In November, the price of a single Bitcoin passed its previous record of $19,783, set in 2017. It has nearly doubled since — despite a dip of more than 25% on Monday.
The cryptocurrency has been around for over a decade, but hasn't won much attention from institutional investors until recently. And despite its volatility, some are making the case that we should start thinking about Bitcoin as an asset — suitable, even, for long-term investing.

ITHACA, N.Y.—The 2021 Winter Farmers Market has already started this past weekend, and will run every Saturday from now until the end of March. This year, though, the market is offering an online option to cater to those who are uncomfortable with shopping in person due to the coronavirus.

Amy Webb: In the aftermath of the attack on the Capitol, Eric Trump very publicly proclaimed that his family [was] being canceled. And it’s interesting to see the push-pull, the tension, between those seeking to cancel others and those complaining that they themselves have been canceled. This is one of these situations where the technology enabling all of this is both the megaphone, the infrastructure and also the “stop” button.

Oregon Association of Nurseries to host virtual marketplace | Coronavirus | eastoregonian.com
The virtual event, Niemi said, is intended to complement rather than replace the annual in-person Farwest Show, which is still tentatively planned for Aug. 18-20 if the pandemic is under control by then.
Many nursery owners are already part of a printed guide published annually called the Nursery Guide book, which typically has 300 pages of listings and content about Oregon nurseries.
