visiting online Bitcoin exchanges as often as 30 times a day

That's 30 visits total, right? That could just be a couple of workers (one of which was perhaps Fred Ehrsam?) checking the price a couple of times an hour, so it doesn't seem to me like it represents much evidence of interest on the part of the firm as a whole.

Upvoted for the rest of the comment and the colorful Warren Buffet analogy.
