“We suppose Gigaom was right when they called Coinbase the ‘easiest on-ramp to the Bitcoin world.’ Frankly, we found getting into the world is far more work than the average person is willing to put in. But with startups like Coinbase getting $5 million in seed money, and more and more serious investors working to legitimize it, the “friction” of exchange is likely to smooth out. Bitcoin, as a phenomenon, will be interesting to watch as the currency continues to evolve – or de-evolves. But regardless of whether bitcoin is worthless, the future of currency, or something in between, we’ll be a part of it, and plan on reporting back as the industry changes.”
