What do you think is going to happen? I think you've got delusions of grandeur.


I agree with random3455699 on this one.

This has happened again and again throughout history. Where a movement caused a system change. For instance, Carnation Revolution which led to Portugal being a democratic country.

And this is already happening on the stock market, where the system is being re-considered due to the nature of shorting. As Elon Musk put it "u can't sell houses u don't own u can't sell cars u don't own but u can sell stock u don't own!?"

If retail traders start buying a stock just due to it being low float and heavily shorted, the system will have to adapt... There's not much a Hedge Fund can do, when you talk about millions of retards buying shares because "they like the stock".


Maybe few people who know a thing or two about writing open source code will get together with a few who know a thing or two about markets and trading. Maybe some open source tools that everyone can use will emerge. Is that too grand?


Small thinking does not get you very far.
