Why I built a bangin’ Wall Street stock and crypto price scroller
And how you can too
Why
The first time I stepped foot inside of my undergraduate business building, I noticed the flashing strip of green and red numbers in the lobby. I was not sure what those numbers were or what the percentages meant. All I knew was that important and powerful people cared about them, and I wanted to know more.
As months went by studying in that building, I would find myself gazing up at the stock scroller for motivation. I wanted to do what the stocks do: move and grow. Having that mindset propelled me through college.
Once I graduated, I fell into a deep demotivational rut. Without the constant symbolic energy emanating from the scrolling stocks, I found myself withering away.
I needed to have my own personal stock scroller at home to keep me going. I couldn’t find any viable stock scrollers on traditional e-commerce sites. The few that I found had outdated LED screens that couldn’t display stock logos with the 4K “pop” that I desperately needed. So I teamed up with my brother to build our own.
