Are you ready for fireworks?
[10]
An explosive financial summer??
[13]
Well there’s about to be a colossal collision that brings together the two groups that legacy
[18]
finance is oh so scared of.
[21]
Crypto and Degenerate stonk traders, like the ones from Wall St. Bets.
[26]
So, my question to you is this…..do you smeeeellllllllllllllll what GME is cooking!?
[33]
I do, because it’s time for Chico Crypto!!
[39]
Errr body in club knows about GME!!
[42]
Gamestop stonk….it’s what set off the financial fireworks at the beginning of the
[47]
year!
[48]
January 2021, a short squeeze of the stock of the American video game retailer GameStop
[53]
, caused major financial consequences for certain hedge funds and large losses for the
[58]
nasty short sellers.
[61]
This short squeeze was primarily triggered by users of the subreddit r/wallstreetbets...but
[67]
soon after a number of hedge funds also participated.
[71]
At its height, on January 28, the short squeeze caused the GME stock price to reach a pre-market
[77]
value of over US$500 per share, nearly 30 times the $17.25 valuation at the beginning
[86]
of the month.
[88]
Now this battle is far from over, as you can see the stock price got rekted back down to
[94]
below 50 dollars, just past mid february...but it started to rise once again and into March
[101]
broke back above 300 dollars, although it has since settled back down below, and looking
[108]
at the price today, GME is 222 buckaroos!!
[112]
GME since March is consolidating, and finding a range…..before the NEXT BIG MOVE…
[118]
And Chico Crypto thinks that move is WAY the freak up….another massive short squeeze
[125]
is on the horizon!
[126]
There are hints that it’s coming this summer….
[130]
What hints?
[131]
Well don’t you remember last week...when the news dropped about gamestop getting into
[135]
crypto with the mysterious release of a landing page.
[140]
Nft.gamestop.com
[141]
It shows a gamestop video game cartridge, with an Ethereum Logo on it.
[147]
That gets plugged into an Ethereum game player.
[150]
This causes it to power up and read: Power to the players, Power to the creators, power
[156]
to the collectors.
[158]
Exciting to say the least, now are you Ready to dive down the Chico Crypto Rabbit hole
[163]
which is gonna get really tight, squeezable tight?
[166]
Let’s begin, before the first squeeze even happened.
[172]
Last year, November of 2020 Ryan Cohen founder of Chewy.com and former CEO, disclosed to
[178]
the public his large stake in Gamestop, nearly 10 percent and he sent this letter to the
[184]
Board.
[186]
He explained in bold they were failing because of their unwillingness to embrace the digital
[191]
economy.
[192]
Yeah, digital….the non-physical world.
[195]
Then once again, in bold this was said ā€œGamestop’s Leadership must promptly pivot from a brick-and-mortar
[202]
mindset to a technology-driven visionā€
[205]
He specifies what this means below.
[208]
ā€œA pivot toward becoming a technology-driven business that excels in the gaming and digital
[214]
experience worldsā€ He says this could be done by ā€œcutting its excessive real estate
[219]
costs and hiring the right talent, it will have the resources to begin building a powerful
[225]
e-commerce platform that provides competitive pricing, broad gaming selection, fast shipping
[232]
and a truly high-touch experience that excites and delights customers.ā€
[237]
Well that shook the board to the core, as Ryan is now in charge and the chairman of
[243]
the Gamestop board….
[245]
Now going back to what ryan said in the letter...this relates a ton to what was just released nft.gamestop.com...nfts
[255]
are the future of the gaming digital economy.
[258]
Ryan said gamestop was failing as they weren’t embracing this digital economy.
[264]
Ryan wanted a technology driven vision, which included hiring the right talent!
[269]
Ok bringing Ryan on board was the first step in that...and since Ryan has been on a spree!
[275]
Getting top talent from the best: Amazon, Chewy, Facebook, Google and more….
[280]
But there were some BIG hires made for this NFT based project too which I think relates
[285]
more to that letter and vision.
[287]
Matt Finestone announced he would be building the blockchain division for Gamestop through
[291]
his twitter last week.
[294]
But Who is Matt?
[295]
Matt was the business development director for Loopring, the creators of the first publicly
[300]
accessible ZK rollup for the Ethereum mainnet which has been live and evolving for 18 months
[307]
now.
[308]
It’s a well known and secure scaling solution, that even Vitalik called out for users to
[312]
start using it in September of 2020.
[316]
It’s a strong Ethereum project technically and Matt is the top talent that helped get
[321]
it to where it is!!
[324]
Who else has been hired?
[326]
Well a foobar tweeted he had joined matt, in early May, even before the announcement.
[330]
Who is Foobar?
[332]
Well he is top NFT solidity talent, working on some of the bigger Ether NFTprojects.
[338]
From his profile...mooncats and cryptopunks.
[341]
The other person we know that is hired is Spike, a top talent NFT designer who has done
[347]
some work with decentraland…
[350]
So this vision of Ryan’s is in motion, a Plan that he had a LONG time ago & his plan
[356]
includes the definitive future of gaming and digital worlds.
[361]
NFTs….
[362]
So what is Gamestop’s plan with the NFTs?
[365]
Well it’s obvious from the landing page.
[368]
It’s an Ethereum gamestop cartridge, getting plugged into an Ethereum based gameplayer.
[373]
They are going to be turning video game titles into NFTs that are powered by Ethereum and
[381]
it’s virtual machine!
[382]
Purchasers can finally resell their used digital games, which has been impossible in the past.
[389]
The retailer and the studios could get royalties after every secondary sale, forever….
[399]
But how will they get the publishers, studios, and more on board?
[403]
Xbox, Playstation, and more have a grip and hold on that?
[408]
Well what did the player say when the game was turned on?
[412]
Power to the players, power to the creators, power to the collectors.
[418]
Obviously Gamestop is going to be pulling a Netflix...What does this mean?
[423]
They will be pushing to get the smaller studios on board first and they will be creating their
[431]
own content, their own games...they will be pushing forward the first use case NFT use
[438]
case at a large scale.
[440]
This doesn’t just put them as a leader in digital gaming, but a leader in NFTs, which
[446]
means they will even have an upper hand on the digital landscape of gaming than something
[450]
like STEAM.
[451]
So, this is BIG but when could something like this be coming and why would it cause a GME
[457]
stonk squeeze???
[459]
Well the nft website, below had an ethereum address…
[464]
Using Etherscan, and checking out the address.
[466]
It’s for a Token (Gamestop GME)!
[469]
A token, now why would they need their own token gamestop GME?
[474]
Unless they were planning to do something else, besides NFTs.
[479]
You can click on contract within Ethere scan to check out the code, and within this you
[484]
find Gamestop Anon..written at the top... but further into the code, you can find thisā€¦ā€uint
[492]
public launch date=1626261600ā€
[496]
That is a unix timestamp, and if we convert it, the public launch date is coming July
[506]
14th 2021!!
[509]
That is only in a month and a half friends, and if you go back to Foobar’s tweet about
[514]
being brought on for the project, he said it’s going to be HUGE from the start…
[520]
But there is more to this than meets the eye & gamestop gave some BIG hints on the day
[525]
they dropped the landing page, May 17th 2021.
[527]
On the landing page, is the biggest HINT of all.
[529]
There is a tiny white dot in the corner, if you click that it takes you to a new page
[535]
that has what was in the source Ethereum code.
[538]
Game on Anon, but also a Cat in a banana suit, which is a game, you press space to start
[546]
and it’s you on the moon, jumping over stuff…
[549]
Why is this important?
[551]
Well that Cat in the Banana suit, is from a Japanese Animated series Bananya, where
[556]
these entities, Bananya’s come from a magical tree in outer space.
[561]
The series ended in 2016, and it’s popularity isn’t anything new, it's old...so why does
[567]
Gamestop have a Bananya in that game on the NFT website?
[572]
Well as you can see, they have a Plush Toy that was recently released on a funny date
[577]
of 4/20.
[580]
It’s a gamestop exclusive, and as we can see in the description…..it’s squeezable!!!
[589]
That Game is a total hint of a squeeze on GME stonk, that is coming.
[594]
It’s coming on or around the UNIX Timestamp they hinted at in the code.
[599]
July 14th 2021.
[602]
Why the squeeze?
[610]
The GME Token, is a token for crypto dividends, that will be announced then.
[616]
GME is pulling an overstock!
[619]
What happened with Overstock?
[621]
In the summer of 2020 they announced a crypto dividend to be paid to its shareholders.
[627]
This caused a massive short squeeze on the stock.
[631]
Why?
[632]
Overstock was the sole source of that crypto, and they did not distribute it into the public.
[637]
When they announced the dividend, there was ZERO supply for this crypto.
[642]
Shorts were 100% incapable of covering the cost of paying the dividend, and they only
[647]
option they had was to cover.
[651]
The shorters, hedge funds etcetera went after Overstock filing lawsuits...but Judges ruled
[662]
in favor of Overstock, thus cementing that this digital dividend is good to GO!
[668]
And finally, there is this hint from the Ryan Cohen CEO.
[673]
At the exact same time, the contract was released for the NFTs, Ryan tweeted something…
[681]
This tweet is a clip from American Dad, with one of their characters getting a hard on,
[686]
in shorts which floats them to the top.
[690]
Short Floats?
[691]
Short float shows the percentage of shares that are shorted relative to the number of
[696]
float shares and this percentage reflects the market sentiment about the underlying
[702]
company.
[703]
Ryan was tweeting Shorts are about to GET REKT.
[707]
Cheers I’ll see you next time!
