How do you view cryptocurrency’s role in the future economy?

68% Overhyped, it’s too unstable
20% I don't know enough about it
12% Essential, it’s the future of finance

Email	Comments
jerc...	Crypto is a con and worthless for the economy.
gmac...	There’s currently little to no oversight on Crypto, which makes it too risky for my portfolio. My financial plan is to be conservative and use my finances to increase my wealth. I have no desire to gamble with my money during a very unstable economy.
wlof...	For sure the POTUS hopes to get richer by doing this.
eahu...	Obviously, no backing. More like a Ponzi scheme. Period. Never.
tria...	Once Trump minions begin to manipulate this market it will be more unstable.
dian...	But if the government has anything to do about it, particularly Trump‘s government, I wouldn’t trust it at all.
rjna...	Just follow Trump’s many financial positions and interests in cryptocurrencies and that will shed light on his decision to create national cryptocurrency stockpile.
kimk...	Only Trump would do something like this.
joll...	Morons
alan...	Let me know when I can walk to the corner and buy a banana with crypto. It’s a bullshit concept used to move air and convert it to hard currency with zero accountability.
tere...	Carlatans' delight: a fool and his money are soon parted. Our charlatan in chief distracts with this foolery while picking our pockets with the other hand.
jhck...	I see no need for it and see it benefiting only the wealthy investors who can manage the risks of an unstable asset.
geor...	I try to keep up with specific newsletters about Cryptocurrency, but no one has yet to show me how it is tangible and is backed by something. That’s the difficult part for me. I guess it might be OK for our government to use the Cryptocurrency seized by our government to experiment with it, but still not sure it wouldn’t be better to turn that into cash to pay down the debt.
cand...	I'm concerned about it being unstable and I'm not sure I want the government getting involved in stabilizing it.
dcas...	Wow. How interesting that so many people don't know... Didn't they just hear the American President declare that he was going to print dollars to buy XRP, SOL, ADA. And of course, BTC and ETH. ¡¡WAKE UP!!
rola...	All about Trump trying to please his rich buddies.
greg...	Its for criminals to evade the bank system. There is enough criminal money to keep the value afloat. Think JP Morgan wading into the NYSE to stop a crash in 1907. Now there will be a soveriegn fund.
rjre...	This is just another money making scheme for trump to make money off of his position
jill...	I would like to learn more about it to understand it better. I think at this point it could be a double edged sword.
yesh...	I will never use it.
ugin...	It is 5% of my portfolio.
pier...	A Ponzi scheme with no asset value.
kpnj...	Another grift by Trump
bern...	Anything the orange asshat gets his hands into involving money and investing is sure to be some kind of cheating or corruption of the American people. HE BANKRUPTED A CASINO FOR GODS SAKE! NO THANKS!
klst...	Sounds like a giant possibility scheme.
rsle...	It's IMAGINARY money that can be gone in an instant.
gmac...	Only the faith of its believers backs its value
uuce...	Gambling
urmi...	unsure about its stability and security
mwto...	Seems a few years ago I read something about the computing power and energy demands needed to support crypto currencies. Still not clear on the details there or how the value is determined.
jimb...	Crypto cannot be the new Dollar....
hard...	Pretty sure Trump is doing this to line his pockets
llou...	Using taxpayer money to buy speculative crypto is at best, a poor use of funds that pay off some of the deficit by a fiscally irresponsible man who has claimed bankruptcy seven times. At worst, it’s a Ponzi scheme from a know con artist.
chas...	It's a complete ponzee scheme.
cola...	This is robbing tax payers right in front of our faces, historical heist and your reporting is ridiculous.
oldg...	We’re still early. There’s only one Bitcoin.
leek...	This century's snake oil medicine
jton...	Not a stable or secure store of wealth. It will enable criminality such as money laundering. Ultimately it is a Ponzi scheme.
jema...	It is basically an unstable scam backed by nothing but huge banks of supercomputers that waste billions of watt/hours of electricity and spew millions of tons of carbon dioxide into our already polluted atmosphere which accelerates global warming. The whole scheme should be outlawed. If it continues unchecked, all of Florida and much of the US coastlines will be underwater in the next 50 years.
caro...	I don’t understand how it is better than what we have
glew...	And I have oceanfront property in Yuma Arizona for sale. It’s a hoax, pure and simple.
jrv1...	Too easy to manipulate. No regulation
tklh...	As individual cryptos are finite in number - accepting that there can be infinite cryptos - and their value can fluctuate dramatically, their usefulness as a financial tool for any government seems overstated.
ham3...	It's still a video game and fiat currency based on hyps
suzi...	To put our tax dollars into crypto and bitcoin is amazingly irresponsible
desa...	Very mixed information about crypto. Also concerned about the enormous power needs for servers.

Should European nations increase military spending to support Ukraine?

82% Yes, defense spending should rise
18% No, focus on diplomacy

Email	Comments
mart...	With military backing Ukraine can then can come table and create terms that favor them.
atli...	An unjust peace is better than a just war
arth...	Americans should just say “ jump in there Europe! We’ve got your back, the same as we did in 1943!” Maybe it’s high time for us to again consider withdrawing from Europe’s wars and let them tax their people for their own defense. We must watch China along with our Pacific Allies. Taiwan is a future war.
gmac...	European members of NATO can no longer rely on the U. S. to continue its financial and military aid to Ukraine. Trump and Vance, want to play games with Europe’ s stability. Inviting Zelensky to the White House, only to attack him and question his dedication to Ukraine. Trump and Vance are like playground bullies, who want your lunch money on exchange for not beating up on you. It sure would be nice to see actual Statesman in the White House, again, instead of the current clown show. Trump and Vance will continue to play dirty politics while consolidating the government, until we become another third world country.
hone...	Ukraine must survive.
casa...	Diplomacy does not work with Putin, unless it is backed by the treat of military engagement.
dkel...	I support a diplomatic solution that must include a guarantee of protection from Russian invasion. Without that , Russia will continue to advance across Europe.
roci...	But it is time to end this war once and for all, otherwise it could last for decades.
lewi...	I believe the US should continue to support Ukraine. The future of Ukraine and future stability of Eastern Europe is at stake.
urmi...	Having spent billions of dollars from the US, Russia has seized significant portion of Ukraine's valuable land. In spite of continued pouring of money and losing many lives of people, it seems like a very hard war to win. Focus on diplomacy and means to ensure permanent security for Ukraine is more important.
char...	The US has shouldered the burden of NATO long enough. NATO is one sided. We protect Europe but the possibility of them needing to fight to defend the US is very small. It really is one way protection.
geor...	Absolutely. We must keep our promise to Ukraine based on the 1994 Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons which the US, Russia and the United Kingdom promised to respect Ukraine's independence and sovereignty. Ukraine agreed and transferred their nuclear weapons to Russia to be dismantled! So we must keep our promise and defend Ukraine. Since our President doesn’t believe in honoring our commitments by supporting Ukraine, then all the other European countries and hopefully Asian countries as well as Australia and New Zealand, etc. will participate. Our President appears to be working on giving Ukraine to Putin! We can’t allow that to happen - so whatever it takes to stop this foolishness our President is trying, other countries need to help.
jros...	And we should not stop ours.
susa...	Russia wants to take over & the US is behind Putin. Sounds crazy but that's the sobering fact.
tere...	The Russian bear will forage wherever fencing fails to restrain it.
jimb...	Take the fight to Russian territory
jhck...	The Europeans are directly threatened by Russia and need to protect themselves since the US is no longer a reliable guarantor.
jame...	Glad to see that Europe has not lost its way. I guess that when you have faced more one invasion by an unreliable tyrant (see Chamberlain’s “peace in our time”) you learn that you cannot negotiate with a Putin. If Putin gets anything other then directions back to Russia with his body bags (which he and North Korea have no interest in) he has won Russia was run out of Afghanistan with nothing to show for it. After what he has done to the people of Ukraine he should be humiliated. I used to think that Russia should be given the use of a corridor to its base in Crimea as long as he respected Ukraine’s sovereignty (see US Berlin access through Russia’s zone) but no more. He needs to be hurt bad
caro...	There's a vacuum in diplomacy, now that the US has an administration who is inept and incapable at it, plus doesn't respect the need to invest in soft power. There should be a third option in this poll for those of us who believe both should be the pathway forward. Obvi defense spending for Ukraine must continue and ideally be increased, but that goes hand-in-hand with diplomacy.
zack...	It does seem that the main powers in Europe want to continue this war. Ukraine obviously wants to as well. The entire thing is tragic!
rsle...	BOTH are necessary
jrv1...	Fair share
cica...	Yes, they need to spend more on defense. Frankly, the only thing Putin understands is brute force. We should’ve been supplying Ukraine with long range, weapons, and F-16s and everything else they needed from the beginning.
fcse...	Now that the U.S. favors Russia, the European countries need to step up and support Ukraine with all that they have. Canada will be the North American party.
lesa...	There is no diplomacy with Putin.
re13...	Since WWII, the United States has provided military aid to Europe. It's time, past time, for the major European countries to step forward and assist the countries in their zone. Liberal governments in the EU have to acknowledge reality and be prepared for a good defense without looking to the US
shoe...	Putin won’t be satisfied with just the Ukrainian territory he’s already taken; he’ll be back there or in the Balkans to grab more if we don’t stop him.
robs...	ABSOLUTELY, since Europe is 100% advocating to continue supporting Ukraine in continuing to fight, and Europe should drain Russia & of its arms, munitions and soldiers until China grows tired of doing the same to Ukraine. Europe needs to pay their fair share to NATO as well.
atta...	An armed unelected bureaucracy is a terrible thing.
19pi...	Yes, Europe has to help Ukraine fight Putin. Putin is a bad man.
hard...	Diplomacy is not feasible with Russia Europe needs defense against invasion
jema...	Definitely!!! The EU, NATO (including the US), and the UK should seize all the frozen Russian assets currently residing in their banks (roughly $300 Trillion including interest) and send it to Ukraine to use to defend and rebuild their country. Putin is vulnerable right now due to his raping the Russian economy to feed his war machine. The only just end to this war of aggression is complete withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukranian territory including Crimea and the Donbas1
jill...	I, like some many others, am ashamed at how trump vance treated Zelensky. We need to support Ukraine.
ianp...	The first option does not preven5bthe second option. A really stupid question

Should Israel continue blocking aid to Gaza until all hostages are released?

56% Yes, pressure is necessary
44% No, humanitarian aid should be separate

Email	Comments
hard...	Israel needs to stop all aggression move out of Gaza amd rebuild what they have destroyed Israel needs to face consequences ofvtheir war crimes of bombing hospitals and starving the population Israel needs to exit both Gaza and West Bank and stop their persection of Palestinians
abue...	The original negotiated agreement should be respected in all stages. Israel is trying to modify the terms on the fly
zack...	Hamas will never settle for peace. This fight will never end until Hamas is eradicated. More death is unavoidable
bill...	Israel's image in the world suffers for actions like this, which I find iinexcusable.
shar...	What other country provides food, medical supplies and other aid to its enemy?
lvca...	Israel has killed tens of thousands, including thousands of women and children - enough is enough. Yes, increase the pressure on Hamas, but don’t do this to people who are completely innocent. They are already in a living hell. This makes Israel worse than Hamas!
dsis...	Its time to put pressure on Hamas to release the hostages and give up its losing battle so the Palestinian can rebuild and have a govt that believes in peace and let Gaza grow economically
casa...	Israel is guilty of war crimes. Humanitarian aid should never be a negotiating prop. Gaza and the West bank belong to Palestinians. The illegal settlements, apartheid policies against Palestinians is what led to this war. "When the little Army fights the big Army, they are labelled terrorists." regardless of who is the aggressor.
re13...	Hamas extorts their own people. They ste an evil terrorist group with no intention of making peace with Israel. If the Palestinians cannot abide by the two-state solution, which they have repeatedly demonstrated they choose not to, they need to be relocated
merl...	I hit the wrong button by accident. Humanitarian aid must be separate.
lesl...	If you want supplies, then DON'T INVADE ANOTHER COUNTRY!
will...	Since no one is pushing for humanitarian aid to the innocent hostages, who should never have been kidnapped in the first place, no reciprocal humanitarian aid is indicated.
visi...	Genocide is unacceptable. Starving people is unacceptable. Netanyahu is a war criminal. He will not stop until all the Palestians are removed or dead.
amel...	Humanitarian Aid is essential. The people of Gaza are not responsible for the hostages taken, nor are they able to release them. Why are their lives not as important at Israeli lives?
zkor...	This was practiced in Medieval times and Jews were also victims of this but it is not an excuse now. Commiting crime in response to the crime is not a way for civilized country to behave.
perm...	Obviously, Hamas cares nothing for the people or they would, first of all, have never attacked Israel; and secondly, would willing release all of the hostages, both alive and murdered.
rols...	Hamas is a gang of thugs
jvkm...	Israel is committing war crimes and deprivation to the Palestinians .
mich...	The people of Gaza are innocent. They should not continue to suffer and die because of the actions of Hamas.
joll...	O M G. I can’t believe I am even in the same space as people who would rather starve children than keep BIbi accountable for his lies. There hasn’t been a real ceasefire as Israel has violated it hundreds of times. You people have the blood of children on your hands. Did you even look at the best documentary that won at the Oscar’s last night. Israel is a terrorist state! The terror enacted by the state of Israel is 2000% more destructive than any attempt for attention enacted by Hamas. It is plainly in front of you when each and every hostage released is in exchange for 100+ of Palestinian “hostages” - who are ruthlessly kidnapped and tortured Palestinian civilians. See the documentation of kidnapped children tortured hospital personnel and journalists, they call prisoners! Why did we support Ukraine against the big bully aggressor. And yet we sponsor the colonizer oppression of Israel. The goal of Israel is to ethnically cleanse Gaza and the West Bank. They are racist religious extremists. And it is all supported by in the U S by racist Israeli supporting billionaires. Israel had no intention of keeping the ceasefire, they honestly do not care about the hostages, just how they had no defense available on Oct 7….even with the billions and billions in US support - where is DOGE? when it comes to this extreme waste of taxpayer $$!
jimb...	Blocking aid is ok if u believe that starvation of civilians is a reasonable war tactic
cola...	I am more disappointed in your reporting, this is a genocide
tere...	murders and blackmailers, the innocent victims - mirror images
arth...	Continue to eradicate HAMAS. They are on the run like sprayed roaches now. Don’t let them regroup.
hone...	Netanyahu is a war criminal.

Are you more optimistic or pessimistic about the US economy in 2025?

78% Pessimistic, more trouble ahead
22% Optimistic, it will stabilize

Email	Comments
jema...	The Trump tax on consumers (tariffs) have not yet impacted the US economy to the full extent. They will increase the inflation rate, tank consumer spending, and create havoc throughout the economy, not just in the US, but worldwide. Not to mention Trump's (Elon's) continuing .massive federal job cuts which are already increasing the jobless rate
jame...	To many moving parts in uncharted territory. To much new increased spending and not enough tough spending reduction. afraid the increased deficit will survive and the meaningful deficit will be abandoned
rsle...	Elect a criminal with a record of loving bankruptcy and THAT is what you will get, criminal bankruptcy, a Crypto reserve of imaginary money and citizens sick and dying from lack of Medicaid
jill...	I do not think we have even seen to beginning of the change yet. trump will not leave without scorching the US this time.
cica...	Everything coming out of Trump‘s mouth, just screams of incompetence and stupidity. And pretty much everything he’s doing. Laying off thousands of government workers isn’t good for the economy. Tariffs or an active war and a tax on the Americans, consumer and economy. The election wasn’t stolen in 2020. And there was no witch on Donald Trump is walking crime scene. The only person weaponizing the justice department is Donald Trump. The investigations were legitimate, regardless of what he says. he’s a pathological liar
lvca...	Our government is being pillaged and decimated, and that has devastating downstream effects. Tariffs are being used promiscuously. And there is more to come. We’ll be lucky if we have anything left worthwhile in the coming months ahead.
casa...	We cannot gut public service, fire thousands of federal employees, kill billions of dollars in government contracts, use tariffs to stifle trade, and continue to ignore public health threats to humans and livestock without devastating results.
rols...	Too much debt! Cut foreign aid. Focus on USA!
atli...	Tariffs, cutting essential federal jobs, and threatening social security are not helping.
fcse...	Trumps tariffs will increase costs. Price on large items will increase. Ordinary consumer spending will decrease.
lowe...	It seems spending is usually down in the early months of the year. Every business I have been a part of has usually been in the red for sales vs forecast early in the year, so what would be different about households. There is always a buzz or concern about tax returns too. Most people are paying more taxes when they do their returns these days.
kpnj...	Trump is terrain. Steers by gut feeling
gmac...	Trump knows nearly nothing about economics and the little he does know is wrong. Tariffs raise prices, they don’t lower them. They do increase the government’s wealth, but that doesn’t put it back in consumers pockets.
rick...	Trump short sighted, as usual. Don’t trust his numbers & his people. Need oversight!
mark...	Trump and Musk
jwtu...	Trump will sort it out.
mary...	Trump and Musk will destroy the middle class
suzi...	Tariffs become tit for tat and no one wins - does the president not remember “the very good trade deal” he is in his last term or is this all Master Musk?
jhck...	Trump’s wild policies will hurt the standing of the dollar and force a devaluation which will trigger a recession.
zack...	It will take time to fixed the previous admins massive failures!
pegg...	If Trump passes the tariffs, we are cooked
runn...	Tariffs will be inflationary and consumer spending will decline
cb10...	We had a good economy during the past 4 years. With trump in, the economy will be affected by all the uncertainty and chaos he brings.
uuce...	Headed for recession
deb....	No confidence in current administration handling of economy
mds4...	Chaos in government. Fired public employees and lack of good leadership will effect economy and lack of leadership for the world will effect world economy.
arth...	The economy will improve significantly by the fall of 2025.
mwto...	As the new policies and Federal jobs are shutdown, expect a recession as the middle class and poor take a big hit financially with impacts to housing, home goods, the auto and other industries dependent upon income certainty.
sbg1...	Politics is creating a lot of uncertainty, which may lead to greater inflation and looks like unemployment
desa...	Tariffs, loss of workers due to immigration issues, huge addition of unemployed due to musk actions, increased inefficiency in government services.
jrv1...	Tariffs won’t help pricing or consumer confidence. I don’t have a clear picture of how Trump policy will stimulate growth. Aspirationally Administration has right idea, but in reality if you create too many enmities they will gang up on you
hard...	Trump policies will destroy our economy
berk...	Trump is an idiot

Which best describes your view on space exploration?

62% Exciting and necessary for progress
31% Overhyped and wasteful
7% Other

Email	Comments
jton...	Too many unresolved problems on Earth to spend enormous amounts on space travel. National defense is a separate issue.
atli...	We need to more tightly regulate private excursions.
char...	Waste of money. Our fiscal deficits are huge. Space exploration is a great place to reduce spending. Let private businesses continue if they choose, on their own dime.
tmj6...	Both necessary but clearly overhyped
ebr....	We need to be aware of space junk and debris that may come in contact with Earth however, there are many problems here on our planet that need addressing. Elon’s Space X should be shelved for at least the next four years.
arth...	Every major technological invention has come out of the space programs. We would not likely be as far advanced today, if there were no space efforts. Trillions upon trillions of dollars have been recognized from space efforts.
mark...	As long as Musk doesn't profit
gmac...	Most people don’t ever think about mankind's
momz...	Space is an exciting frontier, but with the enormity of the problems here on Earth (US), it is hard to focus on at this time.
casa...	I have no problem with space exploration per se. However, I remember the pride I felt with the first moonwalk when I watched it on TV as a little kid. Space exploration should belong to all of humanity, not just a stunt that makes rich people richer.
19pi...	We need to fight climate change not screw up space like we have planet.
jtmm...	I have to say it is exciting but with that being said, what could’ve all that money done for people here on earth, in countries and communities that are really struggling. 🤔
berk...	Fix earth problems first.
zkor...	It is one thousand times less than money spent on destruction in Ukraine and pollution of our Earth with missiles explosions. This is one thousand times better spent money than on killing people.
tere...	Imagination versus timidity
land...	Exciting but if we're going to reduce spending this and other space ventures needs reevaluated
suzi...	Really with everything going on today this is how to waste money

Do you think herpes is taken less seriously than it should be?

82% Yes, people underestimate it
18% No, it’s already well-known

Email	Comments
sand...	Not enough attention is being paid to finding a cure, especially considering the stigma associated with HSV2 and the anguish it causes for those afflicted
ebr....	Sickness increases as the body is under more stress and pressure. It makes sense.
rons...	I was infected at age 50 by kissing a possible wife.
jton...	It’s a health hazard that can cause serious damage and suffering. If it can be better managed we should strive to learn how to do so.
atli...	An example of the need to fund scientific research.
