Feel free to correct me, but as to how I comprehend those articles regarding huge companies accepting this mode of payment, they are more of a third party network than investors. As to how I interpret this, they are only into transaction fees and are not into the game itself. Unless those companies would choose to invest and risk in this technology. But primarily, they are into the money in every transaction of their users. Also, it would be hard to manipulate the market price of crypto s as evident to whales in this industry wherein they could make a slight change but not for a long period of time.
