August 20 Crypto Corner

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:FB)

Crypto startup INX Limited is planning to raise $129.5 million USD in an IPO, according to a report from CoinDesk. The firm is domiciled in Gibraltar and filed a draft F-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) on Monday. This will be the first security token sale registered with the SEC. An excerpt from the Prospectus Summary outlines the company’s aims:

Our vision is to establish two trading platforms and a security token that provide regulatory clarity to the blockchain asset industry. We plan to achieve this by: (1) differentiating between security and non-security blockchain asset classes and providing trading opportunities for each class; (2) obtaining appropriate regulatory licenses and approvals, including money transmitter licenses, a U.S. broker-dealer license and subsequent registration as an ATS; (3) issuing our security token, the INX Token, and maintaining the INX Registry, which reflects a real time list of INX Token holders; (4) requiring that all INX Token holders comply with KYC/AML procedures; and (5) granting certain rights and benefits to the holders of INX Tokens.

When fully operational, we expect to offer professional traders and institutional investors trading platforms with established practices common in other regulated financial services markets, such as customary trading, clearing, and settlement procedures, regulatory compliance, capital and liquidity reserves and operational transparency.

CNN Business reports that Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, the founders of crypto exchange Gemini, have been in talks with Facebook (NasdaqGS:FB) to join the Libra Association. This may come as a surprise, considering the twins’ widely-reported legal battle with Facebook creator and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Cameron Winklevoss opined that crypto will be unavoidable in the future and that big tech firms are most likely considering its implementation in some capacity:

"I think there is a day in the future where we can't live without crypto, or imagine a world before crypto.”

"I think that internet companies have to have a crypto strategy, and I think a lot of them are thinking about their own coin projects. They're probably watching Libra and Facebook to see how that fares as they develop it.”

According to a state-owned English-language outlet, the People’s Republic of China is nearing a launch for its central bank digital currency (CBDC). Yang Dong, director of the Research Center of Finance Technology and Cyber Security at Renmin University of China, told the outlet that the CBDC was influenced by Facebook’s Libra project. An excerpt reads:

“It sparked discussions among Chinese financial regulators, driving the designer to rethink various models which can involve more non-governmental institutions in the CBDC development and issuance process.”

Amaten, Japan’s largest gift card exchange platform, is partnering with blockchain network provider aelf to transform “gift cards into digital assets that can be managed and exchanged on the blockchain”, according to a report from Verdict. Amaten chairman Tom Kanazawa commented:

“The current system and technology used for gift card is completely obsolete and dates all the way back to the mid 90s.

It has never evolved to match today’s digital world; it still suffers from basic fundamental shortcomings and is very inconvenient.

I believe that the gift card industry can be a perfect use case for blockchain. The two are a completely natural fit.”

#AI News: GBT Technologies (OTC PINK: $GOPHD) Successfully Completes AI #Robotic Research

#AI News: GBT Technologies (OTC PINK: $GOPHD) Successfully Completes AI #Robotic Research



Santa Monica, CA - August 20, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) GBT Technologies Inc. (OTC PINK: GOPHD) ("GBT", or the "Company"), a company specializing in the development of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled networking and tracking technologies, including its GopherInsight™ global mesh network technology platform for both mobile and fixed solutions, is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed another milestone in its AI development.

In this milestone, using a complex robot, GBT has achieved the goal of a "self-learning" machine. Typical machine learning needs humans to tell it how to make accurate predictions using specific data that it is given. GBT's Avant! AI System is designed to function like a human brain using deep learning algorithms, based on RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) to process the information resulting in self-learning without specific direction from humans.

In a successful proof of concept trial, GBT's Avant! AI technology was implemented in a robot to enable it to process information and reach conclusions on its own (making it a self-learning system). This is the first step in GBT's Avant! AI implementation to enable an autonomous machine. With further development, GBT believes it can be implemented in any type of robotic, unmanned or automated system with the goal of enabling a wide variety of intelligent applications in our daily lives.


"We call this stage the self-learning stage. Here, we successfully gave a complex machine the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. The robot can be trained to perform tasks. It will learn from its performance in order to improve on it over time, exactly as a human would do. In addition, the robot will continuously improve its knowledge through online data research and other data resources for ways to improve task performance using GBT's knowledge extraction technology," stated Danny Rittman, GBT's CTO.

Douglas Davis, the Company's CEO added: "This robot is not a rules-based system but a true learning entity. It can learn by being trained (being given information) or on its own (researching its own information). It can educate itself and adapt to rapidly changing conditions in real time. It can be trained to carry out complex tasks that require thought and adaptation. As an example, let's look at a simple task, like lifting an object and placing it in another location. This task can be done in few ways. The machine analyzes all possibilities virtually instantaneously and chooses the most efficient way to complete the task. In addition, it will research and learn about even better ways to carry out the same task, continuously trying for higher performance and efficiency. We are excited to continue our AI-based development and testing programs to explore many additional use cases, including to develop intelligent applications using GBT's Avant! AI technology."

Investor Ideas #Potcasts; #Cannabis News and #Stocks on the Move: Interview with Narbe Alexandrian, President and CEO of Canopy Rivers (TSXV: $RIV.V) (OTC: $CNPOF)

Investor Ideas #Potcasts; #Cannabis News and #Stocks on the Move: Interview with Narbe Alexandrian, President and CEO of Canopy Rivers (TSXV: $RIV.V) (OTC: $CNPOF)



Delta, Kelowna, BC –August 19, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) www.Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including marijuana and hemp stocks and its potcast site, www.potcasts.ca  release today’s edition of Investorideas.com potcastsCM - cannabis news and stocks to watch plus insight from thought leaders and experts.

Listen to the podcast:



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 I interview Narbe Alexandrian, President and CEO of Canopy Rivers (TSXV: RIV) (OTC: CNPOF), where we discussed industry trends as well as Canopy Rivers’ recent news regarding TerrAscend and JWC and the company’s uplisting on to the TSX.

Canopy Rivers is a unique investment and operating platform structured to pursue investment opportunities in the emerging global cannabis sector. Canopy Rivers identifies strategic counterparties seeking financial and/or operating support. Canopy Rivers has developed an investment ecosystem of complementary cannabis operating companies that represent various segments of the value chain across the emerging cannabis sector. As the portfolio continues to develop, constituents will be provided with opportunities to work with Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) and collaborate among themselves, which Canopy Rivers believes will maximize value for its shareholders and foster an environment of innovation, synergy and value creation for the entire ecosystem.

Could you talk about the recent purchase and supply agreement between TerrAscend and JWC and how this demonstrates the value of the Canopy Rivers ecosystem?

“Our thesis is that vertical integration doesn’t work. It doesn’t work because government's are forcing companies to vertically integrate, but it’s not their actual choice to do so. When you force an industry to vertically integrate, what you find is a lot of inefficiencies get created. Some companies are great farmers, some are greta brand builders, but seldom do you see companies that can do both things very well. The exception would be Canopy Growth, because you can do a lot with 4 billion dollars, but those other companies are spreading their resources too thin. When you look at JWC, one of the things that they’re very good at, is their aeroponic cultivation. This leads to clean, consistent, high quality product for the end consumer. On the TerrAscend side, you have a pharmaceutical focussed processing, retail and distribution operator, and they’re the only company selling in Canada, Europe and the U.S. When you put these two together you get the best of breeds. You create a synthetic best of breeds producer.” 

Narbe went on to discuss the different trends he and the Canopy Rivers team have noticed in the market so far with regards to biosynthesis, brand building and moving in to legalization 2.0 in the Canadian market. 

Canopy Rivers Inc. will report its first quarter fiscal year 2020 financial results before the markets open on Tuesday, August 27, 2019. The Company's unaudited condensed interim financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended June 30, 2019 will be available on the Company's profile on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval at www.sedar.com and on the Company's website at www.canopyrivers.com/investors/financials-and-public-filings.

Canopy Rivers also announced that it has received conditional approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange to graduate from the TSX Venture Exchange and list its class A subordinated voting shares on the TSX.

“In the year since NVIDIA made it possible to achieve real-time ray tracing in games, this revolutionary technology has been embraced across the industry. Looking at the number of games, the big-name franchises and the breathtaking visuals at our Gamescom 2019 event, it’s clear that ray tracing has arrived and is truly the way forward for game development.”

Artificial intelligence (AI) chips are specialized silicon chips, which incorporate AI technology and are used for machine learning. AI helps to eliminate or minimize the risk to human life in many industry verticals. The need for more efficient systems to solve mathematical and computational problems is becoming crucial owing to the increase in volume of the data. Thus, the majority of the key players in the IT industry have focused on developing AI chips and applications. Furthermore, emergence of quantum computing and increase in implementation of AI chips in robotics drive the growth of the global artificial intelligence chip market.
