Unironically, this feels more and more like QAnon. It doesn't matter that the bloodbath didn't happen when Q said it would, because what Q actually meant was 3 weeks from now, except in this case Q is Martin Shkreli or any of the other hundreds of hedge fund managers hanging out on WSB, stirring the pot while laughing all the way to the bank.
So as someone involved in this trade for the lulz, I had the exact same thought today, though you could probably have framed it a little less... sarcastically.
I couldn't help but notice the "this Friday is the day", "no wait this Monday", "no wait..." evolving narrative has felt an awful lot like folks dealing with cognitive dissonance. The parallel to qanon ("Trump will take over before the inauguration", "no wait during", "no wait March 4th"...) is definitely there.
Now I absolutely don't believe there's any nefarious orchestration behind the scenes. I think it's straight up groupthink.
But I'm up a decent amount on the trade so far and this realization absolutely made me rethink my exit strategy.
