Title: Tim Draper winner of Silk Road auction
Post by: houseo on July 02, 2014, 01:51:48 PM
Tim Draper a VC has been revealed as the winner of nearly 30,000 BTC. Price still unknown.

Intends to partner with Vaurum to use the roughly 30,000 BTC to provide bitcoin liquidity in emerging markets.


this has to be good news. Will make it easier for more people to access and use bitcoin. Perhaps it will become the currency in some countries. Eg. Argentina.

One of the comments on the coindesk article mentions $23.75mm ... which would be just over $800 per coin for 29656.5 coins
