A gift, not a ticket
Support the classroom
Lessons, , and stay free. If you want to help keep the lights on, you can make a gift. A gift is a thank-you. It is not an investment, not a coin, not equity, and not Desk Pass.
What a gift is
- A donation. Money to run the classroom — hosting, the tape feed, the tutor. You do not buy a share of Real World Markets™. You do not buy a token. You do not get a return.
- Fiat only — PayPal. Not crypto. Sending coins here would mix a gift with the tape we teach, and we will not do that.
- Optional. Nothing on the academy, the board, or the paper desk locks if you never give a dollar.
What a gift is not
- Not a security, a note, or a share of the house.
- Not a coin, NFT, or “early access” token.
- Not Desk Pass. Pass is optional software for extras — a different product, if billed later.
- Not a brokerage account, a wallet, or a tip service.
- Not a prize, a points top-up, or cash back on paper P&L.
How to give
The button opens PayPal in a new tab. We do not host that page. You choose the amount. A gift still buys no share, no coin, and no advice. We never ask for a seed phrase or a bank login on this site.
The first gift
Dillon Hollander
Dillon Hollander made the first gift to this classroom. His name on this page is a thank-you from CTC. It is not a job on the tape, not a co-founder seat, not equity, not a coin, and not Desk Pass. A gift still buys no share.
The first tester
Jensen Moore
Jensen Moore was the first tester of this classroom. The name on this page is a thank-you from CTC. It is not a job on the tape, not a co-founder seat, not equity, not a coin, and not Desk Pass.
We are not a charity until a real organization says so. A gift may be taxable to us and may not be deductible to you. Ask your own tax person. This page is not tax advice, not investment advice, and not an offer to sell a security.
