REMCoin

Status

Concept

Core Components

  • Neuro-Ad Engine:
    A fictional system for inserting branded content into REM cycles. (Beta-tested Pepsi Blue in nightmares; Q3 targeting lucid dream sequels.)
  • Sleep-to-Earn Protocol (S2E):
    Revolutionary revenue model that requires you to literally do nothing but sleep and be brand-compliant.
  • Dream NFT Marketplace:
    A surreal exchange for trading high-emotion, high-aesthetic dream sequences as unique digital assets. Your reconciliation-with-your-dad-on-a-cyber-shark moment is now worth $4K.
  • REMcoin™ Tokenomics:
    Every hour of REM sleep mints 0.001 REMcoin. Dream-ad engagement boosts yield. Nightmares earn hazard pay.
  • VC Deck From Hell:
    Fully loaded with hockey-stick graphs, a TAM of 7.8B sleepers, and an exit strategy that’s just “IPO during astral projection.”
  • Project Details

    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:
    I built a faux launch campaign for REMcoin™, including:

    • A fake investor pitch
    • A dystopian dream economy
    • Neuro-ads for Pepsi Blue (obviously)
    • An NFT marketplace for emotionally charged dream sequences
    • The world’s most passive income stream: unconscious brand loyalty

    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.
