Reader Question: My wife and I sold all our UK property and moved to France in October on a visa long séjour . The only link we can find on the préfecture website is for the renewal of our visas.

Beyond just cryptocurrencies, digital money has changed how we live - The Conversation

In simple terms, digital money can be defined as a form of currency that uses computer networks to make payments. Breathless media coverage of the future potential of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin has made digital money a hot topic. One of the main differences between digital money and physical currency, such as cash, is that digital money lacks any identifying features that make it unique. If you take a glance at any bank notes you might have sitting in your wallet or purse, you will quickly notice that each note has a serial number — a unique string of letters and numbers that marks the uniqueness of that bill. But as we know, digital objects, such as songs or images, are easily reproducible infinitely on the internet. What prevents us from reproducing the digital money in our bank accounts so easily? Most of us have been using digital money all along. It is not the digital nature of cryptocurrencies that differentiate them from digital money, but rather how they ensu

By Dorothy Atkins (August 24, 2022, 7:58 PM EDT) -- American Express gave executives "carte blanche to ruthlessly implement a racial caste and quota" that allegedly favors Black employees and forces out white workers, a white former client manager at the company alleged in a proposed civil rights class action in Arizona federal court.

PayPal hikes fees as Venmo starts charging for some services - Fast Company

It's the classic maneuver. Hook 'em, then hike 'em. [Photo: iStock] By Arianne Cohen 2 minute Read Venmo users received an unexpected email this week titled "New and upcoming changes to Venmo."
