TD₿: GameStop Stock Chaos! Dumb Money vs. Bitcoin - (a Swan original series) with Dante Cook
TL;DR: GameStop stocks halt as 650K watch Roaring Kitty. Is it coincidence or manipulation? Amid job losses, discerning truth is crucial.
Hey Bitcoiners,
In this episode of Bitcoin Daily, Dante covers the very strange end to the week for markets as over 650,000 people tune into Roaring Kitty’s live stream and GameStop stocks are again halted several times.
Is this a coincidence or manipulation?
Ordinary Americans want to see a good old-fashioned upset because times are hard out there, and many are struggling as full-time employment falls by over 625,000 jobs in May. Despite what the reports and algorithms tell you, will you be able to discern real money from dumb money and programming from the truth?
Enjoy!
Tick tock next block,
Cory Klippsten

Quote of the Day
“Bitcoin seems to be a very promising idea. I like the idea of basing security on the assumption that the CPU power of honest participants outweighs that of the attacker. It is a very modern notion that exploits the power of the long tail.”
- Hal Finney
