Pulling out any excess funds might be a good idea at this stage, just to err on the side of caution.

It is sad to see such companies lose traction in the world of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, though. Bitcoin has a lot of potential in the peer-to-peer lending industry around the world, due to its lower fees and global accessibility. Perhaps

BTCJam was simply too far ahead of the curve to make this concept a viable business model at this stage.
