Robinhood Chain

Few things in life are helpful in fractions.

In December 2019 Robinhood let anyone buy a slice of a stock for as little as $1. Then it spent two years on TV explaining why a fraction of anything else is useless: half a ramen, a dog park with no dog, a man yelling at a football.

The 2021 headline said it plainly: anyone can invest, even if it's only with the $1 bill in your pocket. We took that literally. On Robinhood Chain, one dollar buys the whole thing.
