This only further proves that bitcoin is here to stay and big players are taking it increasingly serious. Good for them, but im not interested in online wallets. Looks like Blockchain.info motto is "be your own bank". But you can't be your own bank if you are giving them your private keys... they are being the bank.
Download Bitcoin Core and run a full validating node, that is how you are your own bank. Everything else is an imitation of that.

This is the last call to get cheap BTC, ETH, or any crypto really.

A quick look into the link and even reading the article suggest otherwise that blockchain.info is being bought by Google what happen is just raising capital from individuals and companies that believes in the project and as a worthy if note, its normal for companies to raise capital in other to meet current challenge and blockchain.info doing so is not out of the ordinary and also a testament to the durability of bitcoin like someone have rightlg stated.

WRONG News!
Please be serious, read the article. Publishing fake news doesn't help BTC. An investment firm related to Google has invested in blockchain.info, but that company remains independent.

At least google isn't avoiding bitcoin like paypal is. It would be sweet if they partnered up someday and bring the tech into android pay with fiat as collateral escrow or such.

The title just like a click bait to made everyone panic about the blockchain.info, Some are misinterpreted about the real news in the article. The blockchain invested 40 million to the blockchain start up. Not to buy the blockchain itself. The Google tries to push the more money to develop the future system or technology.

An investment firm related to Google has invested in one of Blockchain.info's funding rounds, the last of which was in 2014. At least google isn't avoiding bitcoin like paypal is. It would be sweet if they partnered up someday and bring the tech into android pay with fiat as collateral escrow or such.
PayPal is not "avoiding Bitcoin", in the slightest. Instead, they're trying hard to stay relevant in comparison. Not "avoiding Bitcoin", just "not Bitcoin". Key distinction there.

these ethereum guys always do this! you only have to have a G or I in your companies name for them to start saying Google, IBM is investing in bitcoin, ethereum. see his last comment in this topic how he advertised investment in ethereum in line with bitcoin.

It is an exaggerated news. Some one that is related to google investing on the blockchain independently makes OP thought that the whole google invested on it. It was just an arm that decide independently that invested on it. Though it still can bring impact to bitcoin interests since people or company that is related to google thinks that investing to Bitcoin is one good thing. I just wish that OP should made the fact straight because it made people to think that it is only a clickbait.

This is the last call to get cheap BTC, ETH, or any crypto really.
We have now passed the rubicon.
This is true for the current situation. We need to diversify our capital into different categories before the train take off. 2k usd for bitcoin looks expensive now, but in the future, it could be a dream price.

Please be serious, read the article. Publishing fake news doesn't help BTC. An investment firm related to Google has invested in blockchain.info, but that company remains independent.
Blockchain, a bitcoin wallet start-up, has raised $40 million led by venture capital firm Lakestar, Google's investment arm GV, and billionaire Richard Branson, the company said on Thursday.
Exactly. Even in the link itself it is mentioned Blockchain raised $40 million. Google's investment wing GV has invested in Blockchain not bought it. Blockchain would use the funds to expand it's team, invest in research and development, and open offices in different countries. Hope they would use some part of this fund to fix the bugs and make the wallet more user friendly.

Lol. You can't own the blockchain. That's the entire point of Bitcoin so noone controls it and it is decentralized. You talking about Google centralizing the blockchain. You can see this is nonsense news I even knew it would be just reading the title. What is the point of creating this thread ? FUD ? Market control ? Crypto is going mainstream.

Blockchain.info is not only an online wallet, it is the block explorer that most people use and they run a full node of their own. Now Google owns a full node, even if indirectly

THIS! I literally just woke up and opened bitcointalk.org and found this post, and I literally thought I was dreaming! This comes to show bitcoin is not dying, or is not dead. Thought the title is wrong, as Google DID NOT buy blockchain.info (it's only Google's investment guy, Richard Branson), this still should be great news for us. I'm pretty sure if a billionaire invests in a technology it surely means he believes and thinks this technology has a future. Grab your crypto people. While they're still cheap.
