The Winklevii want to become the Bitcoin police Or at least they want to spearhead a self-regulation movement for the industry, which is currently such a free-for-all that Google is banning all cryptocurrency ads from its platform. 7. Stephen Hawking has died at 76 Renowned and revolutionary physicist Stephen Hawking has passed away at the age of 76, which is a blow to anyone who ever sought to understand the stars, our existence and everything in between. He will be missed, to say the least. |
