India's Zebpay Halts Services, Japan's LINE to Debut Five New dApps and Digital Coin, Sierra Leone Partners with Kiva and UN to Give Citizens Access to Financial Services and Mongolia Debuts First Digital Currency 'Candy'

Data from CoinMarketCap tells us that the total market capitalization is $221 billion USD at press time. This is an improvement over yesterday morning's $217 billion USD, but not quite as high as last night's peak of $226 billion USD. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $6669 USD, Ethereum (ETH) at $225 USD and XRP at $0.53 USD, each showing modest growth in the past day. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is down about 3 percent and trading at $545 USD.
Indian crypto exchange Zebpay has halted all trading until further notice, according to an announcement on Medium. The blog post explains that despite Zebpay's determination to continue offering their services, difficulties such as the restriction of bank accounts have made further business unfeasible.
"Despite regulatory and banking problems along our journey, we continued to look for solutions as we did not want India to miss the bus of digital assets that power the public blockchain. However, the recent past has been extremely difficult. The curb on bank accounts has crippled our, and our customer's, ability to transact business meaningfully. At this point, we are unable to find a reasonable way to conduct the cryptocurrency exchange business."
Japanese messaging giant LINE has announced five new decentralized apps (dApps), as well as a new digital coin. CoinDesk reports that the dApps will include: a question-and-answer app called Wizball Overview, a product review app called Pasha Overview, an app that creates a prediction market called 4CAST Overview, a food review app called TAPAS Overview and finally STEP Overview for location reviews. LINE's existing digital coin, LINK, is only available outside of Japan and the U.S., whereas their newly announced LINK Point will only be available in Japan.
At the 73rd Session of the U.N. General Assembly (UNGA), Sierra Leone's president, Julia Maada Bio, announced a partnership with leading technology nonprofit Kiva, the U.N. Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) and the U.N. Development Programme (UNDP) to launch a blockchain-based system that will give citizens of his country access to financial services. Called the Kiva Protocol, it will establish a national identification system using the blockchain. Kiva CEO Neville Crawley said:
"With this partnership in Sierra Leone, we hope to carve a path to a system of global identity and federated credit history. This can unlock capital for the populations who need it most, allowing lenders to massively increase services and the flow of funds to the world's unbanked."
Mongolia has launched its first official digital currency, according to a report from state-owned media outlet Montsame. The first company to acquire a license for digital currency is Mobifinance, a financial branch of Mobicom Corporation. The company has already begun circulation of its digital currency called ‘Candy'. Mobicom Corporation CEO Tatsuya Hamada said:
"As digital currencies have begun to circulate, ATMs and cards will become a thing of the past as well."

Point Roberts, WA and Kelowna, BC - September 28, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Cannabis Investor Ideas - www.Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including marijuana and hemp stocks and its potcast (podcast) site, www.potcasts.ca release an exclusive interview with Marco Hegyi, CEO of GrowLife, Inc. (OTC: PHOT), who brings extensive technology experience and a history of growing operations to the company.
Listen to the podcast:

Investor Ideas #Potcasts #Cannabis News and Stocks on the Move: Marco Hegyi, CEO of GrowLife, Inc. (OTC: $PHOT)

Marco is focused on bringing a revolutionary vertical grow room system to market with the aim of energy and cost reduction for growers. This proprietary vertical grow room system is currently undergoing a Proof-of-Concept (POC) study in Colorado. Marco has performed several executive roles including President & CEO of private and public companies, vice-president of sales and marketing, senior director of product management, and began as a systems and real-time software engineer. He has led early-stage companies, grown small to mid-size technology companies, and set industry standards at market-leading corporations. He has also managed global programs and initiatives at Microsoft and Yahoo, and is the inventor of several patents.
GrowLife, Inc. is the leading ‘picks and shovels' company for the cannabis industry, carrying a wide range of growing supplies sold throughout the U.S. and Canada. The company recently had an amazing quarter of growth and is looking forward to the future with its proprietary grow room and further expansion into Canada's burgeoning market.
Marco discusses why there is more marijuana pesticide testing going on in Colorado and the effects to the industry how necessary this is to control quality of product, as well as where the cannabis space is heading moving forward.
Interview Highlights:
Q: As you supply to both the US and Canada, what are some of the major differences you've noticed between your business dealings in both countries and how do you see this affecting the future of the cannabis in each country?
"There are pluses and minuses to both. I think the US is not as much of a minus as I had originally thought. I thought Canada was going to be a bit of a Nirvana, but it turns out to be much like another state in terms of serving it differently with its' own unique policies."
Q: With the recent news speculation on Aurora Cannabis Inc, (TSX:ACB) and Coca Cola (NYSE:KO), do you think a move like this will be the big push for the cannabis market into mainstream or what do you see as the major influencer?
"I don't wait for that to happen and I don't think that will make us mainstream. I think what will make the industry mainstream is when the Federal government says we're supporting this and it's going to take us two or three years to make the modifications and get the entire industry and all the states aligned and then it will happen. Then when I think you'll see the national brands step in."

Investorideas.com - #Cannabis #Investor Ideas: Looking at Acquisitions / Ancillary Markets - DirectView Holdings (OTC: $DIRV), (TSX: $ACB.TO), (OTC: $ACBFF), ($CSIQ), (TSX: $WEED.TO), ($CGC)

Investorideas.com - #Cannabis #Investor Ideas: Looking at Acquisitions / Ancillary Markets - DirectView Holdings (OTC: $DIRV), (TSX: $ACB.TO), (OTC: $ACBFF), ($CSIQ), (TSX: $WEED.TO), ($CGC)



#Cannabis #Investor Ideas: Looking at Acquisitions / Ancillary Markets - DirectView Holdings (OTC: $DIRV), (TSX: $ACB.TO), (OTC: $ACBFF), ($CSIQ), (TSX: $WEED.TO), ($CGC)

News about Aurora Cannabis, Canopy Growth Corporation, Canadian Solar, DirectView Holdings (OTC: DIRV)


Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - September 28, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Cannabis Investor Ideas- Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering security and cannabis stocks releases a sector snapshot of the growing cannabis sector and how investors can capitalize on the opportunity by finding potential acquisition targets and ancillary products and services.
Key to future growth of the global cannabis industry are ancillary products and services including security - ranging from surveillance technology to cyber security, banking and payments, real estate, insurance, solar energy, packaging and innovative tech including AI.
DirectView Holdings, Inc. (OTC: DIRV), a video surveillance solutions technology and Kush Bottles (Quote), a packaging and branding company are examples of companies that currently offer ancillary products and services, that may also be potential acquisition targets to cannabis companies posturing for growth. Looking at solar as an ancillary service, Profit Confidential recently noted, "An interesting thought is the employment of solar energy to complement the electric grid in growing marijuana. To play this potential connection, a solar solutions company like Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: CSIQ) seems logical."
According to PWC Canada, "For long-term success, cannabis companies need to adopt technology as a critical capability."
They also note, "Entrepreneurs in the cannabis industry are moving at warp speed to get their businesses up and running in time for the Canadian government’s legalization of adult-use cannabis, creating billions of dollars of value in the process. Most companies however, have failed to implement appropriate technology strategies during this boom, putting much of that equity at risk."
For example, licensed producers (LPs) have made physical security a priority, installing surveillance cameras and establishing sign-in logs as part of compliance requirements necessary to maintain a licence. That said, few have given cybersecurity sufficient attention, opening the way for possible breaches that could damage operations, brand reputation, intellectual property and financial security."
DirectView Holdings, Inc. (OTC: DIRV) currently serves multiple sectors, including education and hotels, in addition to targeting the cannabis space. Its security division offers technologies in surveillance systems providing onsite and remote video and audio surveillance, digital video recording and services. It also sells and installs surveillance systems and sells maintenance agreements. The company sells its products and services in the United States and internationally through direct sales force, referrals, and its websites.
In a recent interview, DirectView’s Chairman and CEO, Roger Ralston said that his company is looking at acquisition targets for future growth. Source -https://directview.com/directviews-nasdaq-interview-is-now-live/
An acquisition strategy is a fast-track path to growth and right now few sectors are doing it better than the cannabis industry. It also offers investors an opportunity to participate in the growth if they buy the right target. Some of the acquisitions are with private companies but the big headliners have been with smaller publicly-traded companies in the sector.
Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB.TO) (OTC: ACBFF) turned industry heads with its acquisition of one of its rivals, MedReleaf Corp. On July 25, 2018, Aurora Cannabis Inc. completed its acquisition of MedReleaf Corp. in a deal valued at US$2.5 billion or ($3.2 billion). This is the largest acquisition deal in the industry so far. Following that news, Aurora continued the hunt and announced on August 14th it had completed the acquisition of Anandia Laboratories.($115 Million). On August 7th it announced it had entered into a letter of intent to acquire the cannabis business of HotHouse Consulting Inc., a provider of advanced greenhouse consulting services.
On September 10th, Aurora Cannabis and ICC Labs Inc. announced that the companies have entered into a definitive arrangement agreement pursuant to which Aurora intends to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of ICC (the ICC Shares) for $1.95 per share (payable in common shares of Aurora (the Aurora Shares) (the Share Consideration), reflecting an aggregate purchase price of approximately $290 million
One of the leaders in the sector has also been on an acquisition path. Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED.TO) (NYSE:CGC) and Hiku Brands Company Ltd. announced the closing of the acquisition of Hiku by Canopy Growth on September 5th. In a previous news releaseannouncing the intent of the acquisition the company noted, "Hiku equals brands. Canopy is built on brands. So we combined them," said Bruce Linton, Chairman & CEO, Canopy Growth. Just like the other big players, they have been on a whirlwind acquisition path with a flurry of news announcements.
Showing the power of the cannabis sector and having everyone look to possible deals in media, High Times just announced the acquisition of DOPE Media, Inc., an integrated cannabis consumer lifestyle company. The latest in a year full of media acquisitions, the 45-year-old institution picked up the flagship magazine, multimedia website, events business and its staff, to further expand its ownership of the cannabis media space. This acquisition comes ahead of High Times' public listing later this quarter and amid its on-going Regulation A+ crowdfunding campaign.
Valued at $11.2 million, the deal was completed with a split of cash and stock in the growing High Times empire.
