January 2021. They turned off the buy button.

This time, nobody can turn it off.

GameStop became the trade of a generation and the buy button vanished. Five years on, Robinhood built a chain, GME became a token on it, and someone priced a meme in GME itself. The loop closed. This is where the story lives.

The lore, in five acts and one to come.

Most tokens invent a backstory. This one inherited the best origin story in markets, then did something clever with a liquidity pool.

"Gamestonk!!"

A shorted-to-death video game retailer became the most famous trade on earth. GME went from under $20 to over $480 in weeks and hedge funds bled. On the evening of 26 January, with the squeeze already running, Elon Musk tweeted one word to his followers: "Gamestonk!!" The stock jumped more than 60% after hours, and the era had its name.

The buy button disappears

At the peak, Robinhood restricted buying in GME. You could sell. You could not buy. The word "stonks" and the app became inseparable, and a generation learned who really controls the button.

Robinhood builds a chain

The app at the centre of the squeeze launched its own blockchain, with tokenised stocks trading around the clock, in any wallet, with no closing bell and no one to switch anything off.

Robinhood Chain

GME becomes a token

Among the first stocks on the chain: GME itself, reborn as an on-chain token. The stock that broke the buy button now trades on the network built by the company that broke it. The irony sat there, waiting.

GAMESTONK. Priced in GME.

Someone launched a meme through the StonkBrokers launcher and quoted it not in ETH, not in a stablecoin, but in tokenised GME. The meme trades against the stock that made the meme. One billion supply, fixed. No team, no roadmap, no promises.

Then one day it appeared in 2,579 of the 4,444 StonkBroker wallets. Nobody announced it. Somebody just did it. The chain shows the drop; the community has a name for who pressed send.

Nobody can turn off the buy button now. Nobody will press it for you either. The full story →

Robinhood lists GAMESTONK

The act the community is waiting for: the app that turned off the buy button putting the meme priced in GME on its own screen. Nobody has promised it, least of all Robinhood. It exists only as a page this site would very much like to write.

This time, nobody can turn it off.
