I read the Forbes article earlier today, and it talks about Grayscale holding 1.2% of all the Bitcoin in circulation. Couldn't verify that myself, but does anyone know if they really have 176k++ BTC in custody? That's one big ass piece of whale even if they're only managing it for clients.
The #dropgold ad I watched is a little silly. Silly people in Armanis running like they've never actually run in real life. I tell you, if someone gave me a cart of gold bars I'd take it instead of going to Grayscale to "buy Bitcoin" only so that they can "take care of it for me".
I actually have the same reaction myself. Why not give the gold to me so that I can sold them for some charitable activities and some investments? But then the message is that people should start now taking a look at Bitcoin and not anymore with traditional safe haven like gold. The new gold is here called Bitcoin though it is so volatile like hell (an opportunity as well as risk rolled into one). Still, it is good to see an ad focusing on Bitcoin and the many things it can do for all of us.
