Gmerica: What If? Questions about a hypothetical scenario.

🗣 Discussion / Question

What if Gamestop chose to give Gmerica stock to current GME holders by matching GME 1:1 or any other ratio?

Or Instead of doing an IPO, it recalls GME and replaces it with Gmerica stock?

How do either of these scenarios affect the counterfeit shares and those who hold them?

Would a stock swap -Gmerica for GME -prevent MOASS?

Any other thoughts on Gmerica stock being directly connected to GME?

Edit: How about a parallel offering. Gmerica does not ever do a stock offering. It does a private NFT offering. "You own GME you get [X] NFT." Anytime GME is traded, the NFT follows. NFT is limited to actual GME share count. Can this happen?

Edit2: I guess I am putting the cart before the horse here. So Gmerica is registered as a trademark. When I saw all the "Gmerica" postings, I started envisioning it as Gamestop's first step in creating an overarching company. Someone posted a "what if" that basically said Gmerica could end up like Google's ABC.

I often forget apes aren't mindreaders. I posted this and left out my basis for posting. My apologies.

So, apes, what if Gmerica is transformed from trademark to holding company that utilizes a privately-issued NFT limited to only the non-counterfeit shares of GME? What chaos would this bring on the world?

Edit3: My meandering thoughts also considered Gamestop spinning the NFT tech into its own independent entity. Gmerica would be suitable for NFT branding exclusively. This also would have potential for Gamestop to use the occasion for harming shorters.

Trademarks can be segued into company names. I guess I am putting the cart before the horse here.

I am asking questions that I don't know the answer to.

Why does this seem to cause you issues?

If by recall you mean GameStop buying back shares, I genuinely think they'd struggle to get apes to sell, given our knowledge of the stock's future. If you mean a delisting of GME as a whole, and an IPO for Gmerica, then shorts would have to close their positions, making MOASS inevitable.

This is what I am asking about.

I realize I left out critical steps in my meandering thoughts. But what I was wondering has to do with what you address here: in what ways could Gamestop use Gmerica existing as a holding company to thwart all the shorting, reduce the counterfeit shares to nothing and enrich the shareholders, not the share-shorters.

I didn't think Gamestop could realistically delist GME without causing pain to innocent shareholders.

But I thought Gamestop has the ability to use NFT tech, Gmerica (not as trademark, but as entity) and ingenuity to wrest its stock from the shorters and allow MOASS to happen.

I was hoping better minds than mine would consider "another player entering the game" scenario with Gamestop being the second player also.

If I thought of it, someone at Gamestop has also considered this scenario. I figured others here had also considered the NFT tech being handled by a spin-off or independent branch of Gamestop. I considered Gmerica being a possible first step in building that entity.

In all honesty, I don't think Gmerica as a stock is anything big or important. I'd love to be proven wrong, but as a separate ticker I don't see what it would do to help the key event (short squeeze) from happening. Here's a question for you - what would GME stand to gain by preventing or delaying MOASS? I don't see why they would do anything you said in order to stop their stock from flying into the stratosphere and beyond. Remember that GameStop isn't actually a thing; it's Cohen, Furlong, DFV and all of us here. Every one of us wants to have more commas in our bank account, and I doubt we'd do anything to sabotage that.

I don't either. All the same, every action taken by an entity has planned outcomes and unforeseen outcomes. I've experienced too many great-idea-FUBAR-implementation events to think anything Gamestop does NFT-wise, stock-wise, etc. won't have at least one unforeseen outcome.

RC is not going to sabotage Gamestop. I trust him far more than I trust any other player in this game.

There are those who will do what they can to sabotage anything Gamestop attempts for various non-stock-related reasons. That's just the nature of commerce.

My questions center around a hypothetical situation where Gamestop introduces NFT-whatever and how it could inadvertently delay MOASS, among other things. I'm also interested in ways RC can tie NFT-tech to the existing Gamestop stock without the NFT itself being vulnerable to exploitation, like so many cry-pt@ offering currently are.

I'm not looking at a Gmerica-anything being offered as traditional stock either. I'm looking at it as being treated as crypt@ is now but with Gamestop having far more control over its distribution and exploitation.

Maybe I'm just asking my questions too soon.
