Robinhood doing this highly illegal thing would without a doubt tank the price

@fleet cypress is citadel responsible for market manipulation?

robinhood is dead

there will be a lawsuit

I thought it was worth the risk

median cradle
#

Yeah but if 200k was my whole net worth and I lost it, I would be fucked

I still put a substantial amount into shares but it's hard to lose that much

And what I mean by that is you can't chase the next thing acting like it'll be the same

That I’m in a situation that allowed me to do this

#

I liked robinhoods pretty graphs before but that’s such a dumb reason to stay

#

As soon as Fidelity’s servers start working again for me I’ll join them

unreal quest
#

What’s gonna happen with robinhood?

#

No way they’re getting out of this

#

The entire world hates them now

elder cypress
#

well assuming history repeats itself, they'll probably get a slap on the wrist and recover with most people forgetting

unreal quest
#

They’ll most certainly lose the lawsuit right?

#

What they did is an obvious violation

#

This is nothing but a crime

#

Do u think the government will side with citadel and robinhood?

unreal quest
#

“Limited”

#

That’s still market manipulation

#

They’re adding insult to the injury

round holly
#

I mean it will drive the price up at least

unreal quest
#

I guess

visual raptorBOT
#

Everyone say hello to @proper remnant!

unreal quest
#

But this is still a very valid reason for a lawsuit

#

Then manipulating the market in any way is highly illegal

#

The fact that the lawsuit was filed this fast says something

#

yeah that's what's gonna happen if at all

#

like how are they supposed to assess the amount of damages

unreal quest
#

U mean deposit?

unreal quest
#

And that 1 million people lost money

#

Then they’d need to settle for 1 billion

hollow ridge
#

no but that's the problem it's an assumption

#

it's really hard to quantify this stuff

#

how are we gonna quantify speculation

exotic crypt
#

look at how much people get in class action lawsuits

#

its not much

#

this isn't the first time

unreal quest
#

It will take a while to come to a settlement

#

@exotic crypt for some cancer lawsuits it’s a lot

exotic crypt
#

the only major one was vw and they just ended up buying their cars back at the value given

unreal quest
#

For mesothelioma the average award is 1.4 million

#

Paid to the victims family

exotic crypt
#

those aren't class action

unreal quest
#

Asbestos is im pretty sure

exotic crypt
#

google: "Mesothelioma cases are typically not filed as class actions. Class-action lawyers represent the entire group of claimants, members have less control over their case and compensation is divided between all claimants. A lawsuit provides better compensation because the mesothelioma lawyer focuses on only one claimant."

unreal quest
#

The average settlement is around $50 million more

#

Okay

#

My abs then

exotic crypt
#

individual suits bring that

unreal quest
#

My bad

#

Class action lawsuits average 50 million

#

Some settlements are only worth a few hundred bucks

#

Per person

#

Sometimes it’s like $2

#

Oof dfv is down quite a bit

@dense osprey what have u seen on there?

visual raptorBOT
#

Wow, @dusty cloud just joined! Who brought the cake?!

dense osprey
#

and the follow up they posted below

#

mf invested into tech stocks

#

12% return when s&p return 20%

#

and said

#

"damn good stable return"

unreal quest
#

We need a new platform

#

Yeah

#

It’s definitely not the Sec

#

Sec isn’t gonna touch this

#

Guys should we create a new platform?

#

An open source one

#

Think it could be done

#

That won’t rely on citadel

#

Hmm

#

How are the winklevoss twins doing it three

#

What does fidelity do?

#

So does that imply limited supply(

#

If it’s lal in house

#

And expecting ppl to lose?

#

Guys I’d be down

#

If it takes a year

#

Fine

#

Absolutely

#

We’ll figure out a way to do this

#

Yeah

#

Fidelity is kinda boomer

#

How much do u think this would cost?

#

To do

#

Yeah

#

I have some ppl

#

Who would invest

#

How much cash do u think we’d need?

#

Just to get started

#

To appropriately handle order flow

#

At least $1B?

#

What’s T?

#

What would be the minimum amount to get it off the ground

#

Initially

#

Before raising money from external investors

#

Just to build a proof of concept

#

That works

#

But if we needed cash to process order flow could probably get a bank loan

#

Mvp, wed probably build ourselves

#

UI wouldn’t be that intensive

#

We’d need to find a partner

#

There are smaller market makers

#

Find one with a very clean history

#

Who we can trust

#

I could probably find a few in my contacts

#

There are a lot of market makers out there

#

Similar to robinhood but open source. It wouldn’t be extremely difficult

#

Something we could figure out

#

The hard part would be facilitating orders

#

We could by chance partner with fidelity

#

Are they a market maker?

#

I could hire a few engineers

#

To help us out

#

I could put up a small amount initially

#

And also bring on board a few angels

#

Given the idea and our track records, we could get some angel funding

#

Enough to hire 2 or 3 people

#

For a year

#

Before raising a real institutional round

#

Could probably find good engineers for $150k a year

#

Hire 3

dense osprey
#

god i would love to be a fund manager

unreal quest
#

Then that’s probably $500k

#

To hire the first engineers

#

And take care of admin stuff

#

That would be feasible

#

Yeah I’m gonna look into ways to do this

#

Will bring u two on board

#

It’s not a bad idea

dense osprey
#

its so hard to find good stocks to buy

#

the last time i found something was bed bath and beyond

unreal quest
#

I think some institutional investors might actually take it seriously

unreal quest
#

Web scraping data

#

Would just need to pay for the computational space

#

It’s something I’m looking into

#

Using sentiment analysis

#

In terms of the open source app, I will call up a few people

#

Who can serve as advisors

#

We’d need more computational power

#

Is that enough to predict wsb trends?

#

We’d backrest this in years of historical data

#

Yeah I we’ll see how much correlation there is

#

I’ll put up the initial capital

#

And call some angel investors as well

#

@hexed rose @fleet cypress I’m gonna make a few calls and then bring u guys on board

#

And we’ll figure this out

#

I’m gonna find a few ppl who can serve as advisors

#

And see how much initial capital I can get us

#

Will put up some personally

#

But what other investors to have skin in the game as well

#

I’ll personally put up 10% of the round

#

UI/UX will be free to design (well just use Figma)

#

And then we’ll build a very basic mvp on our own

#

And then see what we need engineers for

#

Yeah

#

They have a free plan

#

Basic plan

#

I’ve never paid for Figma

#

Yeah

#

If we need the paid version, I’ll just pay for it

#

Not a problem at all

#

It’s like $15 a month anyways

#

Unlimited collaborators

#

U guys heard of alpaca?

#

They’re doing something kinda similar

#

But it’s an api

#

I will try to get them on the phone

#

And see if there are opportunities for collaboration

#

I wanna make a bot

#

is it really

#

sounds fun tho

unreal quest
#

Would u say ur more technical?

#

Or business

#

If we need developers I can find good ones overnight

#

As long as ur willing to learn it’s fine

#

We’re already way ahead of so many of these traders

#

Our goal here is to democratize finance

And create a platform where nobody gets screwed over

#

im volunteering myself

unreal quest
#

Great!

#

Happy to have you on board

vivid shard
#

I volunteer

unreal quest
#

It will be a few years before we make any money from this, but I see the potential

#

Awesome!

#

Will get a group chat up and running soon

#

I could just create a new channel in this server to discuss high level ideas

#

So anyone here can share ideas

#

Input from others who will likely be users is very important

#

I’m gonna make a few calls next week to see how I can facilitate order flow

#

Will contact a few market makers

#

I would need one who I can trust from an ethical standpoint

#

I would go a mile near citadel

#

Hmm it seems alpaca works with ntc

vivid shard
#

robinhood makes it's money from selling market data to hedge funds

unreal quest
#

As their clearing broker

vivid shard
#

what other viable alternatives are there

#

realistically

vivid shard
#

Yeah

unreal quest
#

We could find an ethical clearing broker

#

There’s tons out there

#

That would jump on an opportunity like this

vivid shard
#

so make money by providing a way for brokers to reach consumers more directly?

unreal quest
#

It could also help out smaller brokers as well

#

Make the platform more accessible to them

#

Any broker can plug in

vivid shard
#

I see

unreal quest
#

So we’re making order flow easier to find

vivid shard
#

It sounds like a democratized exchange lmao

unreal quest
#

Yeah

#

That’s kinda the plan

vivid shard
#

ngl that would be super cool

unreal quest
#

That will ensure no one gets fucked over

#

Like no can can trust robinhood anymore

vivid shard
#

Yeah it would

unreal quest
#

I’m gonna make a few calls next week

#

And find some partners to get on board

#

Then we’ll all start building it

#

Great to see we all share the same vision

#

After what happened today something new is needed

vivid shard
#

holy shit flash boys 2.0

#

have you guys read flash boys

unreal quest
#

Yeah

vivid shard
#

basically they designed an exchange that was slowed down to ensure fair trades so you couldn't be front run by HFT

#

i think its called IEX

unreal quest
#

Yeah

#

We’d be building that but with a better UI

#

Like robinhood

#

Yeah

vivid shard
#

You can't do that

#

i think

#

Im pretty sure you're obligated to find the best price

#

but if instead of connecting to exchanges you connect to brokers who deal with that

#

and have the brokers bid on their side

unreal quest
#

Yeah. That’s why it would take initial capital to start out, but once we start obtaining volume, it won’t be a problem

unreal quest
#

Yeah

vivid shard
#

exchanges are typically
banks-> exchange <- banks
but ours would be

users->us->broker auction->exchange

#

something like that

unreal quest
#

Yeah.

#

That could work

#

And this increase the number of brokers

#

In essence

vivid shard
#

and i assume the way other apps work is
users->broker->designated MM->exchange

#

it would be really cool to build a matching engine like that

unreal quest
#

Yeah that’s basically how it would work

#

And our advantage will be the UI

#

And the ease of use

#

Plus maybe increasing accessibility to brokers

#

Cuz no one really knows what iex is

#

They came before robinhood

median yarrow
#

they are so gross

unreal quest
#

Robinhood marketed themselves better

vivid shard
#

IEX is an institutional exchange like NYSE

unreal quest
#

Yeah

#

We could partner with them

vivid shard
#

was?

unreal quest
#

Oh

vivid shard
#

?

#

tbh idk

#

but they still are an exchange

unreal quest
#

Lemme do some research this weekend. Will get back to u soon

#

And we’ll start cranking out the mvp

#

This guy is a fucking scumbag

#

Such a joke

Who is he to determine its fair value

major breakthrough, earnings, or what made it do that?

what am I supposed to look for usually

unreal quest
#

Since what I’m trying to build heavily aligns with his mission and I’d like to bring him on as an investor

unreal quest
#

But generally a stellar earnings report or some breakthrough news will do this

#

Like say a vaccine company for example

#

That’s new and has a relatively small market cap

#

No one really knows about them

#

They recently iPod

#

They release a report saying they cure coronavirus with 99% efficacy or whatever

#

Their stock will skyrocket

#

Hype train pretty much

I look for company’s with relatively small market caps
