I suppose it all depends how hands off Binance is with the Forbes content. Here in Hong Kong, Alibaba bought our biggest newspaper, South China Morning Post, and the content has changed. But that may have more to do with politics than money. Anyway really enjoying your take on all this and looking forward to reading more editions of Communique. Have shared your articles with friends in East Asia & India, who say they’re very interesting.
Hi David, super insightful. My friends who write for Forbes in Asia say they've slashed journalist word rates and have inexperienced editors as a result of cost-cutting. It's precisely because they've become a content marketing platform, as you so rightly observe, that I don't really trust anything I read on their platform. I believe in crypto and think it has hugely exciting applications for developing economies. We could all benefit from learning more - but from an independent source (like Communique). I'm not convinced that a global media platform shilling for crypto is a good thing.
I agree with you, Liz. I don't think Forbes "selling" crypto for Binance is the best idea. I barely read or trust Forbes too, so I don't see how this will ultimately be impactful. Except there's another underlying reason we're all not privy to.

Thanks, Liz. I appreciate that!
