Why does a big investor want to risk money in an investment where 10% is owned by a complete unknown and 7% is in the clammy hands of a fat french otaku

In all seriousness, why hasn't RandomPedestrianN9 been banned yet? He isn't interested in a discussion, he's only here to troll.

I totally agree on not banning people for their opinions, bitcoin should be carefully scrutinized in every possible way. Valid criticism will only make it stronger. But this person is not adding anything constructive at all. He doesn't even reply when his "logic" is commented upon... And now we see him running around the forum yelling like a little child and calling everyone names. Jesus fucking Christ. Well, at least he doesn't hide what he really is.

At one point there were 7 billion people in the world and only 4 billion IP addresses. What happened next?

Not sure it has been posted here already but Asia's richest man is investing.

Quote

Despite the price of a bitcoin tumbling from political pressure, the billionaire tycoon has poured an undisclosed amount of money, believed to be worth millions of dollars, into Bitpay, the bitcoin equivalent to PayPal, through his venture capital investment company Horizons Ventures.

That's what I'd call a big investor, and a nice vote of confidence into crypto market.

No big investor has entered this year for 100kBTC or even 10 kBTC. It would have moved the price.

I keep hearing about these big investors that are coming.  Who are they and what is taking them so long to jump in?

LOL, just wait

We ran out of IP addresses and despite everyone chastising everyone to switch to IPv6, the network effects were too strong and even still almost nobody has.

He invested in Bitpay... he didn't buy bitcoins. So he invested in infrastructure. Thats where the investors are headed.

The big investors need an SEC approved fund such as the Winklevoss fund to buy as part of their mutual funds.  Once that happens, retirement money CAN come in.  Until then, retirement money CANNOT come in.

Bitcoin is just not an attractive investment atm. Too much uncertainty, price is still too high, investing in something China holds about 50% of the network in just does not seem like a good idea.

to be fair, the exchange infrastructure is pretty damn scary to anyone with real money to lose. and it is hard to know what is happening off the exchanges.
