I'm surprised nobody paid trump a ton of money to bash a crypto currency so that all the trump "haters" would buy it up and increase the price. Or why trump didn't just do that himself. Then maybe he wouldn't be as

This is the same concept as a blameless post-mortem. Or the difference between the end of WWI and WWII peace treaty wise. You can blame and morally demonize the right all you want; and you make a reasonable argument why you'd be correc

IF a company's terms of service refer (or intend to refer) to some kind of external standard (such as federal law) why should the company itself have the power to determine what does or doesn't meet that standard. In the USA, ther
