It's the complete opposite. Once Bitcoin has stabilized/has become mature it's not an investment vehicle anymore, it's a currency. For as long as it is very volatile, it's an investment vehicle. You don't want

Can you elaborate? Before we were hunter & gatherers, we were monkeys, before that there were dinosaurs, before that there were one-cell organisms. If there were human civilizations a million years ago or before that, there would be sig

Lol, right now almost no one is using Bitcoin for actual purchases, because it's not a viable currency yet. Right now it's just an investment opportunity until Bitcoin has found its price. Then not an investment opportunity anymor

Ok true, then it would be 1 month application period, 2 weeks for an interview invite, 2 weeks to have the interview, so it would be around 2 months vs. 2 weeks, 4 times longer. But that's fine, because your expertise is a more long-te

I'd say the difference is all about time. Kima is awesome for startups, who need a cash infusion RIGHT NOW. This can often save a startup and make the difference between the startup shutting down and it becoming a billion dollar compan

To the naysayers, the biggest downside of fundraising is just the insane distraction and time it takes to get through that process. Kima Ventures has simply understood that and has solved that problem. There are a lot of startups for whom i

Why didn't you wait another day, deposit the same amount and then buy the minimum amount, I think it's 0.1 BTC, is it?
521.
by wellboy 13y ago
Yeah you don't buy BTC upfront, you buy Linden Dollar and exchange that into BTC on virwox, that's how it works.

by wellboy 13y ago
Not really, just use http://virwox.com/ and you can Bitcoins through credit card or paypal instantly. There is a daily account limit though of $110 for new accounts, after 10 days of $150 etc.

Doesn't matter bro, you can get a job at many startups with a $100,000 salary in the bay area now. Failure is valued in the valley. You know life is just the blink of an eye and then we are buried 6 feet under, it doesn't matter,

You just need to let in exclusively the crazy startups, the insane ones. That's the only metric. 90% failure rates, but the remaining 10% (5 startups) is all Dropboxes and AirBNBs --> Average YC startup valuation up 10-fold.

No one expects from a non-funded startup with 1 engineer on board to have all the security figured out. However, if you are VC funded with 10 engineers on the team, this is inexcusable.

Hey cool, thanks for jumping in! You said it must come from my own pocket, however my impression was that it can come from anywhere, be it an American angel investor, a Suisse one, an American VC, Israeli VC or my uncle doesn't matter.

You need to understand what a bubble is and what isn't. It's a bubble when bets are made on things that have nothing backing up their immense valuation. Now, you need some smartness to understand that the value in currencies is no

A good share of companies don't have to. If you look at the recent acquisitions, lots of them hadn't even made one penny of revenue.

They do exist. The definition of valuation is the price someone is willing to pay it. Facebook is willing to pay it, investors are willing to pay it. That's the definition of valuation.

Why sell? After a valuation of $100M it's all just fun and games and a very unique experience that fewer than a 10 people/year or so can have in their lives. You can't buy that with money.
