Crypto currency and the stock market are still trending because of stocks/crypto like Dogecoin and Bitcoin and more. People on the internet were investing in crypto and people I knew also invested in crypto. Dogecoin was so popular Elon Musk invested in it and also tweeted about it. Stocks for these currencies/stocks were making people rich super fast, people I knew that invested in stocks cashed out in the high hundred thousands, some even made millions. The stock market right now would maybe even be called a digital “gold rush”.
