Beating Donald Trump is a huge motivator for Sanders’ 2020 run. The Vermont Senator branded Trump an “embarrassment.” I'm running for president.

At The Drive Stephen Edelstein says, “That’s bad news for Uber as the company looks to charm investors into an initial public offering (IPO) later this year.” Maybe. But maybe not. Focusing on the high tech taxi company’s negative profits in 2018 might be missing the bigger picture of the value it represents over a bump in the road. It is an understatement to say Uber has no problem making money. The 2017 and 2018 “losses” aren’t because of bad

However, unlike the others, BSV has a nearly 44% majority who are “unknown,” according to data published by Coin.Dance. Comparing the above to Bitcoin’s same period chart, about 500% of the blocks in Bitcoin SV are mined by “unknown” compared to Bitcoin. The situation led a Reddit user, who probably didn’t notice that the “unknown” miner doesn’t have to be a single outfit, to ask if an attack “is developing.” Three Pools Control Far More Than Anyone Else in Bitcoin

As the one-day chart above shows, EOS is far above the important $3 mark, resting comfortably at $3.50 after over $2 billion in volume. Comparing markets,
