Buttercoin was started with a lot of enthusiasm and potential to write a new success story. Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Y Combinator, which is a startup incubation program, backed it. Even though things went fine for the initial few months, but when no investor in Silicon Valley showed interest in this concept, they finally decided to pull the curtains down.

Buttercoin released a statement saying that reduced interest in the bitcoin concept by investors based in Silicon Valley forced the company to shut its operations. In order to make sure that the customers who have linked their bank accounts with the ones provided by the company, it has given a final deadline of April 10, 2015.
