This is just what women do. It’s a survival mechanism. They do what they need to do to fit in and ensure that they’re not ostracized by society. That’s why they’re so obsessed with fashion and current trends. Women are the de facto normies. What does this mean when it for GameStop? The number of GameStop enjoyers has reached a point of critical mass, causing these whores to want to “join the tribe” and mate with its men. Their primal instincts are telling them that this will benefit them and their offspring. Women have no sense of honor or duty. They stand at the finish line and pick the WINNERS. Simple as.

Retard. Securities sold not yet purchased specifically refers to naked short positions created as part of market making activity. In other words, when someone goes to buy shares in an illiquid stock and the market maker can’t find shares to sell them right away, they create shares to sell them under the assumption that they will locate and purchase the shares at a later date and hopefully (for the market maker) at a lower price. When this is done, it puts a short position on their books. Since their intention, presumably, is not to short the stock, this doesn’t get factored into the reported short interest. Instead, they file it under securities sold not yet purchased. Typically, these shorts will be covered in a matter of days and make up a small percentage of overall volume (represented in the reported volume as short exempt). The fact that citadel has whopping 65 billion dollars filed under securities sold not yet purchased indicates that they have simply chosen not to repurchase these shares and have been refusing to for a very long time. The reason is most likely either because they don’t like the price and are confident it will go lower or because they lack the funds to do so. The side effect of them refusing to purchase these shares is that it’s artificially increasing the supply, which subsequently lowers the price due to the basic laws of supply and demand. While short exempt trades are made off-exchange, they still effect the price in this way.

The problem with crypto games is that the devs are way too fucking greedy. These motherfuckers are out here trying to sell skins for hundreds of dollars. Would you pay hundreds of dollars for a skin in fortnite or overwatch or whatever game? No, you wouldn’t, and neither would the people who already spend money on such things. What the devs should be doing is making the base price for this stuff like 2 bucks a pop, then when supply runs out, the market for those items runs itself and the devs can take a cut of every transaction. They should be giving some of this stuff away for free too. For example, let’s say you earn loot boxes by playing the game for a certain amount of time, completing challenges, getting points, whatever, you all know how it works. Then, you’ve got your rarities that might be like grey=common blue=uncommon gold=rare legendary=purple. All they have to do is make the purple skins/sprays/tags/whatever NFTs that they literally give away in loot boxes. This is what’s going to make people want to play these games. This shit costs like nothing to mint, so they spend a little to make a lot. People who don’t care about skins are gonna be like “sweet! I pulled legendary, I’ll just offer it for like 10 cents below market price and it’s free money!” People who pay money for skins and loot boxes are gonna be like “sweet! This guy is offering this skin at 10 cents below market price! I’m gonna buy that shit!” And of course, all of this stuff should have a limited supply. Put half in the in-game store and half in loot boxes to prevent people from scalping and there ya go. You now have an economy where people actually trade your shit. On top of all this, of course, the game needs to actually be good. There are basically three types of games where these things are going to work: competitive online games (read: shooters), MMOs, and gacha. The easiest one of these games to make is gacha. You can have AI do like 99.9% of the work for you.
