The price of other crypto's reliant on GPU's will also fall with the price of Bitcoin, likely making them unprofitable. GPU prices are fairly cheap right now to be honest. I just picked up a GTX 1060 6GB for $139.

And now that research is available to society as a whole to benefit them in an open and likely now cheap way. Some already super rich people and companies lost money, but so what? I'm sure they'll be able to put food on their fami

What are they stealing? Ideas? Thoughts?

So? This is just rich people whining about someone else being able to make their products much cheaper. The whole world benefits from this, just not already super rich patent & trademark holders who are anti-competitive & hurt consu

I know a lot of people in Engineering jobs at Facebook, Valve, Amazon, Google with no degrees who dropped out of College in their first year. The stigma that you need paid education is gone from at least tech jobs, which judging by your men

How about electing a fascist dictator that wants to genocide the left in his country, and deforest the rainforest by opening it to western companies? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/oct/18/brazil-j

What about the much more dangerous domestic misinformation/disinformation campaigns? The ones that make you go buy a 12 pack of Coke you don't need that's going to effect your health. What about things like COINTELPRO? What a
