Listen to the podcast:



Today’s podcast overview/transcript:
Good afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com “potcast” looking at cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from experts and industry leaders.

Today we are looking at announcements from Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC), SLANG Worldwide Inc. (CSE: SLNG), Lifestyle Delivery Systems Inc. (CSE: LDS), (OTCQX: LDSYF) and Blissco Cannabis Corp. (CSE: BLIS) (OTCQB: HSTRF).

But first, with a total of 33 states so far approving medical marijuana, for the first time ever, the Kentucky legislative panel has advanced a medical marijuana bill.

The bill being forwarded in Kentucky has been a while in the making and would allow doctors to prescribe marijuana to treat certain medical conditions. The bill has now officially passed out of a state legislative panel and still has a fair way to go yet, but this news is a step in the right direction.

Canopy Growth Corporation today announced that the Company is to join the S&P/TSX 60 Index, achieving another public market "first" for the cannabis industry.

"Being added to the S&P/TSX 60 Index marks another major accomplishment for our company, team, and shareholders," said Bruce Linton, Founder, Chairman & Co-CEO.  "First traded on the TSX Venture Exchange on April 4, 2014, I cannot think of a better way to celebrate our 5th year anniversary as a publicly traded company, than being added to the TSX's large-cap index."
         
The addition of the Company to the S&P/TSX 60 Index will be effective prior to the commencement of trading on April 18, 2019.

SLANG Worldwide Inc., a global cannabis consumer packaged goods company, today announced that it has filed its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.  The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").  All figures are stated in Canadian dollars.

SLANG Worldwide CEO Peter Miller said, "SLANG Worldwide's mission is to build a portfolio of leading cannabis consumer products and an extensive distribution network to sell our products. In 2018, we laid the foundational building blocks with SLANG's acquisitions of Organa Brands and Firefly, which were completed in January 2019. Today we are a different company: SLANG is in a position of strength with a diverse portfolio of high performing cannabis brands distributed in over 2,600 stores across 11 US states, Puerto Rico, Canada and Jamaica. We plan to leverage our brand, distribution and partnership strengths and expect rapid growth and scale in the months to come."

Lifestyle Delivery Systems Inc. announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, CSPA Group, Inc., entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with MBioTeQ, LLC to supply a minimum of 120 liters of raw distillate per month.

Pursuant to the MOU, CSPA Group, Inc. will provide MBioTeQ with a minimum 120 liters of 85% THC raw distillate oil per month. CSPA Group will be responsible for securing the biomass, testing the distillate throughout the manufacturing process until it is ready for pick up by MBioTeQ.  The price per liter may vary in the event of fluctuations in California's biomass inventory and prices of raw material increase. This structure permits profitability in an uncertain market.

Casey Fenwick, President of LDS, stated, "This is a great starting point for CSPA and MBioTeQ.  We have already started procuring biomass for this contract and, once we have established a steady supply chain, it may pave the way for several other projects CSPA can work on with MBioTeQ."

Blissco Cannabis Corp.,a Canadian wellness cannabis brand based in British Columbia, a licensed processor, and producer of premium dried cannabis and cannabis oil and a licensed distributor of dried cannabis products, announced that it has signed a distribution and supply agreement with National Cannabis Distribution. National Cannabis Distribution is a Canadian company that distributes cannabis products and cannabis accessories with an initial distribution network established in Saskatchewan. The supply agreement with Blissco contains both whole dried flower and pre-rolled cannabis products with the option to include oils, extracts, edibles and topicals in the future.

“Saskatchewan has a private wholesale and private retail cannabis distribution model making it unique amongst Canadian provinces. Blissco is delighted to partner with National Cannabis Distribution as we are both aligned on the values of premium cannabis products, compliance and social responsibility," said Damian Kettlewell, Blissco CEO. “We are excited to make National Cannabis Distribution our partner in Saskatchewan for two years. Initially, we will provide them Blissco’s whole dried flower and pre-rolled cannabis products for distribution to their network of 15 stores in Saskatchewan. Later in 2019, we look forward to providing National Cannabis Distribution with Blissco’s full spectrum cannabis oil and extract products.”

April 12 Crypto Corner

Stocks discussed: (NYSE:GS) (NYSE:VMW)

CCN reports that Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) has no plans to open an institutional cryptocurrency trading desk, despite reports, such as one from Bloomberg in 2017, that suggest otherwise. During a hearing before the U.S. House of Representatives Financial Services Committee earlier this week, Goldman CEO David Solomon denied the rumours, saying:

“That Bloomberg article was not appropriate. Like others, we are watching, plus doing work to try and understand the cryptocurrency marketplace as it develops.”
“We have some clients that have certain functionality that we’ve engaged with on clearing physically-settled futures. But other than that, we never had plans to open a cryptocurrency desk.”
The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the largest business organization in the world which represents some 45 million business in 130 countries, has announced a collaboration with Singapore blockchain firm Perlin. The partnership will allow Perlin to facilitate blockchain adoption among all the businesses the ICC represents. John Denton AO, Secretary General of the ICC, commented:

“The ICC has always been committed to empowering our members to achieve the highest levels of corporate excellence and continuing innovation. In collaboration with Perlin, which leads the field in blockchain and distributed ledger development, we can help facilitate practical and truly disruptive transformation for businesses across every conceivable industry sector.”

Crypto exchange giant Binance has partnered with security firm CipherTrace to bolster their anti-money laundering (AML) compliance program, according to a blog post yesterday. Samuel Lim, Chief Compliance Officer of Binance, explained:

“The selection of CipherTrace as our on-chain security solution will augment our expansion drive and build greater trust among our users, regulators and financial institutions. This partnership will bolster our existing world-class AML compliance program and help us expand into new markets in the most compliant fashion.”

Fintech company Digital Asset has announced that it is working with VMware, Inc (NYSE:VMW) to integrate the former’s open source DAML smart contract language with the VMWare Blockchain platform. Michael DiPetrillo, Senior Director of Blockchain at VMware, said:

“DAML has been proven to be one of the few smart contract languages capable of modeling truly complex workflows at scale. VMware is delighted to be working together on customer deployments to layer VMware Blockchain alongside DAML. Customers demand choice of language execution environments from their blockchain and DAML adds a truly robust and enterprise-focused language set to a blockchain platform with multi-language support.”

Millennial Wants and Needs Powering up #Crypto Sectors (OTCQB: $INTV) (NASDAQ: $MARA) (OTCQX: $HVBTF) (OTCQX: $GBTC)

Millennial Wants and Needs Powering up #Crypto Sectors (OTCQB: $INTV) (NASDAQ: $MARA) (OTCQX: $HVBTF) (OTCQX: $GBTC)



Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – April 12, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering blockchain and cryptocurrency issues a special edition of the Crypto Corner looking at recent news and developments in the cryptocurrency sector.

Cryptocurrencies are experiencing a rise in price again, with Bitcoin reaching its 400 Millionth transaction recently. From a recent Independent article; “Around 350,000 transactions take place every day across its (meaning Bitcoin’s) decentralised blockchain, with many of these transactions currently passing through China where the majority of bitcoin mining operations are located, however this may soon be about to change. The country's economic planning agency announced this week that it is considering a ban on bitcoin mining – the process of generating new units of the cryptocurrency by providing the computing power needed to confirm transactions. If implemented, the ban would have a significant impact on the bitcoin network and potentially even the price of bitcoin, with analysts suggesting it could cause further price rises.”

"It's more likely to push bitcoin prices up than down," market analyst Mati Greenspan told The Independent this week. "The loss of cheap Chinese electricity would raise the mining cost, which is net positive on price."

This is good news for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well the US crypto-mining companies looking to fill the void China will leave. Integrated Ventures Inc. (OTCQB: INTV), a company engaged in digital currency mining operations, (both manufacturing equipment and selling mining rigs) as well as developing blockchain software, recently announced the execution of a Letter of Intent to acquire a fully permitted and currently idled, 80 MW natural gas-fired combined heat and power plant, located in Pennsylvania.

The Company intends to complete the restart of the Power Plant and to launch cryptocurrency operations within 4-5 months. The Company operations will focus on (i) mining using the Company’s owned mining rigs, (ii) hosting third-party mining rigs and (iii) operating a mining pool.


Steve Rubakh, CEO commented, “Cogeneration is a proven technology that produces 3 cents power, up to 75% increase in efficiency, delivers up to 70% in energy savings, up to 50% reduction in GHG emissions, eliminates reliance on local utilities, and thus provides a stable and reliable access to electricity. The Power Plant will generate electricity, at below market cost, which turns 100% of rigs that mine BTC, ETH and LTC profitable. Due to Power Plant's generation capacity of 80 MW, the Company will have an unmatched ability to grow the revenue streams by gradually scaling mining and hosting operations and by establishing synergistic partnerships with companies operating in the same space.”

HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSX.V:HIVE) (OTCQX:HVBTF), who recently  announced its results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2018, is also looking to fill the infrastructure gap in this industry as discussed in their financial results.

“The cryptocurrency ecosystem continues to undergo significant volatility amid continually evolving regulatory review and fluctuations in price,” said Frank Holmes, Interim Executive Chairman of HIVE. “However, HIVE has remained committed to deploying infrastructure assets and diversifying our business mix to commence mining of new coins. We continue to accumulate Ethereum and Ethereum Classic and in the third quarter began adding Bitcoin to our coin inventory. In the quarter we more than doubled our mining capacity, negotiated improved financial terms with our largest partner and added an additional 100 Petahashes (“PH”) of capacity at a significantly lower cost than prior deployments.”

A recent Bloomberg article discussed how bitcoin’s latest gains have helped boost the market, including Marathon Patent Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MARA), a digital asset technology company that mines cryptocurrencies with a focus on the blockchain ecosystem and the generation of digital assets, and is currently operating one mining facility in Quebec.

Marathon recently announced a four-for-one reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock, intended to bring the Company into compliance with the minimum average closing share price requirement for maintaining its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

According to a recent survey from eToro US, growing interest from millenials is also helping drive the price of crypto. “We’re seeing the beginning of a generational shift in trust from traditional stock exchanges to crypto exchanges,” says Guy Hirsch, Managing Director of eToro US.  “Younger investors’ experience with the stock market has seen a great deal of loss of trust, with the fall of Lehman Brothers because of irresponsible practices followed by the worst recession since the Great Depression. As more investors become educated in the benefits of the blockchain, we’ll continue to see this trend play out.”

Grayscale Investments, LLCa global leader in digital currency asset management released its 2018 Grayscale Digital Asset Investment Report, a comprehensive report that highlights investment activity across the Grayscale family of products in 2018, which very much aligned with the eToro survey results. Grayscale raised $359.5 million into its single-asset and diversified investment products, marking the strongest fundraising year in Grayscale's history and nearly three times more capital than was raised in 2017.

Bitcoin continued to be the most dominant digital currency for Grayscale investors. In the fourth quarter, 88% of all capital inflows went into Grayscale Bitcoin Trust™ (OTCQX: GBTC). Notably, institutional investors accounted for 66% of all new investment dollars in 2018, despite the broad-based price reduction across digital currencies.

All lab and field testing, including in both laboratory and outdoor conditions, was successful.

The testing included node-to-node, node-to-gateway. and multiple node hopping. The data was measured using electronic apparatus and visualized via mobile app. A wide variety of features and characteristics were tested, including power consumption, range, coverage area, signal quality and performance. The next step to be taken by Gopher in this process is to optimize its Alpha version in order to proceed to Beta.

"We are glad to announce the completion of our MESH system, Alpha version. The system has successfully passed all lab and field testing as scheduled with satisfactory results," commented Danny Rittman, Gopher's Chief Technology Officer. "The tests covered essential topics that included hardware and software to ensure high performance and reliable features and characteristics."

Mr. Rittman continued, "We used a mobile app to visualize results and to produce vital data like nodes/gateways range, GEO location and coverage area. The system was tested both outdoors and indoors. This data will be used to debug the Alpha version and initiate any changes or modifications that may be needed to produce a Beta version with the goal of ensuring commercial standards. We are already evaluating real-life projects to be a case study for our MESH system, which will use prototypes in real-life situations. The study will cover the system's GEO tracking, emergency alerts and further advanced capabilities."
