In the 90s, penny stocks were sold by the phone. A room full of brokers read from a script, the quotes lived on pink paper nobody outside the room could check, and the house got paid first.
Wolf of Solana keeps the fun part: a cheap ticker and a board to climb. It drops the rest. Prices are public, the board is live, and the fees go to the coins at the top instead of the broker.
Same penny stocks. The board is public now.
