Ha, yeah go ahead and push this thing to the moon! It's alright with me! Although I think we're in for a warm bullish spring and summer before going exponential again!

$116 million is a lot of money!
When they do come out with their products, it will be very interesting.

I am sure it will be soon; they have no other reason to make details of their funding public after remaining in stealth mode for so long.

Hmm a large sum of money. Good to see that bitcoin is slowly gaining interest from the masses. Only a small time now before we can really say that mass adoption is truly evident. Good times. :)

I wonder if any of these investors are also going to double-down and buy some BTC after that kind of investment in the infrastructure...

don't get happy too quickly. it's an amazing investment but don't expect insane prices any time soon.
it will be much better if the growth comes spreaded over the years.

Oh, man! Those are some big names and companies! I really wonder if they really do have contingency plans in reserve, you know just in case Bitcoin does hit mainstream more than we can anticipate... man, intense!

It's not going to explode, we still have time for a while, whales are still filling their portfolios with cheap bitcoin while peasants mentally masturbate about buying or not and delusional FUDsters keep shitposting because they already sold.

I wouldn't say "expecting" insane prices soon is a good idea, but I would likewise caution that claiming "It's not going to explode" is just as shortsighted.

BTC has blown through expectations on more than a few occasions in the past.  Buy carefully but don't discount the very real possibility of this train pulling out of the station in a big way at any time.

One thing is certain:  It won't be steady growth over a few years.  It will get choppy along the way.

I doubt we will be crossing 300 on Stamp tonight. The pressure is still equal on both sides as we have already cross 300 on finex.

Maybe we will see 300 by tomorrow on stamp. 10$ increase a day has been the usual trend.

so we really hit the bottom afterall, now it's time to go to the moon, but i do prefer a steady rise than a "big bubble"

Tonight will be +300

What made you say so? Aside from the fact that we are really near $300 of course.
