#Bitcoin has always maintained a proximity to the elite class of financial privilege. That its inevitable entropy tilts the scale further in this direction is consistent with the agnostic cruelty of Nature itself. This realization is the piercing squeal of the modern Progressive.

@GHOSTawyeeBOB Bingo. If any historical comparison is to serve, it may go the way of Prohibition, which saw grain production reserved for the war as opposed to alcohol. A parallel with electricity could be theorized but then again, all theories work in theory.

Intrastate rail and truck shipments are not interstate commerce simply because they cross state lines. See Baltimore & Ohio Sw. R.R. Co. v. Settle, 260 U.S. 166 (1922).
