I wonder if kids today will look back with nostalgia about all that time they spent watching "Mr Beast" videos where he did some dumb stunt or flashed money around for YouTube views. Will there be a Mr Beast revival in 20 years where a new generation of "content creators" fondly recreate the video where he swam in a swimming pool full of jelly (not sure he did that one yet).

Crypto isn’t an asset class at all - it’s a wrapper for anything from government bonds to gold to bitcoin to stocks to native tokens to memecoins. Anyone who thinks of ‘crypto’ as an asset class can be ignored, whether they’re writing positively or negatively.
