Hey guys - this is Dan Pipitone, Co-Founder from TradeZero. You wouldn’t believe the shit going on behind the scenes right now. 10 hedge funds have fallen, and our clearing firm emailed to block ALL trading platforms from $GME, $AMC, and the like.
That some trading firms are blocking these symbols is disgusting, unprecedented, and beyond fucked up. Our clearing firm tried to make us block you, and we refused - after 3 hours on the phone they backed down.
So - ask away! ANYTHING. There’s some things I might not be able to touch on because of licensing restrictions. Anything that’s not a literal compliance requirement, I’ll level with you.
What this has been like running a trading firm, the communications we’re getting from clearing firms, what I’m hearing in the background, apocalyptic collapses in the financial sector, questions about TradeZero, whatever.
On a personal note - you’re a bunch of goddamn heroes. This has been one of the most exciting weeks of my career and holy shit have you autists sent earthquakes through the system.
(I tried to post this on r/wallstreetbets, but it keeps getting removed. Looking forward to doing an AMA there once the mods approve me!)

Hi Reddit! My name is Oscar Scafidi and I am a professional travel writer, with a focus on Sub Saharan Africa. I have lived, worked and travelled in 30 African countries and am currently based in Tunis, Tunisia. I love travel in "difficult" destinations. In the past this has included: investigating piracy in Somalia for my Masters thesis, road tripping in Iraq, hiking the Wakhan Corridor in Afghanistan, climbing Jabal Haraz in Yemen, driving a 1973 Land Rover Series III from London to Liberia, kayaking 1,300km along Angola's longest river and driving from London to Russia and back via Abkhazia in a Volkswagen camper van with my brother!
This year I am writing my fifth book, the Bradt Travel Guide to Tunisia, and will be bringing you all along for the ride on my new YouTube channel: Scafidi Travels
I am keen to answer any questions you have on what it's like to be a travel writer, how I earn enough to pay the rent, how it is possible to write a guidebook during covid-19, how to get into the business as well as anything else you might want to know about. AMA!
