Welcome to Bitcoin Venture Capital!

Who are we?

BTCVC is an organization committed to helping establish small startup companies that are willing to take a chance on providing goods and services sold in exchange for Bitcoin. If you're not familiar with Bitcoin, check out this great video for an answer to the question, What is a bitcoin?

Why are we necessary?

The increasing popularity of Bitcoin has led to a price increase as demand comes from outside sources. Recent coverage by notable publications such as Forbes and Wired magazine has caused an increased interest in Bitcoin from amateur investors, but unless an economy with goods and services based on Bitcoin can be established, Bitcoin never has the potential to be anything more than just a vehicle with which to transfer value from one currency to another.

How does holding Bitcoin hurt Bitcoin’s value?

The Bitcoin economy is too young to predict the stable value long term. One thing that will definitely hurt the economy of Bitcoin is a lack of liquidity. Holding on to your mined Bitcoins or large chunk of BTC that you've received as an early adopter helps contribute to a liquidity freeze. Holding Bitcoin in your wallet and not spending them is much like burying an asset in your back yard, only it's worse because the Bitcoin economy is finite. Removing Bitcoins from the economy indefinitely slows the adoption of Bitcoin as a respected international currency.

What can I do with these Bitcoins instead of holding them?

Selling them off in large chunks virtually guarantees a drop in Bitcoin Value. If Bitcoin only exists as a medium to exchange with other currencies, Bitcoin will become an untraceable version of Forex that's plagued by fraud. The only way to sustain the economy of Bitcoin is to invest in businesses based in providing goods and services in exchange for Bitcoin. This is where we come in!

What do we do?

We have a database of business plans from potential startup companies that require a different amount of initial capital. We fund these companies using a mixture of Bitcoin and traditional currencies on the condition that they conduct a significant portion of their business in Bitcoin.

I have Bitcoin and want to invest, where can I see these business plans?

We offer a brief snippet of the startup ideas that are currently under development through our ongoing Startup List, however there are new projects being submitted every day so you can always contact us for more information.
