The real answer is that the show wants you to stay paranoid

There is definitely enough evidence at this point that I think it's clearly deliberate, but it could still turn out to be a red herring of some kind. Either way, the showrunners have won me over enough that I trust them to give me something cool

Bitcoins would never become important no matter what global crisis happened

They are only important if you want drugs

TV IV never changes.
There are folks that watch TV who miss details or don't understand scenes because they watch casually and aren't paying close attention. Then there are people who obsessively look into every detail and rigidly dissect and discuss them on the Internet. TV IV is the rare intersection of people who pour over every detail while still missing everything and understanding none of it

I liked whoever's theory it was that the lucid dream Elliot is experiencing is actually the 3 days we missed

I expect the show to stay consistently pretty good while occasionally disappearing up its own rear end all the way to the end, I'm on board I think

How is this a mixed feeling episode? The kid is totally another manifestation that'll crush Elliot when he realizes it was a way for him/Mr. Robot to avoid suicide. (The lesbian shoe scene + some of the self consciousness around gay manifesting in the lobby thanks to stereotype drug dealer.) He might've talked to Angela, but she's still seriously hosed up after doing something drat near unforgivable. And our once cleaned up hero has a big bag of morphine to get re addicted with. This is all just salt on the wound, made for worrying be Elliot going back to bad blackmail hacking habits.

ETA: STOP BEING OPTIMISTIC YOU FUCKS

Everything went a little farkakte for a while, but in the end humans actually perservere
