Unpacking $GME: How does crypto fit in?

This a great topic to discuss and I think there is a lot to analyze, particularly with respect to the similarities between these Reddit groups and DAOs, as well as the differences of course.

Additionally, this case highlights some instances of circuit breakers and other limitations placed upon system actors on various financial services platforms (Robinnhood, eTrade, etc).

Further, there is a fair amount of debate to be had on the extent to which crypto protocols do or do not solve the censorship/deplatforming issues.

I think there’s a couple different areas of research surfaced herein that are worthwhile for researchers to spend some time on.
