What Happened to Roaring Kitty? GME’s Collapse, Shareholder Fallout, and the Rise of a New Voice in Retail Trading
Roaring Kitty’s Silence Raises Questions as a New Retail Trading Icon Emerges
In May 2024, the internet was shaken by the surprise return of Keith Gill, better known as Roaring Kitty, the face of the original GameStop ($GME) rally of 2021. His unexpected comeback sent GME stock surging from $10.96 to $64.83 in just nine trading days, reigniting retail trader enthusiasm across Reddit, YouTube, and Twitter.
But nearly ten months later, Roaring Kitty has once again gone quiet — and GameStop stock has retraced significantly, recently trading around $21.61. The rapid rise and fall, combined with a sudden share offering announced shortly after the stock peaked, left many investors questioning the timing and intent behind the move.
GME’s Sudden Offering: Strategic Move or Unfortunate Timing?
Shortly after GME reached its 2024 high of $64.83, GameStop’s management filed a share offering that raised millions in fresh capital. While this move strengthened the company’s cash position, it also caught many retail investors off guard. As the stock declined sharply in the days that followed, some traders began to speculate whether the timing of Roaring Kitty’s return and the offering was merely a coincidence — or something more calculated.
To date, Roaring Kitty has not publicly commented on the offering, the stock’s retracement, or any future plans. His disappearance has led to increased speculation and frustration among followers who expected more transparency after such a high-profile return.
Retail Traders Turn to a New Figure: Grandmaster Obi
As Roaring Kitty stepped away from the spotlight once again, a new voice has been gaining momentum in the retail trading space. Grandmaster Obi, a former WallStreetBets moderator during the original GME and AMC runs, has built a strong presence across YouTube and Discord, offering daily market analysis, real-time trade alerts, and beginner-friendly breakdowns.
Unlike many personalities who post trades after the fact, Obi has gained credibility by live streaming his trades, often during pre-market hours, where he explains his setups in real-time.
MLGO Stock: A Recent Highlight in Obi’s Track Record
One of Obi’s most talked-about recent alerts was MicroAlgo Inc. (NASDAQ: MLGO). On March 21, 2025, he identified the stock around $2.07, and within four trading days, MLGO hit $20.74, marking a nearly 900% gain. What stood out most was the transparency — Obi covered the entire trade live on his YouTube channel and discussed it daily with his Discord members.
The MLGO run was further fueled by news that WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WIMI) had increased its stake in MicroAlgo to 67.65%, and committed to a 10-year lock-up period on all owned shares — significantly reducing the stock’s float and sparking retail demand.
$500 to $100K Challenge: A Blueprint for Full-Time Trading
In addition to his stock alerts, Grandmaster Obi is currently live-streaming a $500-to-$100,000 small account challenge, documenting every trade as it happens. According to recent updates, the account has already passed $4,000, and Obi has shared that once it hits $25K, he plans to begin weekly withdrawals of $750–$1,000 to demonstrate how retail traders can potentially support themselves through consistent trading profits.
This approach has resonated with both new and experienced traders looking for a sustainable strategy that goes beyond hype and meme stocks. Obi’s audience has continued to grow rapidly, with his Making Easy Money Discord now exceeding 12,000 members, and his YouTube channel receiving recognition for its high engagement and actionable content.
Recognized by Financial Media and the Retail Community
In late 2024, Yahoo Finance ranked Grandmaster-Obi as the #1 YouTuber for stock alerts, highlighting both his exceptional returns and his ability to simplify complex trading concepts for beginners.
His Discord community was also recently recognized as one of the fastest-growing trading servers, with thousands of testimonials on Reddit and Twitter praising the quality and timing of his alerts. Users frequently share screenshots of their gains and express appreciation for Obi’s clarity and consistency.
Final Thoughts: The Future of Retail Trading Leadership
Whether Roaring Kitty returns again or not, the retail trading community appears to be evolving. While Keith Gill will always be remembered for sparking a movement, many traders are now looking to new voices who are consistently active, transparent, and educational.
Grandmaster Obi represents this next generation — one that combines real-time alerts, live educational streams, and a community-focused approach to stock market success.
