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.
Another whale could drop on another BUT ... then the new whale ties up 10k for bad odds since mana is favourite, so wont happen.
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$.
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.)
Bringing "M bucks" above 25% because it seems like the most practical and simple option, "mana" is fun and cool but way too themed
I like mani but is it Manny or mawknee? In manifold it's more like man-ih which is no good at all. The a solves these problems!
