"A lot of people are entering the bitcoin space as the sector has reached an overall level of funding that's hard to ignore," said Jaron Lukasiewicz, founder and chief executive officer at New York-based bitcoin exchange Coinsetter. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/08/07/us-usa-bitcoin-wall-street-analysis-idUSKCN0QC0EO20150807 (http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/08/07/us-usa-bitcoin-wall-street-analysis-idUSKCN0QC0EO20150807) Title: Re: [2015-08-07] reuters: Bitcoin startups lure quant whizzes from Wall Street Post by: aso118 on August 08, 2015, 02:57:38 AM Quote Once the province of small-time investors driven by their distrust of government-backed currencies, now Wall Street bankers and traders are leaving high-paying jobs to join bitcoin start-ups, while big firms hire in-house to get their arms around bitcoin and the related 'blockchain' technology.

But it seems as though the latest trend is "Blockchain"
