WSJ: We Talked to the "Degenerate Retail Traders" Behind the New Meme Craze
The US stock market is filled with "degenerates."
Under the impetus of self-proclaimed "degen" amateur traders, a high-risk trading style is making a comeback. These traders are enthusiastic about high-risk trades that are famous for having no relation to traditional investment evaluations. Some are willing to invest large amounts of cash in specific stocks or cryptocurrencies just to participate in a trend. Others are just in it for the fun and memes.
In their language, "Degen" can be a noun, adjective, or verb, and is popular mainly among young people. It is a self-deprecating identity, with some tracing it back to the term "degenerate gambler." Behind it is a spirit that advocates bold market bets and questions investment norms: since life is only lived once, why worry about traditional financial advice?

"Crypto President" Teams Playing Bitcoin Are Growing, Is a New Global Consensus Coming?
2024 is a super election year, with key elections in dozens of countries and regions globally, involving a population of over 4 billion. Among them, the US election is undoubtedly the biggest focus. However, unlike in the past, the topic of cryptocurrency ranks third in all super PACs participating in the 2024 US election.
It's worth remembering that discussing Bitcoin in campaign activities by presidential candidates was rare four years ago. When El Salvador became the first to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender three years ago, many were still on the sidelines. However, things started to change in last year's primaries, with efforts being made by former President Trump and current President Biden to win the support of crypto voters. Additionally, many crypto companies are planning to inject a large amount of cash into the 2024 US presidential election, and there are signs that these funds are helping the crypto industry gain more support in Washington.
