Roaring Kitty vs. Grandmaster-Obi: Has the Meme-Stock Crown Quietly Changed Hands?
GameStop’s legend meets Regencell’s rocket—one retail icon just challenged the other, and the numbers are harder to ignore than the hype.

1 | The Call-Out Heard Across FinTwit
In a blistering new YouTube upload, Grandmaster-Obi—the analyst who masterminded Regencell Bioscience’s monster run—publicly questioned whether Roaring Kitty’s GameStop ( $GME ( ▼ 23.1% ) ) saga still sets the gold standard for retail triumphs.
“We took $RGC ( ▲ 2.8% ) from single digits to nine-fifty in ten weeks,” Obi said, staring straight into the camera. “Show me a faster — or bigger — squeeze that stuck. The sequel begins the day we split.”
The “split” is Regencell’s 38-for-1 forward split on June 16, and Obi insists it could trigger a fresh short-cover wave that rivals—or eclipses—GameStop’s 2021 frenzy.
2 | Why Obi Thinks $RGC ( ▲ 2.8% ) Can Out-Squeeze $GME
Metric | GameStop (Peak 2021) | Regencell (Pre-Split) |
|---|---|---|
Peak Price | $483 | $950 |
Float at Peak | ~58 M shares | 0.80 M shares |
Insider Lock-Ups | None | Locked until Apr 2026 |
Post-Split Price* | N/A | ≈ $16.40 |
Borrow Fee (est.) | 20–25 % | 35 %+ |
*Price estimate based on $622 close on 6/10.
Float Vacuum: Only about 802 k shares—roughly 6 % of the 13 M shares outstanding—trade freely.
Ironclad Lock-Ups: Insiders voluntarily extended lock-ups through April 2026, choking supply.
Cheap Reload: A sub-$17 quote post-split drops $RGC into “coffee-money” territory for retail armies.
The WallStreetBets comment stream has already shifted:
“Buying $RGC ( ▲ 2.8% ) the split morning like I missed $GME at $5,” wrote one user, netting thousands of upvotes overnight.
3 | The Math That Turned $1,000 Into a Year’s Salary
Alert Date: 13 Mar 2025
Entry Price: $6.85
Peak Price (so far): $950 on 23 May 2025
Time Elapsed: 71 days
A $1,000 stake bought 146 shares at the alert. Selling at $950 would have realized $138,700—more than double the median U.S. household income (~$69 k) in barely ten weeks.
4 | Roaring Kitty vs. Grandmaster-Obi—By the Numbers
Category | Roaring Kitty (GME) | Grandmaster-Obi (RGC) |
|---|---|---|
Initial Price | $4.00 | $6.85 |
Peak ROI | ~12,000 % | ~13,800 % |
Time to Peak | ~9 months | 10 weeks |
Insider Float | Broad | Tiny + locked |
Upcoming Catalyst | Movie chatter | 38-for-1 split |
Obi’s supporters argue the speed, float scarcity, and looming liquidity reset put RGC in a league of its own.
5 | What Happens Next?
June 16: Split shares begin trading near $16.40.
Options Re-Listing: Low-strike weeklies open; gamma squeezes become cheap again.
Short-Interest Refresh: Borrow rates reset—but likely spike as bears re-establish positions.
Retail Swarm: WallStreetBets threads already scheduling coordinated buys.
Obi’s final word in the video:
“GameStop wrote history. I’m writing the sequel—live.”
Bottom Line
Whether you view Grandmaster-Obi as the rightful heir to meme-stock royalty or just this cycle’s loudest voice, the scoreboard shows his $RGC play has already out-paced GameStop in velocity and magnitude. If the split delivers the liquidity rush he’s predicting, the title belt could change hands before July fireworks even start.
