In 2021, the stock market fever broke out on reddit and gamers shook up Wall Street with the GameStop stock. A film titled “Dumb Money” based on the true events will be released this year.
At the beginning of 2021, experts believed that the well-known retail chain GameStop could not survive in the long term. The reason for this was the digital sale of games. Therefore, established stock market experts bet on a low price for GameStop shares.
However, numerous gamers united on reddit and thwarted their plans. They bought GameStop shares in droves. Through memes, the initiative grew and became a viral internet phenomenon. Here you can read more about the events surrounding the GameStop movement .
