https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/qtum#/entityOn the very same day (1-11-17), Pete Rizzo of CoinDesk published the announcement, of which includes the following:
http://www.coindesk.com/blockchain-angels-invest-1-million-bitcoin-ethereum-hybrid-qtum/Patrick Dai, founder of the Qtum Foundation, indicated that the $1m will now help his team to prepare the infrastructure necessary to sell the tokens in a public initial coin offering (ICO), or a public sale of unique cryptographic tokens to investors.
Dai told CoinDesk:
"We raised the money to prove that our approach is right. We used the money to do the minimum viable product. The testnet is live now, but it is private, it is already working."
Dai said that the Qtum Foundation could seek to raise up to $10m in the token offering.
Don't you find it odd that in 9 days back in November 2016, Qtum was able to amass over $600K worth of bitcoins from who-knows-where, then a month later covert 500
BTC to cash via OKCoin, to only 10 days later receiving a million dollars in Angle seed funding from the very dude, among others, Qtum just handed over $491K+ to?
Or am I mistaken, the 1qtum1H39JbLjkBZGg4HVsrt9KD6FMS3g BWA belongs to Qtum's twin brother, Qtime?
"Bruno thinks that we shovel up the elephant shit in our office, when in fact we just let it pile up, pretending it doesn't exist. To have more room, we simply used some the million dollars donated to us by Angel investors to knock out a few walls so to extend our office in accommodating more elephants and piles of shit."
