Seems to be lots of hype but no product.
1. Circle Raises lots of money.
2. XYZ Wall St exec joins board.
3. Circle spends shitloads buying .com domain
etc ...
From what I can see, they're trying to do everything Coinbase has already done.
But then again, I'm just a blind outsider listening to the inner workings of a factory.
What are people's thoughts?
Well it was circle.com - that was never going to be cheap

Let's wait and see. I'm happy for companies to spend time developing good services before announcing -> Launching. Much more professional than most bitcoin companies that just throw a website together and call it a product, then its gone six months later.
