    Republicans love $ too. So, a fraud scheme, yeah?

    That is a truly simplistic way of looking at things. Don’t. I am as left as you can possibly be and yet I absolutely hope that bitcoin and blockchain tech would take off.

    When I say blockchain tech, I don’t mean shiity scam coins, I mean “election data on an immutable public ledger” type of tech…

    One can dream.

      You don’t want elections anything mixed with computers until computer architectures are more robust and verifiable. Not to mention that to mess with elections takes much fewer resources when they’re digital than when you have to corrupt thousands of vote counters.

      I’m with you. However, the current state of things is not what I envision when I think of decentralized currency and immutable public ledgers.
