In November 2019, Robinhood accidentally gave traders infinite leverage. We turned the exploit into a token. $.img is a 3/3 reflection loop — the same cheat code, now paying holders forever.
It started on r/wallstreetbets. Someone noticed Robinhood's margin system was double-counting: deposit cash, sell a covered call, and the premium got counted as fresh collateral — as if you both still owned the stock and held the cash from selling it.
More collateral meant more buying power. More buying power meant you could sell more calls. Sell more calls, get more buying power. Repeat the loop. WSB called it the free money cheat code.
One trader parlayed a ~$2,000 deposit into ~$50,000 of buying power. Another claimed north of $1,000,000 on a four-figure account. Then the leverage cut the other way, the puts printed red, and the videos got a new sound.
“GUH.”
Robinhood patched the buying-power bug within days and said it was “communicating directly with customers.” Nobody kept the money. The legend never died. — This site is a meme built on that legend. It is not affiliated with Robinhood.
The 2019 exploit was a loop with no exit condition. $.img is the same loop — rebuilt on-chain, pointed at holders instead of the SEC.
Put in cash. In 2019 it was a $2,000 Gold account. Today it's a bag of $.img.
→Write a covered call, collect the premium. The trade obligates your shares — but you've still got the cash.
→The bug: that premium gets counted as brand-new buying power. Collateral, conjured from nothing.
→More buying power → sell more calls → more buying power. There is no line in the code that says stop.
$.img runs the same loop, legally(ish). Every buy and sell is taxed 3%, and that 3% is reflected straight back to every holder. The more it trades, the more the loop pays. Hold the bag, the bag grows itself.
No team wallet games. No hidden slippage. Just a 3% in, 3% out reflection tax that redistributes to every holder on every single trade — an infinite loop of buying power, pointed at your wallet instead of Robinhood's balance sheet.
The 2019 glitch was fake buying power that felt real. $.img is a real token that leans into the joke.
