Some big news from yesterday. A record funding of $116 m raised by secretive Bitcoin startup "21 Inc."
The nature of 21's operations is yet to be revealed.
List of investors include chipmaker Qualcomm, PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel and renowned venture capitalist Andreessen Horowitz.

Can't wait to hear more details.
The official (I assume) website for 21 inc doesn't say much for now:
21 million Bitcoin, infinite possibilities.
The future of money belongs to those who show up.
