can we team up and cast a wide net on the internet for easy money-making opportunities?

We need some of our young whippersnappers to trawl reddit and deposit the actual golden gems here. TIA.

DBT did that last Friday lol

Yeah, dbt scooped gme pretty early.

There's a guy on the Texas board with a thread telling everyone to buy it before it even got to $10 that is rightfully gloating.

Wallstreet has to love this new wave of populist investing. All you need is a few interns to monitor some forums, and then piggyback on momentum with massive bets. Get in. Get out. Profit.

I noticed that. I thought it was because I just opened an account last week. 

I think I can still buy BTC on Cash app.

It’s been fixed on Coinbase but yeah CashApp rarely ever goes down.

I think this was more or less already discussed, but Gov't regulation/liquidity were the brakes.

So their only source of revenue is the company that had a huge short position in GameStop?

I posted above your initial response about the subscription fees for margin. they also sell flow to more market makers than just citadel though I'm sure it's their big one. they also will make interest on money held (in normal interest environments anyway, lmao). probably some other stuff. I'm guessing the flow is the majority though.

i bet they lend out their clients' shares to short sellers and pocket the fees.
