Roberts WA, Delta, BC – June 29, 2021 - Investorideas.com, a leading
investor news resource covering cryptocurrency and technology stocks releases a
special report featuring Epazz Inc.
(OTC:
EPAZ),
a provider of blockchain cryptocurrency mobile apps. Bitcoin’s speculative
future is being bolstered by more economic and environmental mining and energy
solutions as well as growth in acceptance of crypto payments and crypto wallet
providers.

In
a change of direction, Alphabet Inc.’s Google has
announced
that it will let companies offering cryptocurrency wallets run ads beginning in
August 2021. Google is making the change “in order to better match existing
FinCEN regulations and requirements,” a spokesperson said in a statement
Wednesday.
The
new crypto-friendly ad policy will apply globally to Google searches, as well
as third-party sites that include YouTube, Gmail, and others.
Back
in 2018, we saw Google follow social media giants Facebook and Twitter with
their collective stance of banning crypto-related ads, (although that was
watered down pretty quickly), but a lot has changed in the last few years when
it comes to cryptocurrency as mentioned in a recent
Bloomberg article.
Epazz
Inc.
(OTC:
EPAZ),
a provider of blockchain cryptocurrency mobile apps and cloud-based business
software solutions, recently
announced
that the Company has worked with CBD Hemp corporations to distribute its tokens
to cryptocurrency investors. The Company has created custom software to automatically
distribute the tokens. The Company has formed a subsidiary called CryObo, Inc.
in order to market the software to other IEOs.
CryObo will continue to develop
cryptocurrency software, which will help with managing IEOs' projects, crypto
assets for large financial firms, and the accounting assets of crypto assets.
The growth of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is bringing new regulations
for large financial service companies, which will need a smart solution to
manage their growing portfolios.
Epazz spun off ZenaTech, Inc., which
initially started as a Bitcoin wallet to manage payment solutions for hemp
products. Now, it is a growing drone company with a payment solution and
compliance software.
CryObo, Inc. will be enhancing the software
to give companies that are interested in launching their IEO an easier way to
create and modify their smart contracts without needing a programmer.
According to R.W. Carlos, Senior Economist
and Researcher at De Meijer Independent Financial Services Advisory, “The
global blockchain market size will grow exponentially in 2021. More businesses
from many industries have expressed their increasing interest in using
blockchain technology to advance their business processes. The COVID-19
pandemic has fast-tracked the digital transformation drive in many aspects,
including distributed ledger or blockchain technology. Thus, the global
blockchain market size will expand from US$3 billion in 2020 to US$39.7 billion
by 2025 at an effective compound annual growth rate of 67.3%.”
Shaun Passley, Ph.D., CEO and Chairman of
Epazz, Inc., said in a comment, "CryObo is a software program which will
be expanding into an enterprise-level cryptocurrency management solution. We
believe there are great opportunities for cryptocurrency, and CryObo will take
it to the next level."
“Crypto is a fast and growing industry full
of new challenges and opportunities. We are developing multiple mobile apps to
fill the growing demand for bitcoin and security tokens. Our software was used
for the Greenheart CBD token,” continued Passley.
Square Inc.’s (NYSE:
SQ)
CEO Jack Dorsey said
recently
that the company is looking into building a hardware bitcoin wallet that would
give consumers greater control over the cryptocurrency they own.
Shares of Square rose about 2.7% on
Dorsey’s comments, published on Twitter, where he is also CEO. The stock closed
up about 1% on Friday.
Bitcoin transactions have become a booming
business
for Square, which allows consumers to make purchases using the Cash App and
store the currency digitally. Bitcoin revenue at the company climbed to $4.75
billion last year from $516.5 million in 2019.
Dorsey is
proposing
a new way for users to store their bitcoin so that it’s not controlled by
Square or any other company. A bitcoin wallet could allow users to store the
cryptocurrency in a secure gadget and let them choose to spend it later.
“Square is considering making a hardware
wallet for bitcoin,” Dorsey said. “If we do it, we would build it entirely in
the open, from software to hardware design, and in collaboration with the
community.”′
“The exchange you used to buy your bitcoin
probably attends to your security with good intent, but circumstances may
reveal ‘custody’ actually means ‘IOU.’ Deciding to take custody, and security,
of your bitcoin is complicated.”
Dorsey said Square might be able to
simplify how people hold bitcoin by creating “assisted self-custody,” which he
said would make it easy for customers to spend a certain percentage of
available funds from their phone, while safely securing the rest of the money
in the wallet. Dorsey said that integration with the Cash App, is “obvious” but
“only part of the solution.”
Dorsey said the solution doesn’t “need to
be owned by Square” and that he’ll provide further thoughts “if we decide to
build” the product.
Marathon
Digital Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:MARA), one of the
largest enterprise Bitcoin self-mining companies in North America, is
set to join
the Russell 2000® Index at the conclusion of the 2021 Russell indices’ annual
reconstitution, effective after the US stock markets open on June 28, 2021. The
stock will also be automatically added to the appropriate growth and value
indexes. The Company made note of its environmental position in the
announcement.
“Being added to the Russell 2000® Index
demonstrates the immense progress we have made transforming Marathon over the
past year,” said Fred Thiel, Marathon’s CEO. “We expect our inclusion in the
index to increase our visibility within the greater investment community, which
will benefit both new and existing shareholders as we continue to build Marathon
into one of the largest and most environmentally conscious Bitcoin miners in
North America.”
Smaller mining company Digihost Technology
Inc. (OTCQB: HSSHF), a
growth-oriented blockchain technology company primarily focused on Bitcoin
mining, is also onboard with going green.
The company announced that it is now a
signatory to the Crypto Climate Accord (www.cryptoclimate.org). This
private-industry led initiative, modeled on the Paris Climate Agreement, is a
global pledge that aligns with the mission of the Company’s recently adopted
DigiGreen Initiative to: (1) achieving net-zero emissions from electricity
consumption by 2030; and (2) developing standards, tools, and technologies to
accelerate the adoption of, and verify progress towards, 100% renewably
powered-blockchains. With the alignment of the DigiGreen Initiative and the Crypto
Climate Accord, the Company aims to be an industry leader well into the future,
contributing to the development of the tools and standards that will govern the
production of blockchain in Canada, the United States, and beyond.
HIVE
Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (OTCQX:HVBTF) recently
announced
its expansion in Sweden with a 4.6 megawatt ("MW") facility in the
town of Robertsfors and sourcing more green energy. This brings the total
capacity in Sweden to more than 33 MW and 133 MW worldwide.
HIVE has installed itself in the historic
'Diamond Factory' in the small municipality of Robertsfors in the northern part
of the country - consistent with its ESG strategy to invest in cold climate
locations with access to stable, low-cost, green, and renewable energy sources.
HIVE has already established itself on the premises and started production in
the first hall while planning their data centre expansion with an option for
more space as the need for additional capacity arises.
'We are excited to welcome a long-term and
serious customer at the factory', said well-known entrepreneur and landlord,
Mikael Bergmark at BrukEtt. He continues: 'HIVE is a world-class company that
is leading the way for the blockchain sector with its solid ESG strategy;
investing only in areas with green and renewable energy, which is precisely
what Robertsfors can offer. We are also pleased to see that several local
electricity and construction companies are already working in the facility'.
HIVE has been operating in Sweden since
2018 and Executive Chairman Frank Holmes believes that this time and commitment
to the country has been worthwhile. 'While some companies are struggling to
find suitable locations for their entry or expansion in Sweden, HIVE is in the
position of choosing among several new opportunities that have been presented to us. This is a testament to our reputation as a
reliable operator,” continued Holmes.
HIVE also recently announced that
it has received approval from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC to list its common
shares on the Nasdaq's Capital Markets Exchange. HIVE will retain its listing
on the TSX Venture Exchange. This
followed news from two days earlier that another Canadian cryptocurrency miner
was listed on the NASDAQ,
Hut 8 Mining Corp. (TSX: HUT) (NASDAQ: HUT).
As technology companies
continue to embrace new wallet providers and crypto payments, there is a new
opportunity for more environmental and energy efficient solutions to support
crypto mining, and in the process, aid in solving global energy issues. Long-term
bitcoin fans see this as the evolution of a new era for digital currency.
