SO WE MINTED IT

[ click coin for confetti ]

In 2021 Robinhood removed its confetti animation because regulators and congress said little colorful papers were turning the stock market into a slot machine. With Robinhood making their chain, Congress cannot intervene now. $CFTIis the confetti, on-chain, with zero utility and maximum paper.

PRICE: $0.000

== THE LORE ==

ACT I — THE PAPER AGE	You buy one share of a company you cannot name. The screen erupts. Tiny paper rectangles congratulate you for existing. Life was good.
ACT II — THE SCRUTINY	Lawmakers discover that colorful shapes exist. They call it gamification. Vlad Tenev is invited to a room with microphones and no confetti.
ACT III — THE DELETION	March 31, 2021. The confetti is quietly removed and replaced with a tasteful, responsible, extremely boring ribbon animation.
ACT IV — THE RESURRECTION	You are here. Every click on this website emits the confetti they took. This is not financial advice. This is barely a website. Powered by $CFTI, Paired with SPY

== ROADMAP ==

PHASE 1: confetti
PHASE 2: more confetti
PHASE 3: confetti but bigger
PHASE 4: get an angry letter
PHASE 5: frame the angry letter
PHASE 6: confetti

== THE EVIDENCE (sources) ==

Actual articles about them deleting the confetti and Congress getting involved. Harvard referenced, because this website is scholarly now.

GIVE US BACK THE PAPER

$CFTI is a joke about a deleted animation. It is not an investment, a security, or a good idea. Inspired by CNBC, March 31 2021: "Robinhood gets rid of confetti feature amid scrutiny over gamification".
