it seems like a good time to remind everyone what the real win of the gamestop saga was
finally shining light on how badly manipulated the traditional markets are by corporates and governments
normal people took advantage of the same system, the same market that big hedge funds and institutions use to make money and profit for decades
they short squeezed a $13B hedge fund into the ground in a FULLY LEGAL way with NORMAL market actions.. literally buying stocks
and what did the corrupt corporates and government do?
they werent happy, they portrayed this as a danger to the free market.. how ironic, these markets are clearly not free
they took to all the media they own and condemmed the use of markets by normal people, they lobbied for tighter regulation of retail traders... thats normal people trading stocks on free trading apps
this is how the wealthy use markets all along, but now its a problem because normal people made them lose at their own game
all the free trading apps, most notably robinhood, restricted trading of GME and some other meme stocks for retail users, but guess what... all the hedge funds could still trade the stocks easily
everyone left 1 star reviews on robinhood, and guess what, google got rid of ~100,000 of these reviews
what did the government do? they literally had a senate hearing on the whole GME thing, soon as retail makes some money, they have a literal senate hearing about it... let that sink in
gamestop showed that the entire corporate and government system is against us the people, it works fine when they make the money and exploit us, but as soon as regular people want to play, they will do absolutely everything to maintain their grip
the craziest part of all this is, when people win in markets, the money goes to society, it helps families, it gets spent and stimulates the economy helping others, when the corporates win, every dollar goes back into further exploiting us, they cannot have us win
the traditional system is literally rigged against you
crypto is the wild west but it is a real free market
there are no circuit breakers, market pauses, no broker can stop you buying or selling something onchain
wHaTs tHe VaLuE oF CrYpTo.. LITERALLY THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST VALUE PROPS YOU FCK
it is retails only chance at some real financial freedom through markets
boycott tradfi
choose crypto

.@NewStoryHomes has been working on a pilot in El Salvador in partnership with @Coinbase, equipping unbanked families to make digital mortgage payments.
This is the first time low-income, unbanked families are using this technology to successfully pay for their homes and build credit.
The utility of using the lightning network /Bitcoin solves the problem of 1) traveling with cash to make monthly payments, 2) untrustworthy pen and paper accounting records, 3) not having a clear, trusted credit history.
From what we’ve experienced, not only are families making successful payments, but the training yields exposure to technology and financial education.
Still a lot to learn and improve, but I’m proud of the team for persisting with a controversial pilot that has the potential for much wider adoption this decade.

In todays market, any game in web3 will be judged based on its ability to pump bags. We are a self-funded small team of 6 full time employees. We are not building a AAA experience, rather an art forward causal economic sim game. What we are launching this month is a MVP V1 and we will get to V100 fast with your feedback.
We are already starting on the next phases of the game like in-depth resource + crafting economy, fantasy sports style mech racing/battling, customized virtual real estate, user-owned stores and businesses, and so much more.
With our small but mighty team, we made a decision early on to not try to compete on the most impressive 3d gameplay, but focus on building the most in-depth economic sim within web3. We want people to build their own empire within the Paradigm Found. This is the beginning.
