Lmao no kidding, after reading your comment I went to google and typed in "reddit crypto gamestop nfts" and the second result was literally a 100% serious post from Superstonks 2 days ago titled "Why Gamestop's NFT Marketplace Closure Is A Great Sign". Forget bitcoin, if you want to get rich just invest in copium instead

GameStop could go completely out of business and they would still manage to find a way to continue the copium.

There's even an example of that with a related cult, the Bed Bath and Beyond guys. Said company went under, but the memestock holders still continued the copium.

Stonks are at 1 cent, buy and hodl! Diamondhands!

That's literally the new hyped plan and the reason the stock got a bump a few weeks ago.

The new idea is GameStop will become a holding company like Berkshire Hathaway as if Ryan Cohen is the next Warren Buffett.

A lot of people who were into Gamestop didn't want them to get into NFTs like that anyway in the first place.
