The Wing continues its women-only co-working/social club takeover

TwitterFacebook

When The Wing launched its first New York space a year ago, it offered something a lot of women didn’t even know they wanted. 

The coworking space/social club in the Flatiron district lets women network across fields, freshen up between meetings, and make calls, all in a perfectly curated, relaxing, pastel space. There’s also evening programming, including bartending classes, food-banking, and panels of women small business owners.

The Wing saw so much demand for its 21st-century revival of 19th-century women’s clubs that the waitlist for its $2,350 annual membership ran 8,000 people long. 

A year later, The Wing is ready to get those women off the waitlist. The club opened its second space—three times the size of its first—in Soho this week. Locations in Brooklyn and Washington, D.C. are planned for winter 2018.  Read more…

Bitcoin price hits $7,000 for the first time

TwitterFacebook

Bitcoin isn’t showing signs of stopping. 

The cryptocurrency hit the price of $7,000 per one bitcoin early on Thursday, just weeks after it surpassed $6,000 for the first time. 

The rally has been incredible — after briefly hitting a low of around $3,000 on Sept. 14, Bitcoin has been breaking through all-time-highs. In October, the cryptocurrency’s market cap — the value of all bitcoins currently in existence — exceeded $100 billion for the first time. Right now, it’s at $117 billion. 

It’s tough to pinpoint exactly what has prompted this latest price increase. This week’s news that the world’s largest futures exchange CME plans to launch Bitcoin futures this year certainly helped.  Read more…

TwitterFacebook

Facebook just had an incredible past three months for making money, but CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s tone isn’t that celebratory.

“We’re serious about preventing abuse on our platforms. We’re investing so much in security that it will impact our profitability. Protecting our community is more important than maximizing our profits,” the statement. Read more…
