Even before the COVID-19 crisis, Reddit’s WallStreetBets channel was featured on the cover of Bloomberg BusinessWeek as an emerging market force.
Since then, between the surge in signups for Robinhood and the wave of followers of Davey Day Trader Global Global, these day traders have taken an even bigger place in the conversation about the stock market.

While many finance professionals (and, most certainly, traditional financial media) have treated the movement with skepticism, paternalism or outright derision, Slow Ventures’ Jill Carlson has a very different view.
To Jill, this group represents a new wave of investors who are unwilling to wait for permission to play a game that has been largely closed off to most.
In this conversation, Jill talks about why the Robinhood revolution is very, very real, and what opportunities for entrepreneurship and investing she sees in terms of financial education, new exchange tools and more.

Bitcoin shakes off U.S. session losses as Trump says U.S. trade deficit cut by 78%
Investors are focused less on the accuracy of Trump’s trade figures and more on how renewed tariff talk could mean higher-for-longer interest rates.
Lo que debes saber:
- Bitcoin swung between about $65,900 and $67,000 on Thursday as traders reacted to former President Donald J. Trump’s claim that tariffs have slashed the U.S. trade deficit by 78 percent.
- Investors are focused less on the accuracy of Trump’s trade figures and more on how renewed tariff talk could mean higher-for-longer interest rates, a stronger dollar and pressure on risk assets like cryptocurrencies.
- Bitcoin has recently been trading as a macro proxy, moving with shifts in liquidity and rate expectations, and could struggle to hold rallies if tariff concerns tighten financial conditions rather than fade into political noise.
