We claim what now? Mexico didn't ever pay for the wall, if that's what you mean. I think the economy should be good for society, and that people should be able to prosper if they work, having enough money to pay the costs of the t

Yeah, but nobody is teaching that. Nobody is going in and telling kids that they are helpless victims. That's just fox news nonsense. Which environment is easier to influence, one in which you are more aware of underlying factors, or o

Honestly? Because I'm ignorant. I just quickly checked DDS for a list of actual proof of stake coins, since I knew about proof of stake only as something that was happening eventually for ethereum, picked a random result on the first s

Interesting. There are a bunch of variants, but it seems like there are three main ways of handling crypto. Bitcoin is proof of work, which of course requires a lot of electricity. Some coins, like Neo/CutCoin are proof of stake, which
