Peter Diamandis bulluish on cryptocurrencies

[Empirical1]

According to a study by CoinDesk, venture capital investments into Bitcoin comprised $US 56 million in the month of May alone, nearly reaching the total for the first four months of the year, which was $US 57.2 million, putting the year-to-date Bitcoin venture capital investments at more than $US 100 million. If the trend holds, Bitcoin investments could easily reach a quarter of a billion dollars in 2014, tripling the yearly figure from 2013.

That would be amazing if there was $250 million in VC investments in 2014, considering in January 2013, Bitcoin's market CAP was smaller than that!

There was an article I read a few weeks ago that said that the total amount of money invested into Bitcoin infrastructure is a little higher than it was in 1995 for Internet infrastructure.

I think it was an article on money morning or somethjng like that.

Transhumanists are coming indeed, maybe Kurzweil will be pissed off because he did not predict it

Put this guy on the radar, co/founder of the Singularity University. Team up with transhumanists, technooptimists, futurists.. the optimistic, bold and enthusiastic people will run further and further ahead of everyone else in times to come..

snippet,

"put me on the lookout for the "User Interface Moment" - that moment in time when an entrepreneur designs a piece of interface software (think Marc Andreessen and Mosaic) that makes it so easy to use bitcoin... I'll be reporting on those user interfaces, investing in those startups and helping to promote them... We are right in the middle of Phase 3 right now. Thousands of bitcoin companies are getting funding. Many of these are trying to create the "User-Interface Moment." ... Phase 4: Fall 2014 thru 2015 will like see the start of the Wall Street Phase."
