WallStreetBets, the popular Reddit group of retail investors behind the controversial GameStop (NYSE: GME) rally, has welcome the current crypto market rally as Bitcoin (BTC) clocks an all0time high above $64,700 on Wednesday, April 14.
The Reddit web forum has started a thread for crypto discussion for cryptocurrencies Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Dogecoin (DOGE). A moderator on WallStreetBets – “bawse1 – said: “I don’t see the point in delaying the inevitable anymore as crypto is here to stay”.
The moderator further added that the group has avoided discussions on crypto for years because of its “concern is that crypto discussion overtakes the core of what WallStreetBets is about, which is the stock market.”
Besides, WallStreetBets has also seen discussions of some of the outperforming stock in the crypto mining space such as Riot Blockchain and Marathon Digital Holdings. Probably, we can also see discussion on the COIN stock going ahead as COINBASE becomes the first major crypto firm to debut on Wall Street.
On the first day of trading on Wednesday, April 14, Coinbase recorded 30% gains with the COIN* stock closing at $328 and the company valuations hitting $83 billion. Analysts have already started giving price targets of $600 and above.
