>> This will be easy to fix when Trump is replaced I think it will be entrenched by then. Wasn't it narrowly defeated under Obama (remember when all the sites went black at once)? Serious (perhaps dumb) question, can the end of NN really be fixed with encryption? My intuition says no, because China seems really good at blocking everything

I also think it will be entrenched by then. > Serious (perhaps dumb) question, can the end of NN really be fixed with encryption? I have some hope for a decentralized private internet like this one https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/15/pied-pipers-decentralized-internet-is-planned-for-dubai-courtesy-of-startup-moeco/ https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/15/pied-pipers-decentralized-... but I would see it as more of an enthusiast's space as this internet wouldn't be able to compete with the size of the current internet.

  Speaking of decentralized (but not private), I recently learned about some EOS 'coin'... Brock Pierce states he's raised multiple billions to deliver a high speed ETH competitor... I find everything about it hard to believe (I own no EOS), but I'm watching it with much curiosity

    I'm not surprised he's raised millions. (1) One of the best/easiest/most guaranteed places to make money is by investing in money/stocks/etc. ("You have to have money to make money") And (2) Actually, startup funders have a surprising amount of cash and they'll throw it on any horse that looks to win the race. From a civilian and from a startuper's perspective, gaining startup funding is like winning the lottery but from the other side of the table, really, it's just another investment, and they are looking to secure a healthy profit. IMO I feel that the crypotcurrency market reached its saturation point a long time ago and that while technological advances are nice and new competitors are always healthy, the winners of this game have been determined a long time ago and will remain so as there continue to be new cryptocurrencies to the point of super-saturation.
