I agree with the sentiment. However, I take umbrage with the framing.
Bitcoin is not the next Gamestop. It is the original and only viable F you to the traditional system. Gamestop is a side effect of our broken system where people are lashing out by half trying to get rich and half trying to stay poor (dying on the hill) through a failing business. Gamestop, memecoins, etc are a sign to me that the conventional ways of building financial security; working hard, providing value to the world, saving and investing wisely, are no longer seen as viable paths so many people are choosing the 50 cent approach (Get rich or die tryin). To me this is a sign shit is even more fucked up than we think.

I'm not that well acquainted with the mentality of those participating. Bitcoin is certainly the highest form of this type of protest, in addition to being so much more, but they're both low-cost methods to inflict great losses on the enemies of humanity.
Of course, like he says in the video, the state will just loot taxpayers to cover the losses if they become substantial, so it's a bit misguided.
