just a question:
why all this "good news" for fund rising, don't let bitcoin price rise???
i think this is the real question!!!
This is not related at all. Funding companies and startups is not going to make the price rise. It is not like that money is exactly going to the exchange.
This is great news. I think that the last overview was made by Coindesk. I would very much like to read another one. I'm quite interested in the exact number of investments in 2015 so far. A lot of money has poured into Bitcoin in 2015. Who knows what 2016 could bring? Also we have to separate blockchain projects that are not directly related to Bitcoin. They're just using blockchain technology, not Bitcoin.
I was wondering about price myself and you are right that it is not directly related, we won't see any immediate price increase.
But all these startups are a good sign and assurance to people that are faltering. You can invest in bitcoin and you will be safe in the long run.
Even separate blockchain project could give bitcoin some attention - and effectively boost its price as a result.
