Tyra Mail. America’s Next Top Model: Global Reserve Currency edition, coming soon to a timeline near you. The dollar is steadily losing its spot as the top dog, and investors are looking for the next best thing. Contestants include the big guys (Euro, China, Japan, BRICS+ etc.) and good ole’ Gold. Bitcoin is a wildcard outsider in this race, but that won’t stop us trying.

Vibes vs. Money. The discourse asks, are you Brooklyn crypto or Manhattan crypto? Brooklyn crypto is vibes and values-focused, using the tech towards a more decentralized internet. Manhattan crypto says no, it’s permissionless money. And that’s totally fine. But maybe the real takeaway is that crypto is actually neutral, and that both can be true at the same time.
