Many freepers are just now coming to recognize the BC as a “real” issue. They’ll be looking for a synopsis thread or a place to start reading so they can get caught up.

A second non-partisan approach is to follow the thread I started on Intrade. Note that Intraders are now coming around to wanting a contract to trade on this issue.
