#Social 经济衰退前夕，比尔盖茨在美国北达科它州买下相当于香港面积的土地。此地靠近美加边境，北边是加国曼省。此事引发州最高检查院介入，因为源引美国大萧条时期的法律，企业不得在此州占有土地，此条法律是为了保护在经济衰退期间的农民，防止企业乘机低价收购农民私地。现在历史又走到了这个轮回，此前Gates已经在美国购入了大约相当于美国农地1%面积的农田，成为美国头号地主。更有意思的是最近有一条新闻，中国一家公司也在附近购入300英亩土地，而附近有美军无人机基地。不知道两件事是否有关联性。

You may also find that some small local retailers or certain websites take Bitcoin, but you’ll have to do some digging. That said, PayPal has announced that it will enable cryptocurrency as a funding source for purchases this year, financing purchases by automatically converting crypto holdings to fiat currency for users. “They have 346 million users and they’re connected to 26 million merchants,” says Spencer Montgomery, founder of Uinta Crypto Consulting. “It’s huge.”
