TD₿: GameStop vs. Bitcoin: The Real Revolution! - (a Swan original series) - with Dante Cook
TL;DR: Hedge funds are feeling the pain once again as 'Roaring Kitty' returns. Bitcoin back up to $63,000, erasing Friday's losses. Is this the beginning of another series of epic short squeezes?!
Hey Bitcoiners,
GameStop is back, as the meme stock is up over 110% on the day. Trading has been halted five times, and the frenzy has caused major exchanges to be shut down.
Dante takes a look into the similarities between the meme stock and Bitcoin revolutions and why Wall Street Bets represents a desire to change the system, but Bitcoin represents the solution that can actually change the system.
As the M2 money supply turns positive, could the next big Bitcoin rally be just around the corner?
Enjoy!
Tick tock next block,
Cory Klippsten

Quote of the Day
“Bitcoin is like early electricity. Raw, dangerous, seems very volatile and hard to use. With time it'll start to feel safer, easier and normal. Like electricity it will inspire and power new unimaginable industries. And one day we’ll wonder how did we live without it?”
- Obi-Wan Kenobit

Shape security and risk work alongside developers, security, and other teams. Work ahead of developer cycles to answer questions related to implementation, producing diagrams, flows, and ensuring that work is well specified and coordinated across teams.
Lead the team’s Shape Up process and prioritization across multiple services, business priorities, and new opportunities
Participate in threat modeling sessions with the broader security team on new and existing products, helping bring the client perspective to the table.
Work closely with the dev/sec/ops team to ensure that work produced by developers feeds downstream threat detection systems.
