BitBond secures $1.2m funding
An investment of $1.2 million seems small if compared with Silicon Valley’s big investment rounds. But for an investment from German business angels to a German Bitcoin startup, $1.2 million is significant and might set a new record. BitBond, the startup that received funding, is like a global village. People from all over the world, from the USA, the Philippines, Greece, India and so on introduce themselves and ask for a loan. There is a merchant from the States who wants to increase his stock of fitness gadgets; a Colombian, who wants to set up a Bitcoin ATM, or an Indian, who needs funds to start as a forex trader. And much more.
