In this episode, Dr. Aliyev shares his unexpected journey from a university student with little investing experience to becoming a prominent research analyst, and how a viral Reddit post about cryptocurrency launched his career in finance writing. The conversation covers the evolution of GameStop after its infamous short squeeze, Ryan Cohen’s contrarian leadership style, and the company’s bold new move into Bitcoin as a treasury asset.

Josh and Dr. Aliyev unpack the real numbers behind GameStop’s turnaround, discuss the future of brick-and-mortar gaming retail, and speculate on what’s next for the company—from acquisitions to more crypto investments. They also touch on the cult-like “apes” community, the significance of GameStop’s PowerUp membership program, and what those mysterious Ryan Cohen tweets might (or might not) mean.
