Twitter TWTR has continued to thrive during the COVID-19 pandemic as the global home-ridden population took to investing and social media to pass the time. In part, this has led to the rise of financial Twitter personalities who guide new retail investors in and out of trades and investments.
Some Fintwit personalities, who do not give financial advice, have helped their followers brighten up their isolation by mastering the art of making people laugh about crypto and the stock market in 140 characters or less. Below are some of the funniest Fintwit accounts:
@greg16676935420, a Dogecoin DOGE/USD enthusiast from Kentucky who likes football, stocks and his birthday, wakes up each morning to tweet “good morning to everyone except for the people it’s not morning for.” He regularly banters with Dogecoin creator Billy Markus, and the official Slim Jim and Wendys Company WEN Twitter accounts.
Using humor, Greg lives up to the Dogecoin motto of “do only good everyday.” He and @matthewesp created an NFT project dubbed “The Multiverse of gregs” and donated $64,000 to St. Jude’s Hospital from the sale of various artistic versions of Greg's Twitter image.
Greg’s rise to Fintwit fame may have begun when he tricked former Major League Baseball player Jose Canseco into DM’ing him about a crypto project.

In response to the news OnlyFans would no longer host sexually explicit content Greg quipped a more literal meaning.
Just found out OnlyFans doesn’t sell fans…

@ParikPatelCFA, a self-dubbed Chartered Fin-meme Analyst of Twitter’s most qualified Fintwit account, gives hilarious insight into the world of finance. A parody of Aswath Damodaran, a professor of finance at the Stern School of Business, Dr. Parik Patel makes light of everyone from Tesla Inc TSLA CEO Elon Musk to lawmakers such as Jerome Powell to Nancy Pelosi.
Back in May, after Musk suspended Tesla’s electric vehicle purchases using Bitcoin BTC/USD Patel posted an imagine of paper hands and said he’d tell his kids on day it was a picture of Musk.

Patel also sent off a few tweets in reference to OnlyFans’ business pivot.
OnlyFans repivots its business after realizing it can make more money from gullible investors paying for stock tips than it can from horny men paying for nudes

@cokedupoptions, or John. W Rich jokes he is Chairman of the Board at Yahoo but is actually a writer for the satirical stock market publication Hard Money. The Fintwit character often jokes about how difficult it actually is to be profitable from trading and recently joked “Passive income is easy. Just pick stocks that go up 100% each day, and the money will come rolling in.”
Rich, who adds in his Twitter bio that he has been divorced nine times, sent a tweet poking fun at Tesla’s AI humanoid slated for production next year.

Never settle.
And one day you’ll find a rich family to marry into like I did.

Morgan flips between posting inspirational and positive messages, cheering on the Dogecoin community and AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc AMC apes and posing witty questions to point out irony.
Morgan posted a tweet likely aimed at addressing the state of the world as it battles a pandemic, various wars and a host of other global issues.
What if Earth is like one of those uncontacted tribes in South America, like the whole Galaxy knows we're here but they've agreed not to contact us until we figure it out for ourselves?
— Morgan Sarkissian 💎�♀️ (@Helloimmorgan) August 27, 2021
A minute later she took aim at bank security systems by comparing their cameras to those used at amusement parks.
Theme parks can snap a crystal clear picture of you on a roller coaster at 70 mph, but bank cameras can't get a clear shot of a robber standing still.
