Another negative point to throw on the pile. Cryptocurrency has been overhyped to an unbelievable degree. It is environmentally harmful and generally a nuisance. I like making money off of wildly fluctuating markets as much as the next guy, but cryto is, at least in its current form, pretty damn stupid. All this enthusiasm for something which, as of now, there still isn't really a good use case for, is crazy.


Just waiting for this insane cryptocurrency bubble to pop hard. Riches are being made, but a ton of people are going to end up broke and broken, and the bigger the bubble grows the worse the popping will be.


Yay, hopefully no more jankiness. Maybe I can actually use Atom again.


Time to get rid of credit agencies as a whole. They are entirely useless. Make a Government agency that handles it instead of trusting the private industry to make as much profit as they can to the detriment of damn near everyone.


Jazz is good too, for those of us who like jazz :P


Yeah, but I don't remember hearing chants of "lock him up" during the election, despite his nearly endless list of unethical and potentially illegal financial transactions. Oh, and let's not forgot about Russia hacking the DNC and giving it WikiLeaks. Little by little, they gave up more to Assange, so that the outrage machine would never die out. Putin threw the democrats into complete chaos, and Sanders didn't do much to help, what with his, "oh it's a rigged election" BS. Trump took that line straight from Bernie: "This election is rigged you know". Pathological liars and unethical monsters should not be running the only real superpower in the world, barring China.


Polls indicated Sanders would have beaten Trump. The DNC damaged itself at least as much as it was damaged by hacking.


Trump is bought and paid for by corporations. He may pretend to be POTUS, but all he is doing is serving his own self-interest, which most of the time screws anyone who doesn't make 60k+ a year. All the tax breaks he's proposing would bankrupt our country. Frankly FCC rules are low on my list of fears with this maniac. It's time to impeach already. Every single thing he has done in office has been detrimental to the American people.


And so the internet dies...


This feels like some kind of hippy-tainted ultra-hispterism to me.


Am I the only person that thinks this is a terrible idea? I couldn't stand living in a van for a month, let alone any extended period of time. The only way I'd do it is to save money; that's not the kind of adventure I consider fun. I'm also not the sort of person who sits around drooling over other peoples' adventures, so I guess I'm not the target audience here.
