The number of Bitcoins mined increases supply about 1.3% each year, or about the same as gold—long a store of value. However, the number of Bitcoins is limited to 21 million. “Some observers believe that Bitcoin’s fixed supply is irrelevant because any other digital asset could copy the Bitcoin code and serve as a replacement,” Greg Cipolaro and Dr. Ross Stevens, researchers at New York Digital Investment Group, the Bitcoin subsidiary of Stone Ridge Holdings, a $10 billion alternative asset manager, said in a research report....

Yes, thalidomide. The word has been synonymous with horror since the late 1950s, when 10,000 deformed babies were born worldwide to mothers who had used the drug to alleviate morning sickness. The sight of those children–some lacking eyes or ears, many born with tiny flippers for limbs–still haunts drug regulators. Yet the FDA is now poised to let thalidomide onto the U.S. market–and thousands of very sick people are looking to it for relief....
