Serious question: does anyone know when/why that subreddit became what is is today? I used to follow it in the early 2010s and it actually provided some reasonable insights.
I don't remember (and maybe never read) the exact details, but as I recall it wasn't so much "infinite money" as "infinite leverage". You could somehow buy assets leveraged, then make the system "forget" that those assets were already leveraged, so it lets you leverage them again to buy something else.
Idk, it's basically been the same thing for as long as I've been following it, and I started around 2017. The only thing that's really changed is the number of subscribers has exploded.
