Answer will be my favorite response of all responses above 25%. Market will actually close at a random time between 3/14/2022 and 3/19/2022 Mar 15, 3:49pm: The randomly chosen time has happened. Hard to tell if Mana is genuinely the most popular or if 25% is too high of a cutoff to prevent the market from being a Keynesian beauty contest. Regardless, my personal preference was mani > mana > m bucks

"Mani" does make sense but it's hard to decide how to pronounce it. And mana is sort of like karma in that it's already a dictionary word for something a bit currency-like. For that reason I don't think we need to be deterred by the fact that there's already a crypto token called mana.

"Mani" is easy to remember due to "manifold". In cryptocurrency world, Decentraland has issued a token called "MANA".

I like mana. So much free linguistic real estate for theme markets. In a Fantasy genre I play wizards, in a Cyberpunk genre I play hackers, in a Reality genre I play mathematicians.

Mana is lame. 270 M$ is all that's needed to put anything up to 25% at the moment.

Another whale could drop on another BUT ... then the new whale ties up 10k for bad odds since mana is favourite, so wont happen.

Yes because whale drops 10k on Mana, and rakes (no other answers will be above 25%)

Yeah! Em-bucks is back!

Mana has felt too forced to me, em bucks is natural and fun.

I'm doin it I'm bringing embucks back into the running

I'm not confident enough to invest the money to bring em-bucks above 25%, but mana being over 80% seems a bit premature to me, since Sinclair has never said she preferred mana. I like mana aesthetically, but em-bucks is frankly the more practical option, since the currency is written M$.

Taking my loss. XD

I think "mana" is a foregone conclusion at this point. I'm just freeing up some capital here.

I've been using Mana and it's been working pretty well

Mana is happening!

As a fan of Naomi Novik's Scholomance series, I'm pretty enamored with referring to Manifold dollars as mana. (Mana functions somewhat like a currency in that fictional universe.)
