The Last Confetti

On March 31, 2021, Robinhood deleted the confetti. They missed a piece. He isn't a mascot. He's a memorial with legs. He stands for the class of 2016–2021. The ones who got confetti on their first trade and a settlement email three years later. The ones who checked their place on a waitlist a million deep. The ones who turned a free stock-trading app into a cultural event, a congressional hearing, and the greatest bull-market folklore ever written. The early degens made Robinhood. The confetti was theirs. It got taken away so the grown-ups would feel comfortable.
