Did you use pre-existing art, music, or sound effects for this project?
I used a text to speech generator, and a sound of a phone vibrating. Everything else should be all me.

Very unique and creative, great job! Would be cool if the numpad enter worked as well.

The styling of the game is great. Super interesting/funny concept. Love all the events that happen!

KNOWN BUGS: 

The upgrade for the WSB and Twitter powerups make the Twitter powerup WORSE, instead of better. The WSB powerup still gets better, to my knowledge.

The arrowhead for the line on the graph is a bit off, and gets worse at higher rates of change.

Pausing and unpausing during the beginning speech when Bogdanoff takes control of your crypto will skip the speech.

Selling only part of your holdings in crypto will make the graph turn red, depending on how much you sold. The graph will turn green if you buy more, having already invested. The graph color should remain unchanged by these transactions.

You are unable to interact with the pause menu if you open it up in the shop.

I don't know what exactly was happening, but Russians/Ukrainians started talking to me and came to respect me, so I loved it. The hit boxes on some of the powerups did feel a bit off, though. I might recommend making them bigger than they actually are.

This is the man you were talking to. They are called the Bogdanoff brothers, and they are a popular meme in the 4chan business and finance board and are often portrayed as the center of a grand conspiracy where they have immense political power to control all cryptocurrency (and the world), and they use this power to screw over small time crypto investors by pumping a crypto to lure them in, then crashing it as soon as they buy in. In reality, they don't have anything to do with crypto at all, and just look funny. I'm glad you enjoyed their addition into the game. Regarding the hitboxes, the line itself won't collide with the hitboxes of the items on the graph, it's the faint little circle in the middle of the screen that will hit them. Though making the hitboxes bigger should make the game a lot easier, since I often find it's hard to time when to hit the Pump/Crash button.

the selling/buying I can't interact with fast enough

I personally just mash the numbers and hit enter real fast. But ye, probably not the most fun gameplay mechanic. Oh well, it was a fun idea I suppose.
