Hearn: The resolution of the Bitcoin experiment

Contrary to popular belief, Hitler wasn't actually elected by the German people, he was artificially installed as chancellor of the German Reich by the Reich president, Hindenburg. In fact, in the last non-rigged election Hitler's party actually lost votes compared to the one before that, and didn't achieve a parliamentary majority that would have been sufficient to form a government (which is why Hindenburg stepped in). To be fair, Hindenburg wasn't a huge fan of Hitler's either – Hindenburg was popular as a general and war hero and used to think of Hitler, who had fought for a time during WWI, as “that Bohemian corporal” –, but by that time he was quite elderly and his advisors assured him that a coalition government consisting mostly of Conservatives that included only two Nazi ministers apart from Hitler himself as chancellor couldn't be so bad.

Also, when Hitler came to power, the German hyper-inflation had been over for 10 years or so. There was a period of several years of relative stability and prosperity between the hyper-inflation and the Great Depression, and the latter did contribute to the political that eventually led to the Nazis coming to power.
