Value in a Crypto Currency comes from the community behind it. The people who mine coins have a strong want to see them used, so the miners readily support fledgling coin based businesses and deals. Further demand comes when a crypto currency becomes available to trade on an exchange it has a chance to gain money from traders and investors.

If this process can grow then the currency will increase in value.

Bullshit or no bullshit; that's the way it is. You wanna change it? You think you can do that, and have a plant built, before other renewable sources are cheaper than this potential nuclear plant? We've got to play the cards we're dealt

In some places solar plants are thriving and already are the cheapest form of energy

The cheap clean energy is here, and it's getting cheaper. The price of solar is falling fast.

If you're looking to invest more than $50 on LED light bulbs then today's solar is very cheap these days. Here is a retailer that sells some residential panels for only 0.79 per watt. Solar will only continue from here to become even cheaper

Attempting to Build a nuclear plant has large upfront costs, takes 20 years, and often results in a half-way cancelled project. By the time a plant could be built, and become operational, other forms of energy such as solar will have since grown cheaper than the cost electricity from the new nuclear plant

The red states get the defense dollars because the South has warm weather year-round and the West has cheap land for bombing ranges and secrecy.

.....wat?

Horses are much smarter than cows, and respond much more favorably to human direction. Though cows also poop when faced with anything stressful. The thing is that cows get stressed out by pretty much anything else that isn't another cow. Hence they just crap everywhere.

Cows aren't really that smart or independent. A cow will not go off on its own to take a crap. Nor will it be smart enough to realize why it is getting food.

Most likely you'll just have cows accidentally get a treat, the other cows will see this, become jealous, and then crowd the reward bowl until they break it.

There is no way in hell a cow is going to poop in a specific place. They crap everywhere, constantly. It's just their response to most events.

Many a time a cow raised its posture, stared me directly in the eyes, and then crapped itself with a defiant glare.

I've been poor as hell before. I don't recall any magic force pulling me into porn

Sounds like the answer to most every question in science class can now be answered, "Because a wizard did it".

Woe be it to the teacher who questions the "Get out of Science Class"-Wizard!

Nuclear plants take 20 to 25 years to build. Even if a nuclear project starts today, its cost will be much more expensive than solar energy by the time it can open.

You believe the Forex market is manipulated, and so you do not trade in it correct? They have a bad reputation with you.

That's the point I was going for

Nope, they collect information based on IP address for those not on FB too

There's a thing called reputation. If the reputation of these prediction markets is that they are manipulated then no on will trust them.

If a news outlet takes information from these manipulated markets, knowing they are manipulated, then that network was really just arbitrarily picking up pieces of data that appear to support whichever political party that station is allied to. They would have found anything that works to support their dialog.
