Evolution of the Cannabis
industry and why Israel is number one

Pt. Roberts, WA; Delta, BC – May 11, 2018
(Investorideas.com Newswire) www.Investorideas.com, a global news source
covering leading sectors including marijuana and hemp stocks, releases an
exclusive podcast  interview with Mike
Gorenstein, CEO of Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON, TSX-V: CRON).

Mike Gorenstein was at the Arcview Group Investor Pitch
Forum, at the Westin Bayshore in Vancouver, Canada from April 30th to May 2nd.
The forum brought together over 200 high-net investors with cannabis thought
leaders and companies at the forefront of the new space. Cronos was a
significant presence at the event, being the first Nasdaq-listed cannabis
company.

the full podcast: Mike Gorenstein of (NASDAQ:CRON) –Evolution of the Cannabis
industry and why Israel is still number one

http://www.investorideas.com/Audio/Podcasts/2018/051018-CRON.mp3

A key topic at the event was the merit of treating
cannabis primarily an agricultural product or as a consumer good. Gorenstein
said that other countries, such as Colombia, are better suited for the
agricultural side as they have a more ideal climate and are more cost
effective.

“It’s an agricultural product and if you look at where
it makes sense to grow the product, climate does matter, labour costs matter
and with Colombia you will have a massive cost advantage,” he said.

Gorenstein outlined the analogous behaviour in other
markets.

“When you think of Apple, they don’t make their iPhones
in California,” he said. “If you want to be cost competitive and you still want
to get a high quality product to a consumer at a reasonable price, it is going
to be important to take advantage of different structural pros and cons of
countries and in Colombia and Latin America there is always going to be a very
strong built-in advantage based off climate.”

This complemented Cronos Group’s production and
distribution operations in Israel, which Gorenstein explained the advantages
of.

“The most important factor was the opportunities for
research and development and technology,” he said. “What ultimately will
separate the winners from the, we’ll call them not-winners, is going to be
technology and innovation. Israel’s been by far the leader in cannabis research
for decades. So for us, putting our own operation in Israel, being able to get
access to all that historical talent, knowledge and experience is huge.”

Gorenstein contrasted the cannabis landscape of Israel
with those of Canada and the United States, with Israel’s historically more
academic grounding in the sector.

“It’s very interesting because in the U.S. and Canada
you see a black market and a grey market that’ve been around for years and have
a commercial system that’s now trying to evolve and move into this legal
framework,” he said. “In Israel you actually have a bunch of scientists and
professors and that’s been the market in Israel, it’s all been research. And
now they’re trying to figure out how to become commercial.”

Point Roberts, WA; Delta, BC - May 9, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leader in Blockchain content with its Bitcoin and blockchain portals Bitcoinandblockchainstocks.com, Cryptocurrencyinvestorideas.com and Blockchaininvestorideas.com reports on the blockchain market and stocks in the sector.

According to a recent report by ResearchAndMarkets.com, "The global blockchain market is expected to grow from USD 212.12 million 2016 to USD 8,682.82 million by the end of 2024, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 59.04%."

They explain, "The need to deliver improved Customer Experience is one of the factors largely attributing to the growth of blockchain market globally."

Blockchain is finding its way into everything from banking, financial services, insurance, healthcare, real estate, aerospace and defense, automotive, transportation and logistics and numerous other applications being explored for this disruptive secure ledger technology. Currently banking and financial services is one of the key applications for blockchain.

The majority of Americans may soon have 5-10 payment apps on their phones, including multipurpose apps like ApplePay, person-to-person platforms like Venmo and PayPal, and card-specific apps like Chase Pay."

Recent Stock News and Developments:

A company looking at the opportunities in blockchain mobile apps and payment solutions is Epazz, Inc. (OTC: EPAZ). Epazz, a leading provider of blockchain cryptocurrency mobile apps and cloud-based business software solutions, announced in April that the Company recorded operational income for the year ending in 2017. The Company recorded operational income of just over $628,000 dollars unaudited numbers which represented an increase of over 103 percent from 2016 numbers. The company also had positive net income for 2017. The company expects to complete its audit in the next several weeks.

The company already has over 5 blockchain mobile apps available for download. In addition, the company is finishing up development on Cordtell, its patent pending blockchain smart legal contracts solutions as well as developing patent pending blockchain patient portal solutions. Finally, in the coming weeks, the company will be releasing its Social Media Blockchain Decentralized Platform which removes the middlemen, allowing users to have more control over their data and how they connect with others.

ShieldSaver is building relationships with industry leaders and rapidly expanding its presence across the nation through relationships with international airport parking lot management companies, such as WallyPark and LAZ Parking.

ShieldSaver utilizes proprietary License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology to collect large quantities of important automotive and consumer data. There are many stakeholders that need access to this data; for instance, insurance companies have an interest in knowing that a windshield was actually in need of repair and that the repair was soundly completed. At the same time, much of the data collected is private and should only be shared with parties that have a legitimate need to access the data. As ShieldSaver expands its infrastructure, SinglePoint will provide the expertise to begin storing data in a blockchain-based, distributed ledger with appropriate access controls to ensure that parties who need access can retrieve it in the most secure and efficient manner.

In March, SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING) announced the soft launch of its SingleSeed payment bitcoin payments solution.

SinglePoint also entered into an agreement with Global Payout (OTC: GOHE) in December of last year. Global said it intended to begin collaborating with SinglePoint to maximize its existing suite of financial technology solutions, including those utilized by its majority owned subsidiary, MoneyGram Technology, Inc.

From the press release - According to Global CEO, "SinglePoint's knowledge and expertise in mobile payments and other mobile technology offerings is something we believe could be a significant addition to the financial payment platforms we have developed, and are still developing, for our clients in the many different industries we serve. We are also eager to use this agreement as an opportunity to examine how a partnership with SinglePoint can be leveraged to enhance the payment and financial solutions offered by MoneyTrac Technology, our majority owned subsidiary is focused on offering in the rapidly expanding multibillion dollar cannabis industry."

Global Payout has also integrated blockchain technology into its payment solutions company announcing in February - The Missing Piece: MoneyTrac Technology Aims to Disrupt Payment Technologies in JV with GreenBox POS, a Blockchain Company

Glance Technologies Inc. (GET.CN) (GLNNF) recently announced the opening of a Glance office in Melbourne, Australia, fulfilling another key milestone in the company's global expansion strategy.

Glance is bringing its full suite of payment, loyalty and blockchain solutions for the mobile era to Australia. Glance is exploring opportunities for its flagship Glance Pay and Glance Merchant apps, and an initial pilot with an Australian merchant is planned to be launched soon.

"Similarities in culture and language make Australia an ideal place for us to expand the international reach of Glance," says Glance Technologies CEO, Desmond Griffin. "Australia is a community of engaged, sophisticated consumers, with numerous businesses and entrepreneurs who are willing to embrace fluid, innovative tools with which to better serve them."
