"The One" sits on 3.8 acres, its elevated position allows for 360-degree views of the Pacific Ocean, downtown Los Angeles, and the San Gabriel Mountains.

There seems to be a race on to see which city is the real "Crypto City", which of course means that city would be the coolest and most "cryptonized." Miami and its Mayor, Francis X. Suarez, kicked things off a while back when the city launched "MiamiCoin" and the mayor offered to take his salary in Bitcoin.

So with a big jump "across the pond," JPM is set to launch its new digital bank...... Chase..... in the UK next week. The official announcement is expected next Tuesday (28th).

Bye bye Summer. The end is near. The last two weeks of August are famous for being extremely dull in financial markets and so it is again.
