Bitcoin startup Buttercoin shuts up shop

Source: Buttercoin

Buttercoin will be turning off our service on April 10th at 11PM Pacific.

Be sure to move your bitcoins to another service and remove your dollar balances by Friday April 10th at 11PM.

For reference...
Dollar balances not removed will be sent back to the accounts they came from.
Bitcoin balances in Buttercoin after April 10th will be converted to USD and sent to the bank linked to your account.

It’s been a wonderful ride and we're delighted to have created a service so many people enjoy. With the dip in bitcoin interest among Silicon Valley investors, we weren't able to generate enough venture capital interest to continue funding Buttercoin.

We remain 100% secure & solvent with all customer funds accounted for.

We started Buttercoin with the goal of creating secure and scalable bitcoin infrastructure the community could rely on. We commited to building a service with excellent Security, Technology, Liquidity and Compliance. We're proud to have delivered on our goal and commitments.

We wish you all the best and will be around personally if you have questions or just want to talk bitcoin. You can reach us via hello@buttercoin.com. Our staff has always been humble, but are among the most talented in their fields and we're excited to see them go on and be leaders in their industries.
