One year. Millions of memories. Share yours here.

I remember the moment several brokers took the buy button away - my wife and I were screaming watching the price action, while I was checking reddit and twitter - voila we witnessed blatant crime and we had to HODL harder even to this day. I'll never forget that moment. That was the moment I new this was going to be a war for transparency and fairness for retail. I knew we would eventually win if we keep HODLing and yelling for effective reform, holding the regulators and politicians accountable

All apes coming together to understand, apes just buy GME, hodl GME & DRS their GME shares

Retribution of 2008, and the fact wallstreet will change in the end. If not for me, for my children and their children. Hodl!

Opened the doors to the stock market and how it works. Love and appreciate the Ape community that has come from it.

DFV first double down! By far the biggest hype coinciding with the congressional meetings. I AM NOT A CAT!

My favorite memory is buying my first share of GME. At the moment I didn't think much of it. Now I look back and smile. It brought together an enormous, great community of all walks of life. Working together to unearth market bad actors. Used to think the market was corrupt. Now I know just how deep the rabbit hole goes.

It's hard to choose a favorite when there are new ones everyday. This is really one of the greatest things I've been apart of thus far in my life. I've really just taken the 30,000ft view of this and it's amazing to watch it play out as a moment in history. I truly don't care about the price anymore. I continue to buy and hold.

When they shut off the buy button, they lit the match. The match ignited the fire that burns strongly with retail shining light in to the dark recesses of fuckery.

I had been looking into the AMC movement and learning more to try and pull myself out of a deep depression after the sudden passing of my father in 2020. The pandemic wasn't helping with all of the isolation, and I just felt very lost and hopeless. When I heard the buy button had been taken away, a fire started under my ass, and I finally had motivation to jump into the fray. I muttered to myself, "don't threaten me with a good time" as I opened an account on WeBull, deciding right then and there I was an Ape, that this was a cause greater than myself worth fighting for, that this was a group of people sticking it to the Man who was content to order everyone else around but not obey their own rules. And I thought "fuck those guys; they created all of this for their own benefit, it's time for it to stop". That's where it all started. I am so grateful for this community, and I have hope that this will be the beginning of a new wave of economic freedom, and put some kick behind the notion of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". A pursuit that lingers with the smell of popcorn, the sense of community among games we all played as kids, a newfound hope that my niece will grow up in a world with people who continue to gather together without fear, and enjoy life for all of the beauty it can offer. I am an Ape, I will never leave!

GME YOLO update — Apr 16 2021 — final update This escalated everything. I was jumping around the room. It was another level to anything I have ever seen before.

One year to the day. I bought into AMC prior to this date not knowing of all of the corruption behind the scenes. Between then and now, the people have woken up and realized that we are being fucked harder than we ever realized. We banded together and exposed how wealthy pieces of shit steal from us illegally with no repercussions. We hold because we know that ultimately, we will fuck them in the end. We won and will change the market moving forward. Happy to be part of this with all those who hold AMC, GME, and others.

Definitely the poop and sex memes.

As the GameStop manipulation unfolded I realized I needed to ensure my kids understood how the market is supposed to work, how it was being manipulated and how average Americans were engaging in a battle to save the economic system (i.e. average Americans and international investors). The ensuing conversations, which included Twitter and Reddit feeds, TikTok videos - most found by the kids- and the memes that taught in moments what college classes spread over 30 hours. As a mom, I treasure these conversations that transcended generational perspective. I believe there are countless parents, like me, watching their children's understanding and curiosity grow in ways they never expected. I will cherish these discussions and always be thankful for DFV and the Apes- true economic zeitgeists leading a revolution.

What is an exit strategy - Roaring Kitty gweet

My favorite memory was watching @theroaringkitty(Keith Gill) represent for retail investors during the GameStop congressional hearing.

Watching Keith Gill be right. I believe retail owes so much to research, endurance, and his patience. During the beginning of all this the support, community, and people coming together from all areas, religions, political parties to stand up for what is right.

I remember seeing GameStop soar and thinking about how crazy it was. I had seen the posts on wsb, but I never made a move. I didn’t have much money and I had only opened a brokerage account a month prior. However once the prices dropped at the beginning of February I bought some and I continue to buy more with each paycheck now. Hodling strong, better late than never!

DFV letting everyone know at the congressional hearing that he is not a cat and likes GMEs price (around $150 then) as an attractive option at that time

My memory is if got my BFF to go in with me and he is still with me, throughout the whole year. Has not complained once about the price, or thought about selling.

The moment when roaring kitty/dfv/keith gill represented the individual investors to congress.

Keith Gill's testimony to congress and his subsequent double down. He truly is a real-life hero. Thank you Keith. You have helped me to dream and see that I too can have a "against all odds" quest in my life.

The buy button being removed was an awakening.

Learning the market is rigged… and MSM gaslighting retail traders. We’re not leaving!!

Holding with this man

I am not a cat

The moment I YOLO'd my life savings into GameStop

I remember that day felt very powerful despite the buy button being taken from us. People were realizing how fundamentally broken our “free market” really was. The rally afterwards was incredible. The Reddit memes, hype videos, social media posts. We were ramping up against the very greedy corrupt entities that conspired against our freedoms. GO GAMESTOP, POWER TO THE CREATORS THE PLAYERS THE COLLECTORS

My favorite memory has been the personal financial journey that the buy button removal has brought about on my life. This past year has only led to an even stronger desire to take control of my future, and to fight for market fairness.

I started as Ape buying options and generating 100k, I lost all my earnings in less than one week thanks to Kenny and Vlad. I enjoy watching HOOd crashing.

Starting my investment career with $GME and learning how the financial world works beneath.

My favorite memory has been going through a mass learning exercise. Generations after us will be so much more knowledgeable about finance, market structure, and, last but not least, FUD. People have become aware of their own power and believe in themselves. Anything is indeed possible.

When it went from 330 to 280, to 160, back to 230. Crazy!!

Battle of 8.01, nuff said. What a community achievement. Felt great even tho we never met each other!

My favorite memory so far was when Charles Payne called Portnoy a little bitch!

LMAYO

The battle for 8.01 that lasted all the way up to the closing bell.

For me it was an unforgetable experience. From euphoria to major rage.

This tweet made me choke on my beverage:

crying billionaires...

This year I’ve learned more about the mechanics of power than in my degree in political science. All because they took the buy button and killed the squeeze.

It was the day funds finally settled in a new brokerage and I couldn't buy still

The will of the apes

Just being connected to a group of people who dont worry about the outside world, just focus on one thing, together. Its been amazing.
