That's how much singer songwriter Taylor Swift donated to the Seattle Symphony, sighting her admiration for their recording of John Luther Adams' "Becoming Ocean."

By some estimates, that's how much Goldman Sachs could save in infrastructure costs by 2022 with the implementation of its proposed Bitcoin-like currency — the banking giant submitted a patent for what it's calling "SETLcoin." As the Financial Times write, it would serve as a cryptocurrency system for settlements of trades of stocks and bonds.
