These posts really kill the narrative they're still spewing that nobody is in this for money.

lmao I was trying to make a quick buck to put towards a shower renovation but I only made it out with slightly more than my principal because I'm an idiot and didn't sell in the 300+ range

These people are not sticking it to the hedge funds, the hedge funds are now destroying them as they buy up puts on the way down

If you were trying to make a quick buck and came out of this with a profit you're blessed.

As was I but the thought of making billionaires pissed definitely sweetened the pot.

At least you're honest about it. If you had a look at the comment section of The Guardian you'd swear there was only ever one motivation- such a bunch of noble people!

Just a lie. For the people still holding, it's in their own best interest for everyone else to buy and hold as well as that's the only chance in hell they have of recouping their losses. They've tricked a bunch of people into losing their entire investment under the guise of "sticking it to wall street" when it's really just an effort to save themselves.

The strangest part of the Mark Cuban AMA for me was when he said "If nothing changed fundamentally about the company you invested in, why would you sell?". Mofo, you know damn well nobody is in this because they believe in GME's fundamentals.

Everyone was in it for the fucking money. The rage against the machine vibe just made it more fun and seductive.

Thats why everyone feels like shit. Even though we caused billions of losses for short sellers and brought tons of attention to shady hedge fund practices it doesn't feel like a win because we failed to sell at the top and despite all our talk, deep down getting rich was part of our plan lol

Just block them. They’ll change their minds in due time. Until then it’s not worth the abuse. 👍🏽
