A year on, GameStop champion Roaring Kitty is quiet, yet much richer

Right, but like people didn't do all of that negative thinking with some random dogcoin. They poured in. If you told me there were 10k well trusted artistic people with a great deal of interest in starting a high density, non-car-centric city in the middle of Ontario I would join. I would buy the lot of land on Kickstarter. I would list my friends that I trusted. I would help solve the problems around figuring out internet and transit.

But nobody in Canada is offering this to me because even though this is better for the world, this takes real work. Instead they want to pump crypto and stock market scams because the payoff is short term and because they're naturally cynical.

Because the ante is low. Throw a few hundred or thousand at a chance to be rich is way easier than to uproot your life to move to a fledgling city that nobody knows how it will work out, and you still have to work.

Maybe this is an opportunity for you to offer it to yourself and others. Start the movement! If you wait for others to do it, it might not happen. If not you, then who?
