As a researcher with a background in finance and experience observing market trends, I find the recent return of Roaring Kitty to the r/Superstonk subreddit and their announcement of a substantial investment in GameStop (GME) stocks an intriguing development. This phenomenon is reminiscent of the meme stock craze that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic on platforms like r/wallstreetbets, where GME and AMC were at the forefront.


I, Keith Gill, also known as “Roaring Kitty” in the online world, made a surprise return to the r/Superstonk community after a prolonged absence. Excitedly, I shared the news of our significant investment in GameStop (GME) stocks, valued at approximately $115.7 million, representing a purchase of around 5 million shares. My past involvement in the market, which includes encouraging the GME short squeeze when institutions were heavily betting against the stock, has left an indelible impact.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, an extraordinary event unfolded on r/wallstreetbets that left an indelible mark on finance circles. This phenomenon resulted in the popularization of the term ‘meme stocks’. One such meme stock that gained significant attention was AMC. In 2020, its price skyrocketed alongside GameStop’s (GME), reaching unprecedented heights.

If the pattern of hype-driven investing in cryptocurrencies seems repetitive, that’s because it is. Crypto enthusiasts frequently exhibit similar behavior when it comes to memecoins, fueling excitement and subsequently boosting the values of these assets. The frenzy surrounding GameStop (GME) stock transferring to the crypto sector, causing significant price surges for popular memecoins such as Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB), reaching unprecedented heights.

As an analyst, I’d rephrase it as follows: My return to Reddit using the u/DeepFuckingValue account and the accompanying screenshot of my investment significantly influenced GME‘s price movement. Within just 20 minutes of my Monday post, the stock price surged by nearly 19%, reaching a peak of $27.58.

Meme stock frenzy could erupt once again with this event, as Reddit users, novices, and meme stock fans prepare to fuel price surges for GME and similar stocks through excitement. History teaches us that patterns repeat. Consequently, a resurgence of meme stock mania will lead to escalating meme coin trading and soaring prices.

As a financial analyst, I’ve observed an impressive surge in performance for meme coins over the past few months, alongside other crypto assets. Personally, investors who jumped on board early with PEPE, BOME, and similar meme-based digital currencies have already reaped substantial rewards. If accurate predictions hold true, those fortunate enough to hold these memecoins could potentially see even greater financial gains in the future.
