The Story

How Retail Beat Wall Street

The Discovery

Late 2020

r/WallStreetBets notices that GameStop has over 140% short interest — more shares shorted than actually exist. Hedge funds had bet billions that GameStop would fail. The community saw an opportunity.

The Squeeze

January 2021

Retail investors pile in. The stock rockets from $17 to $483 in days. Hedge funds lose billions as short positions implode. Melvin Capital needs a $2.75 billion bailout. The world watches in disbelief.

The Halt

January 28, 2021

Robinhood and other brokers restrict buying of GameStop. You can only sell, not buy. The system is exposed — the game was rigged to protect Wall Street. Congressional hearings follow.

Diamond Hands

2021 — Forever

Despite every obstacle, the community holds. The message is clear: retail investors can move markets, challenge the establishment, and refuse to be silenced. Diamond hands become a movement.

GameStop stock chart showing the January 2021 squeeze

January 2021 — a stock that traded under $5 for years exploded past $120 in weeks. Retail investors proved that when a community believes in something, no hedge fund can stop it. The candle that towers above everything else? That's the squeeze.

Now we're doing it again.

On Solana. No brokers. No halts. No middlemen. Just diamond hands and a community that refuses to fold.

The Legend

Roaring Kitty

Keith “Roaring Kitty” Gill

The man who liked the stock

A financial advisor at an insurance company in Massachusetts. Not a hedge fund manager. Not a Wall Street insider. Just a guy who did the research, saw that GameStop was over-shorted past 140%, and believed the stock was undervalued.

He bought in around $5 with $53,000 of his own money. He posted his position on Reddit for months and got mocked. He held when it dropped. He held when it hit $48 million. He testified before Congress and doubled down the very next day. Then he went silent — no goodbye, no explanation. Just 200,000 shares and a legend.

Three years later he came back with a single meme. GME jumped 80% overnight. His position: 5 million shares and 120,000 call options — worth roughly $300 million. Melvin Capital, the hedge fund that bet against GameStop? Shut down permanently.

Reddit, when asked when he'd sell

One man proved it was possible.

Keith Gill didn't have an army. He had conviction and a Reddit account. Now imagine what happens when a whole community has that same energy — no brokers to shut it down, no halts, no middlemen. Just Solana and diamond hands. If we all channel our inner Roaring Kitty, the squeeze never ends.
