Robin Bell is looking for work.
123 years ringing the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange. Then Robinhood Chain started trading twenty-four hours a day, and the closing bell stopped closing anything. No severance. No exit interview. Just a resume and a very loud set of skills nobody currently needs.
FOR FOOD
(OR A JOB)
Robin Bell
Objective
Seeking a stable, ideally load-bearing position where making one loud noise per day is still considered a valuable contribution. Open to relocation. Open to almost anything, honestly.
Experience
Rang precisely once per day at market close, marking the end of trading for 123 consecutive years. Zero unscheduled absences. Position eliminated after markets stopped closing.
Covered mornings before the role was split off for "operational efficiency." Never fully recovered from the demotion.
Skills
- Ringing (expert)
- Timing (exact, to the second)
- Standing still for long periods
- Symbolism
- Being photographed
- Enduring silence
Reason For Leaving
Robinhood Chain began trading twenty-four hours a day. Markets no longer close. See attached termination notice, ██████████, filed without a hearing.

Wall Street. Every television broadcast that has ever opened with the sound of a bell. Available upon request, though none have called back.
One hundred and twenty-three years, ended on a Tuesday.
The job search is going about as well as you'd expect.
Every fee this token earns goes to the man who co-founded Robinhood.
Baiju Bhatt co-founded Robinhood — the company whose chain finally made markets trade around the clock and put Robin Bell out of a job. He has since left to build Cowboy Space Corp. Robin holds no grudge. Robin holds a proposition.
$BELLHOOD deploys via bankrbot, and 100% of trading fees route automatically to the wallet tied to @BaijuBhatt's X account. That's how the Bankr system works: every X account has an on-chain wallet resolved to it, so fees flow to the handle itself — no manual address, no middleman, no way to misdirect it.
The bell that Robinhood retired now pays the man who built Robinhood. Robin calls it "the longest exit interview in market history."
$BELLHOOD
Nobody's rehiring a bell. So the bell is going on-chain instead — deployed via bankrbot, with 100% of trading fees automatically routed to Robinhood co-founder Baiju Bhatt's X-linked wallet.
