Why purchase this 1 oz Silver Proof-Like 2021 Blockchain Mint WallStreetBets Round?
In January of 2021 the reddit community WallStreetBets exploded into the collective consciousness along with GameStop, a brick and mortar video game retailer. While conventional investors had thought the retailer was down for the count due to the rise of online gaming and complications caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, retail investors, driven by nostalgia, social media, and simply “liking the stock,” flocked to GME in January. A flurry of short-selling triggered a short squeeze on GME stock, pushing its value up to a high of $483 dollars on January 28th, 2021, an almost 400% increase in just a week. Wallstreet bets was founded almost a decade ago as a space for retail investors to discuss and examine stock options. Memes and the congratulatory posting of losses abound.

Defiant WallStreetBets Design
Obverse: The logo of the WallStreetBets group serves as the obverse design. It includes a "WALL ST" street sign with the addition of the word "BETS" as if the sign had been spray painted over, and a babyish figure with slicked back hair who is wearing sunglasses and a suit. The group's strategy, "BUY HIGH SELL HIGHER," is inscribed near the rim at the top, while its reddit handle, "/R/WALLSTREETBETS," is included at the bottom.
Reverse: The desire of group members stock to go "to the moon" is represented on the reverse by a cartoonish rocket ship. Next to the ship is a diamond, which hovers above open hands, representing the concept of "Diamond Hands." Rim inscriptions include some of the stocks that were discussed in the group, like “$GME (GameStop)" and $AMC (AMC Theatres). You can also find the round's purity, "999 FINE SILVER," its weight, "ONE TROY OZ," and its date, "2021" on the reverse.
