Stocks discussed: (NYSE:JPM) (NasdaqGS:MARA) (TSXV:DMGI) (CSE:NC)

For today’s Crypto Corner we find Bitcoin (BTC) in roughly the same spot as yesterday, trading for about $32,250 according to data from CoinMarketCap. Bitcoin spent the last 24 hours more or less oscillating between a low of about $30,200 and a peak of around $32,850. Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the CEO of crypto exchange giant Binance, tweeted yesterday that Binance had seen an all-time high of “$80+ billion in trading volume in the last 24 hrs,” before adding that the exchange had experienced scaling issues but “will fix them as quickly as [they] can.” He said in a subsequent tweet:

“To put this in perspective, from Nov 15, 2017 to Dec 15, 2017, the month leading up to the ATH in 2017, @Binance did $20 billion in trading volume in 1 month. And we were the largest with those volumes back then.”

Bloomberg reports that strategists from JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) say that Bitcoin “has the potential to reach $146,000 in the long term as it competes with gold as an asset class.” They went on to say:

“A crowding out of gold as an ‘alternative’ currency implies big upside for Bitcoin over the long term. A convergence in volatilities between Bitcoin and gold is unlikely to happen quickly and is in our mind a multiyear process. This implies that the above-$146,000 theoretical Bitcoin price target should be considered as a long-term target, and thus an unsustainable price target for this year.”

Marathon Patent Group, Inc. (NasdaqGS:MARA) has entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding with DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (TSXV:DMGI) to form the Digital Currency Miners of North America (DCMNA), a “a U.S.-based non-profit entity whose mission is to create a better mining environment for North American miners, to help improve their financial performance, and to create North America’s first cooperative mining pool.” The press release outlines benefits of the pool as being profit sharing, increased transparency, and lobbying efforts. Marathon’s chairman and CEO, Merrick Okamoto, said:

“To date, companies such as ours have relied on pools primarily based in Asia to connect to the Bitcoin network, and we have been frustrated by the lack of transparency and audited data. Marathon has been a leader both in terms of market capitalization and also in terms of lobbying regulators on behalf of our industry, and we look forward to working diligently to build the capabilities of DCMNA on behalf of our mining partners and DCMNA’s new members.”

Crypto payments firm NetCents Technology Inc. (CSE:NC) has announced an expansion of its product offering with the addition of interest bearing crypto accounts on its platform. Clayton Moore, NetCents CEO, said:

"The pandemic has really demonstrated how there are 80 million households that are unbanked in North America, and that the current financial system isn't focused [on] providing solutions to [the] masses, they are maximizing revenue by focusing on the rich. Paying interest on deposits is something that lean companies like NetCents [are] well suited to offer."

#AI #Health #Stock News: GBT Tokenize (OTCPINK: $GTCH) is Developing Advanced Computational Geometry Methods

#AI #Health #Stock News: GBT Tokenize (OTCPINK: $GTCH) is Developing Advanced Computational Geometry Methods

San Diego, CA, January 5, 2021 – (Investorideas.com Newswire) GBT Technologies Inc. (OTCPINK: GTCH) ("GBT”, or the “Company”), announced that GBT Tokenize (“GBT/Tokenize) is developing new methods for health analysis based on its Kirlian Electrophotography research. GBT/Toeknize is developing a set of methods and algorithms to analyze imaging made by Kirlian Electrophotography.

Read this news, featuring GTCH in full at https://www.investorideas.com/CO/GOPH/news/2021/01051Computational-Geometry-Methods.asp

Kirlian photography introduces a series of techniques that are based on the phenomenon known as electrical coronal discharge. Images that are produced using these techniques present a colorful so-called aura. Although not scientifically proven, some believe that these images can be interpreted to analyze health conditions. GBT/Tokenize reiterates that the claim that a medical conclusion can be reached based on analysis of the image (whether through AI or in person) has not been scientifically established. GBT/Tokenize is performing open research from a technological point of view, which cannot be considered medical research or portrayed to be as such.

It is believed by some that the Kirlian imaging process is made by placing an object on a photographic plate that is connected to a source of high-voltage current. A more modern way is using low voltage hand and head sensors to produce visual, interactive data that may represent health energy information. Kirlian imaging can produce organs energetic visualization such as graphical protuberances, halos, and discharge patterns, which can be analyzed by computer program to identify unique patterns. GBT is now developing a set of computational geometry algorithms targeted to be the base for a further AI analysis. Computational geometry is a mathematical field that involves the design, analysis and implementation of efficient algorithms for solving geometric problems. Advanced applications that typically use computational geometry methods are pattern recognition, computer vision, animation and graphics, (CAD) computer-aided design, robotics, and similar especially when require real-time speeds. We are developing a private, derived set of algorithms in order to classify the combinatorial and numerical computational geometry of Kirlian images. Each set is designed to identify, analyze and categorize images according to its parametric surfaces and curves, for example, spline curves and Bezier curves. This information will be fed to a machine learning program. Our algorithms are identifying and evaluating the image's surfaces and parts of surfaces from particular viewing angles in order to categorize and classify anomalies.

"Kirlian imaging of living tissue may exhibit energy levels that can be visualized as auras. We are now developing a set of geometrical computation methods and algorithms to graphically analyze these images further feeding the data into our machine learning programs. The target is to reach consistent and reliable conclusions with respect to the analysis of the image and any anomalies. Computational geometry is a field of computer science that is aimed to solve problems stated in terms of geometry. Here we are implementing these techniques for Kirilian images to find unique patterns. The development of these geometrical algorithms is part of our image processing long term plan and will be further used during next year for AI imaging analytics. For example, we develop a specific version of Scanline method which is an algorithm that typically works on a row-by-row basis rather pixel-by-pixel basis. We created a new flow to identify critical vertexes only and then analyze pixel-by-pixel. This enables light speed image analysis in order to search and classify image's points of interest. The main advantage of our version is that the sorting of crucial vertices only, is done in parallel with the normal scan, significantly shortening the overall scan time and reducing objects-of-interest detection time. We develop plane sweep based algorithms that works via a conceptual sweep line to analyze Kirilian images as an infrastructure for our AI program. The main idea is to scan across the image, stopping at object of interest vertexes (points) to identify patterns and consistencies. These geometric operations will become geometric objects that will intersect with others to form a human organ aura. By looking for full and partial similarities, repetitions, or atypical auras patterns, our goal is to be able to detect dynamic images changes in time. In addition, another set of computational geometry algorithms will search object's boundaries in order to detect specific patterns and finding images correlations. The geometrical computation engine will be the first step to extract the base data from the Kirilian images and later processed by the AI engine. "

Today’s podcast overview/transcript:

Good afternoon and welcome to another episode of Investorideas.com "Potcast" featuring cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

In today’s podcast we will be taking a quick look back at 2020 and the year’s main highlights.

Sales Growth:

While COVID-19 has had a significantly negative impact on most industries this year, the cannabis sector has seen substantial sales growth month over month as the year has progressed. This can be attributed to many factors related to COVID measures as well as to the success and growth of the industry itself.

One of the first contributing factors that helped sales growth this year was the very different place the entire industry was at the start of 2020 when compared to years previous. Supply issues were a massive factor contributing to lower sales in 2018 and 2019 in Canada and in the US, multi-state operators were still in the process and gaining the footing and building out their infrastructure. Looking at the start of 2020 we saw in Canada that many of the large scale producers who struggled in the first two years finally hit their stride as far as product supply levels and quality and consistency of their products. We also began to see the development of a premium bud segment in the industry through partnerships with smaller niche cultivators and the Cannabis 2.0 products that had been in the wing for months finally started hitting retail shelves. The retail development within Canada was also in a much more stable and built out position starting in 2020 than in other years with private retail stores in BC and Ontario, the two most populous provinces, seeing massive growth.

With the industry being in a much better starting position entering 2020, the next big factor to impact sales was obviously COVID-19 and lockdowns.

In Canada with so many people stuck at home due to lockdown procedures and mahy receiving government aid checks from being out of the work, we saw a massive spike in Cannabis usage and sales as many who were on the fence socially about this substance in years previous changed their perception.

This was also massively aided by Cannabis businesses being deemed essential in both the US and Canada as well as other parts of the world where legal cannabis operations are in place. This change from Illegal to essential brought many new consumers to the market and has helped remove some of the long standing stigma surrounding the industry.

These contributing factors which aided to sales gave many companies in the industry the much needed revenue boost they had been waiting for and allowed many companies the time and financial resources to begin expansion and innovation.

Industry Innovation:

Increased sales and revenues in many ways helped stabilize what was previously a very unstable industry, which allowed many to use the time to innovate and expand.

We saw a plethora of Cannabis 2.0 products that had been stuck in development hell for months finally begin hitting shelves and as more products hit retail stores we saw competitors continue to innovate and adapt their products to consumers needs as the year progressed.

Not only did many companies innovate with regards to their products but we also saw many retailers build out their online capabilities and begin offering delivery and cubside services, where regulators allowed, which again helped increase their customer share and overall sales.

Now most of the US and Canadian cannabis retail sector offers online sales, delivery or curbside pickup as well as touchless transactions and interactive menus, all features that had been slowly developing over the last two years but suddenly saw a massive jump in 2020 due to the necessity for innovation COVID created.

This also translated to the underserved medical community who saw massive growth in Telemedicine usage globally and in medical cannabis countries, there were serious adjustments to the overall medical industry which now allows for easier access to cannabis medication, delivery and curbside pick up options, telemedicine prescription and information access as well as a massive growth in product selection and inventory.

Continued Legalization and Social Acceptance:

While I had already mentioned the massive social change created from Cannabis businesses being deemed essential this year, there was also another huge shift in the US, as well as globally towards cannabis reform policy and general drug reform policy.

This year saw many new states in the US vote for cannabis reform such as New Jersey, Montanna, Arizona and South Dakota, which all voted in favor of cannabis reform. We also saw states like Oregan set new drug policy precedent in the US by voting in favor of decriminalizing virtually all drugs and legalizing medicinal psilocybin.

On a global scale we saw more countries in South America extend or improve their cannabis drug policies in favour of import and export opportunities and increased medical availability. One of the largest holdouts as well as probably one of the largest potential markets, Mexico looks to have some sort of medical cannabis program in place in 2021, though regulatory progress has been slow so far. Even in South East Asia we have seen a growing leniency towards CBD products with some countries beginning the process of implementing a medical cannabis program, again most likely in 2021 or 2022.

In the EU, while we haven’t seen any major changes to the legal landscape, 2020 did help continue to build out the EU infrastructure for the medical and CBD industry and we have seen massive growth when it comes to import and export markets.

What’s Next?

Looking ahead at 2021 and beyond there's a lot of hype and expectation surrounding the cannabis industry once again. One of the best things to come out of 2020 has been increased investor confidence and interest in this industry that saw a large investment slump since legalization in Canada in 2018. Many of the the industries largest companies are now trading back up at their regular prices and many smaller companies have had their best trading year to date.

This increase in investor and consumer confidence in the industry should help push some of the last needed advancements in regulation and industry reform to boost the cannabis industry into the same social and societal acceptance of alcohol, if not allowing it surpass alcohol due to alcohol's many negative health impacts.

Looking at the US in 2021 we can definitely expect more speculation and hype surrounding the idea of either Safe Banking Access or decriminalization of cannabis, at least one of these outcomes seems likely this year. We have seen many companies in both the US and Canada preparing for the merging of markets and with the implementation of at least Safe Banking Access a floodgate of investor capital becomes available to US based cannabis companies.

Looking at Canada, there is expectation of regulatory reform surrounding delivery access in some provinces, private retail expansion as well a hopeful reevaluation of dosage and packaging restrictions, all of which would greatly benefit overall industry.

Looking globally and at the industry as a whole, South American expansion of both medical and recreational markets seems inevitable as does expansion of the EU recreational market. There is a lot of excitement surrounding South East Asian markets establishing medical markets though this looks to be further out than 2021, though CBD products are very much in play. Finally we have seen a lot of infrastructure build out in Israel and parts of Africa, both of which could have massive impacts on the global pricing of Cannabis and CBD products as well as the import and export markets.
