Are you ready for the attention?

 

Are you ready for the attention?

 

Are you ready for the eyeballs?

 

The constant judgement?

 

I don’t know.

 

I don’t think anyone is ever really ready. You just have to do you and deal with whatever happens.

 

You know though that if your predictions come true, that’s history.

 

That’s something no one else has.

 

That’s a different level of attention.

 

The cool thing is so many other people by now have figured it out.

 

People online who are following Superstonk or the Gamestop saga are now realizing how massive this could be for the world.

 

The largest transfer of wealth in history from institutions to retail.

 

Because of the Internet and social media.

 

Something which hadn’t existed in previous crashes.

 

Society is smarter now.

 

People are more educated.

 

They can smell bullshit from a mile away.

 

The Internet is also undefeated.

 

Never challenge the Internet to anything because you will always lose.

 

That’s what Wall Street did when it shut off the buy button in January 2021.

 

People don’t recognize how impactful that event was.

 

Hundreds of thousands of people probably made money when Gamestop first hit, but then millions more jumped in. As they jumped in, they kept doing homework and looking into the whole financial system. Turns out they might have uncovered exactly how Wall Street has been screwing main street for so many years.

 

The most beautiful thing about this is how simple it is.

 

All that has to happen is enough people to buy a stock and hold it. That’s it.

 

Because you can get a company that is shorted more than the total shares outstanding.

 

How is that possible?

 

It’s not but Wall Street has no penalties. They’re happy to pay millions of dollars when they’re making billions of dollars.

 

People figured that out and brought more people in. The more people get into this, the bigger the hole Wall Street has put itself into.

 

They’re finished.

 

They have no way out.

 

The question is how long does this last and does it eventually bankrupt Citadel?

 

Quite possibly.

 

Knowing how pissed off main street was during 2011 during the Occupy Wall Street protests, this is the same thing.

 

People want their money and I’m sure they’re willing to wait to get paid.

 

This event is going to be unlike anything the world has ever experienced, and I may have written about that.

 

With that comes attention.

 

It comes eyeballs.

 

‘What else has this guy done?’

 

With that comes judgement and opinions.

 

Remember though, they’re on the sideline and you’re in the arena.

 

Who cares about the attention, focus on the work.
