or unable to get from driving Uber into one of those cushy remote jobs within a year (WTF is up with all that college degree nonsense).

Why are you limiting the problem to just Americans? No reason in particular. I know very well those in the EU are suffering too. And surely those in the pacific. I mention Americans only because of the 1.9 trillion spending bill that democrats passed. |

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-relief-democrats-1-9-trillion-plan/Helloooooo to massive inflation, everybody. In case you are doubting diversifying any investments into crypto, let a 1.9 TRILLION dollar bill serve as motivation. This would include unconditional 1.4k checks and unemployment supplements. On a side note, if an American is unemployed still after nearly one year of COVID 19, isn't that their fault for being a moron?

Oh no, Gamestop down over 75 percent from its peak. Who could have predicted this? No one.
One thing wallstreetbets seemed to not understand is that after things subside and GME comes crashing down, the institutional investors were already out. It's normal everyday people that dabbled in the market who got bit hard. You're no longer supporting the small guys, you're just using them to keep the stock solvent, almost like a ponzi.
It's rather sad the amount of people who lost their money.
It really does seem like the attempt at a short squeeze has failed. I do wonder what would have happened hadn't Robinhood pulled the plug on Thursday though. And especially how shorts managed to reduce short interest over the weekend from ~122% on Friday to ~51% on Monday (according to S3 analysts), ie. whether (a) false numbers were reported, (b) shorts haven't been covered, just "restructured" or (c) OTC deals took place over the weekend. I still believe WSB would have had a fighting chance if not for all the dirty punches, alas it will now likely either fizzle out or turn into a pump and dump attempt. Either way, that was over faster than I expected. I guess I'm too used to the honey badger that is Bitcoin. GME was going higher if Robinhood didn't pull strings but still, no educated investor should invest in a hype train and WSB were being incredibly dishonest. Too much propaganda on the front page telling people to hold to fuck over the hedge funds when it was just a bunch of people that bought in early or bought in late trying to save their bottom line. The hedge funds have tens of billions of dollars a button away from being loaded into their accounts to manipulate the market so even though they shorted, their losses were never going to be too big because they'll get bailed out. The mets owner iirc gave 3 billion to the hedge fund behind the short bets. That money went up in smoke but point being, they had plenty more to borrow. |
