Today's podcast overview/transcript:
Good afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com Potcast - following Cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.
Today we will be looking at announcements from TerrAscend Corp. trading on the CSE as TER and the OTCQX as TRSSF, CannaRoyalty Corp. Trading on the CSE as CRZ, Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc. trading on the CSE as PVO and the OTCQB as PVOTF, National Access Cannabis Corp. trading on the TSX-Venture as META and Marapharm Ventures Inc. trading on the CSE as MDM and the OTCQX as MRPHF.
TerrAscend Corp., today announced that the Company has been approved for trading on the OTCQX® Best Market ("OTCQX"). TerrAscend's common shares will begin trading under the ticker symbol "TRSSF" today and will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") under the symbol "TER".
Michael Nashat, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are excited to trade on the OTCQX as we seek to build a presence in the U.S. market, broaden investor access to our shares and further create shareholder value."
TerrAscend Corp. is a biopharmaceutical and wellness company that is committed to quality products, brands and services for the global cannabinoid market. On October 9, 2018, TerrAscend announced its intentions to expand into the U.S. market. The Company provides support to patients and consumers through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, TerrAscend Canada Inc., a licensed producer of medical cannabis under the ACMPR, Solace Health Network Inc., a clinical support program and education platform led by healthcare professionals and Solace Health, the online marketplace for the licensed producer. The Company will also participate in the adult-use market in Canada following legalization through direct and indirect supply agreements in several provinces. The Company holds a partnership with leading researchers in Ascendant Labs, a cannabis biotechnology and licensing company committed to the continuous improvement of the cannabis plant.
CannaRoyalty Corp., a leading North American cannabis products and brands company, announced that it has registered "Origin House" as a business name and will begin to conduct business under the Origin House name effective immediately. At market open on October 23, 2018, the Company's ticker symbol will change from "CRZ" to "OH" on the Canadian Securities Exchange.
The Origin House corporate identity embodies the Company's strategy to be the preeminent global house of cannabis brands. The new corporate logo visually represents this 'house', comprised of the union of Origin House's core components (the triangles) by a stylized cannabis leaf (the white space). The Company has unveiled an updated investor presentation and fact sheet as part of this new identity, which are available on its new website, originhouse.com.
Marc Lustig, Chairman and CEO of Origin House commented, "I couldn't be more excited by what we're building at Origin House. While many public cannabis companies are now attempting to build brands by putting logos on packages, we have already supported the growth of 50+ brand partners. While most other companies have been staking flags across the globe in constrained markets with limited economics or brand building capability, we've been operating for years in the largest and most dynamic market in the world, staking flags in what we see as the most valuable real estate out there - consumer mindshare. And now, with the launch of Origin House, we are officially signaling our intention to leverage that mindshare globally."
Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc. announced that it has closed a non-brokered Private Placement (the "Private Placement") for a total of C$1,641,300 and has also settled C$1,500,000 of outstanding debt with the issuance of common shares and share purchase warrant. Proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for general working capital purposes, capital expenditures and patent costs.
National Access Cannabis Corp., a best practices leader in delivering secure, safe, and responsible access to legal cannabis in Canada today announced the signing of Pharmacy Cannabis Program Agreements with 70 pharmacies in Canada that will be participating in the National Access Cannabis Medical Inc. ("NACM") Medical Cannabis Management System™ ("MCMS") in addition to those announced in April 2018, bringing the total number of pharmacies working with NACM to 111.
"We see this as tremendous growth for NAC," said Mark Goliger, CEO of NAC. "This unique pharmacy partnership is a key pillar of our diversified cannabis business. The medical cannabis market in Canada is forecast to surpass $2B by 2020 (Deloitte, 2018), and as experienced medical clinic operators, we're excited to grow our medical division and broaden our ability to provide safe and responsible access to legal medical cannabis."
MCMS provides pharmacies with a turnkey medical cannabis program for their patients and, when legally permissible, assistance with management of product sourcing and distribution. The MCMS program roll-out was recently initiated with the on-boarding of a pilot pharmacy, a 2-day educational event for healthcare providers, and plans for systematic training to be launched across partner pharmacies in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. NACM continues to negotiate with pharmacies across Canada and is on target to enter into agreements with more than 150 pharmacies by late 2018-early 2019.
Marapharm Ventures Inc. announced to its shareholders, that further to its news release of October 17, 2018, its first facility has been granted the final approval to commence operations, from the State of Nevada.
On Friday October 19th, the State of Nevada completed their final inspection of the first 5,000 sq. ft facility which is designated to the Company's Phenofarm Cultivation Licence. All permitting is complete for this licence and the final approval now allows for the immediate transition of plants to the new facility to complete their cycle and provide first harvest.
The Company's second 5,000 sq. ft facility, designated to the Econevada Cultivation and Processing Licences is pending final kitchen and equipment inspection.

Hong Kong Stock Exchange Says Blockchain Should Be Regulated Under Existing Framework, Samsung Partners with Dutch Bank and Port of Rotterdam for Blockchain Shipping Platform, Deputy Governor of Bank of Japan Dismisses CBDCs and Tennis Star Caroline Wozniacki to Launch Crypto Token

Total market capitalization is sitting at $210 billion USD as we open the week, according to data from CoinMarketCap. At press time, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $6529 USD, Ether (ETH) at $206 USD, XRP at $0.45 USD and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) at $449 USD.
A research report published by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) on Oct 18 advances the idea that blockchain technology, including digital currencies, should be regulated using existing frameworks. The report, titled FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS AND RELATED REGULATORY FRAMEWORK, concludes that in order to be consistent, existing securities regulations must be applied to the emerging digital currency space.
The principle of consistency requires that robo-advisors and the issuance of digital currencies and digital funds must be governed under the existing securities regulatory framework. The legitimacy of crowdfunding has yet to be recognised by regulators. The public fund-raising activities of shares issuance by issuers — which do so with merely a prospectus published on the Internet but without any underwriter nor compliance with the IPO registration procedures or strict disclosure requirements — must be rectified by subjecting them to the governance by the Securities Law.
Samsung’s IT subsidiary has partnered with Dutch bank ABN AMRO and Europe’s largest port, Rotterdam, to test a blockchain platform for shipping, according to an announcement today. The Samsung SDS announcement said that following a successful trial, transactions will be streamlined and will make for easier shipping in the future.
When the pilot project of applying blockchain technology to the port of departure from Rotterdam [to the] port in Asia is completed, it will simplify the financial transactions such as confirmation of receipt and payment, real-time sharing of documents related to receipt and entry, and so on.
The deputy governor of the Bank of Japan (BOJ), Masayoshi Amamiya, disputed the efficacy of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), according to the New York Times on Oct 20. In a speech in Nagoya, during a meeting of academics, Amamiya explained that in order for the central bank to make effective use of CBDCs in monetary policy, the bank would have to eliminate cash altogether.
"In order for central banks to overcome the zero lower bound on nominal interest rates, they would need to get rid of cash from society. Getting rid of cash now is not an option for us as a central bank."
Amamiya also pointed out that as it stands, digital currencies are still not widely used as currency, but rather as speculative investments.
Danish tennis star Caroline Wozniacki became the first female athlete to launch her own crypto token, according to a report from Reuters on Oct 20. Wozniacki signed a deal with Singaporean crypto exchange Global Crypto Offering Exchange (GCOX), who said that "the tokens will give buyers exclusive merchandise and interactions with their favorite celebrities, and that the celebrities will receive proceeds from the token sales."

Investorideas.com - From #Tokens to #Malta (Part 1)

Investorideas.com - From #Tokens to #Malta (Part 1)



From #Tokens to #Malta (Part 1)


October 22, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) 2019 is looming out there and strong events are taking place right now in the cryptocurrency market. Today more than ever, when we speak of tokens we're talking about assets. But what is a token exactly?
Usually, it's an amount of money, but the possibility is open for it to represent something else entirely - membership in a program, for instance, or proof of ownership. Each token is visually conceptualized as a custom coin with a certain name and properties; consider a casino's poker chips as analogue tokens.
Many of these coins offer a value proposition of a "utility token". The idea of a utility token is that the token is necessary to transact in a particular ecosystem.
Another type of token is the "security token," in which a token represents a share in an organization. This token type is more like a stock, or bond, or certificate of ownership of a financial instrument.

A token is a unit of virtual currency. 

Bitcoin is the primary token in cryptocurrency: the oldest, most valuable, and perhaps the most used. It serves many purposes, but they are almost exclusively financial and Bitcoin is known for the BTC digital currency on the cryptocurrency exchange.
Tokens need to be built on a blockchain based cryptocurrency platform, such as Etherium, NXT, Waves and others. A platform, akin to Etherium for example, allows these tokens to form their own financial ecosystem while leveraging the scale of an existing currency.
In early 2018 tokens became very popular with the booms of ICOs–initial coin offerings.
In some cases tokens are used specifically as a funding mechanism for companies and the Initial Coin Offering ICO has become the main tool to raise money in recent times. In those cases, they act like a stock. Other tokens have purposes which cannot be completed without them.
Others are designed purely as digital currency and could one day soon could come loaded with a selection of coins that can be used in every major retail outlet.
The value of the digital currencies' token is ultimately determined by its purpose and desirability. Since anyone can issue a token on a public blockchain, only well-designed, well-intentioned, and useful tokens retain long-term value. (At least, theoretically.)
Governments around the world are trying to regulate cryptocurrencies and accepting tokens as "real money". The country of Malta has officially passed three bills into law establishing a 'legal certainty' for cryptocurrency businesses.
Today, cryptocurrency is a space for unlimited innovation.

Next week we'll talk about tokens, ICOs and their many applications and purposes. Great ideas and initiatives are one coming out this November 1st at the Malta Blockchain Summit.

Investorideas.com - What's Brewing in the #Cannabis #Beverage Market; American Premium Water (OTC: $HIPH), Aurora (TSX: $ACB.TO) (OTC: $ACBFF), Canopy Growth (TSX: $WEED.TO) (NYSE: $CGC), The Hydropothecary Corporation (TSX: $HEXO.TO)

Investorideas.com - What's Brewing in the #Cannabis #Beverage Market; American Premium Water (OTC: $HIPH), Aurora (TSX: $ACB.TO) (OTC: $ACBFF), Canopy Growth (TSX: $WEED.TO) (NYSE: $CGC), The Hydropothecary Corporation (TSX: $HEXO.TO)



What's Brewing in the #Cannabis #Beverage Market; American Premium Water (OTC: $HIPH), Aurora (TSX: $ACB.TO) (OTC: $ACBFF), Canopy Growth (TSX: $WEED.TO) (NYSE: $CGC), The Hydropothecary Corporation (TSX: $HEXO.TO)


Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - October 22, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including marijuana and hemp stocks releases a sector snapshot with a focus on CBD and THC beverage deals brewing as the legal cannabis market in Canada just opened up new opportunities. Companies mentioned; American Premium Water Corporation (OTC: HIPH), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB.TO) ( OTC: ACBFF), Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED.TO), The Hydropothecary Corporation (TSX: HEXO.TO).
From announced deals of 'Constellation Brands to Invest $5 Billion CAD [$4 Billion USD] in Canopy Growth to Establish Transformative Global Position and Alignment', to speculative deals like the Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB.TO) (OTC: ACBFF) Coca-Cola deal, the amount of money at stake is staggering.
According to the news from Ontario based Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED.TO) (NYSE: CGC), commenting on the Constellation Brands deal, "This investment, the largest to date in the cannabis space, will provide funds which Canopy Growth will deploy to strategically build and/or acquire key assets needed to establish global scale in the nearly 30 countries pursuing a federally permissible medical cannabis program, while also rapidly laying the global foundation needed for new recreational cannabis markets. Canopy Growth's Canadian platform does not require additional cannabis cultivation assets, and management views other jurisdictions, including the United States, as strategic priorities requiring significant capital."
In a recent Time.com article looking at the potential Coca-Cola /Aurora Cannabis Inc.
(TSX: ACB.TO) (OTC: ACBFF) deal, it's noted, "Coke's possible foray into the marijuana sector comes as beverage makers are trying to add cannabis as a trendy ingredient while their traditional businesses slow." The article also includes a statement from Coca-Cola; '"We are closely watching the growth of non-psychoactive CBD as an ingredient in functional wellness beverages around the world," Coca-Cola spokesman Kent Landers said in an emailed statement to Bloomberg News.'
Looking at why there is so much money being wagered on the cannabis beverage partnerships, the numbers in the industry tell the story. For example looking at the U.S. market alone, New Frontier Data says, "We forecast the legal cannabis market to grow to $25 billion by 2025 with a compound annual growth rate of 14.7%". It's no surprise then that the beer industry wants in when US Beer Sales Exceed $34 Billion in 2017. IRI Worldwide also notes in its report that "Through December 31, U.S. beer volume sales decreased 0.4 percent while total beer dollar sales increased 1.2 percent."
Looking at opportunities, both in the U.S and now in Canada, Ryan Fishoff, CEO of American Premium Water Corporation (OTC: HIPH) has ambitious plans for his cannabis beverage brand.
American Premium Water (OTC: HIPH) just announced on October 17th, "It has created a prototype tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-infused beverage utilizing the Company's hydro-nano technology, and that it is engaged in discussions with Canadian distributors and U.S. dispensaries. Upon official launch, American Premium expects to offer the first hydro-nano-infused THC beverage on the market."
From the news - "With the legalization of cannabis in Canada, the Company is actively pursuing distribution agreements for both of its beverages in the Canadian market. The Company is also pursuing product distribution in U.S. states where Cannabis is legal, and is in discussions with dispensaries in California, Colorado, and Nevada."
"Legalization in Canada and the development of our second beverage provides the opportunity for a distribution channel that not many of our competitors have. Additionally, we have a great geographic advantage in the U.S. I am based in New York City, our Chairman is located in Miami, and our headquarters are in Los Angeles - meaning we have 'boots on the ground' footholds in the country's largest and most visible markets. With the addition of the THC prototype, we are going to exploit this advantage and ramp up our marketing activities in these regions. An example of something that I have in mind is doing a pop up with MedMen's New York location. Doing a pop up with them (MedMen) would be an example of the type of marketing events that we intend to rollout in the coming months to take advantage of our geographic advantage. Over the ensuing weeks, I will share in more detail our wholesale distribution strategy for both the CBD and THC beverages," stated Fishoff.
Following his news, one of American Premium Water distributors SinglePoint Inc., announced a successful first week of sales of the newly listed product, Lalpina CBD Water.
Also entering the THC beverage market, Lagunitas Brewing Company, a subsidiary of Heineken International, announced in late June its launch of Hi-Fi Hops. "This IPA-inspired sparkling water is made using everything Lagunitas knows about hops and is infused with THC and/or CBD (depending on your vibe). This new beverage collaboration with AbsoluteXtracts is yet another example of Lagunitas' creativity at the intersection of culture, marijuana and craft beer, and marks the first time a major brewery has successfully and legally been represented in the THC-infused beverage space. At its core, Hi-Fi Hops is inspired by our IPA, tastes as refreshing as water (yeah, no calories or carbs!) and gives you the chill of sun-grown cannabis from AbsoluteXtracts, a CannaCraft brand."
"Hi-Fi Hops is not the first chapter in the love affair between cannabis and Lagunitas, but it is one of the most exciting," said Maria Stipp, CEO of Lagunitas Brewing Company. "The idea of being a part of a no-calorie beverage infused with cannabis seemed like a perfect next step in our product innovation, and a natural way to marry our past with our future."
And the beverage deals continued to flow; On August 1st, Molson Coors Canada, the Canadian business unit of Molson Coors Brewing Company and Canadian cannabis producer, The Hydropothecary Corporation (TSX: HEXO.TO) announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement to form a joint venture to pursue opportunities to develop non-alcoholic, cannabis-infused beverages for the Canadian market following legalization.
From the Molson news - "Canada is breaking new ground in the cannabis sector and, as one of the country's leading beverage companies, Molson Coors Canada has a unique opportunity to participate in this exciting and rapidly expanding consumer segment. This new venture is consistent with our growth strategy and our commitment to being First Choice for Consumers and Customers by ensuring that Canadians have access to high-quality products that meet their evolving drinking preferences," said Frederic Landtmeters, President and CEO of Molson Coors Canada. "While we remain a beer business at our core, we are excited to create a separate new venture with a trusted partner that will be a market leader in offering Canadian consumers new experiences with quality, reliable and consistent non-alcoholic, cannabis-infused beverages. We look forward to partnering with HEXO, a recognized leader in the medical cannabis space in Canada that will bring robust production capacity, a track record of innovation, and, most importantly, shared values when it comes to doing business the right way and earning the trust of consumers."
How will the cannabis beverage marriage play out in Canada? According to an article on CBC, "Canadians could soon be spending more on recreational cannabis than they do on liquor, if a report from a major bank is to be believed. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce calculated in a report this week that in the next two years, Canadians will consume 800,000 kilograms of cannabis, the vast majority of which will be for recreational use."
So the marriage of cannabis and beverages combined will make a significant splash in Canada and globally as it rolls out. Cheers to that!

New York, NY and Delta, BC - October 22, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leader in investor news and research in leading sectors including tech, releases a sector snapshot looking at recent news and developments in Artificial Intelligence.
It's probably fast becoming a cliché to say that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the future but with an array of companies rapidly adopting variants of the technology, and market research concluding that serious benefits accrue from embracing it, investors may be realizing more and more that it is a sector to watch.
PricewaterhouseCoopers' (PwC) global AI study, "Sizing the prize", details insights and projections of the value AI could bring to business as the technology develops. The research indicates that global GDP could increase by 14 percent, or $15.7 trillion -"more than the current output of China and India combined" - by 2030 as a result of AI. "Of this, $6.6 trillion is likely to come from increased productivity and $9.1 trillion is likely to come from consumption- side effects."  The report also stresses the need for "strategic investment" to make this growth possible and details how encompassing the technology will be in everyday life.
"From the personal assistants in our mobile phones, to the profiling, customisation, and cyber protection that lie behind more and more of our commercial interactions, AI touches almost every aspect of our lives. And it's only just getting started."
The data and projections of the PwC report are borne out well by a recent press release of American tech company, NVIDIA Corp (NasdaqGS:NVDA). In the week leading up to the release, Swedish automobile maker Volvo chose NVIDIA's DRIVE AGX Xavier platform, an "open scalable platform for autonomous driving," to be incorporated in its next-generation automated cars. In the same period, American multinational computer technology corporation Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) announced that it "is the first public cloud provider to support the NVIDIA HGX-2TM platform on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure".
"NVIDIA's continued product launches in the computing segment, as well as increasing demand for its AI-driven graphics chips and technologies, are expected to aid the company."
Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB:GOPH) has taken the route of designing their own Avant! AI System to run their technologies, which include their GEO tracking system, autonomous machines, surveillance/military/security drones. The company announced on Oct 16 the limited access release of their web-based Avant! System at www.avant-ai.com, which is further outlined in a recent introductory video.
 

"We are proud to introduce a public access to our Avant! AI engine," said Dr. Danny Rittman, Gopher's Chief Technology Officer. "Although we are only providing limited access to an initial phase of Avant!, the public can get a feel for the system's key strength. One of our major Avant! innovations is the use of an advanced semantic segmentation system that enables Avant! to identify visual objects.  This allows understanding of an image down to the pixel level. A computer image can now be understood by our pixel analytics algorithm. We believe this will be crucial for applications such as autonomous driving, security drone operation and even computer assisted medical procedures."
Dr. Rittman continued, "The next unique aspect of the Avant! system is the AI decision-making process.  Avant! has the capability to predict scenarios based on analytics and statistical data. Our goal is to open a whole world of possibilities to integrate Avant! within human interface applications which could include customer services, chat support, financial advice and in the future, medical advices. Every decision taken within Avanti! is supervised by a cognitive deep-learning system for error capturing, which makes it safe and reliable. Another of the remarkable key elements in Avanti! is its Artificial Neural Network (or ANN). This is an information processing paradigm that is inspired by the way biological systems, such as the brain, process information. An ANN is configured for a specific application such as pattern recognition or data classification through a learning process. Avant!"
Amazon's (NasdaqGS:AMZN) recent partnership with Snap Inc.'s (NYSE:SNAP) Snapchat will enable "visual search shopping" using object-recognition AI technology, which could drastically alter the way people shop in the near future. The Snap website explains the ease of the process:
"Simply point your Snapchat camera at a physical product or barcode, and press and hold on the camera screen to get started.
When the item or barcode is recognized, an Amazon card will appear on-screen, surfacing a link for that product or similar ones available on Amazon. Tap your selection to visit the Amazon App (if you have it installed on your phone) or Amazon.com, where you can complete your purchase or keep browsing."
Cliché or not, expect to see the hype around AI continue to become more of a reality. Whether it is discreetly powering tech like NVIDIA's recent adoptions, governing Gopher's Internet-of-Things and mobile technology, or explicitly altering the way people shop on Amazon, AI is already making a significant impact on the market and all indicators are that this will only accelerate.
