On Gemini:

The exchange is also partnering with a major, yet-to-be announced US bank.

could it be JPM chase???

The name is less important than whether or not I can get an account there for instant purchases in volume. If it is a commercial bank such as SVB that CB uses, then no.

Bulls?

[BootstrapCoinDev]

Seems it will definitely cross $300 quite soon.  Looking pretty strong right now, with the FINRA approval of a BTC fund and some impending good news.

Very subjective you just keep re-labeling waves until the market finally reverses then "there you go! that was wave 5, see!"

Qualcomm’s involvement could spur speculation that 21 has its sights on the so-called “Internet of Things.”  

Asked for his views on 21, Mr. Andreessen said it “is working on what they — and we — consider to be core infrastructure for mainstreaming bitcoin.”

so, not mining equipment.

wow!

Qualcomm’s involvement could spur speculation that 21 has its sights on the so-called “Internet of Things.” 

wow!  

According to Silicon Valley investors such as those taking stakes in 21, say that failure to gain mass adoption is partly because the public’s attention has been misguidedly focused on bitcoin’s limited potential as a digital alternative to traditional currencies. In reality, they say, its underlying technology has far wider applications than that. Unlike the currency transactions that are generally associated with bitcoin, these new uses could range from lawyer-free smart contracts to tamper-proof online voting systems.

They'll start using the blockchain technology for other services. Bitcoin the currency has failed in their perspective.
Anyway, I agree with them, that the technology is great but bitcoin the currency is a gimmick.
So, tough luck for all of the "i'll-just-sit-on-my-ass-while-becoming-rich" folks.

21 is old news. they are already on the network, mining.

not mining.

Members of the bitcoin community speculated about a secret vehicle for Silicon Valley elites to develop high-powered equipment that could dominate bitcoin mining. Mr. Pauker’s comments about a consumer focus suggest that isn’t where the company has ended up.

The initial secrecy around 21 was “solely for pragmatic reasons – we didn’t have anything to say to the world,” – says co-founder Balaji Srinivasan, who is also a partner at Andreessen Horowitz. He compares 21’s work in building bitcoin products for the general public to the sequential development of 56-kilobit Internet modems, international fiber cables and wireless Internet towers, which all helped bring the Internet into people’s homes in the late 1990s.

That is f#cking bullish ass muthf#ckin news right there!

Wow, and I thought the $75 mill NYSE dumped onto Coinbase was investing...this is taking it to another level.

Very encouraging overall, just the amount of interest that's been gathering the last couple years.
