Title: Re: So Peter Thiel isn't as negative as before? Post by: LiteCoinGuy on March 10, 2015, 05:57:52 PM i would not say he was ever negative. he was/is neutral - he sees the pro and cons.
when you do some research you will see, that his firm already invested in BTC companies months ago. Title: Re: So Peter Thiel isn't as negative as before? Post by: Possum577 on March 10, 2015, 11:33:27 PM What news? Can you share the link or summarize what happened?
If Peter Thiel is talking positive about BTC, it's a VERY good thing. Title: Re: So Peter Thiel isn't as negative as before? Post by: xDan on March 10, 2015, 11:35:34 PM What news?

Post by: Monetizer on March 10, 2015, 11:37:37 PM I don't think a price change would change someones negativity that much in my opinion. Jut because somethings cost goes up does not mean it is any more effective, it is the same bitcoin as before with a few more buyers than sellers.

Post by: Possum577 on March 11, 2015, 04:24:49 AM IT's cool that Peter is an investor in 21, it's a problem that 21 is hiding what the fuck it's operations actually are. There's a lot of money in the (Silicon) Valley, so it's not such a "sure thing" just because they've gotten investor money. Additionally, getting investor money without clear operations and a plan to generate revenue reeks of a dot com bubble kind of move.
Don't get me wrong, I hope all works out for the best but let's not get to excited yet. Title: Re: So Peter Thiel isn't as negative as before?

They just don't release it to public right now |
