I see no way this can go poorly
That comment about the eggplant tattoo is something Street picked up from a crypto company she's working with called Dare Market, which has yet to launch. The idea is in the name: a market of dares where people pay bounties that others cash in on by recording themselves performing crowdsourced challenges. These dares, according to the challenges. These dares, according to the company's founder, Isla Rose Perfito, a bubbly blond 29-year-old living in New York, could include things like breaking into a Scientology center, moving into a McDonald's for 24 hours, and getting people to streak at the Super Bowl. "The goal," says Perfito, "is to break the internet. It's like Black Mirror/Jackass coded but still super relatable. It'll give you the feeling that you can change the world and the adrenaline rush of driving a fast car.” I tell her it all sounds a bit like Squid Game, the TV show about poor people who play deadly children's games in order to win a prize fronted by wealthy spectators. "It is, yeah!" she says-brightly. "It's very similar."
