Are they still showing their buy order or whatever the equivalent of it is for DRSes? Or are they just kinda saying, "IM BUYING 100000 SHARES MONDAY" and everyone just nods now?

Strong Sauce posted:I just got out of Dumb Money. It does mythologize Roaring Kitty as there are groups of people we follow that “buy-in” based on reading wall street bets and watching his roaring kitty videos. But overall nothing completely out of hand with the real story. I just saw it myself, and I agree with all of your points. I do think they were a bit too bullish on WSB and meme stocks at the end of the movie, but they didn't sugarcoat the fact that some people lost money or that most of Wall Street received no punishment whatsoever for market manipulation.

Fur20 posted:how long before they start giving up? surely there's a point where they each individually realize, it ain't happening The problem is that because of the cult mentality and the hard line against negativity, the ones who give up don’t let anyone know when they do it. Why would they? I sure as gently caress wouldn’t. Instead they just quietly disappear. This leads to an interesting dynamic where the more apes get a clue, the dumber ape communities become. This is because whenever a development occurs and inevitably reveals their theory about it to be incorrect, the smartest ones decide that enough is enough and quietly leave the community. The ones that remain, then, are those that were not smart enough for that event to clue them in that they were wrong. Instead you can look at either volume of activity or stupidity of the overall narrative. For example: The BBBY ape community at large used to agree that their company going bankrupt would obviously be a bad thing, and insisted it would never do so. I can’t prove it directly but I guarantee that when they did file for bankruptcy, a poo poo ton of them sold their shares and got out. Logically, the remainder are those that were dumb enough to believe that maybe bankruptcy isn’t so bad. So in conclusion there will never be a time that they all collectively say “welp we were wrong”, instead the groups will just keep getting smaller and dumber. I predict that a year from now there will be a community of 50-100 BBBY apes discussing when RC will revive the company and make them rich.

yeah there's a ton of studies and real life examples of people just doubling down. like my favorite example was something I heard from NPR, where some conartist did a horny thing where lonely men sign up to be penpals with females. lots of dudes sent money to non existant women and the conner even had to hire some number of letter writers.

cruft posted:It's so interesting watching this play out in real time. I've said before, the thing is that the actual uniting activity of these groups IS the collective weaving of narratives, setbacks only mean more opportunities to come up with excuses to create yet another new one. And indeed, the communities become dumber, weirder and sillier as the smarter members quietly leave, feeling very silly, and the desperate and crazy become ever more prominent.

Why don't they just join a creative storytelling or improv theatre group if they want a community centered around writing your own fiction?

Welp, crypto people reaching out to me for...I don't know? A slap in the face? Back when I told them how their idea was unsound, they were determined to launch! Apparently their first token launched and went, well...like any ponzi would. I wasn't even following (I told them don't get me involved with the tokens) so I guess I found out later. It went from 60c -> $10 (for about 5 hours, surprisingly) -> .0006c. So that's 5 orders of magnitude drop in a day from the highs. I got one of the IT certs I previously let lapse, so I'm obviously not looking for work in the crypto sphere. notwithoutmyanus fucked around with this message at 20:44 on Sep 18, 2023 |

So I just learned of a $200m rug on an absolutely shitcoin blockchain called Bonerium. Apparently the other was shibarium so the name was a lazy similarity within the dog-meme stuff. I guess it launched, took every $$ people moved to it, and disappeared the next day. So, yes, all my apes gone. They had a telegram of all sorts of related BS: https://t.me/BoneriumNews https://twitter.com/Discordnfts/status/1639106878893613056 and https://twitter.com/BoneriumNet. People involved have some absolutely random mismash of memes: https://twitter.com/GoonrichCalls/status/1698643794428575995 Bitcoin: Harry Potter - the community has taken control (???) edit: apparently there's some *very* art heavy token, called sonik. https://twitter.com/Sonikcoin/status/1703453811900039489 notwithoutmyanus fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Sep 18, 2023 |

The "$200 million" comes from the multiplication of the total number of coins mined/minted/etc times the price. My guess is here someone took the highest price they ever traded for or were reported to trade for and multiplied that times the number of coins supposedly in the system. It's all fantasy.

I told the guy in question, who informed me of this whole $200m rug - that there's a very likely chance the money went straight to North Korea. Instead of acknowledging it, he said "maybe".
