Concept
Premise:
REMcoin™ is a satirical “Sleep-to-Earn” platform that monetizes your unconscious brainwaves by injecting brand placements directly into your dreams. Inspired by the ever-expanding absurdity of Web3 and hustle culture, REMcoin™ asks: Why stop at monetizing your attention when we can commodify your subconscious?
Why it mattered (or why it made me laugh so hard I snorted coffee):
Because late-stage capitalism is somehow both terrifying and hilarious, and REMcoin™ is its final boss. It parodies tech startup pitches so well it might accidentally raise real VC funding. I wanted to see just how far I could take the joke while keeping the structure pitch-perfect—complete with a fake seed round, brand synergy, and a nightmare-fueled Pepsi soft launch.
What I tried:

This was an exercise in high-concept satire, mimicking the tone of real startup decks while layering in increasingly deranged ideas until the line between parody and plausible VC-backed disaster blurred completely.
