“This unique film provides a fascinating perspective of the mind and psychology of today’s financial tech traders. It’s a living case study of how investing, gambling, technology and social media intersect to create stories and experiences that are beyond compelling.” - Timothy Fong
'The film is incredibly thought provoking and will get investors talking about investing, behavioral finance, fear and greed...this is a modern 'meme economy' version of 'Reminiscences of a Stock Operator'. - Howard Lindzon
