My believe is; whatever is tested and trusted cannot be silent by any human or group of nations just becasue they hate the said project or product or service. Bitcoin has proven its worthy of sustaining the global world from hoax and many good investors have joined the journey with Bitcoin, so, nothing than surprises from investor we all will be hearing from them. More Tech. will find their way into the world of Bitcoin likewise reputable figure in the society.

Sounds good and interesting for Bitcoin community. It's another adoption that we should look forward into. It might be the start of massive adoption of Bitcoin and it will surely affect the Market flow and the price of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is continuously attracting investors, merchants and businesses because they could see how bitcoin works and how it gained trust for years.

The issues with investors/venture capitalists/tech companies is that they make all of these startups that they dump full-moron amounts of money into, and then the startup collapses and the cycle begins all over again. There is no logical rhyme or reason for it aside from throwing money at a project and hoping that something sticks. I hope that they can come up with a decent company for once instead of the constant heaps of half-baked ideas that can't be monetized, but my hopes aren't too high. There's a chance that there will be a large benefit from the investments into cryptos, I guess, but my hopes are not high. The blockchain will probably be the most "important" asset that they can take away from cryptos overall and turn into a product, but they've also been at this for years so I won't get my hopes too high.

Bitcoin has been gaining interest from the said avenues even back then. I don't think that it's new anymore, and some are just waiting for the right time (or for bitcoin to rise once more) before publicly stating their involvement with the said cryptocurrency. I mean, the interest is there, but once the profits have dwindled from bitcoin and go somewhere else, they just leave their projects, hop on to another and come up once more when the market is active. Right now, only exchanges and a few services are really in it for the cryptomarket and not really the initiatives and startups made by these institutional investors, and that's saddening.

It's not because they are scam, it's simply because they can't do it anymore, the idea wasn't good enough, too difficult, etc, there are a ton of problems so if it seems that ICO's fail too much, not really.

It is known that after the 2017 bull run and the ICO craze that we saw that year, there was a massive surge in interest in not just Bitcoin, but also the blockchain technology, from retail/instituional investors, financial institutions, and even from the fintech industry.
Overall, this interest isn't new. I feel like crypto related news sites are recycling bullish news to keep the current bullish momentum going.

Institutional investors, VC's and other companies have been entered the market already. The thing is that we haven't heard about it because obviously, the headline was always been the price, specially when it rises to almost $20,000 and then it fall dramatically. So I'm not surprised to hear institutions coming our way because I think they have investment with the price peak and when it's price is at the lowest and just hodling. What we wanted to see is global adoption, when companies started to accepts Bitcoin as mode of payment.

I've known far too many startups that can never actually monetize their ideas and just accept their death after the founders got their share and exited the scam. That's how it is with basically every single startup, sadly. ICOs are probably way worse than conventional startups for overall failure rates at least, I'd say that way more ICOs are scams across the board. That's why I'm skeptical about these "investors", I have a feeling that it's going to be more scams and failed businesses.

I have observed so many of these threads talking about companies gaining interest etc, but the point that they are missing is that they don't actually invest anything at the end of the day. Proper adoption is what actually matters here people.

The only thing that is written in the article is that some crypto investment app has raised some good money. Which doesn't really tells us anything because dozens of those crypto related projects raised millions during their ICOs back in 2017 and it had no influence on Bitcoin adoption. Also in this article we see that the other companies have their crypto wallets simply to get their small piece of cake out of all this crypto stuff and nothing more. Those investors are interested only in money and not in Bitcoin tecnology.

Also points out some interesting data It has been a while actually that Bitcoin has the eyes and ears of many leaders of different industries but it took them a lot of time to jump into the bandwagon due to perceived risks involved. Bitcoin still has many skeptics around and there are even popular figures who seem to have a vocation telling people that Bitcoin is not worth it at all. This year can be the turning point as far as adoption by different industries and leaders is concerned...and we should hope that things can be swelling into 2020 - 2022.

The main reason why startups fail is because if their lack of experience in handling a business! Business is always build on soid ideas but it needs experience to run and scale any business! Crypto and blockchain is a new sector where things are very dynamic in nature and a lot of entrepreneurs don't know how to deal with such changes! For ICOs, the reason is very different! 99.99% of the ICOs are creating their own coins without thinking about the competition and utility. They fail to understand one simple thing that users would not use separate coins for separate activities. They all need to come under a same platform and start using either Bitcoin or any other popular coin. Issuing new coins can't be a sustainable business idea in 2018-19. It was a good idea back in 2009 but not anymore!

The failure rate is higher yes, last time I checked it was like 20% higher or so, that's including scams. Clearly it's easier to scam in the crypto space than in a normal start-up, however the statistics are also skewed mainly because 70-80% of the scams are extremely small and there are ICO's that received no funding and were considered scams/fails even though no one invested so we can't really trust the statistics that much, there are clearly a lot of ICO's that do well and actually have a product behind them.

I agree. The flow of money from VC and allied investors won't make significant impact as such money is inflowing in crypto market right from the inception of ICO concept. What actually could make difference is the adoption by general public. When VC and allied make investment, they act as a whale since they secure large supply even before public sale starts. This leads to market manipulation and coin becomes a pump/dump instrument. If general public start putting money in crypto market, it will lead to division of supply among larger holders. This way market will work fairer and rise in price will be more sustainable.

Yes but its the investors that paid Coinbase's superbowl commercial where the company promoted Bitcoin. It was the VCs and other investors that funded the project. Also the commercial was pretty good, it encouraged the entire country to invest in Bitcoin. I see a lot of people saying long bitcoin and short the bankers but really for real adoption to happen the financial institutions will need to back a lot of projects to enable a faster growth rate.

I am sure that more investor will come to bitcoin especially if they can see a new chance for them to make money from bitcoin. The investor will always like to search for a new way to get a profit, and we will see in the next years, bitcoin will gain more investor. I guess that they are bored with the stock market and they want to search with a new thing which could give them more profit. Bitcoin now trades on Nasdaq, and that is a good chance for them to buy and sell bitcoin in that site so they can make a lot of profit.

Also points out some interesting data As long as it is trusted from the ordinary people, companies and VC's see an opportunity for profits as they can expand their market share. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have started getting much attention from large corporations. The recent example is Elon Musk who made a tweet writing "Ethereum" showing that he has some interest in this project.

bitcoin is constantly growing even when you see its price dropping in a bubble burst or a correction it is still growing as there is no way you could stop the adoption. but i don't see any reason to believe VCs and Tech Companies are showing any interest in bitcoin yet and the article doesn't provide any convincing evidence to change my mind either.

To be honest I can fully agree about investors who come to bitcoin just for profit because this kind of investors may leave bitcoin just after they make good profit. Bitcoin needs investors who are supporting bitcoin in many aspects especially related to its technology that can be used in many things in the future.
