Reply to 4 Trillion dollar corrective response by Theorysquatch

This is more, "I asked a rhetorical question with all the smugness but got burned by the response".

Kinda like when those people from a US morning show asked a fashion designer about what she knew about political topics, and she said, "It's because I read the books and did my due diligence on that topoc". The "gotcha" question got them instead of her.

It's a thing of beauty.

My strategy of doing completely opposite of what WSB says did pay out; everyone started shitting on bears and imagining new bull runs and i was like "K its time to short" I even 10x leveraged that shit. Too bad it was still a wimpy sum, but hey free money is free.

Reply to comment by VisualMod in Is it possible to artificially start a bank run? by ScaleAppropriate

A bank run is a situation where a large number of customers withdraw their deposits from a bank at the same time because they believe that the bank may become insolvent. It is possible to artificially start a bank run by creating a bot that would post fearmongering messages about banks running out of money, but it's also possible that people would see through the deception and not take your advice.
