MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (OTC: MGTI) announced today an agreement with Bit5ive LLC to purchase up to 60 graphics processor-based mining computers. These machines will utilize the highest quality GPU cards and Intel CPU's with a design to divide the hash rate between Ethereum (ETH) and Ethereum Classic (ETC). The utility of smart contract technology has gained the interest of many on and off Wall Street in recent months. For example, Grayscale investments, led by Barry Silbert, announced plans to launch the "Classic Ether Trust," with Bloomberg adding Grayscale's Ethereum Classic ticker symbol and investment thesis to its research base. We also believe the formation of the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance - comprised of many of the world's leading technology companies - will lead to new and exciting applications and verticals utilizing the Ethereum blockchain, all requiring more robust mining power in order to execute transactions.

"I remember getting interested in bitcoin some time ago," Wozniak said. "It was $70 for a bitcoin, man and I went online and you had to have a special bank account at a special bank and I couldn't buy any bitcoin so I gave up. Eventually I got some of them at the $700 stage and it went down to $350. I didn't invest, I did it so I could play with bitcoin." http://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/12/apples-steve-wozniak-bought-bitcoin-at-700.html
