Do you remember the shocking short squeeze battle on Wall Street?

A retail investor bet their entire $50,000 net worth on GME stock, and this bold decision later yielded astonishing returns in 2021. This case became an iconic story for retail investors—proving the possibility that retail investors can unite to challenge institutional power.

This movement goes far beyond traditional finance. It demonstrates the power of decentralization, community consensus, and the genuine influence of market participants. These concepts now deeply influence the development of the cryptocurrency community. From short-term trading to long-term holding, every decision by retail investors is reshaping the market landscape.

50,000 fully invested in GME? Dude, this is gambling, not investing. I have lost like this before... Later I continued to lose in the crypto world, and now I am the Reverse Indicator myself. When others surge, I do the Rug Pull.

ngl GME that wave was truly a moment of awakening... retail investors uniting to fight against Wall Street vultures, and this logic was taken even further in crypto later on

The guy who went all-in with $50,000 on GME is incredible. This is true faith. --- That wave of GME was actually the prelude to Web3, the beginning of retail investors awakening. --- Decentralization is now truly taking root in the crypto world, much more intense than in the stock market. --- To be honest, I wasn't in the scene back then. Looking back now, I realize GME was the door that opened our eyes. --- Going all-in on a single stock? That kind of courage would have been zero in the crypto world long ago, haha. --- It's tough to handle. Wall Street's biggest fear is our retail investor unity. Now the crypto community is even crazier. --- Every time I see the GME story, I get pumped, but real world change still depends on blockchain. --- If we had Discord back then, there wouldn't be so many troubles. The flow of information would have been completely different.

What happened to the guy who bet all 50,000 on GME? He hasn't been trapped again, right... Decentralization sounds great, but looking back, retail investors in the crypto circle are still getting cut.
