How many shares? How did you come by them? I will pm you now
I have some shares in coinbase.com available for sale. PM me if interested.

I think it's a bad investment. Some good points in the reddit thread

In a way, buying bitcoins is an investment in all bitcoin related companies. You'll stand to benefit if any one or several of them are successful.
So why are you involved with bit-pay? You could have just bought up a bunch of BTC instead. Are you doing charity work for the rest of us?
A company that has a significant amount of money invested in Bitcoin directly is crazy. Bitcoin can lose half of its value in an hour. That's not something you can build a business on...
Coinbase. Yes it's a wallet service. Seems pretty simple though and has silcon valley backers. I'm sure security is one of their top prioroties
Bitcoin currently is a bit confusing to those normal internet users who aren't savy with the latest tech news. I think something like coinbase will help in alleviating that confusion. Its modeled after paypal but doesn't charge any transaction fees. Should catch on well.

Um, are you describing Coinbase or Bitcoin because all coinbase offers at the moment is another ewallet service. And we don't know how secure it is either.

Why don't they accept bitcoin donations?

After reading the documents about coinbase on thefundersclub it appears that their valuation for this funding is $5 million. So they are giving away 5% equity for $250k. Not positive on this. Not a securities lawyer 
Yes you can, investing in bitcoin means putting trust in it which in exchange raises trust levels in other individuals, who build an ecosystem around it.
And somebody still have to build their niches.
...
Because you need an ecosystem for bitcoin to be successful. You can't just buy bitcoin and expect the ecosystem to grow.

When you save money, you produce but do not consume. That's great. You deposit but do not withdraw, loaning everyone else use of the benefits of your labor. Deferred consumption should be rewarded as it's a form of investment.
