But..but...moass?

Don’t worry. The meme stock bros will come up with a new stupid narrative about how this was always part of the plan and how no one actually believed the NFT marketplace was the catalyst for moass. Just trust the plan and keep holding.

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.
