This week in Bitcoin: - Trump's Tariff Tantrum - Satoshi Turns 50 - All Eyes on Ryan Cohen and GME

[jimintomystery]

Keith "RoaringKitty" Gill returned to YouTube on June 7, three years after he spearheaded the 2021 GameStop short squeeze, inspired a major motion picture, and rode off into the sunset. The video above, from Atrioc, summarizes all the reasons this didn't go well.

June 7 was a rough day for "Apes," the subset of memestock investors who care less about turning a profit than in winning a war against some imaginary conspiracy of evil hedge funds. For three years they've been rationalizing why they're not getting rich, and convincing themselves that the great RoaringKitty would agree with all their absurd theories if he was still around. When he announced his comeback livestream, the hype was that a) he would confirm their beliefs and b) the stock price would go to the moon. Neither of these things happened.

One of the wackier Ape concepts is that you can own a share in GameStop and refuse to sell, but the evil "hedgies" can still illegally borrow that share to use in a nefarious short attack. So many Apes have exalted the practice of moving your shares from trading platforms, like Robinhood and E-Trade, to the Direct Registration System (DRS) as a defense against this non-existent threat. In April about 75 million GameStop shares--roughly 25% of all the company's floating shares--were registered with DRS, and almost all of those probably belong to Apes. Apes who swear by DRS have always assumed RoaringKitty would be on board with this strategy, as would GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen, whom they believe is sympathetic to their cause.

However, the entire strategy of locking the float in DRS, to keep shares out of the hands of short investors, falls apart if GameStop dilutes the stock by issuing new shares. Apes just assumed that Cohen wouldn't do that to them. But when RoaringKitty returned to Twitter in May, the stock price jumped, so GameStop issued 45 million shares to get some of that money. And on June 7, GameStop went out of its way to take advantage of the RoaringKitty livestream hype to issue another 75 million shares. It's basically a license to print money for the company, but it's bad for the stock price, which is bad for the Apes.

To a normal observer, it's pretty clear that Keith Gill created a situation where Ryan Cohen threw the Apes under a bus. So the Apes were sorting through a lot of cognitive dissonance on the morning of June 7. But they remained optimistic that RoaringKitty's livestream would salvage the day. All the facts on the ground that created fear, uncertainty, and doubt wouldn't matter. With the right words, RoaringKitty could instantly prove all that stuff was fake news to test their faith, and now that faith would be rewarded. After three years of enduring failed prophecy, cooking up fringe theories that fell flat, and digging for clues in all the wrong places, Apes had high expectations that Gill would issue a statement that finally hand them an unambiguous victory. They did not get it.

Gill opened his stream with this weird gag where he pretended to be injured and comatose for about two minutes. If you could figure out what the gag was--that he was being brought back to life or something--it was not funny. If you couldn't figure that out, he just seemed like a delusional idiot. When he finally dropped the act he just started rambling as if it was any other livestream, and he had nothing in particular to talk about. Gill's weird laugh reminded me of Tom Cruise's most unhinged moments. He reacted to the stock dropping as though he was supposed to care but really didn't.

During the stream, Gill shared a screen revealing his investment position. (I mean, he could have altered the numbers on the screen--he even demonstrated that he knows how to do that sort of thing--but to my knowledge he had no motive to do this.) His shares are all in E-Trade, not DRS, and he's made a substantial investment in short-term call options. Either of these facts would be considered heretical to most Apes, according to the canon they've built up since RoaringKitty was assumed into heaven logged off in 2021.

I've been following the fallout of June 7, as Apes try to cope with everything that happened. I've seen quite a few of them struggle to keep the faith, while saying things like "All Ryan Cohen had to do was not do this..." or "All RoaringKitty had to do was just say this..." They don't understand why these guys would take actions that don't make Apes rich. The simplest explanation, of course, is that each of them is in it for himself. (Also, perhaps neither of them is as clever as Apes would have you believe.) But considering that possibility would force Apes to admit that they've wasted a lot of money, and we can't have that! So it's quite a conundrum--it's hard work maintaining a cult when your idols actively work against you.

The most coherent new spin I've seen goes like this: "Shut up and stop complaining, Ryan Cohen and RoaringKitty have a business to run, they don't owe you an explanation." This is popular among the Apes who claim to be uninterested in sick gains, and simply want to invest in a company they love and believe in. They don't care if the stock price goes up. They don't care if they get a return on their investments. They just want to give money into GameStop, and expect nothing in return but GameStop's continued survival. At this stage, you can barely even call what they're doing "investment"--it's more like charity, or perhaps a religious offering.

hihi. Seth Cohen smut?

ᝰ . shut the fuck up, seth cohen blurb

“okay babe — slow down your horses! not for god’s but for my sake! — holy shit,” he mumbled between one moan and another, his hands hooked your hips in a bumbling way as you repeatedly impaled yourself on his dick.

you moved your hair to one side with a hand, while the other one wandered around his chest, sticky with sweat, to his face. you leaned in, stopping him from saying another nonsense of his, trapping his lips in a heated kiss, continuing to bounce on his dick.

he whimpered in your mouth when you increased the speed, making you get wetter. “y-you are — fuck! you’re killing my dick,” he said looking upp at you. his body was quite trembling under yours, he struggled to keep his eyes open and his lips were slightly parted. you slowed down to rotate your hips on his length, feeling him caressing your spongy insides. you bit your lips to hold back a moan, but you miserably failed when you felt him twitching inside you. he was about to speak again but you preceded him, “not another fucking word.”

“you can’t just speed up and slow down like that-” he tried but you slammed a hand on his mouth, starting to move on him once again, setting your pace and grinding on him. you knew he was overstimulated, you could tell by the way his hands loosen up on your hips and by the way his thighs shook.

“will you shut the fuck up, cohen?” you asked rhetorically while you continued moving on him roughly. your hand found his and led him to your clit, forcing him to rub it. you were close, your walls tightening on his hard member.

when you felt him twitching again, you reached your highest point: your orgasm hit you hard, milking him with every drop. you continued to ride your high out on him, while he was like in trance — looking up at you, his face sweaty and his eyes begging you to finish him off.

you smirked at him — “what? my little yapper boy needs something?” you teased, almost stilling your movements. he nodded eagerly, his hips bucking up in search of some relief. but you weren’t having it. “you ain’t got any words now?”

“please — please princess-” his hands flew on your hips, tentatively caressing you as a plead.

you pretended to think about it, “mh — since you asked so nicely,” you lifted up, pulling out his dick from your pussy, strands of your cream and his arousal connected your thighs to his balls, and as much as you claimed it didn’t, the sight was getting you worked up again.

you positioned yourself between his thighs and wrapped your finger around his throbbing cock, which you had the suspect could bust just at the contact. you rubbed him up and down, looking at him directly in his eyes.

“like this baby? you like it? you asked, squeezing gently his tip with your middle and pointer finger. you approached to it, brushing your lips against it, earning a quiet whimper from him.

“babe... if you don't-” he stumbled over his words “stop teasing...”

you decided to fulfill his request and finally took him in your mouth, wrapping your pump lips around his dick, kitty-licking his tip as you hollowed your cheeks, forcing yourself to accept the whole length in your warm mouth. he tried to grab your hair with his hand, but you harshly stopped him, slapping his hand down on the bed as he sighed.

however, it took less than two minutes to have him relapsing in your mouth, he moaned loudly, as his cock spasmed — warm seed filled your cavity, ending up directly in your throat.

you continued to pump him with your right hand up and down, while you sucked on his tip to swallow even the last drop.

when he finished, you pulled your mouth away from his dick, your hand still stroking him gently as you got on him again, but he took your hand away, “nuh-huh, if you touch my poor soldier again i’ll kill you — nah, scratch that, i’ll never stop talking again.”

yaps. i couldn’t picture him in anything but a sub scenario… i can’t imagine SETH being a DOM, like wdym he’s just a nerd — ok stop. anyway, live love laugh seth cohen. ALSO seth edit

THE O.C. 2.07 FAMILY TIES

GameStop won't stop. GME is kicking off it's Bitcoin reserve with a US$1.3 billion convertible note offering, following the Saylor/MSTR playbook 🚀

[baeyunsae]

First of all, HERE COMES THE BLAME, must be really close to armageddon.

Second of all, failed CEO? Ryan Cohen sold Chewy to Petsmart for billions of dollars. Please tell me how that's a failure. People using Chewy instead of Amazon is not a failure in my book. Gamestop Q2 2023 was out of the park- virtually no debt and with billions of cash on hand.

Third, we don't give a fuck about BBBY.

Fourth, are you dumb enough not to realize it's the system that's rigged? After 2008, shit did NOT get fixed. Naked shorting is literally a crime that these fools get away with because they've got money to pay politicians and big named cunts. We're not doing anything but directly registering our shares to be in OUR name to prevent naked shorting.

Fifth, do better research. GameStop isn't the reason the market will crash, please read a damn book.

Sixth, and last, how dare you put up a video that's named, "This is Financial Advice"? Ironic or not, there are people who would listen to this slightly difficult-to-understand video. If you're not familiar with the economic/financial jargon- there's literally better, easier to understand, and much shorter videos than this.

If you have a brain, do NOT listen to anyone who isn't YOUR financial advisor that you seeked out yourself. Learn more about the situation with this legitimate paper, no bias-just facts.

Remember when some redditors propped up Gamestop stock to prank Wall Street traders…

only to become an apocalyptic cult, appointing the failed CEO of a pet supply shop as their oracle

and themselves as the righteous faithful out to expose Wall Street corruption through the beleaguered vessels of Gamestop and Bed Bath and Beyond, whose second coming will crash the market and allow the real (not fake) stock owners to exploit a glitch that grants them infinite money, lets them hold the world monetary system to ransom, forces the US government to accede to all their demands, anoints them god-kings, and transforms the world.

No really. This is a comic, tragic, what-the-fuck-is-happening-you-can't-be-serious-oh-hell-they-are-serious video that I highly recommend, along the same lines as that "A BOOMERANG!" takedown of Sherlock. It's funny but it's long, good background for knitting, phone games, or doing chores.

(The author's "Line Go Up" vid on crypto and nfts is also amazing— but more sobering, as their cultists proponents really do have some impact on the real world.)

i like to go back and reread the book sometimes and i already can't really take him seriously but cohen essentially being ryan's only real propagandist is actually fucking hysterical. if i was trying to manage a city that's on the brink of an all out war because of my terrible economic ideals and the only person that i can count on to make a bunch of art to sway people back to my side is someone im already starting to suspect is a musical terrorist i think i would've blown everything to smithereens and start a new city
