Well, I would like to see more differentiated investments and not all spread over a few companies.

Not just limited to investments, but we should rather focus on the development too as it still is in the same phase.

Yes, I somehow feel everybody talks about blockchain based apps now and blockchain in general. What about BTC?

bitcoin was meant to be an alternative to the greedy bankers fiat, now just becoming a new breed of greedy banker bitcoin Angry

I don't think greedy bankers are interested at bitcoin! But big whales are still piling up their holding. Some small investors or miners are probably dumping it recklessly.

Numbers are growing, prices are falling.

I have 0 complaints

Things have to go down before they go up.
Bring on the rest of 2015 I say!

There's a lot of projects previously started with VC funds that are still in the development phase. I think we're about to assist a real bitcoin BOOM in the next 3-4 years or even sooner. The time to go from 100mil BTC users to 500mil users will actually be shorter than going from 2.5mil (now) to 10mil.
Once the media madness begins, it will be a matter of 1-2 years til we witness a wide embrace of this beautiful new financial tool!

That's how it usually goes with everything. It spreads slowly then it booms until it reaches it maximum. Then it continues on a slower pace. Hopefully we're going to see some of those projects finished very soon.
That could help us expand, something that we urgently need.

Interesting statistics, 2015 will be an interesting year of bitcoin and bitcoin startups in general. Many angel investors and VC firms are really interested in the bitcoin technology and want to grow it .

same was true for 2014 Tongue

despite all those investments, the price is still tanking, manipulation is really strong in bitcoin market, no wonder those crazy rise in money injection can't do shit

I don't even care about the price at this point. Once you grasp the power behind OP_DUP OP_HASH160 pubKeyHash OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG - the $price becomes a meaningless detail.

the price is still very important, if bitcoin was still at 1200, the adoption would be greater now, because the faith(in bitcoin) would be more established among many

Keep this up for another year or two and we are well on our way.

but what do you mean well on our way?

I think that without acceptance by normal people, bitcoin is not in a good path,although big enterprises appear if it is not used,which it is its purposes,it is a bad way

big merchant/company will help bitcoin acceptance, there is no doubt about that, average people will feel more safe if they know that big company are starting accepting bitcoin

it's a psychology thing

As time goes by, and bitcoin enviroment feels better,with more investments and more interest in bitcoin startups and price of bitcoin keeps falling down, I keep thinking that bitcoin price will never recover even if accepted in tons of commerces

Bitcoin isn't a bubble. It's the pin!

Its good that more money is being invested in BTC YoY too i think.

I think most of the bitcoin believers and venture capital investors are not looking at the price, believe in the technology. As the bitcoin ecosystem is building up on the way rapidly, ppl will find the utility of bitcoin. When the adoption rate is dramatically increased, the price will definitely increase a lot.

On one hand, it seems true but on the other way it shows that there are many people getting out of interest in Bitcoins just because they can't handle it due to drops in the price.

Nice collection of data put together. Positive thing here is that we can see the numbers are growing. Never mind about being too slow moving, as long as there are positive news ahead, that should be good. I just hope it stays and maintains this way with some other big corporations also joining in.
