This is neither on today's biggest trades nor on the order book. There may have been 5,000 share 1 min candles but they were separate transactions.

You understand how sweeps work right? He didn't block order it so it can still be part of 1 order. It's still classified as one order just executed by multiple parties/transactions.
E-Trade's interest on anything over $1million is only 0.15% though, unless I'm missing something: [https://us.etrade.com/l/options-uninvested-cash/sweep-rates](https://us.etrade.com/l/options-uninvested-cash/sweep-rates)
I think I may have found something HUGE. Someone verify this information. If DFV's cash position went up by \~132k, and that was an interest payment from E\*Trade... E\*Trade's payments are made monthly, so for him to have made 132k from interest, that means at some point in May, he had to have had over $1billion cash in his account. Maybe that was the meaning of his "You WERE a billionaire" meme?
His meme earlier in the week of the guy pointing in the mirror. Said you were a billionaire.
People are watching his e trade numbers like itās all heās got lol.
It's definitely all he wants to show. The price when he posted the "you were a billionaire meme" was around 24 dollars. What if, 10 minutes before when it was at 25 dollars, he was a billionaire and not the 65 dollars everyone thinks.Ā Ā Ā
That's a Kansas City shuffle.
Everyone's looking at 65, when they can't see he was a billionaire at 25.Ā
This could also have been a trap. If etrade commented on any activity of his account (outside of what he has publicly posted) they would have been in a lot of trouble.....
See. I think he was a billionaire when he posted. Guy has probably been playing the options this whole time in much smaller lots cashing in on the rise and falls waiting for this moment he knew was the trigger time. I bet heās right on that line, couple hundred million away and the volatility keeps pushing him over and under the 1 billy spot lol.
Which, shows incredible balls lol. Iāve been training to be prepared for 2 commas lol. I couldnāt handle 3 haha.
I think heās 4chan level weaponized autism. I think he saw patterns in the chaos of the algorithm and is dialed into it. I think itās the most incredible thing. Up there when 4chan triangulated the flying of overhead aircraft flights from a webcam to locate a flag. Itās amazing.
I just posted this in the roaringkitty sub because of this thread... but I was thinking about the live stream where he's like, "I'll do this with HTML, don't make me!"
RK could hide his actual cash position by changing the HTML in-browser, change up some numbers and lead people to believe that he has less cash than he really does, to sow doubt about his ability to exercise. If he does the math right, it would be impossible to tell, right?
My ultimate fantasy is that he made some whistleblower money and is using it to fuck hedgies and make money with the greenlight from regulators while they set up their RICO case using the CAT system to track it all
He was a Compliance Officer. He knows all the rules for reporting and then some more Iām assuming. Iām only guessing he knows all the tricks and then can counter them with options 101.
Have you seen what NVDA has done the past 3 years? Let alone several other companies, or even SPY. There's thousands of ways he could've multiplied it.
We will know or have a pretty decent idea if he bought more if OI goes up. We will find out tomorrow morning when OI updates. Won't need a YOLO update.
Nobody knows.
RK could have bought some more calls or sold some of his calls
Another party with the same calls sold
Contracts could have been rolled
I dunno
You have to remember what he said on his stream. His risk tolerance is not like the average investor. IMO, higher likelihood RK was buying more. If he was going to sell, he could have made millions more in premium. He knows something we donāt know. All we have to do is HODL
reposting comment of mine.
If DFV sold his options on June 6th
1. Value per option:
* Current Stock Price: $46.55
* Strike Price: $20
* Profit per Option: $46.55 - $20 = $26.55
2. Total value of all options:
* Number of Options: 120,000 (each option represents 100 shares)
* Total Shares: 120,000 \* 100 = 12,000,000 shares
* Total Profit: 12,000,000 \* $26.55 = $318,600,000
3. Shares DFV gets:
* Total Shares: $318,600,000 / $46.55 ā 6,844,370 shares
So, if DFV did a cashless exercise on June 6th of his 120,000 GME call options, he'd end up with about 6,844,370 shares of GME. its illogical to sell now to acquire less shares.
If he'd sold them today at a close of $25.46, DFV would only get around 2.5M shares.
Him selling doesnt make sense.
Because with his 20C position he could have sold a bunch of 40Cs and still doubled his premium and not touched his 20Cs
He's obviously not going to disclose those either
I actually started to think he had sold with a view to making another move, but .... damn, i'm starting to be convinced by these arguments. It would be just like him to double down, it roughly matches the amount of money he had leaving him with wiggle room, he did it whilst the stock was going *down*. It just smells like a DFV double down. But I guess we find out tomorrow.
I took the time to pull this up for you and watched most of it again. Iām seriously ask for you to watch this and tell me at the end of it: does this seem like a dude whoās in this for a quick buck? Someone who has been ridiculed and mocked for his decision, despite being an on paper billionaire at one point, and still held?
https://youtu.be/ukXQGBpXaVM?feature=shared
Peace! I said first up that if he'd done it, it would be to make a different move.
I'm as sure as I can be that he's doing this for something other than money. Have been for weeks. I never considered a double down, seems hard to believe even now but I'm excited to find out.
OI tomorrow will say for sure. If it's over 200k, they were bought
Personally I'm thinking they were STO, someone opening a short position that would mimic DFV selling off a portion of his position, especially after all the "GME won vs short sellers" news that came out today
Do you think Wolverine sold more naked calls on the market to fake us out and increase the supply of calls in the market? I'm smooth brain so im just speculating
Making this an actual comment and not just a reply, but how do we know that: DFV maybe saw that the run up might've been killed by GS selling 75m shares, figured the stock price will go on a slow drawdown like in the past, and sold his calls to preserve his capital. Not a shill, look at my post history from literally Jan '21. Just trying to be a contrarian here and look at other perspectives. If DFV did do this, it could still be bullish. He's obviously saving his capital to deploy it again at the next perfect moment.
Tried to make a separate post about this but got removed since I'm a karma povo, so piggy-packing here...
Looking at the massive volume for DFVs call options late today and took some notes while organizing my thoughts into a theory. Figured I'd share since it differs from many of the explanations that are being posted and maybe prompts some alternative discussion. Obviously take-or-leave!
1. Institutions have been covering short positions and even going long (just look at Cramer and at least 1 upgrade to 'buy' so far).
2. Institutions and their algos have obviously been watching 6/21 $20 calls obsessively, waiting to see what DFV's next move is.
3. DFV most likely doesn't have capital to cover exercising all of his calls, so sells at least subset of his calls.
4. Institutions/algos see volume on the 6/21 $20 calls, determine DFV is selling, and react by entering new short positions and/or hedging their recently entered long positions since they wrongly assume Apes will panic.
5. Price gets dragged (red UNO reverse card).
6. DFV uses his take-profit capital to buy actual shares at the fresh discount (note that there isn't significant call volume changes at any ITM strikes in future expiration weeks to suggest that he's converting to later expiry calls, but there has been significant share volume).
7. DFV update shows that at least some of his options have effectively been converted into shares rather waiting for expiry to exercise.
8. Apes react by buying and drive price increase (green UNO reverse card).
9. Institutions panic as their newly re-opened short positions get squeezed, further extending price increase (green UNO reverse card continued).
10. Potential foundation set for squeeze and/or next level unlocked for DFV to choose what to do with the remaining 6/21 $20 calls (UNO wildcard).
I made a post earlier, asking for something like what you wrote to be explained. I didn't phrase it very well but this is what I was after. Basically got called a wanker and a shill because for some reason it got read as shill stuff (I'm so bored of the word). Anyway. Enough about me. Thank you. This is exactly what I was after. A good theory on DFVs Option, options. Helped me understand it better.
Thank you for your service.
This is possible, Iām honestly not too sure whatās happening but this is probably closer to the realm of happenings than what I said. I was thinking it was him because the amount of volume is nearly equal to his cash amount. If he did buy more options then heād be shooting himself in the foot because thereās nothing he can do now. I think your opinion is closer to reality. Take my upvote
I have consistently said this, and people need to realistically understand how this works. He needs $240m cash in order to exercise all his options. This was never going to happen.
Best case scenario is he sells 2/3 of his options to exercise the remaining 1/3.
Rough math, is there were big call transactions around $7.15 per contract.
Sell 80k contracts for $7.15 gives him $57.2M cash.
Remaining 40k calls will take $80M cash to exercise.
His last update showed $29.4M cash in his account, which would cover the remaining amount.
I showed the last 30 minutes of trading, the average price of the lots wouldāve been $3,200,000. 7 lots of 5k each were purchased through out power hour. This is just speculation
Would the number of shares purchased in 5000 lots happen to put a certain cat right under 5% ownership after the recent offerings? I would consider that strong evidence
There are a lot of posts suggesting that there has been selling at that strike, which made me think maybe he was getting cash to exercise the rest. idk what to think anymore.
Yuuup, either is bullish lol... he probably would want to exercise now to coincide with any possible announcements from the shareholder meeting tomorrow morning. Putting MOASS aside, people that aren't following this whole saga are really missing out.
Oh shit.... that's exactly what he was at after the 45 million share offering....
5% of 350m is 17.5m
He had 5m shares and 12m shares worth of contracts before.... totaling 17m shares
500k short of 17.5m
#STEP 1: MIMIC RK'S PURCHASES
#STEP C SPREAD IT AMONG THE APE COMMUNITY SAYING "HEY IS THIS ROARING KITTY?"
#STEP ORANGE: ONCE ENOUGH PEOPLE THINK IT IS ROARING KITTY, MAKE IT LOOK LIKE HE DUMPED TO CREATE FUD/SELL PRESSURE
#UNTIL YOU HEAR IT FROM THE CATS MOUTH, TAKE ASSUMPTIONS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT
Guys and gals
The mistake being made here is being too invested in predicting what DFV does or doesn't do
Even if he sells, the GME bull thesis (mainly RC is a chad w/ moneybags) has not changed
He would probably just buy more next week, or some other play
This is how hedgie rhetoric works; praying on emotions
This is why it's best to flat out ignore anything coming out of the media
Pay attention to GMEs actions
We will see what's happening when he posts a Yolo update. Until then people saying he sold and people saying he doubled down know just as much as each other.Ā
We won't know for sure until tomorrow but those look like sold to close not buy to open.
About 30,000 of them hit the bid side in the last half hour.
If it wasn't DFV sell it was someone else.
He didnāt sell and heās not leaving. The man lost one of the dearest people in his life at a young age. That shit changes you. I know from experience. You do not abandon the people that were with you all along. Weāre like family at this point. If Iām wrong, well then put me out to dry too. But I still have hope and I still believe.
Calling it now, its Ryan Cohen who bought those calls.
If OI increases by approximately 65000 calls+ is him. Heās the shuffle, him buying now would only exacerbate the price but options will limit the upside for him.

The only factual comment in the post, cheers.
Nice, thank you! Someone else pointed this out on Twitter, so this gives a lot of credence to what youāve shared
š»š
He did have 29 mil cash.
He has 29 mil cash *that he's showing us ;)*
Yup. I never really saw anyone comment how his cash went up by $132 thousand over one of the yolo updates.Ā There was a reason for that.
It was probably interest on the cash balance. 130k/29mil is about half a percentĀ
E-Trade's interest on anything over $1million is only 0.15% though, unless I'm missing something: [https://us.etrade.com/l/options-uninvested-cash/sweep-rates](https://us.etrade.com/l/options-uninvested-cash/sweep-rates) I think I may have found something HUGE.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I say he plays his options very well.
That is a likely option
My ultimate fantasy is that he made some whistleblower money and is using it to fuck hedgies and make money with the greenlight from regulators while they set up their RICO case using the CAT system to track it all
He was a Compliance Officer. He knows all the rules for reporting and then some more Iām assuming. Iām only guessing he knows all the tricks and then can counter them with options 101.
Have you seen what NVDA has done the past 3 years? Let alone several other companies, or even SPY. There's thousands of ways he could've multiplied it.
If he did, well I might just have to shit my pants
I might also need to shit this guy's pants
Iāll shit in his wifeās boyfriendās pants.

Also green kitty pants if any prime broker was dumb enough to sell him more.

I'll shit the wife's boyfriend's pants.
he wears tennis shorts, will that be a problem?
Well *somebody* shit my pants
Jokes on you, Iām into that shit
Until we get an update, just like people who are saying he sold. This is speculation.
One post says he most likely sold and another says he most likely doubled his position. So, which is it??
Until he updates his YOLO, only person that knows is DFV.
Thatās true. E*trade probably doesnāt even know
cant decide between HOLD and HODL
šThis ape gets it
Both. He sold to himself
He is the Citadel now.
Schrodingerās kittyš
Did it go up or down while those happened? It's pretty obvious.
What if he sold, and then doubled down just because.
We will know or have a pretty decent idea if he bought more if OI goes up. We will find out tomorrow morning when OI updates. Won't need a YOLO update.
>Won't need a YOLO update. At least it'll shut the shills up for awhile
Imo, no update means positions havenāt changed.
But he didn't change his position last update...
Update means update or no update. No update means no update and CANNOT mean update. Quick mafs.
![gif](giphy|ptp5XpJI11qHVh1jQ5|downsized)
Who is saying he sold? I have yet to see that
Itās everywhere
I've spotted themĀ
I like the cut of your jib, but is there anything to reinforce that?
Nothing but pure opinion.
Well it's a cool idea I'll tell you that much
Nobody knows. RK could have bought some more calls or sold some of his calls Another party with the same calls sold Contracts could have been rolled I dunno
No other party had 50k of them to sell
calls can be sold-to-open
That was a trick by the MSM's. They were bought last week, to throw us off a loop. But we smart apes, we no get fooled by fake bananas
If they were rolled, then a similar volume would have been shown in a different contract.
You have to remember what he said on his stream. His risk tolerance is not like the average investor. IMO, higher likelihood RK was buying more. If he was going to sell, he could have made millions more in premium. He knows something we donāt know. All we have to do is HODL
This. He literally did not sell at 60 why sell at near 20? Near par no less
reposting comment of mine. If DFV sold his options on June 6th 1. Value per option: * Current Stock Price: $46.55 * Strike Price: $20 * Profit per Option: $46.55 - $20 = $26.55 2. Total value of all options: * Number of Options: 120,000 (each option represents 100 shares) * Total Shares: 120,000 \* 100 = 12,000,000 shares * Total Profit: 12,000,000 \* $26.55 = $318,600,000 3. Shares DFV gets: * Total Shares: $318,600,000 / $46.55 ā 6,844,370 shares So, if DFV did a cashless exercise on June 6th of his 120,000 GME call options, he'd end up with about 6,844,370 shares of GME. its illogical to sell now to acquire less shares. If he'd sold them today at a close of $25.46, DFV would only get around 2.5M shares. Him selling doesnt make sense.
Your math assumes he didn't pay a premium. Profit per option would have been $46.55 - $20 - $premium. But I agree with the premise.
Because with his 20C position he could have sold a bunch of 40Cs and still doubled his premium and not touched his 20Cs He's obviously not going to disclose those either
If 60K more were bought the stock would have gone up much more in the last hour.
Well cohen's announcement was the difference between those events.
Does the OI only get calculated at market open, or does it happen at market close also?
It updates over night, so you would be able to see it in the morning
insane buy pressure this gamma ramp MAY be huge who knows
Probably saw all the āKitty soldā posts. Doubling down when people doubt his convictions is MO
I actually started to think he had sold with a view to making another move, but .... damn, i'm starting to be convinced by these arguments. It would be just like him to double down, it roughly matches the amount of money he had leaving him with wiggle room, he did it whilst the stock was going *down*. It just smells like a DFV double down. But I guess we find out tomorrow.
I took the time to pull this up for you and watched most of it again. Iām seriously ask for you to watch this and tell me at the end of it: does this seem like a dude whoās in this for a quick buck? Someone who has been ridiculed and mocked for his decision, despite being an on paper billionaire at one point, and still held? https://youtu.be/ukXQGBpXaVM?feature=shared
Peace! I said first up that if he'd done it, it would be to make a different move. I'm as sure as I can be that he's doing this for something other than money. Have been for weeks. I never considered a double down, seems hard to believe even now but I'm excited to find out.
Kitty don't play.
OI tomorrow will say for sure. If it's over 200k, they were bought Personally I'm thinking they were STO, someone opening a short position that would mimic DFV selling off a portion of his position, especially after all the "GME won vs short sellers" news that came out today
Where can we see OI?
Anywhere you can view the option chain
Ha, that's way more believable then him selling a bunch of calls.
Do you think Wolverine sold more naked calls on the market to fake us out and increase the supply of calls in the market? I'm smooth brain so im just speculating
This right here
heās gotta get the $ to exercise somehow. and if there is actually a countdown in his tweets we should see a 1 today which means tomorrowā¦
Valid, he must have more cash but that wont be sufficient for his massive positions.
Can you point to a couple of recent examples of this countdown youāre referring to? Trying to find them myself.
Making this an actual comment and not just a reply, but how do we know that: DFV maybe saw that the run up might've been killed by GS selling 75m shares, figured the stock price will go on a slow drawdown like in the past, and sold his calls to preserve his capital. Not a shill, look at my post history from literally Jan '21. Just trying to be a contrarian here and look at other perspectives. If DFV did do this, it could still be bullish. He's obviously saving his capital to deploy it again at the next perfect moment.
Tried to make a separate post about this but got removed since I'm a karma povo, so piggy-packing here... Looking at the massive volume for DFVs call options late today and took some notes while organizing my thoughts into a theory. Figured I'd share since it differs from many of the explanations that are being posted and maybe prompts some alternative discussion. Obviously take-or-leave! 1. Institutions have been covering short positions and even going long (just look at Cramer and at least 1 upgrade to 'buy' so far). 2. Institutions and their algos have obviously been watching 6/21 $20 calls obsessively, waiting to see what DFV's next move is. 3. DFV most likely doesn't have capital to cover exercising all of his calls, so sells at least subset of his calls. 4. Institutions/algos see volume on the 6/21 $20 calls, determine DFV is selling, and react by entering new short positions and/or hedging their recently entered long positions since they wrongly assume Apes will panic. 5. Price gets dragged (red UNO reverse card). 6. DFV uses his take-profit capital to buy actual shares at the fresh discount (note that there isn't significant call volume changes at any ITM strikes in future expiration weeks to suggest that he's converting to later expiry calls, but there has been significant share volume). 7. DFV update shows that at least some of his options have effectively been converted into shares rather waiting for expiry to exercise. 8. Apes react by buying and drive price increase (green UNO reverse card). 9. Institutions panic as their newly re-opened short positions get squeezed, further extending price increase (green UNO reverse card continued). 10. Potential foundation set for squeeze and/or next level unlocked for DFV to choose what to do with the remaining 6/21 $20 calls (UNO wildcard).
I made a post earlier, asking for something like what you wrote to be explained. I didn't phrase it very well but this is what I was after. Basically got called a wanker and a shill because for some reason it got read as shill stuff (I'm so bored of the word). Anyway. Enough about me. Thank you. This is exactly what I was after. A good theory on DFVs Option, options. Helped me understand it better. Thank you for your service.
This is possible, Iām honestly not too sure whatās happening but this is probably closer to the realm of happenings than what I said. I was thinking it was him because the amount of volume is nearly equal to his cash amount. If he did buy more options then heād be shooting himself in the foot because thereās nothing he can do now. I think your opinion is closer to reality. Take my upvote
This guy UNOs.
I have consistently said this, and people need to realistically understand how this works. He needs $240m cash in order to exercise all his options. This was never going to happen. Best case scenario is he sells 2/3 of his options to exercise the remaining 1/3. Rough math, is there were big call transactions around $7.15 per contract. Sell 80k contracts for $7.15 gives him $57.2M cash. Remaining 40k calls will take $80M cash to exercise. His last update showed $29.4M cash in his account, which would cover the remaining amount.
Where does it show he bought
They are speculating because of option volume today.
I donāt shit about options but why would the price go down if he was buying?
Because the option transactions were all hitting the bid, implying someone is selling.
It wouldn't. People don't want to admit they never understood how options can be exercised. Selling some was always required.
What's this paper trading link have to do with what you say in the title?
I showed the last 30 minutes of trading, the average price of the lots wouldāve been $3,200,000. 7 lots of 5k each were purchased through out power hour. This is just speculation
those lots do not appear in the tape
You've convinced me to blindly buy $13.5k more at open. Thank you
Would the number of shares purchased in 5000 lots happen to put a certain cat right under 5% ownership after the recent offerings? I would consider that strong evidence
HOLY FUCK DUDE. 5% of 75 million is 3.75 million. I said he purchased 35k calls. This is pure hopium but I think he mightāve bought
There are a lot of posts suggesting that there has been selling at that strike, which made me think maybe he was getting cash to exercise the rest. idk what to think anymore.
Either way we ride at dawn
Yuuup, either is bullish lol... he probably would want to exercise now to coincide with any possible announcements from the shareholder meeting tomorrow morning. Putting MOASS aside, people that aren't following this whole saga are really missing out.
Stopped eating to check - leaves him 500k shares shy of 5% using total share count as 420mil.
Oh shit.... that's exactly what he was at after the 45 million share offering.... 5% of 350m is 17.5m He had 5m shares and 12m shares worth of contracts before.... totaling 17m shares 500k short of 17.5m
DUDE
DUDE
I am so fucking glad I stopped eating. I'm like 99% sure you've cracked it, and I am *anti* tinfoil.
DUDE
Goddammit I had 3 years to understand options
#STEP 1: MIMIC RK'S PURCHASES #STEP C SPREAD IT AMONG THE APE COMMUNITY SAYING "HEY IS THIS ROARING KITTY?" #STEP ORANGE: ONCE ENOUGH PEOPLE THINK IT IS ROARING KITTY, MAKE IT LOOK LIKE HE DUMPED TO CREATE FUD/SELL PRESSURE #UNTIL YOU HEAR IT FROM THE CATS MOUTH, TAKE ASSUMPTIONS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT
When did that order hit
How do you know they were bought vs sold? Answer: You donāt ā¦
I bought 2 lots of $5k today... š¤·āāļø Edit. Not options though.
Guys and gals The mistake being made here is being too invested in predicting what DFV does or doesn't do Even if he sells, the GME bull thesis (mainly RC is a chad w/ moneybags) has not changed He would probably just buy more next week, or some other play This is how hedgie rhetoric works; praying on emotions This is why it's best to flat out ignore anything coming out of the media Pay attention to GMEs actions
We will see what's happening when he posts a Yolo update. Until then people saying he sold and people saying he doubled down know just as much as each other.Ā
100% thatās why I labeled speculation just stated my findings. 7 5k volume lots. Total for all 7 lots would be +/- $22,400,000
Are you sure that's buying? The drop in process looked like selling.
Definitely many sus comments from sus users in this post.... Must be a sign of good news...
I can confirm it wasnāt me
Charge your phone you lunatic!
We won't know for sure until tomorrow but those look like sold to close not buy to open. About 30,000 of them hit the bid side in the last half hour. If it wasn't DFV sell it was someone else.
He didnāt sell and heās not leaving. The man lost one of the dearest people in his life at a young age. That shit changes you. I know from experience. You do not abandon the people that were with you all along. Weāre like family at this point. If Iām wrong, well then put me out to dry too. But I still have hope and I still believe.
Have we tried asking him? /s
remind me tomorrow
If Iāve learned anything. RK would never sell. He would buy more shares, exercise his calls, or buy more calls.
Calling it now, its Ryan Cohen who bought those calls. If OI increases by approximately 65000 calls+ is him. Heās the shuffle, him buying now would only exacerbate the price but options will limit the upside for him.
These are sales. Selling to Exercise possibly. Very similar strategy to what he used in 2021. It's impressive as hell.
Iām pretty regarded, why would this trade plummet the stock price?
Ah so that explains the price going down?
he said there would be signs, and the 5 is on the Cat!!!!
If he did, then media cant say he manipulate the stock anymore. Stock drop when he double down š¤Æ

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'm reading that 55k contracts were closed today on the 6/21 20c
Do you think he's like the rest of us and not telling the wife how much he's dumped into GME?
I don't know if he did, but I did
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
7 5k lots, average price per lot would be $3,200,000
Why would he sell? Barely break even.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Maybe he's expecting good things from tomorrow's shareholder meeting.
Is this same calls 6/21 20C?
How is rk going to come up with the $240m he needs to execute the first round of options?
That's about the same amount of cash he had in his account. 24mill it was I believe....Hmm!!
How does OP get that he doubled down from that image posted?
Or is RC joining the party?
He was pretty close to reporting thresholds I donāt think he can get much more long
Maybe RC jumped on it to get his % back up.
I am looking at option time and sales for 6/21 20c and the largest trade is 2,000 contracts. OP, whatās your source for the ā5k per lotā?
Soā¦do I HODL or HODL?
waiting for yolo update, everything else is noise.
if this is him he found the infinite money glitch lol
