WallStreetBets (WSB) represents the chaotic, high-risk culture of the r/wallstreetbets subreddit, which gained global fame during the 2021 GameStop short squeeze. The iconic mascot—a blond-haired, smug-looking boy in a suit and sunglasses—symbolizes the 'Degenerate' investor who prides themselves on 'YOLO' trades and 'Diamond Hands.' The meme is used to highlight the absurdity of modern retail investing, celebrating both massive gains and devastating losses with a unique sense of community-driven humor. It serves as a visual shorthand for market defiance, anti-establishment sentiment, and the relentless pursuit of 'tendies' against all financial logic.
