We should get another investor update soon, which may clarify this. The investment in Coinbase was planned to go into a fund vehicle with a 25% carry. JE requested to pay us 25% of any profits on the investment through his own vehicle. Do you have any suggestion as to how we paper this?

Dollars of bitcoin traded What % did our primary metric grow last month? -32% <Screenshot 2016-02-02 11.01.25.png> Summary The bitcoin price (and trading volume, which drives our revenue) continues to be higher than 2015 average levels, but there is a good amount of fluctuation month to month. We continue to focus on being the easiest place to buy and sell bitcoin (more payment methods, more countries, simplified limits, etc). However, this year we are also trying a handful of prototypes designed to create growth in the wider bitcoin ecosystem since this will drive our revenue long term. Nothing specific to announce on that front yet. The block size debate about how bitcoin will scale continues in the background. We are working with a number of the teams behind the scenes to help ensure the protocol keeps scaling (and is not held back by any of the early idealists). We remain optimistic that bitcoin's ingenious upgrade mechanism (miner voting) will work as designed. My guess is that the network will upgrade to 2MB blocks in the coming month or two, and once this first "hard fork" is shown to be successful, the price of bitcoin will respond accordingly (by going up!). In the future, hard forks will happen periodically (perhaps once a year) which will allow bitcoin to continue improving as a protocol. Thank you for your support.
