What we are going to talk about

The original is still the market

464 boards counted. Original still holds most of the money. #1 is still $17k. Pure ladder clones are background noise.

Two maps, not one

Mechanic is how the money decides rank. Surface is what you actually buy. A car wrap and a leaderboard can share a mechanic and still be different products.

Row → map → city → car

The boards people screenshot now are objects, maps, and cities. Cars are a real species. lamborghini.lol, siliconcity.lol, warmap.lol. Surfaces first.

BidCon is the Clock species

Posted price. Locked term. Nobody steals mid-lock. Directory stays free. We name the species. We are not another row.

How a chair is sold

30 chairs BidCon owns. Card checkout. After the term you stay until the next payment, then Alumni. Front row next price is last sale + 20%.

Payments tape

Polar offboarded the original for chargebacks. BidCon chairs are ads with a clock.
