Good news, I hope that with this bitcoin will increase its popularity and price  ;D

Pretty good news that big site owners are getting in on the scene maybe more people will get interested. I don't think this news will affect the price of Bitcoin or get many interested though.

It won't affect price such a relatively small thing, but he clearly has an understanding of potential and impact.
he is also a multi multi millionaire self-made , a tech guy and very intelligent

other people, (plus he must have many prominent friends in tech community) will sit up and notice

plus someone like himself will no doubt have been to bbqs and parties etc and discussed it with prominent people, he's on board for xapo too

this is just one of hundreds of positive such things in past few months
we will go back to the moon and past it before end autumn.
If not I will dress like bennett from commando for a week, tache and all  ;D

Price isn't usually affected by news like this - the only time it rises with 'good' news is when there is anticipation, in which case the whales fuel a surge in the price, only to dump hard on your hopes and dreams.

Still, it is encouraging when folk who are more experienced/qualified/successful than many of us make remarks like this.

This kind of thing is always good to read. People that know how to make money seeing bit coin as a strong investment is reassuring and could help speed things along. Still time to grab cheap bit coin, but not for much longer.

Very nice.  :D

One of the few things Reid and I have in common
BTC is my 5 year plan too ;)

The funny thing about this is that it doesn't look like LinkedIn accepts bitcoins for their premium accounts.  Not that I'd ever pay for my LinkedIn account given the insane amount of money they charge, but you'd think if the cofounder is investing in bitcoins, they'd accept it for their subscriptions too.

First the big minds and technologists next the every day common person
Slowly getting bitcoin into the minds of others and convincing them to use it.

Oh hes part of the VE behind Xapo I didn't know nice

In the interview, Hoffman discussed his personal experience with bitcoin, confirming that he has purchased “a few bitcoins” to date in addition to his investment in Xapo.

adds up to bitcoin coinfidence. :D

All the positive press is getting overwhelming lately.  I don't know what big thing will happen next but I suspect the price to start to really frflect all the news lately.

Wall Street?

I can see that happening

Bitcoin is my five-year investment plan too!


Future generations will probably remember 2014 as the year that Bitcoin officially became mainstream.

Still waiting on that adjustment so I can have a nice sell off and rebuy in
Of course that means I'm willing to take that price risk of selling low :)

But most of my investment is a five year plan as well

Fabulous news
Reid is the man

Good advice, its tough sometimes if you look at the price everyday. But I think the long term mindset is what has proven to be the best so far. People this this guy are very good news for btc.

Smart words indeed. In long term investment, Bitcoin is going to beat any stock on any market...

Good news, but then again, it's not that difficult to guess that Bitcoin in the longterm will gain in value. So investing now will for sure pay off after a few years.

Why to wait for 5 years? :-)
