Except its not just a $1000 ticket to punch a 0.1%. They also believe the ticket will be worth $10,000 afterwards.

Are you speaking for yourself or-?

I threw in 1k with the hope that it will cost some billionaires a lot of money. I'm ready to lose it. Shorts already lost 100+ billion this month.

You fell for the marketing. Billionaires were on both sides. The bulk of the damage is done to uneducated vulnerable retail investors.

So now you're out $1000. You contributed to a scheme which ironically was a net loss for retail. If this were really not about making a profit, you'd see people donating their gains or buying shares for other people, and nobody would be cashing out. Are you still in the trade? What are you going to do with your gain/loss?
