“Definitely not for the faint of heart, those skilled and experienced venture capitalists entering the arena will be playing with fire. This is not a game of targeting an app and throwing seed money at developers located in Silicon Valley or Silicon Alley.

Bitcoin is disruption within supreme disruption.”
