Why order this Roll of 20 2021 1 oz Silver Blockchain Mint WallStreetBets Rounds?
WallStreetBets is a reddit community that was founded nearly a decade ago to give retail investors a space to examine and discuss fringe stock and option trading. The group is often associated with aggressive retail trading strategies that are often thought to be profane and counterintuitive to institutional investors, and of course the memes. In January of 2021 r/WallStreetBets exploded into headlines around the world alongside the brick and mortar retailer GameStop (GME). Conventional investors had counted on GME being down for the count as the business struggled in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic and the rise of online gaming, falling to $18.84 at the end of 2020. Driven by social media, retail investors, many who were part of WallStreetBets "liked the stock" and a flurry of short selling in January of 2021 prompted a short squeeze on GME, which hit an all time high of $483 on January 28th, 2021. The stock rose in value 400% in just a week! Whether you bought some GME stock yourself or just watched from the sidelines, this silver round is the perfect memento from this wild ride.

Striking WallStreetBets Logo Design
Obverse: The obverse bears the logo of the group WallStreetBets. A baby-like figure is dressed in a suit wearing sunglasses with slicked back hair. Below him, the "WALL ST" street sign appears with the word "BETS" superimposed as if the sign had been spray painted over. The reddit handle, "/R/WALLSTREETBETS," is inscribed at the bottom of the rim, while inscriptions on the top together read, "BUY HIGH SELL HIGHER." An almost diamond-like texture appears in the fields on both the obverse and reverse, a nod to those with "diamond hands."
Reverse: The reverse design is a cartoonish rocket ship, which represents the hops for stock to go "to the moon." On the right, a diamond hovers above open hands. The stock symbols of some of the companies that the group has discussed are inscribed along the rim, including “$GME (GameStop)," "$BB (Blackberry)," "$AMC (AMC Theatres)," and "$NOK (Nokia)." You will also find the round's purity, "999 FINE SILVER," weight, "ONE TROY OUNCE," and the date, "2021" inscribed on the reverse.
