GameStop trading halted; shares up 1000%. This is because more people sold short on it than shares even exist, requiring institutional investors to buy the underlying stock to hedge, driving the price up further, attracting even more short sellers, etc etc etc. Currently, the stock is over subscribe to shorts; short sellers hold contracts for over 109% of its outstanding shares. People think it's such a sure bet to crash that they've created a scarcity of shares and an increase in price. It's a doomed company, there isn't even any kind of plan for a future of viability, but this perverse feedback loop of short selling has caused it to go full on dutch tulip. Totally normal market

gradenko_2000 posted:https://twitter.com/twiggerstorm/status/1352372518846402560?s=19 Good thing we increased N95 production and the shortage ended  oh wait, that never happened. 3M activated inactive production lines, I hear they're building a new facility slated for this year, but why is 3M's patent more important than just letting anyone with the equipment make it ala WW2? Furniture factories were making plane parts and there are still firearms out there with factory stamps from places that other than the war, never even made anything like a gun. The staff at the hospital I work at hang their N95s up for collection and cleaning like Christmas stockings with their names on them. The SOP is they are cleaned and used 4 times. I doubt that is actually the case.

My understanding of this is that what defines the "true" blockchain is kept consistent between parties through consensus/verification between clients, measured in terms of the balance of recorded computing power effort If nodes you controlled somehow constituted more than half of the ledger, you could effectively forge docs and rewrite the history of that chain because your fake ledger outnumbers/outweighs the "true" consensus

the shorts dont have to be naked to have more short interest than shares exist. selling short just means borrowing the stock and selling it. the buyer of the stock in that transaction can then loan it out again to a new guy who sells it for a short.
