Topic: Venture Capital is going to pump the living shit out of Bitcoin. (Read 1611 times)
Smart "big money" has been quietly accumulating on OTC markets for a long time IMO. They have pre-arranged agreements with miners or large OTC brokers. The fact that the exchanges did not experience any spike in volume during Ben Lawsky's Bitlicense announcement yesterday is very telling. If you ever watch a growth stock (ex. TSLA etc) during a quarterly financial conference call the price and trading volume will be crazy. As soon as the shareholder letter is released algos are parsing the letter and making microsecond HFT trades based on what they think; and again during the conference call the stock goes wildly up and down based on any minutia of data, detail, or even the tone of the people speaking. We experienced none of that yesterday. This clearly shows that no wall streeters are doing anything on current exchanges.
Once this happens unfortunely a lot of people will be tired of waiting a long time ago and would have sold. They will feel the pain twice (missing the first 1K boat, and the the future one). Such is the fate of those without a future vision beyond 2 months from now.
you do realise that VCs and Wall Street don't enter the game to make you money 
they will eventually, as a side effect, and indirectly, when the big players will start to compete with each other, this baby will skyrocket, and undirectly you will be rich
your pennies does not count anything for them, It is like piss in the sea when there is a downpour
All those VC investments you see? All that money pouring into bitcoin or Bitcoin or the blockchain? All those captains of industry vying to maintain their dominance?
That money.
It's going to react when shit gets hot. It's going to warm as opportunities arise. It's going to motherfucking explode when the time comes for profits to be taken.
It is clear to me now. Venture Capitalists are going to pump the living shit out of Bitcoin when the time comes for their exit.
-That is all. Please grab a snack at the back. You had a question? A comment?

The big boys are moving money while the nerds stress out about the Core vs XT Blockchain fight. As always, is the Winklevoss type that end up capitalizing on revolutionary technology because nerds are too high inhibition to get shit done.
Seriously guys, just man up. Stop the blockchain FUD, and support Gmaxwell, Gavin or whoever you like by running the client you like. That simple.
why do they want to pump and leave bitcoin when they have enough resources to do the pump and dump process over and over again like we can see in any altcoin out there.
Do they really pump by investing capital into Bitcoin projects? This would be a high risk / low return investment if they did that for short term gains.
The amounts being pumped into Bitcoin cannot all be targeted to create a hype, it's beyond that point already.
The people going in now, are long term investors.

Cool. Is there some kind of a list where we can see all VC bitcoin related investments so far ?
ListSome people are just way too lazy. These lists will most likely get updated soon as we are nearing the ending of Q2.

Bitcoin exploding at 'some point' is a no brainer. Personally I think it will be a collapse of major currencies that will wake people up. Obviously no.1 being the dollar which is as we speak is in a process of collapse.
It is not a "no brainer". We've had two surges in the past. The history tends to repeat itself, and another one might be coming. Although this isn't really good since stable growth is much more preferred than sudden spikes. The media has quite the influence over a good % of the population. We can deny this all we want but they could ignite the next Bitcoin pump easily. So the dollar increasing in value means that it is in the process of collapse? Elaborate.
There are a shift taking place now... previously people invested in building Bitcoin business... now everyone is concentrating on the new buzzword ---> Blockchain technology.
Have a close look at the Bitcoin wannabe Alt coins, with built in features to adhere to government regulations {KYC/AML} --> We all know who they are.
When you see a lot of VC investment and development into these Alt coins, you will know which horse to bet on.
They will milk Bitcoin to the end, and then jump ship to a NEW refurbished boat.
The rest will go down with the Titanic.
Yeah, if you think that VC investments measured in thousands of dollars can stand against the millions being fueled in Bitcoin.Have a close look at the Bitcoin wannabe Alt coins, with built in features to adhere to government regulations {KYC/AML} --> We all know who they are.

Stop the altcoin propaganda, it won't be happening.

Correct, however you can make money if you play your cards right.

I don't know, I get the feeling that big money is not all that interested in pumping bitcoins. I think that these guys are used to traditional investments and would not really understand cryptos. So they avoid things that they don't understand. I might be wrong but I think the big money will stay right where it is.

Guido that is exactly what I thought when I saw the thread title.
I don't know if it will be specifically VC but it seems obvious to me that money will come pouring in at some point. Banks, individuals, investors, hedge funds, who knows. There stands a good chance to see a full blown bubble some time in the near future. I only hope that we have a few years first so I can accumulate some more bitcoins. I didn't really get in until the price when up so I am not holding very many of them.

I agree. The VC money that will pour in will turn Bitcoins on fire.

The Venture Capital Secret: 3 Out of 4 Start-Ups Fail
It looks so easy from the outside. An entrepreneur with a hot technology and venture-capital funding becomes a billionaire in his 20s.
But now there is evidence that venture-backed start-ups fail at far higher numbers than the rate the industry usually cites.
About three-quarters of venture-backed firms in the U.S. don't return investors' capital, according to recent research by Shikhar Ghosh, a senior lecturer at Harvard Business School.

It's all about how to deploy capital. Venture Capital deploys capital to build companies because it's what they know best makes them money. When it comes time for their holdings to be appraised and sold, that's when they may find a relatively small investment in the underlying asset, which Bitcoin companies values are largely based on, is the best way to make them more money. Is Coinbase worth more when Bitcoin is a $50B market cap or $500B market cap? How many $$ actually have to flow into Bitcoin to affect that change in market cap?
Thanks for liking the title. I've been thinking about it for a week.

we all know that, the real question is when all that will happen, so we can start to buy in bulk before it happen, without the worry that we are still scratching the bottom
i hope that by then bitcoin will not drop too much, or the recover will be tough even with the right massive investments
