A thing not having happened before does not bar it from ever happening. Retail direct registering a 3rd of a publically traded company never happened before and yet gme did it. I've never been shot before, but if someone sketchy is walking towards me with his hand suspiciously in his pocket I'm not going to deny the possibility of those small hints.

It comes down to cost benefit analysis. Take the amount of circumstancial evidence, weight what you stand to lose or gain from taking a particular action, consider how much you want to risk in said action, take your desired action.

In my case for instance. In the event you're right the following happens.

You gain:
nothing

I lose:
roughly 1K USD

in the event I am right.
you gain:
nothing

I gain:
immense life changing generational wealth

I personally think that what I've seen is enough to place that bet, as the potential upsides are hundreds of magnitudes greater than the potential minor losses. You do not share such an opinion, and have opted not to place said risk. However, your continued insistance that I reorient my thinking to mirror yours when you believe this is supposedly over with no way for either of us to change our already chosen course is suspicious. Thusly I'm inclined to believe you are either motivated by monetary means, or just one of those egotistical people that has a very intense need to not only be right about something but also force everyone else to acknowledge that rightness.

tl;dr I bet because I like the odds, you folded. The last card is being flipped and neither of us can change what's going to happen either way.
