17. Crypto Won't Happen

The Tech Bros are fooling themselves.

The Federal Reserve looked hard at crypto for quite some time, and came away with the conclusion that it is both too volatile and too easy to corrupt. Similarly, if they were to go that route, they would create a US e-currency that would very quickly crowd out BTC and ETH, rendering them little more than a bad joke. The tech bros are not going to get the dollar concession, period.

As to Johnson - yes, I've considered that possibility as well. However, the House is not yet in Republican hands, and while it likely will be, the margin is going to be paper thin, especially since the outstanding races are all in purple areas that could go blue (it could end up being 217-215 R, or even 217-215 D). This is going to be very hard for Trump to get ANY legislation through. Trump can declare anything he wants (and no doubt he will try to run by executive order) but getting past the House is likely to be the hurdle he'll hit frequently. What's more, even a couple of defections to the Ds could shift power to the Democrats), and we are frankly not in any mood to help the Republicans OR Johnson at this point.
