A programmer got invited to ring the Nasdaq bell in Times Square and showed up in a custom vest printed with his meme company's logo so small it's invisible unless you zoom in on the photo. The whole thing was a prank on finance-bro culture.
I rang the Nasdaq stock bell this morning. I even ended up on this billboard. Here's how the day went down and a little prank I pulled. 2 weeks ago, my buddy Adam texted me, "Wanna come ring the Nasdaq bell?" I thought he was cappin'. Turns out he was not cappin'. Last night I get a text from Nasdaq saying, "Your registration has been confirmed. What do I wear?" I headed down to Times Square this morning at 8 AM cosplaying as a banker. So we ring the bell and there is confetti and everything. And I make a funny face, hoping they snap a photo that I could zoom in on later. Why do I need a photo where you could zoom in? Because I played a little prank. Okay, so you know how all finance bros in New York wear these Patagonia vests? Well, to make fun of them, I printed out my own. I needed something subtle enough that you wouldn't notice unless you zoomed in. And when you zoom in, Memelord Technologies. Mission accomplished. Create a photo series where you have to zoom in to see our company's name, which is a meme editor. You are watching a master at work.
