Amazing!!. This proves more and more bitcoin holders. This is good news that can boost the value of bitcoin globally. The value of such a funding transaction by investment can be considered fantastic. Wow!

Google invested $40,000,000 into blockchain.info a couple of months back.

The fact such high profile companies are getting on board with cryptocurrencies really goes to show how legit Bitcoin is. Not to mention Blockchain.info is a legit company as are many others in the field. Of course there are scams, but nothing we can do about it at the moment. This is good new through-and-through.

What is defined as "blockchain companies" here? Does that term throw together ICOs along with legitimate companies, research projects along with private investments? I think that putting any and all of those together isn't fair game. The companies actually working on developing blockchain tech are very few. Although this sounds like good news for cryptos I think that it's quite inaccurate, although I don't think that there's solid foundations when dealing with such terminology so I don't put the blame anywhere.
