Lots and lots of news today, including the latest on the SBA's SVOG fail, why stimulus checks can't arrive faster, when there is still $1.3 billion in stimulus waiting to be distributed to taxpayers, and more talk about the IRS's constant state of being underfunded, and backlogged. We'll examine the implications around China creating its own cryptocurrency, review the Facebook's Global State of Small Business Survey, and dive into reasons why CFOs are more optimistic. We've also got conference updates from David, assorted acquisitions and funding rounds, and much more!
