STICKMAN
THE FIRST CHARACTER WE ALL DREW.
$STICKMAN / $MSFT
SOLANA × OTC DESKS
Before charts. Before crypto. Before Photoshop. Before AI. There was a circle and five lines.
THE FIRST DRAWING FINALLY HAS A STOCK PAIR.
BEFORE EVERYTHING

- STICKMAN.
YOU'VE DRAWN THIS GUY BEFORE.
EVERYONE HAS.
Before you knew how to draw properly…
you knew how to draw him.
Before you knew what a candlestick was…
you knew how to draw him.
Before you knew what Microsoft was…
you knew how to draw him.
stickman is basically the default human drawing.
BEFORE WE DREW HIM ON COMPUTERS...
WE DREW HIM HERE.
Homework margins. Notebooks. School desks. Whiteboards.
The corner of a test paper when you finished early.
Stickman was there before most of us even knew what a meme was.
“me”
“teacher”
“guy falling off cliff”
“guy with sword”
“guy doing absolutely nothing”
THEN THEY GAVE US COMPUTERS.
AND WE DREW HIM AGAIN.
Microsoft Paint took the dumb drawings we made on paper… and gave us a digital white canvas to make them even worse.
$STICKMAN / $MSFT
go on. make it worse.
THE LORE
Think back to the back of the class.
Bored out of your mind.
Teacher talking.
You staring at the margins of your notebook.
Eventually the pen started moving.
A circle.
A line.
Two arms.
Two legs.
A stick figure.
You didn't need instructions.
Nobody taught you.
You just knew how to draw him.
Before you knew charts.
Before you knew markets.
Before you knew what a memecoin was.
There was Stickman.
The first drawing we all ever made.
$STICKMAN
some things never leave the margins.

Stickman does not need new lore. The drawing existed before crypto. The Microsoft Paint connection existed before crypto.
OTC Desks simply gives us a way to finally put those two pieces together.

SIX LINES. ONE CIRCLE.

Stickman does not need a language, a culture, or an explanation. A five-year-old can draw him. An adult can recognize him. That is why the idea has survived forever.
