Paw Patrol is a cryptofascist pseudo-military operation with no observable source of funding but an unlimited budget and no governmental oversight. Ryder, its leader, was never elected and forces his will on the citizens of Adventure Bay while simultaneously pushing propaganda about how, if you’re in trouble, the police (Chase) are the only ones who can help you. Thus leading the entire populace to become complacent and unable to fend for themselves when anything bad happens. They regularly use untested technology designed by a child far beyond the capabilities of other citizens without a care in the world that, say, Sky’s rocket pack could explode at any second, incinerating her and any other hapless folks who are nearby. Mayor Goodway regularly uses them for her own personal needs, such as finding her lost chicken, and while Mayor Humdinger’s main goal is the elimination of the repressive regime he is presented as the villain.

In other words, they’d be right at home with bitcoiners.

Someone could probably explain it better but afaik when a stock trades for under a dollar for long enough it gets taken off the actual stock exchanges and starts being traded over the counter, which basically means all the trading is done via middlemen who facilitate trades of lovely penny stocks. When that happened to BBBY its ticker became BBBYQ.

not quite

when a company goes bankrupt, its stock isn't instantly canceled: its only canceled when a plan goes effective that cancels the stock. hence, BBBY still trading. however, everyone knows that the stock of a bankrupt company is a stupid thing to be intentionally trading, so a "Q" is added to the name as a bright flashing warning for idiots. that's why BBBY became BBBYQ.

it's separate from being delisted and going to the OTC trades

Yeah but you can't really enjoy it unless you spent 300k for a token that says you can eat it.

The TLDR is on its way to actually getting SUPER delisted to the lowest OTC level from which you can't come back. This will be funny because the apes are waiting for Jesus to descend and save BBBYQ and also give them free Teddy stocks for being his special followers.

There are several levels of being traded OTC. When your company is completely dead and no longer submits any financial reports at all, you're not allowed to be traded OTC like your normal penny stocks that still pretend to be a real business. You get to a special level where only accredited investors can legally trade and only through very specific middlemen who deal with cash and a paper trail of stock handoffs - no more digital exchanges are involved. Your regular brokerages accessible on the internet do not touch this level of OTC stocks at all. Hence BBBYQ apes are low-key panicking that Uncle Sam is going to finally stop them from legally being able to throw more money into the fire pit.
