This post tightly fits what I want to see in this community. Anti-corporate sentiment and “good news” for non corporate entities.

    When buying Bitcoin during one of its pump and dumps is more predictable and profitable that your IPO. I don’t mean this as a positive for Bitcoin but as a way to showcase how bad of an investment Reddit was to begin with.

      Makes perfect sense! Thanks for contributing.

      Someone recently mentioned that IPOs nowadays are just a scam. I tend to believe them. Just the banks and the buddies filling up their pockets. I‘m sad that stuff doesnt work like in the movie the wolf of wallstreet. Just get them on collusion and jail em.

        I do think that IPOs initially did what they say: gather money and allow a company to start up properly. Over the past 20 years, though, the system has been completely gamified and now it’s just a way for people to legally pump and dump, with only a few companies actually making something useful among all the mess.
