In the halcyon days of Reddit, there existed a page called Wall Street Bets. It was a wild, electric corner of the internet where amateur traders, self-proclaimed "apes," and risk-takers gathered to discuss high-stakes investments and boast about their gains—or more often, their losses.

Among the cacophony of memes and YOLO (You Only Live Once) trades, two stocks emerged as the darlings of the community: AMC and GameStop. Their meteoric rise from obscure companies to household names was fueled by the collective frenzy of Wall Street Bets. Apes poured their savings into these stocks, driven by a belief in sticking it to the Wall Street establishment and a shared sense of camaraderie.

As AMC and GameStop soared to unprecedented heights, so did the spirits of the Wall Street Bets community. Each day brought new memes, new gains, and new tales of triumph against the odds. But as the saying goes, what goes up must come down.

The fall was as swift and brutal as the ascent. Hedge funds, seeing an opportunity to profit from the inevitable crash, began to short the stocks. Panic set in among the apes as prices tumbled, wiping out gains and leaving many with heavy losses.

Years later, you find yourself still a part of the community, though it's not quite the same. The electric atmosphere has dimmed, and the losses have taken their toll.

One evening, as you scroll through the latest posts on Wall Street Bets, a sense of nostalgia washes over you. In that moment, you realize that the glory days of AMC and GameStop have come to an end as well as this page. #ripwallstreetbets
