River is the most important company in bitcoin for me right now.

My current exchange of preference and one I recommend is Strike. I like what Mallers has built.

But Mallers lately has shown his natural base case is TDS, (this extremely political take is not political, trust me bro) and if his company follows his lead off the deep end of liberal self-destruction then I like having River as a viable alternative.

It’s easy to tell that River has more mature leadership. Not that Jack won’t mature, but growing pains are more easily noticed at this stage of his business.
