it s a sculpture. i bought alebron james rookie card for a million dollars.it s now worth $5 million. my mom thought i was insane. a million dollarson a basketball card? frickin pokemon cards. if you had acharizard, it s worth like $600,000.it s a social construct. it s got value becausewe say it has value. that s it. so you look at someonelike elon musk. he s createda cult around him, a religion around him. and people, youcan t speak sense to them. they have their own model, even if the modeldoesn t make any sense. they re goingto buy elon stuff. the thing withthe gamestop story, we had a bunch of young kidswho were really savvy who figured out, hm, this stock s tradingfor very little. there s a lotof short interest. we can buy optionsand drive it up and squeeze out the shorts. once it started going,it became a social phenomenon. it became an f-uto the system. like therewas a nihilism to it.
