    WHAT'S WITH THE CANNAFARM LTD TROLL BRIGADE? They sound like Yevgeny Prigozhin's Saint Petersburg troll farm. Course by now there's a half-dozen other countries that could be meddling here.

    I dont know, dudes. I think crypto and all these ICOs are just a bubble. Well, crypto is good for transfers and so on, but I dont engage in trading and staking either. Its too risky. My friend recently lost $5000 there. I invest crypto in real business
