/r/Wallstreetbets allowed discussing Bitcoin, then banned it again

[Lucius]

I'm just amazed at the childishness and pettiness of /r/WSB's mod team, but it's totally in the spirit of subreddit to make quick emotional decisions.

I was not impressed with their decision to allow a discussion of crypto, but I am not in the least surprised that one article offended them to withdraw that decision. The guys obviously have a very high opinion of themselves after what they've achieved, and no one can blame them if they don't want to discuss Bitcoin - but this kind of behavior is really childish.

And it's gone

Wallstreetbets reinstated their ban on crypto discussions because of some small article published on Bloomberg with the title "WallStreetBets Bows to Crypto Wave".

I do not know why many people think that r/wallstreetbets mods are professionals with serious discussions. It is not a signature campaign and the board is entirely for entertainment and stock discussions.
The decision-making was emotional, but what is worrisome is the extent of the media’s influence on mod’s decisions, as the opposite was what happened in the sense that discussions in the forum are what change news headlines and not the other way around.

Generally, it makes no difference. When stock tokenization process begins, they will allow the discussions.

I think wallstreetbets is a joke overall.  I have visited the subreddit a few times and every time I do I read an absolutely massive amount of information and ignorance.   Wallstreetbets is just a giant pump and dump group and there is not legitimacy to that in my humble opinion.  I am simply not a fan, and stuff like this makes me hate them even more.

My favorite comment is:

Can't wait for the "WallStreetBets Bows to Shitty Bloomberg Articles" article

This is the best comment ever. They bowed to everything haha. Bow to the Crypto Wave. And now Bow to Bloomberg opinions. It kind of just goes to show that degens are degens whatever you say at the end of the day.

Totally how to describe reddit and all of crypto twitter in one example:)
