Not to sound like a broken record, but we often do. But I believe this week's internatoinal VC deals in the fintech sector may have hit an all-time high, inasmuch as the smallest deal was $200M USD, and we by-passed numerous deals in excess of $100M for this week's list.

Did you know (I sure didn't) that there are 195 countries in the world? Did you know (I did) that only one so far has made Bitcoin legal tender? That country is El Salvador down in Central America. And sure, as dominoes fall there will be many more following El Salvador's lead.
