#Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Back in the Headlines Thanks to #JPMCoin; (CSE: $LLT.C) (OTC: $LLNKF) (TSXV: $HIVE.V) (OTCQX: $HVBTF) (TSXV: $GLXY.V) (NASDAQ: $RIOT)

Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 22, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering blockchain and cryptocurrency issues a special edition of the Crypto Corner looking at the recent run in cryptocurrencies and blockchain stocks following recent news of the JPM Coin.

With a heart-stopping 180^o turn on February 14^th, J.P. Morgan  became the first US bank to create and successfully test a digital coin representing a fiat currency. The JPM Coin will use blockchain-based technology, enabling the instantaneous transfer of payments between institutional accounts.

Adding fuel to the fire, in a recent interview at the IBM Think 2019 conference, Jesse Lund (VP of Blockchain and Digital Currencies for IBM) said IBM has several “letters of intent” with major banks to release digital currencies.

From finance to supply chain, healthcare, real estate, smart contracts, IoT and more, the applications for blockchain ledger technology seem endless.

Blockchaintechnologies.com recently reported, “Huge tech companies like IBM have already seen the potential for blockchain supply chain management and have web 3.0 solutions in development or pilot program stages.”

Litelink Technologies Inc. (CSE: LLT) (OTC: LLNKF) is also aiming to take logistics to a whole new level. “Our platforms use the power of blockchain, artificial intelligence and the rich features in the Amazon Cloud to change the way the world works in logistics, digital wallets & payment solutions.”

Litelink’s Shift product uses blockchain to track shipments, handle invoicing, payments and reviews and ratings.  For audit and dispute resolution, their blockchain tech records the time and location of arrival at the location/gate and dock via GPS location data, records the receipt of the signed BOL, as well as runs AI algorithms to determine whether there are any exception conditions present at delivery. The proprietary Adversarial Permissioned Blockchain platform, based on JP Morgan’s platform, can also provide an early warning for potential future disputes, allowing the parties to proactively seek solutions rather than pointing fingers later.

The company recently announced an update on the progress and planned the rollout of its 1SHIFT Logistics platform.

Hive Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSXV:HIVE.V) (OTCQX:HVBTF) just announced up-listing to the OTCQX. "Upgrading to the OTCQX is an important event for the Company," said Frank Holmes, Interim Executive Chairman. "The OTCQX equips HIVE with better liquidity and exposure for existing and future US investors as we continue our long-term strategy to enhance shareholder value. HIVE is an industry leader among publicly traded blockchain infrastructure companies and trading on OTCQX in the US provides investors with an opportunity to participate in the long-term potential of blockchain and to invest in a stock that is highly correlated to the price movements of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum." 

Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. (TSXV: GLXY), a diversified asset management firm dedicated to the digital assets and blockchain technology industry recently reported preliminary assets under management of $416.5 million as of January 31, 2019, inclusive of committed capital in a closed-end vehicle.

The Company says, “Our mission is to stand behind companies that we believe will be successful in helping to accelerate and promote the institutional adoption of blockchain technology and digital assets.”

Riot Blockchain, Inc. (NasdaqCM:RIOT), a company that says its focus is on Bitcoin and general blockchain technology has been one of the biggest movers in the recent run.  Trying to regain investor confidence, earlier this month the company announced its Board of Directors is implementing leadership and governance structure changes. Jeff McGonegal is being named Chief Executive Officer, replacing departing Chris Ensey, who had joined the Company in January 2018 as its Chief Operating Officer and had been appointed interim Chief Executive Officer, in September 2018. Jeffrey Vormittag, Chief Operating Officer of the Company's subsidiary, Riot Blockchain Canada Inc. will also be leaving the company.

“Riot Blockchain's Board of Directors is very focused on delivering value for the Company's shareholders and believes that a new streamlined leadership structure is critical to achieving success, while also achieving cost reductions.”

It appears the recent complacency in the sector has shifted to a new sense of optimism and for now, the trend is the friend in blockchain stocks.

#Cybersecurity Experts Roger Cressey and Andrew Douthwaite discuss changing landscape of security; (CSE: $VAI.C) (OTC: $VTRL) (NYSE: $BAH) (NASDAQ: $CHKP) (NYSE: $ACN)

#Cybersecurity Experts Roger Cressey and Andrew Douthwaite discuss changing landscape of security; (CSE: $VAI.C) (OTC: $VTRL) (NYSE: $BAH) (NASDAQ: $CHKP) (NYSE: $ACN)

Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 22, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering defense and security stocks issues a snapshot looking at the current cybersecurity landscape and how experts and service providers are shifting companies into a new era of security; beyond a "bigger wall" mindset.

Read this in full at https://www.investorideas.com/news/2019/defense/02222Cybersecurity-RogerCressey-AndrewDouthwaite.asp

Investor Ideas turned to cybersecurity expert Roger Cressey at Liberty Group Ventures, LLC for insight into the sector and what is needed to address current and future threats.  Cressey was formerly with Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH), Good Harbor Consulting, held senior cyber security and counterterrorism positions in the Clinton and Bush Administrations and was an on-air counterterrorism analyst with NBC News.

Cressey said, “We have been very slow on understanding how to integrate cybersecurity into our overall business operations.” 

Listen to full interview with Roger Cressey:

https://www.investorideas.com/audio/companies/021819-RogerCressey.asp

According to recent commentary from Consulting.US, “The interest in cybersecurity consultancy is an international phenomenon. Saudi Arabia in June entered into an agreement with Booz Allen Hamilton, which will see the American consulting firm train Saudi cybersecurity experts. In a report that analyzed 158 UK-based cybersecurity start-ups, consulting firm Wavestone found that demand for cybersecurity services rose steeply in 2018.“

VirtualArmour International Inc. (CSE:VAI) (OTC:VTLR), a global cybersecurity and managed services provider, is gearing up to launch a new version of their proprietary CloudCastr client portal and prevention platform, and company CTO, Andrew Douthwaite explains how regulation is healthy for promoting good security.

“The more regulation the better, so we can keep this drive toward good security going forward,” he said.

“One way VirtualArmour has been able to keep clients in the loop with regard to security risks and data, is their Cloudcastr client portal, a proprietary monitoring and visualization platform.”

Douthwaite explained that the platform provides “…an overview of current threats that are happening, all of the services that we’re offering to that customer, access to our managed service engineers and has other functionalities such as secure file share.”

Douthwaite said that the platform is being updated all the time and that clients can anticipate a 2.0 which will boast even more capabilities.

“Cloudcastr has been continually developed from there, adding new features all the time,” he said. “And we’re going for a new big launch, which is being developed…of Cloudcastr 2.0. It will include a lot of new features, such as reporting, invoicing and some more predictability pieces around the security environment.”

According to Accenture (NYSE: ACN), one of the largest cyber consultancy firms, the average cost of malware attack spending and the top cost to companies is $2.4 million and the average time to resolve a malicious insiders attack is 50 days.  Their approach; historically, the energy spent on securing data has been focused on building a better “wall.” It’s an approach that no longer works in today’s perimeter-less world where some seven billion connected devices (80 billion by 2025*) have opened a liquid stream of data vulnerable to attack.

“It is time to shift our security posture to focus on a liquid approach to cybersecurity - where strong, immutable identities, hardened data and an ever-changing polymorphic attack surface enable us to move beyond cyber resilience to a constant state of business operations.”

Recent breaking news in the sector; Infocyte, a cybersecurity company focused on proactive threat detection and incident response and Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:CHKP), a leading provider of cyber security solutions globally, said they are partnering to deliver faster threat detection and incident response services on compromised hosts. As part of the partnership, Infocyte's platform, Infocyte HUNT will be integrated with Check Point's suite of advanced services. Both companies will share threat intelligence to improve their threat detection and incident response capabilities.

Check Point's recent Cyber Attack Trends Report highlights the growing concern around advanced threats. New forms of malware, cryptominers, ransomware and other cyber-attacks continue to show alarming rates of success across cloud, traditional, and hybrid networks. As cyber-attacks evolve, they become better at penetrating deep into IT networks and hiding from traditional detection technologies. In an effort to fight back, companies are adopting proactive practices like post-breach threat detection and remediation solutions that complement their existing cyber security defenses.

Turning back to how Roger Cressey sees the landscape, he said, “I do think things are starting to evolve and I think there is a higher level of awareness, especially in corporations, that I have not seen in a number of years and that’s encouraging.”

#BioelectronicMedicine; The Future for Medicine: (NASDAQ: $BSGM) (NASDAQ: $NVTR) (NYSE: $BSX) (NASDAQ: $IRTC)

#BioelectronicMedicine; The Future for Medicine: (NASDAQ: $BSGM) (NASDAQ: $NVTR) (NYSE: $BSX) (NASDAQ: $IRTC)

Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 22, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering medical technology and healthcare stocks releases a snapshot looking at the rapid advancements happening in the med tech sector and how many of these "far off" projects are now on the verge of reality.

According to IDTechEx “The market for bioelectronic medicine will exceed $60 billion by 2029.” They explain Bioelectronic medicine, or electroceuticals, is the use of electrical stimulation to treat diseases of the human body in ways that current pharmaceutical interventions cannot.

BioSig Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: BSGM), a medical device company developing a proprietary biomedical signal processing platform designed to address an unmet technology need for the electrophysiology (EP) marketplace, recently announced that the Company successfully conducted the first patient cases using PURE EP™ System, its FDA approved proprietary signal acquisition and processing technology. The first commercial use of the System was completed at the Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute (“TCAI”) in Austin, TX.

Read this in full at https://www.investorideas.com/news/2019/biotech/02221Stocks-BioelectronicMedicine.asp

“With the use of the PURE EP™ System, I was able to identify cardiac signals which were previously undetectable to me. I believe that the PURE EP™ System could change diagnostic and treatment strategies of arrhythmias, leading to more successful outcomes,” commented Dr. Andrea Natale, who conducted the studies.

The PURE EP™ System was used during standard studies on patients with persistent atrial fibrillation and conducted in parallel with Abbott’s EnSite Precision™ and Biosense Webster’s (Johnson & Johnson) CARTO™ cardiac mapping systems. The goal of the first commercial use of the technology was aimed at validating the System’s key value proposition elements and report on the overall user experience during the procedure.

Kenneth L. Londoner, Chairman and CEO of BioSig Technologies stated, “We are well positioned to deliver on our strategic goals for 2019 and look forward to the expansion of our evaluation efforts in the coming months.”

The BioSig Technologies system will sell for $250,000 each, in addition to a $100,000 software license.

Nuvectra Corporation (NASDAQ: NVTR), a medical device company dedicated to neuromodulation, recently announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has advised that its review of the Company’s pre-market approval (PMA) application for its Virtis Sacral Neuromodulation (SNM) system has been extended beyond the expiration of the FDA’s 180-day review period.

This small delay for the company will most likely be overshadowed by the release of its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2018 on Thursday, February 28, 2019 after market close.

Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX) has reported their results for Q4 and the full year of 2018, in which they generated sales of $2.561 billion during Q4, representing growth of 6.3 percent on a reported basis, 8.2 percent on an operational basis and 7.0 percent on an organic basis, all compared to the prior year period.

For the full year 2018, the company generated sales of $9.823 billion, which represents growth of 8.6 percent on a reported basis, 8.0 percent on an operational basis and 7.2 percent on an organic basis, all compared to the prior year period.

Commenting on their earnings, Chairman and CEO Mike Mahoney said, "Meaningful innovation and focused execution helped us deliver strong financial results in 2018. We remain driven by the opportunity to help more patients with our life-changing technologies, including a robust long-term pipeline of new devices and therapies."

iRhythm Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: IRTC) technology combines wearable biosensor devices worn for up to 14 days and cloud-based data analytics with powerful proprietary algorithms that distill data from millions of heartbeats into clinically actionable information. The company believes improvements in arrhythmia detection and characterization have the potential to change clinical management of patients.

Rhythm just reported financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2018.

Companies with innovative products now being approved, tested, and brought to market are not only showing great financial growth for their shareholders but are also changing lives and adding new depths to the medical community. These innovations in medical technology are showing us that the future of healthcare is already here.
