They are running a bitcoin trust. What do you expect to estimate? That bitcoin will fail?
I can't see any value for the crypto-community.

More merchant adoption if people see Bitcoin being adopted by traditional financial institutions for one thing.

how does this even work anyways? do the funds sit in a wallet? in that case, who has access to the wallet and pw? couldn't someone just transfer that money out to their own wallet, and no one would know?

I 'm talking about the actual estimation. No one will think better of bitcoin because a bitcoin trust estimates big about bitcoin.  Tongue

The fact that accredited investors from wall street, large instuitions, Major banks will be entering the btcoin market
Through BIT = "Bitcoin Investment Trust " if  & when this occurs btc is likely to rise in value

Wall street has come to it senses,  & has started taking BTC serious now the big boys want in

Im not convinced that you took the precious time to read the article throughly

Yep, Bitcoin is finally being taken seriously. If a few big boys jump in, the rest will follow.

This seems indeed more likely now, the 'hundreds of millions' is just a small fraction of the 'high risk investors' of Wall Street, once they got their feet wet, medium risk investors will follow a few months after.

Depends whether you view the price of a bitcoin going from $1K to $2K as having "value"?  Smiley

Uhh... thats more money into Bitcoin, that makes my bitcoins more valuable, sounds pretty good to me.

Great for people who want to make money off of bitcoin going up in value.  Arguebly not good overall because if the value keeps going up people hoard bitocoin and no one uses it as a currency.  Of course that's up for debate , certainly something I think about though.  In the meantime I don't mind the value going up as well  Tongue

I've thought a bit about this, and if this happens, we will see a spike in BTC price anywhere between 10x and 100x it's current levels.  If/when this happens, anyone holding BTC will be wise to cash out before the bottom drops out, and trust me, the bottom WILL drop out.  The primary reason is that BTC is no longer being used as a currency, but as an asset/investment.  This means that people are getting into BTC to earn a return (priced in FRN) on their "investment".  Once wall street investors max out, the price will stop rising, it will begin to fall, panic will set in, and it will usher in a spectacular crash.  No other asset in the history of the world can go up/down as fast as bitcoins.  The transition from peak to crash will be minutes, maybe hours long.  Within a 24 hour window the BTC price will utterly collapse.  In the words of Dr. Gary North, this will be the stuff of PhD dissertations and books for decades to come.  Don't think for a second that the big wall street players don't know exactly how this will go down, and they will be first to sell at the peak.  So, if you hold BTC, don't let greed blind you to the inevitable fall, and sell at a comfortable price and get out of the path of the avalanche. 

Now, the question is, what price is the price to sell?  $10,000 per coin?  $25,000 per coin?  $100,000 per coin?
