    This fork is only demonstrating that bitcoin are created out of thin air in the first place and have no value beyond hype. They just created an equal amount of a new coin from thin air and it's supposed to immediately have value (just because they say so) while the original doesn't lose any? That's only possible in fantasyland. If the Treasury announced that they were immediately doubling the amount of money in existence then the value of one unit would drop by half. If the world's gold supply suddenly doubled then the price of an ounce would be diluted by half as well.

    Because there's no such thing as "free money"? And when someone promises you "free money" you can be assured it's a fraud?

  4. So what? on White House Officials Tricked By Email Prankster (cnn.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Let me get this straight. John Podesta gets fooled by a phishing attempt and suddenly the Russian government colluded with Trump to steal the election that Clinton was promised, but when someone in the Trump admin gets fooled by an email it's just a harmless prankster.

    " For some reason they feel (in their own country!) inferior to their foreign born fellow citizen." Because immigrants (and often illegal immigrants) are given subsidies and privileges that citizens do not get yet have to pay for.

    We know that as an absolute fact huh? Do you truly believe there is a single Trump voter who's today thinking to themselves "Dang, The Russians! tricked me!" You just can't possibly accept that millions of people would rather vote for an absolute clown than for your policies.

    Bullshit. You are saying that an American citizen speaking with a Russian citizen must be evidence of nefarious collusion. This is all so ridiculous. One thing is for certain, NONE of us are going to like living with these new rules you are inventing to rationalize losing an election that you feel was owed to someone else.

    What Russian hacking? There is still zero evidence! Everything points to the DNC leaks coming from the inside. This is all such bullshit. All you fools are doing is ensuring that no outsider will ever run for an election again.

    What crimes? The entire The Russians! hacked the elections bullshit was completely made up to undermine the process.

  13. Political purposes on Intelligence Chairman Accuses Obama Aids of Hundreds of Unmasking Requests (thehill.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This unmasking was for political purposes which makes it far worse. The sitting administration was running an intelligence op against the candidate of the opposition party. All the The Russians! bullshit is just a continuation of that op against the electorate.

  14. Asset bubbles are the problem. Inflating that bubble even more is not the solution, and that's exactly what happened with the 2008 bailouts. The real-estate bubble has grown so large that millions of people are going to be financially destroyed when that bubble pops. Not if, but when.

  15. What responsibility does Facebook have to you? How much of Facebook's money do you feel entitled to?

    These people don't work for Facebook. They work for a contractor.

  18. Second hand smoke is not "proven" to be a cause of cancer. Not a single study has ever shown that. You made that up.

    Trump has been well in front of gay issues for at least 30 years and was one of the first proponents of gay marriage, LONG before it was a popular position. Newsflash: this isn't just about you. Trannies in the military isn't just about the trannies, it's also about the other soldiers without mental illness that they endanger. They also can't afford to pay for the surgeries and the downtime during the "transition". The military cannot care about individuals feelings over the group.

    They're guessing on the "why" part. Hard to ask a dead person why they killed themselves. My guess is the guy woke up after surgery and realized that instead of magically becoming a women he's actually still a dude that just cut his dick off.

    You're wrong about that. A male who believes that he'll become female if he cuts off his penis has a mental disorder by every definition.
