the above is a few prompts in and doesn't really work yet, but the plan is to teach myself how to build a little game to extend the lemonade stand metaphor into something interactive will share progress in this thread

something I will get better articulating in time is this funny parallel between crypto and the lemonade stand that makes me want to build more stuff on top of it to further drive the point home permissionless capitalism and nonsensical fundamentals

the rough idea is to simulate the process of starting and growing a lemonade stand, from driveway to gigacorp and see what happens along the way will be using cursor/claude exclusively to build it

haven't thought this through entirely but also interested in trying to extrapolate the market price of lemons from the token value then you can start to satirize p/e ratios etc provable meme/mindshare of making fake lemonade

my thinking on it is that it will remain a contained idea as outlined in the original writeup given how native it is to the zora platform (baked in fees etc) any extension will be "lemonade stand" specific as there are many fewer levers to adjust at the contract level https://t.co/MOZCvGcfM3
