Disclaimer: I own some bitcoins.
From Michael A. Robinson (Money Map 2015 05 08):
1) "Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS) recently said that it is co-leading a nearly $50 million investment in Bitcoin payments startup Circle Internet Financial as part of its effort to buy stakes in young financial-tech (fintech) companies." [Surprise there, one would think that big banks would be loath to give Bitcoin any support.]
2) " . . . itBit will be the first Bitcoin exchange to operate out of New York state - the capital of the financial world." [itBit can be used like a bank {NOT a reco}].
3) Robinson thinks Overstock is trying to establish the first stock market that is based on the Bitcoin. {NOT a reco}
4) Robinson wrote, " . . . [is anticipating] the SEC approval of the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust, which would be the first full-fledged Bitcoin ETF." {NOT a reco}
