It's only a matter of time until major corporations are going to start developing Bitcoin services. If you want to get your foot in the door before that happens, you need to get on the development train asap. I should have started my project a year ago....hopefully it's not too late.
That's some amazing news! Way to go.
The television has apparently programmed many of our brothers and sisters into a deep deep zombie like state. If we could somehow reach them and cure them of their sleepyness I think the bitcoin economy could flourish.
Yes. There are many zombies. Waking them up is probably unrealistic. We will be more successful if we learn to create a stampede or a frenzy. Fear and envy will be our tools.
Everyone who possesses Bitcoins will be able to participate in the internet economic revolution, centered in Silicon Valley. Those who don't have a wallet and Bitcoins will be untouchables, and their geographic center will be Detroit.
We need more viable Bitcoin businesses for sure and as Yona said, the money wasn't spent on Bitcoin itself but on Bitcoin businesses. BTCBuyer, your reading comprehension sucks 
bitcoin will fail unless we have a bitcoin denominated economy. I would not want to a large quantity of bitcoin if i knews its value was attached to that of the dollar and speculators, and that my business and profitability relied on them sideshow freaks(speculators). Till then it is just a gamblers casino with no true fundamentals supporting.
It does bitcoin no good, its a hassle if I need to buy bitcoins with dollars, send bitcoin around the world, only so they can cash them out so they can continue to purchased goods for their business, bitcoin price falls.. Fiat wins.
Unless all goods and services are willing to accept a value volatile currency, which they wont. then bitcoin will need to be reset. which it can be if you miners do not act as central banks. The pesticide, the predator will find and eat you gold 2.0 bugs for lunch.
Back to the drawing board.
its not big news until millions, hundreds of millions enter on a week over week basis.

why does the title say 'to buy bitcoins'? , it says in the article they want to invest in bitcoin related startups.
Good news, bitcoins is growing fast!
Someone just made 350k!
Hopefully we will start to see some increased market penetration to the masses, then we will see it really take off.
Good news, bitcoins is growing fast!

Just another great reason why I love bitcoins. This is the future, if more and more REAL companies are investing into it.
Cheers all!
