Saturday assorted links

1. The Bitcoin futures contract on the CME will have cash settlement, not Bitcoin settlement.  What should you infer from that?

2. The Economist on surging blue collar wages.

3. The postwar British productivity failure.

4. What happens after you have spent $450 million on a “Leonardo”? (carrying costs > liquidity premium).  Of course the buyer shouldn’t insure it.

5. “Would you be inclined to buy makeup because a 10-year-old boy is showing you how to create a look on Instagram?”  (NYT)

6. Many Skopje statues to be removed.
