2021 - GameStop Short Squeeze. Date: January 2021, peak 28 January · Place: r/wallstreetbets, Robinhood, NYSE · Figures: Keith Gill (DeepFuckingValue, Roaring Kitty) · Melvin Capital, Gabe Plotkin · Robinhood, Vlad Tenev · Tags: WSB, Short Squeeze, Memes As Capital 01. DFV's Position Keith Gill, posting on r/wallstreetbets as DeepFuckingValue and on YouTube as Roaring Kitty, has been long GameStop since 2019. By summer 2020 he is screenshotting his E*TRADE account on the subreddit, a position that grows from $53,000 of GME calls into something other people start to copy. By January 2021 Melvin Capital is short 140% of GameStop's float. WSB notices. The squeeze that follows is the first time a coordinated meme-economy crowd moves a stock against a hedge fund with enough force to threaten its existence. 02. $483 Then Robinhood Pulls The Buy Button GME prints $483 intraday on 28 January 2021. The same morning Robinhood and several other retail brokers restrict buying of GME, AMC, and a handful of meme tickers, citing clearinghouse collateral requirements. To WSB it looks like the casino unplugging the machine while the player is winning. Melvin Capital takes a $4.5B loss and shuts down by 2022.

The Vernacular Wins The squeeze does not, in the end, redistribute wealth from hedge funds to retail. Most apes who bought above $200 are still underwater. What it does redistribute is legitimacy. After GameStop, meme language is finance language. CNBC anchors say diamond hands on air without flinching. Era VII is the era when the joke and the trade are the same action. GameStop is the day this becomes undeniable.

Date: February-April 2021 · Place: Twitter, Bitcoin maximalist accounts · Figures: Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy CEO · El Salvador President Nayib Bukele · Anthony Pompliano · Tags: Bitcoin Maxi, Visual Conformity, PFP 01. Saylor To $100K In February 2021 the Bitcoin maximalist Twitter account adds red laser eyes to its profile picture as a pledge to keep promoting Bitcoin until it hits $100,000. Michael Saylor leads the charge, joined within weeks by Anthony Pompliano, Nayib Bukele, Tom Brady, and Logan Paul. The aesthetic is borrowed from Cyclops, Magneto, and shitposted anime edits. Applied to Saylor's corporate headshot it is the most aggressively unironic thing in finance Twitter that year. 02. The Pledge That Did Not Cash Bitcoin peaks at $69,000 in November 2021 and falls to $15,000 a year later. $100K does not arrive in the cycle. The laser eyes stay on most accounts well past the bear bottom, an ambient flex of conviction that survives the price action. BTC finally clears $100,000 in December 2024. Most of the original laser-eye accounts have quietly removed them by then. Saylor still has his.

The sale is the legitimization event that makes BAYC, CryptoPunks, and the Disaster Girl auction six weeks later possible. Critics point out that Metakovan also runs the B.20 token, partially backed by Beeple's work, and that the sale raises the floor on his other holdings. Beeple, asked about it, says he is going to keep posting one image a day. "I view this as the next chapter in art history.

2021 - Mavericks Accept Dogecoin. Date: 4 March 2021 · Place: Dallas Mavericks, BitPay integration · Figures: Mark Cuban, owner · BitPay, payment processor · Dogecoin community · Tags: Dogecoin, Mainstream Adoption, NBA 01. Tickets And Merch In Doge On 4 March 2021 Mark Cuban announces the Dallas Mavericks will accept Dogecoin for tickets and merchandise via BitPay. It is the largest US sports franchise to take the joke coin as legal tender. Within a week the Mavs are the third-largest Dogecoin merchant on earth. Cuban frames the decision as a customer-service play. Doge holders, he says, are passionate, polite, and the transaction fees are pennies. He does not mention that DOGE/USD doubles on the news. 02. The Coin Built On A Shiba Dogecoin started in 2013 as a Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer parody of Bitcoin maximalism, named after the Shiba Inu Doge meme of 2010. For seven years it traded as a tip jar coin worth fractions of a cent. In the first quarter of 2021 it goes from $0.005 to $0.05 then to $0.74 by May, briefly worth $90B in fully diluted market cap. Cuban's Mavericks decision is the first time a major American institution treats a 2013 internet joke as a payment rail. It is the template for every brand-adopts-meme-coin press release that follows.

2021 - Bored Ape Yacht Club Launch.

The founders are four anonymous twenty-somethings posting under pseudonyms borrowed from cartoons. The collection sells out in twelve hours. The pitch is membership, not art. Each ape is a key to The Bathroom, a collaborative pixel canvas where holders draw together. Within six months it is also a key to ApeFest in New York, a $200M land sale (Otherside), and a Times Square billboard. 02. Identity As Property As Speculation By August 2021 the floor is 5 ETH. By April 2022 it is 153 ETH ($430,000). Jimmy Fallon shows his ape on The Tonight Show. Snoop Dogg, Stephen Curry, Justin Bieber, Madonna, Eminem all buy in. The ape PFP becomes the most concentrated signal of crypto-wealth identity since the laser-eye trend. BAYC is the moment the NFT discourse pivots from is this art to is this a country club. The answer turns out to be both. Yuga Labs raises at a $4B valuation in March 2022. 03. The Counter-Wave BAYC's success makes right-click save as a battle cry within weeks. Critics observe the apes can be jpeg-copied for free. Holders counter that the point is not the image but the cryptographic proof that you paid for it, an argument that resolves itself in 2022 when the floor collapses.

2021 - Coinbase Direct Listing (COIN). Date: April 14, 2021 · Place: Nasdaq, ticker COIN, direct listing (no underwriter) · Figures: Brian Armstrong, CEO and co-founder · Fred Ehrsam, co-founder · Emilie Choi, COO · Tags: IPO, Legitimacy, Top Signal, Nasdaq 01. The Photo on the Floor Coinbase opens at $381 a share and closes at $328.28, valuing the company near $86 billion fully diluted. The reference price is $250. There is no traditional IPO roadshow because it is a direct listing, the same vehicle Spotify and Slack used. The COIN ticker is the first US exchange listing of a pureplay crypto exchange. Crypto Twitter treats the listing as a coronation. Bitcoin trades to an all-time high of $64,895 the same morning. Within 24 hours both BTC and COIN start a slide that does not bottom for 18 months. The April 14 candle becomes the canonical top signal screenshot, captioned 'they rang the bell at the top.' 02. Bell at the Top The meme outlives the rally. Every subsequent cycle gets a 'Coinbase Super Bowl ad,' 'Coinbase IPO,' or 'Larry David FTX ad' tagged onto the chart as the contrarian sell trigger. The pattern is so reliable that traders begin treating Coinbase marketing spend as a sentiment indicator. Armstrong's 'we are the boring crypto company' framing becomes, in retrospect, an early version of the legitimacy / debasement tension that defines the rest of the cycle.
