  • I knew about COVID way ahead of the general population because of WallStreetBets (WSB). Before becoming what it is now after the Game Stop thing, WSB was a little known gambling subreddit of degenerates that jokingly called themselves autists after that guy that made millions predicting the 2008 subprime lending collapse (Michael Burry).

    Users on WSB were predicting a major disruption because of some new virus in China and were betting against the market. There was a day where the market just suddenly went into freefall. It had 2 circuit breakers (stop all trading for 15 mins to prevent a disastrous runaway collapse) in one day. While the entire world was going to hell because of a deadly outbreak and resulting collapse of the global economy, the users of WSB were cheering it on because they were making a few thousand bucks.

    It was one of the most ridiculous experiences I had ever witnessed and been a part of. I am so happy to have been there for it.
