The most important thing to watch out for in this type of articles is for this push by certain anti-market interests to not succeed in a mining or even an outright Bitcoin ban in the West. They are using both environmental angle and an terr

There are two counter arguments: 1. As real US infrastructure and capacity continues to crumble, the government could become less and less effective in its enforcements. As an extreme example (first hand) you won't find police on the r

Flash is better than HTML5. If Google instead of Adobe bought Macromedia, and open sourced it (at least in the read-only mode like Android), things could have turned out very different: it could have been a part of Chromium and a web standa

Bing is actually much better than DDG (for recent near real time results) and now it's in many cases better than Google (less SEO spam, probably due to its size). It is also more politically neutral than Google in its results - I start

Gold has been confiscated by FDR. Bitcoin clamp down is coming: we have recently learned from Yellen that it's primarily a terrorist tool, and that it also causes global warming.
