'We want to be the Apple of Bitcoin,' said Charlie Shrem, the CEO of BitInstant.

Gavin Andresen, Jon Matonis, Patrick Murck, Charlie Shrem, and Peter Vessenes launched in September The Bitcoin Foundation to 'accelerate the global growth of bitcoin through standardization, protection, and promotion of the open source protocol'.īitInstant also launched products and services throughout 2012, allowing users to purchase Bitcoins for cash deposits at 7-11, Walmart, CVS, and Moneygram locations. By the end of 2012, the site implemented an escrow system that instilled trust in user transactions. Jeremias Kangas founded in June LocalBitcoins, the go-to website for in-person Bitcoin transactions, from his home of Helsinki, Finland. The company launched services to buy and sell bitcoin through bank transfers in October. Soon thereafter, San Francisco-based Coinbase was founded in June, and raised $600,000 in seed funding from Y Combinator, IDG Ventures, Greg Kidd, Adam Draper, FundersClub, Start Fund, and Garry Tan. “Combined with multiple bank account closures and Paxum's decision to close all Bitcoin business accounts, we have deemed the best course of action is to halt trading and pursue licensing while raising funds.'

WordPress by then featured e-commerce plugins for WordPress, including a BitPay plugin enabling Bitcoin payments. Our goal is to enable people, not block them.” Whatever the reason, we don’t think an individual blogger from Kenya, Haiti, Cuba, or Iraq should have diminished access to the blogosphere because of payment issues they can’t control. Some are blocked for political reasons, some because of higher fraud rates, and some for other financial reasons.

It added: “PayPal alone blocks access from over 60 countries, and many credit card companies have similar restrictions.

“And while anyone can start a free blog here, not everyone can access upgrades (like going ad-free or enabling custom design) because of limits on traditional payment networks.”

“At, our mission is making publishing democratic - accessible and easy for anyone, anywhere,” the company’s press release read.
