gollark: Oh yes, just calculate SHA256 hashes on paper.
gollark: Hardly. You can probably make it fairly impractical by banning exchanging it for fiat currency and stuff.
gollark: Just stop considering orbital death rays a problem.Anyway, apparently the "federal reserve" is likely to increase interest rates some amount next year. Someone elsewhere said that that would probably be bad for the stock market. Is that accurate?
