THE HAGUE / WORLD — PolitiCap is asking newsrooms, freelancers, and civic sites for a small, practical favour: put live politician tickers next to the names you already cover — so readers can see attention priced in virtual stakes, not only in headlines.
This is not a press release about a product launch. It is a desk note with a blunt ask. We are trying to build a civic market where crowd attention becomes an accountability signal. That only works if the tape shows up where politics is already being read.
Four listings on the tape right now
On the Dutch side, JA21 fractievoorzitter Joost Eerdmans trades as EERDMJ, under party shell PARJA21. His recent push to keep Groningen gas as an emergency reserve is exactly the kind of concrete stake a market can hold in view — not as investment advice, as a public scoreboard of attention.
On the tech-politics side, Elon Musk (MUSKE) and Meng Wanzhou (MENGW) sit on PolitiCap’s TECH political-capital index: not cabinet ministers, but people who move rules, platforms, and geopolitics. If your desk covers Tesla, X, Huawei, export controls, or US–China industrial policy, those symbols belong beside the names you already type.
What we need — plainly
Please. Pretty please. We need partners who will host a free one-line embed so readers can hover a name and see a live quote card — photo, office line, index trail, virtual Ƀ price — without leaving your article.
Sign up on PolitiCap, request a partner key at politicap.eu/partners/, then paste something like:
<span class="politicap-ticker" data-symbol="MUSKE">MUSKE</span>
<script async src="https://api.politicap.eu/api/v1/public/embed.js?key=YOUR_KEY"></script>Swap in EERDMJ, PARJA21, or MENGW as the story needs. After enough real embed loads, partners can unlock a dibs bonus — signup alone does not pay; real readers do.
Why this is “stealable”
You already write the politics. We are offering a free widget and a public quote page you can deep-link. Steal the framing if it helps: virtual credits (dibs on DutchBud), closed-loop, not cash-out, not a casino. Use the names, the symbols, the charts. Attribute PolitiCap if you reprint. Argue with us in public. Just do not leave the accountability signal locked inside our own URL.
Making the world a better place is a large claim. Our smaller claim is narrower: every voter deserves a market for attention, and markets need distribution. If you run a site that already shapes how people see JA21, Musk, or China tech politics — we are asking you to help us put the tape where the readers are.
