It looks hopeful, and certainly it should end in price raise.
At least, it means movement and hope in Bitcoin. This is not dying by any means!

It's just so easy to do this, and not a lot of people are speaking out against this. The true Bitcoiner will frown on this and object to the blatant intellectual theft being done by these banks and companies, but the fact is... Nobody owns the intellectual rights to the Bitcoin code... so they can do what they want. 
Well, that's how FOSS and specifically MIT licence works. What is there to frown about? Why do you consider it theft? The whole idea of open source software is that anyone is able to modify the code and use it how they see fit. Though I personally like GPL licence more as it ensures that also the derivates stay open.
The new cool trend, is to say ...." My company is investing in a NEW Blockchain technology " .... What they not saying, is.. " We not investing in the "Public" Bitcoin Blockchain "
No.. no.. no.. They want their own "Private" Blockchain. It's like renaming Linux and calling it your own... Corel / Ubuntu ....Da da da..

The advantage we as the Bitcoin network have over them is the security of a huge node count and hashing power already in place to support it. They just chose to ignore
this advantage and invest millions to re-invent the wheel... to call it their own.

+Paymium Raises €1 Million to Boost Bitcoin Merchant Onboarding
This one caught my eye. It is hard to get funding for this because it favors more players that those who invest in it. It is really more industry level funding that seeks to boost all players. 
Well I think the fact that Visa/capital one is getting in on the blockchain technology is good and bad for us... good in the sense that they will sort of make btc a little more mainstream, but bad in the sense that a major "bank" is taking over and making btc a lot more centralized.
Can anyone guess which block size BIP they will support?

just a question:
why all this "good news" for fund rising, don't let bitcoin price rise???
i think this is the real question!!!

because they are not directly investing in bitcoin, they are only build everything around it, hoping that more people will use bitcoin
if none of the big name start to invest massively in bitcoin, i'm not sure if we can resort to average joe for increase the price

This is not related at all. Funding companies and startups is not going to make the price rise. It is not like that money is exactly going to the exchange.why all this "good news" for fund rising, don't let bitcoin price rise???

This is great news. I think that the last overview was made by Coindesk. I would very much like to read another one. I'm quite interested in the exact number of investments in 2015 so far. A lot of money has poured into Bitcoin in 2015. Who knows what 2016 could bring? Also we have to separate blockchain projects that are not directly related to Bitcoin. They're just using blockchain technology, not Bitcoin.
But all these startups are a good sign and assurance to people that are faltering. You can invest in bitcoin and you will be safe in the long run.
Even separate blockchain project could give bitcoin some attention - and effectively boost its price as a result.

Let's hope some of this backing reflects positively in the price. Lord knows we need something to give the price a kick up the ass. It's been way too low for too long.
You're so right buddy!You're so right!

Before I forget. Is there any site out there which is separating investments in Bitcoin companies from "Blockchain companies"?
I think a comparison would be really interesting although the big fundings seem to go in Blockchain projects.
"Blockchain projects" --> God I hate it so much!
