Yes, they invested more than $2 million in the 'bitcoin sector' source says, "Interest in the bitcoin sector has arisen from investment funds, with recent Peter Thiel's Founders Fund investing US$3 million in the sector" via http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin

I'll give it to gweedo as we don't know which is the other one.. or if they counting OpenCoin as an investment, unless there is proof OpenCoin is identified as the 'bitcoin sector'.

Not sure if OpenCoin should count, but FF Angel is part of Founders Fund and put money into it.   http://www.crunchbase.com/company/opencoin

Question #8 ~ COMING SOON - TAKING A BREAK BRB

Feel free to discuss any questions during the down time or find other sources.

Hi there,
I actually found the answer of the highest price of bitcoin in april from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin

Yes, so my sources were right.. I figured someone would find it too... however, I wonder if its on the bitcoin wiki?  https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/History
[edit: no, that site hasn't been updated since April 1, 2013]

It was actually my fault for not specifying. I use: https://www.tradingview.com/e/u4jxKre3/
I wonder why they are both different. TradingView is the leader for all major stocks like Google, etc.. and now Bitcoin.
