Required fields Unless you ve been living under a rock for the past few months, you ve likely heard about the skyrocketing cryptocurrency known as Bitcoin. For years, savvy investors have gobbled up the speculative currency in hopes of striking it rich, but the number of places to actually spend that digital cash has been, well…. pretty lackluster. According to Statista, an estimated
6% of Americans use or own cryptocurrency. However, that number could be higher based on tangential information from companies like Coinbase, which recently revealed that it had
surpassed 40 million users. It was not mentioned how many of those users were based in the United States.

A group of senior business leaders say unless there is full transparency on the recommendations from a new Government Covid advisory panel it risks being seen as a cynical tactic aimed at dampening criticism.
The public call is the latest move by the group which includes chairman of Chorus NZ and Auckland Airport, Patrick Strange; Mercury Energy chair Prue Flacks; The Warehouse Group chairwoman Joan Withers; chairman of SkyCity, Summerset and Tourism Holdings Rob Campbell; and University of Auckland chancellor and Fisher & Paykel Healthcare chairman Scott St John.

Russia will block Twitter in one month unless the U.S. social media giant complies with a demand to remove banned content, Russian news agencies cited a senior regulatory official as saying on Tuesday.
Moscow said last week it had slowed down the speed of Twitter inside Russia in retaliation for what it described as a failure to remove a specific list of banned content.
