Big Wall Street Players Investing in Bitcoin Startup

One thing we know about Wall Street types is that they all fear missing out on the next hot trend. And as the Bitcoin venture capitalists like to point out, Bitcoin technology will likely be as disruptive as the Internet was 20 years ago.

So now that the New York Stock Exchange and Vikram Pandit are investing in Bitcoin, a lot of Wall Street antennae are going up.

The amount of Wall Street money invested in Bitcoin will snowball in 2015. The boost from this new source of capital will cause total investment in Bitcoin to double or even triple again this year.

Buying bitcoin is not the same as venture capital investing in bitcoin.  Coinbase raised $75 million this week for example, but that was for development not purchasing bitcoin.

Wall Street VC focused interest in addition to Silicon Valley VC interest is a good thing.

Exactly, there are sooooo man more ways to invest in bitcoin other than buying bitcoin.

Sure, buying bitcoin tends to be a first step, and likely a logical one before moving on to the next steps, but it's not the only step.
