With the NFL season officially underway, we thought we'd do a little season preview...

a thread of Super Bowl contenders as cryptocurrencies
Kansas City Chiefs - Ethereum

The Chiefs didn't win the Super Bowl last year and ETH isn't the biggest crypto in the world, but these two are the future. They both perfectly marry power and potential.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Bitcoin

The defending champs led by the GOAT. Bitcoin and Brady may be a little old but they are far from washed. Who knows, maybe Brady IS Satoshi. We could see it.
LA Rams - Cardano

Have leaned on technological/tactical excellence to turn them into powerhouses. Right now the potential is there, but need to show results for people to pass more entrenched rivals.
San Francisco 49ers - Tether

Steady. Not super exciting to watch. Tether and the 49ers just go about their business with efficiency and don't generate the headlines of their flashier counterparts.
Buffalo Bills - Dogecoin

Generate more memes per capita than any other team or crypto. Even crazier—both have turned themselves into legit contenders after years of being one big joke.
Green Bay Packers - Litecoin

Everyone thought they were going to be really good, but after recent events, they look to be huge messes.
Cleveland Browns - Solona

Tons of hype, lots of talent, but no results to show for it yet. It could very well be their year but only time will tell.
Seattle Seahawks - Polkadot

A dual-threat that has the ability to compete in multiple ways with extreme efficiency.

The Polkadot blockchain or Russel Wilson?
New Orleans Saints - Cosmos

Bit of a wild card that no one is really sure what to do with. Could win the Super Bowl or implode.

1/ Older homes in the US are now nearly as expensive as newly built ones thanks to low inventory.

It's a stark contrast from the historical norm, and a trend that shows few signs of slowing down.

Let's get into it. Image
2/ Newly constructed homes are selling for just 3% more than older homes.

That's a significant drop from the average 16% premium seen since 1968, per a WSJ report.
3/ And the number of existing homes for sale fell from 1.7 million in 2019 to 1.1 million in 2024, hitting a near 30-year low.

So what's causing the shortage?

1/ BuzzFeed had a saving grace this week when it sold "Hot Ones" for $82.5 million.

But will it be enough to save the once high-flying digital publisher from financial collapse?

Let's get into it. Image
2/ "Hot Ones," known for its spicy celebrity interviews, will now operate as a stand-alone company under the ownership of a fund controlled by George Soros.

Host Sean Evans remains an investor, ensuring continuity for fans.
3/ The show has over 14 million YouTube subscribers and 4 billion views.

It even has a cultural presence on shows like SNL and "The Simpsons."

1/ Trump has appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to co-lead the newly created "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE).

Their goal? To slash $2 trillion from the federal budget, cutting nearly one-third of total spending.

But what exactly might go? Let's get into it. Image
2/ The US spent $6.75 trillion in fiscal year 2024, leading to a deficit.

Of that $6.75 trillion, Social Security, health, and Medicare were the biggest expenditures. Image via Business Insider
3/ Social Security alone accounted for $1.46 trillion, while health and Medicare cost $912 billion and $874 billion, respectively.

Those programs may not need annual approval from Congress but it would take new legislation to change them.

1/ OpenAI has been non-profit...until now.

The company is considering a shift to for-profit, with Sam Altman getting a 7% equity stake.

So why the change?

Let's get into it. Image
2/ OpenAI was founded as a non-profit.

When asked about his "real motivation" on the All-In Podcast a few months ago, Altman made it clear it wasn't equity he was after. Image
3/ But the tables have turned.

News broke this week that OpenAI is considering a serious restructure as a means of appealing to investors.

1/ The US yield curve slope has been an indicator for most recessions since WWII.

Yesterday, the longest US yield curve inversion ever ended.

Let's get into what that means. Image
2/ An inverted yield curve (when short-term yields are higher than long-term yields) typically indicates a looming recession.

But you'll often see the yield curve disinvert just before a recession. Image
3/ Why?

As an economic slowdown becomes more plausible, investors start betting on Fed rate cuts.

1/ So far, Team USA is leading with 103 medals at the Paris Olympics.

Yet some of the elite athletes bringing home gold, silver, and bronze in Paris went into the red just for the opportunity to be there.

Let's get into it. Image
2/ At this rate, Team USA may very well surpass the 113 medals won at the 2020 Tokyo Games.

Simone Biles became the most decorated Olympic gymnast, Katie Ledecky took home the most medals for a female Olympian, etc.
3/ But many enter the world stage without a guarantee of placing...and at what cost?

A Congressional report released in March showed that, of the 1,000 Olympic and Paralympic athletes surveyed, 26.5% have individual incomes under $15,000 per year. Image via the WSJ
