Today we learn that another very high profile investor has plunged into the Bitcoin pool.  In this case it’s Peter Thiel, and his investment is in BTC merchant processor Bitpay, a company I have highlighted previously on several occasions.  Back in March I noted that the company was putting up mind-boggling growth rate numbers.  Incredibly, the tremendous growth rate continues as they added another 1,900 merchants in April and are currently signing up around 100 additional merchants a day.

Mostly a repost/link  to another article.

Peter Thiel - a Paypal founder - clearly knows how to spot a viable online payment investment. Big news for the bitcoin VC community.

Yeah ... still waiting to see a move from Elon Musk .

He's all cashed up again with Space-X and Tesla both back in the black and booming by all accounts. When the ultimate paypaller gets in behind bitcoin ... well, shit gonna get real :)
