Let’s go back to 2017.

Bitcoin was all everyone talked about.

My Dad, someone who doesn’t have a Facebook and struggles to attach files to emails was talking about.

Articles and interviews were pouring out from every angle and news provider about this mysterious financial device.

19-year-old millionaires who had bought 100 bitcoins when it was $100 a coin was being touted as geniuses.

The more people talked about it the higher it went.

Well.

The new bitcoin hype investment just arrived.

And it’s all on r/wallstreetbets.

Ok, it essentially is r/wallstreetbets.

Many of you have no idea what I am talking about. Maybe you have seen Cramer reference it a few times on his many interviews and show.

Maybe you have heard it in passing as your 19-year-old son wipes his mouth with his freshly minted $100 bill at dinner.

Or maybe you are confused by the “r/” prefix.
