European Commissioner for Competition, Margrethe Vestager, just announced the EU’s third big antitrust fine against Google.

Bitcoin – the original cryptocurrency – has been around for a decade, but it’s still struggling to achieve mainstream adoption despite some major companies accepting it as a payment method. I remember when Overstock.com became the first major online retailer to start accepting Bitcoin in January 2014, sending ripples of excitement across the space. And although many businesses have followed suit since then, I’m wondering why doing so is still considered news. Good news for Bitcoin?
