One more bitcoin company is out of the race

The owners of the bitcoin marketplace Harborly have decided to stop the operations ostensibly to work on a new and more promising project. Harborly joins the ranks of numerous other bitcoin companies closed this year.

Never heard of this company before. Well, in the blog post it said that is is operating in United State and Canada only (expanding to India soon). So I dont think it will affect the Bitcoin economy much since it is somewhat a new company. However, I would really like to see them back into action (with Bitcoin) soon when they find out that Bitcoin is actually also a potential business opportunity.

Also never heard of them before.

It was positioned as a company bridging a gap between digital currency and traditional financial market.

Wonder if all the hype about the new license and regulations requirements had any influence on their decision to close shop and move on with another venture.

I've never heard of them either and I live in Canada where BTC exchanges are few and far between.
They obviously haven't marketed themselves very well.

I'm not so sure the regulatory environment in Canada is so prohibitive. Not like the USA anyways. There's been hints that changes are coming but I feel they will be plastics for businesses such as these. Will probably be expensive.

Just another failed startup. Only one in about every dozen startups actually takes off. They just failed. Not a big deal for the community
