Second layer solutions would like to speak to Ethereum about bloatware.

Oh really? Specifically, which one? Give me a link. Keep in mind the latest inflation reading today was 3.33%y/y. This is also an optimistic reading -- if you use the exact same calculation the fed used back in the 80s inflation would be at 10% (many government obligations such as TIPS are linked to CPI and, as such, they are motivated to make that number appear low).

Risk free savings used to be much easier when the dollar couldn't be freely printed. Sure, there were times of moderate deflation and moderate inflation, but overall the average was 0. Furthermore, labor was able to consistently achieve wage gains. Those days ended in the 70s (and is evidence by the famous wage-vs-productivity charts). Also, you're conveniently ignoring the fact that fiat currency has made it possible for governments to print money to pay for war instead of needing to levy a tax on its citizens (something which would frequently be met with protest).

Please, enlighten me. Show me a risk free asset that pays above the rate of inflation (don't forget to consider any taxes you might owe on interest and dividends!).

Most coins are shit coins with armies of people trying to pump and dump.

Obama...that was the president who authorized the FBI to infiltrate the Occupy Wallstreet movement and paint the protesters as rapists and weirdos, right? Democrats who think highly of him are no better than Republicans who think highly of Reagan.

Wow you’re trapped in a bubble. The valley is the most close minded place I’ve ever lived. Live in NYC for a bit, it’s the polar opposite.

Opinions contrary to the hackernews bubble are met with the same intolerance.

Counter-counter point: the valley is filled with over inflated egos and developers whose sole business model is stealing people’s private data to sell ads. They tend to think tech wouldn’t exist without them when in reality their only contribution to the world is a few crappy web frameworks.

Edit: looks like I struck a nerve with the valley script kiddies. Keep on downvoting. You’re the reason n-gate.com was created.

Good. The Chinese government subsidizes and protects many industries within their economy. Additionally, workers in the United State have been forced to race to the bottom with China. I, for one, am happy to see some protectionism.

Who did? The Russian government? Russian citizens? How did they organize these protests? Where’s the evidence?

Also, this is a completely different claim, separate from the “Russia interferes with our election” claim.
