>Clinton said that once in a private meeting. It was a campaign fundraising event. >Trump insults Democrats on a daily bases on Twitter. When has he anything disparaging about 1/2 American citizens who voted for her? Trumps tweets are about fake news media (dems and repubs) and the Democrats in government. >Guess who has control of the presidency and both houses of congress and is failing to reform immigration though the House as we speak?

The only researcher trying to quantify Bitcoin's energy use spoke to Motherboard about opening Bitcoin's 'black box.'
