              bit-license
             </a>
             to allow its users to trade bitcoin through the company’s Cash App, and just a few days ago, it officially rolled out bitcoin transactions in

             <a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
              started in 2016
             </a>
             , Square’s Cash App evolved into a full service peer-to-peer mobile payment platform  -- and it’s already proving to be bad news for competitors like Venmo.

            <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
             With 33.5m total downloads, Square’s cash app grew
             <a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
              3x faster
             </a>
             than Venmo in July, surpassing the social payment platform in total downloads for the first time.

             Over the past few months, some have

            <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
             Square’s stock rose 2.5% and reached an all-time high of $75.15 (116% on the year), following Tuesday’s bit-license announcement

            <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
             And to all the haters who dogged them for not being profitable, the Cash App is expected to contribute $30-40m to their bottom line this year, with the potential to exceed $100m in sales by 2020.

             Ultra-luxury jeweler Tiffany &amp; Co. just signed a

              partnership

             Initially resisting the allure of e-commerce, Tiffany’s decision to play ball with ’Baba is proof that Alibaba’s aggressive courtship of luxury retailers is beginning to pay off.

             Until recently, Tiffany was one of many luxury brands to

              boycott

             When Alibaba joined the International AntiCounterfeiting Coalition 2 years ago, Tiffany, Gucci, and other lux-tailers dropped out because, in the

             But now, Tiffany &amp; Co. has caved to the inevitability of Alibaba and its e-commerce accomplices, joining Big ’Baba’s new ‘Luxury Pavilion’ to gain access to the growing Chinese luxury market.

             in the world’s biggest IPO in 2014, Ali-B has focused on attracting foreign brands by positioning itself as the ‘gateway to China.’ Last year, Alibaba launched its invite-only Luxury Pavilion, hoping to cater to affluent Chinese yuppies.

             The platform quickly attracted Burberry, Maserati, Hugo Boss, and La Mer, and now Tiffany -- positioning the company to succeed in a challenging luxury market that has proved elusive even to Amazon.

             California almond industry needs 30B bees a year to keep the nut-milk flowing, and it’s keeping the beekeeping industry afloat.

             But, the increased buzz has also contributed to a wave of competition and crime that has prevented individual beekeepers from sharing big uncle almond’s profits.

             The main problem is a bee disease called Colony Collapse Disorder that has caused 2x as many bees to die each winter (28%) than normal (15%).

             Unfortunately for Mitra, her options were few and far between. After consulting her family’s resident recipe-keeper, Mama Raman, Mitra discovered that her childhood favorites were surprisingly easy to make -- like just-add-water-easy.
