WSB Chairman, according to his Twitter posts, is one of the active participants in the recent “pump” of shares of various companies, including the network of video game stores Gamestop. Over the past month, their quotes have grown more than 11 times. One of the reasons for this dynamic was the hype on social networks, especially on the Reddit platform.

Its users in the WallStreetBets thread began to select the shares of the companies for which the most massive short positions were opened and actively buy them. However, the WSB Chairman emphasized in his account that he is not directly related to this discussion on Reddit.

A similar story with the Doge token happened in July. Then its price increased by 140% during the day. This happened after users of the popular TikTok application began to urge each other to buy a coin as part of a challenge.
