Other comments in this thread are claiming bitcoin makes it much easier to launder money. So which is it? Zero privacy or increased privacy and anonymity?

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest the group with teams of PhDs writing high frequency trading algorithms might have an advantage over a dude with a Robinhood account.

> that means a ton of people are losing the life savings they dumped into this out of excitement as it crashed back down Can you provide a single case of someone losing their entire life savings by YOLOing it on GME at the top?

Zero commission trade is actually bullshit anyway. You end up losing more from inferior execution time than you would if you just paid the $5 per trade. Robin Hood also lied to users about this and ended up paying a $65 million fine[0]. [0]

I mean the WSB user count has grown from 2.2m on Monday to now 7.5m. If 5 million of those users all bought $100 worth of GME that's half a billion, if they bought $1000, that's 5 billion.

Yeah, it's a little confusing, SI is on the left. It's dropped from 70m to 58m in the past month, but 58m is still above the float @ 49.6m [0] [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/ip6j

Also trying to understand this. According to S3[0] many short positions are still open, but it is unclear if these are the original shorts, or new if new shorts were opened at the higher price point. In other news, Melvin Capital is down 53

Also why would they not send a message out ahead of time if this was the case? Surely they were aware of this potential risk? Completely unacceptable to not inform users ahead of time.

Robin hood is done. Potentially thousands and thousands of dollars could have been lost. Maybe it was a liquidity issue, who knows, but not even giving your customers some sort of warning that they would block purchasing? Completely unaccep

Both can be true. Citadel, the hedge fund that bailed out Melvin Capital (the hedge fund that over shorted GME) is Robin Hood's largest client. So it could be there was incentive for Robin Hood to ban trading on behalf of Citadel and t

As Chomsky[0] I think rightly points out, the suffering and grievances of trump supporters is real, but unfortunately they are unable to correctly identify the cause of their suffering. Evidence seems to support this as deaths of despair ha

In a theoretical world, sure. In reality it is government actors that are twisting the arms' of tech companies to remove unapproved speech. So I'm not so sure a government controlled ISP/payment processor/video platform

Do you think payment processors and ISPs should be able to deny service to customers for any arbitrary reason as well?

I am rejecting that premise, yes. If you expect major news outlets to accurately report the truth, and believe we should only rely on their interpretation of reality, you are misled. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8mP2jN6b

This constant pushing of stories about Fake News and Misinformation makes it really feel like there's a concerted effort to alter public opinion on censorship and free speech.

Mainstream press also has the ability to publish and amplify disinformation, and they do[0]. The internet is a hugely important tool that can be used to shed light on actual power structures and their atrocities. This good of exposing evil
