Hi Izabella. Thanks for reposting this. I was on the fence for a while to subscribe to one of your newsletters, and I appreciate it a lot so far since I am writing my Masters thesis on developments in international finance since the GENIUS Act has been passed.
I was previously also considering subscribing to The Blind Spot, and I see that you also post articles on stablecoins there. Since as a student I have a limited budget, I was wondering what the added benefit of this newsletter is over The Blind Spot? Thanks in advance.
So, basically on the original wordpress site i had two tiers. Basic package and premium. When I originally created the business basic was supposed to be continuous posts a la Alphaville, with bigger feature pieces that took me a longer time part of the super premium offering. When I joined politico i had to change the structure to a weekly newsletter, and the super premium customers were mostly underserved. So i decided to unbundle the two offerings, and turn the super premium into a specialist pop up for following stablecoins, which is what i am currently focused on specialising in. I created the cashequivalence pop up for all such posts. Blind Spot is now just one tier and continues to focus on its original mandate: under reported stories, different angles on mainstream stories or other anti groupthink themes. I am still cross posting my stablecoin pieces on Blind Spot under the super premium subscription to allow pre-existing super premium subscribers to get value out of their subs. I am also cross posting stablecoin stories that satisfy the Blind Spot brief, but not every day developments. I will be winding down the cross posting to the super premium tier after a year, in the hope everyone who is interested in stablecoins will have migrated over to cash equivalence by then. It’s complicated but these are the challenges of unwinding tiers without pissing people off. If you are a student I would be happy to give you a free trial and then a discounted rate.
