(This is a stub reply so I can collapse the various comments responding to this, so as not to distract too much from the topic at hand. (Sorry, non-JS users.))

You can also add YouTube-dl and GitHub.

You mean to comments about Robinhood on those sites? Links would be helpful.

Edit: I don't think I'm following you.

What is your hope for reforming the ability of a single person to keep repeating a lie and nearly causing an insurrection?

That it should be up to congress and law enforcement - people that are accountable to the public, to make these rules. Everything about what twitter did was stupid. They let him talk for years, and then finally stopped him at the worst time. They cancelled him when there was little more damage he could do and ruined ideas of free speech neutrality and it allowed his ilk to claim censorship and it helped with making h…

It's really hard not to think that Twitter's timing had alot to do with their stock price. It's hard to boot the user driving the most engagement on your platform.

Yeah I can't wait to live in a world where we enable more financial market mobbing by the uninformed and emotional masses. What could go wrong? Tune will change when RSUs and 401ks get effected.

I don’t know about you, but the vast majority of people I know don’t have RSUs nor 401ks.

About 1/3 of Americans have a 401k. The RSU snipe was just for the orange website crowd.

The SEC has led the charge of government agencies away from anything that could reasonably be called regulation. Take note of how often the term 'oversight' is used vs 'regulation' when these guys are talking.

> how often the term 'oversight' is used vs 'regulation' when these guys are talking. Is that how we're determining efficacy now...? Semantics? I take it that you like FINRA because of the R in the name.

What? My point is that they see themselves as mall cops observing and reporting, not actively regulating behavior. That makes a pretty big difference in efficacy.

Most of the other brokerages (Schwab, Etrade, and TD Ameritrade, but NOT Fidelity and Vanguard according to the reports I am getting) are participating. According to the rumor on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/ClassActionRobinHood/comments/l723k... the call came from the White House.

Schwab made GME non-marginable on 1/13. You can buy GME with your own settled cash on Schwab just fine. It has been tested.

The crazy rumors aside, at least this whole mess has clarified for me which brokerages to give my business to and which ones to boycott. It is the free market afterall, and people will be choosing with their $$$ which ones to support and which ones to boycott. The 1 star rating, while a bit extreme, also is part of the same idea.

You also kinda had it coming when you called yourself "robin hood" and then immediately bent over the moment the slightest challenge appeared.

Just as I was wondering how many retail investors might be involved: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25947674 From the number of Playstore votes it seems quite a few? Will be interesting to see if it stays that way. Or if they can somehow cheat their way out of it and get all recent ratings deleted or something. Any guesses?

Optimally the result is Robin Hood is removed from the play and apple store for willfully defrauding their customers. Very real damages were suffered as a result of their willful actions. There was no warning and there was no way they did not know harm would come. Also if no retail traders could buy, who was buying the shares that they were forced to sell? If it was the short hedge funds, that has got to be a criminal conspiracy level charge.

There was a relevant document posted earlier today at this link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25942632 .

DeFi is a core component of my ETH bull hypothesis. All this decentralized activity requires the purchase of ETH to pay for/transact on.

Solana seems like a better fit for DeFi than ETH. It is also much higher performance, which is very important for DeFi.

Disclaimer: I don't hold solana or ETH.

I think this is possible, but do we know for a fact this is the case? Melvin claims they already got out of the GME trade. They could be lying, but they would open themselves to a lawsuit from investors if they were. I'm not sure if Citadel can just refuse to purchase GME (RH could just go elsewhere), but maybe they said they wouldn't pay RH anymore for order flow unless they blocked it. But do we know that Citadel d…

Melvin could have "gotten out" by selling their position to Citadel for all we know.

The number of shares short is still the same as a week ago, about 70 million.
