The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

Not sure.  Is there a way I can invest in this fund? 

How is this different from a Hedge Fund which focuses on bitcoin investments?

I'm intrigued by the idea of having a bitcoin startup fund that I can invest in.  Help me diversify my "bitcoin project" investments.

If you are an accredited investor and are liquid for  a few million im sure they will take your call.

A) don't think I'm an accredited investor, and

B) don't have a liquid (nor illiquid) few million.

How do I become accredited?

Why is "a few million" the minimum amount necessary?

http://www.sec.gov/answers/accred.htm


The federal securities laws define the term accredited investor in Rule 501 of Regulation D as:

Quote
a bank, insurance company, registered investment company, business development company, or small business investment company;
an employee benefit plan, within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, if a bank, insurance company, or registered investment adviser makes the investment decisions, or if the plan has total assets in excess of $5 million;
a charitable organization, corporation, or partnership with assets exceeding $5 million;
a director, executive officer, or general partner of the company selling the securities;
a business in which all the equity owners are accredited investors;
a natural person who has individual net worth, or joint net worth with the person’s spouse, that exceeds $1 million at the time of the purchase, excluding the value of the primary residence of such person;
a natural person with income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 for those years and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the current year; or
a trust with assets in excess of $5 million, not formed to acquire the securities offered, whose purchases a sophisticated person makes.

No. According to the article there is already a fair amount of competition in this space.

Concerned that blockchain bloat will lead to centralization? Storing less than 4 GB of data once required the budget of a superpower and a warehouse full of punched cards. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/87/IBM_card_storage.NARA.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_card
