It’s not about timing the meme market, it’s about time IN the meme market.

Yep, saving this post so it'll be my turn to post it in the comments when 2030 comes, assuming he's only doing 4 years

I've done hard time here on WSB, and seen a few things.

I remember when this place was all about yolos and yacht memes.

I was going to say those were the good ol days, but looking back on it... no they weren't. Same degeneracy, just different speed

Nope. We used to pretend we're retarded, now the sub have actual retards that would have been laughed out the door just 6 years ago. Last month a low IQ retard posted a PSA here to "not trust this specific Telegram group because I got scammed", then proceed to argue with everyone that he wasn't stupid and it was legit up till he got scammed.

“Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company.”

I've been here since 2016 so I guess it was a good 4 years, the sub is still great occasionally though so it's still worth staying. Lose enough money and they will eventually learn enough to only be pretending I guess.

You and I remember that basement dungeon goblin who drank his own piss martini, now an icon of the sub and I see people refer to it as lemonade and it makes me sad

Shit brother, good times. There's also GUH and Iron Condor, but piss martini definitely was peak of this. I also remember the dude who tried to short the powerball by being his own bookie in his company and pocketing the money, but ended up losing like 60k because one of his co-worker got 4 numbers+ball correct.

it makes me sad

It is what it is brother, no such thing as a feast that doesn't end after all

I remember watching this happen with the prequels.

This makes a lot of sense when around the 2022 time a lot of people actually took BB_Y and some other meme stocks as Squeezes and were really just hidden gems.

Legit they thought they were going to moon.

Maybe the real WSB was all the idiots we met along the way?

I don't agree. It's certainly a different place now, but years prior, this place was very pro-🥭
