Hyper Al The introduction of new technology is always problematic. When the internal combustion engine was invented it was not the manufacturers that did for the horse and cart industry in the US and other major economies. It was those who saw the opportunity to de-skill their transport operations and reduce their labour force at the same time |

The specific mention of Googles YouTube did stand out. Hopefully it has some meaning. I do have my own ideas about our association with Google, but I'm not going to speculate here. Let's see what unfolds.
Exciting times for all real holders of the BIRD..

Really we want to be seeing volume at over 1M every day at this stage. That will help to shift the seller. |
Confirmation that the release date is still in Q1 is reassuring.
The one item in the list that really caught my attention is the mention of 65M YouTube content creators. Setting aside that one of the former NEDs was a senior Google man and we know that SBS met them and showed them that he had done what they considered impossible it's very significant that IM chose to mention it. It must be a target for elevate either by postings showing creators what it can do or by getting Google itself to promote it.
Nothing in an RNS is ever there by chance or as a throw away line. |
Not sure this will have an instant effect on the share price while we still have a seller, but it's encouraging anyway, hopefully volume will tick up in the coming days... |
All on time 😊 |
Mornings we are in q1 , so anytime before eom march!! |
As I predicted, another progress update in late Jan to follow those in late Nov and late Dec. All encouraging and seems still on track. I doubt there will be a delay to the payment launch if they're still telling us Q1 in late Jan... |

Hi SSB what I don’t understand is when we are that confident of becoming millionaires within a year or two,5p looking absolute peanuts, we took a big hit from 40p to 4p, what more can we lose? How many you bought since price dropped to 6/5/4p? I bought 500k in last month…. and got more than Milton sold! I only heard from you is Wwwwoooossssshhhh ! Did you buy any or just wwwwooossshhh! |
Future news "BIRD saves AIM" as AIM trading volumes rocket as others hunt bargains like BIRD. |

I'm not sure AIM attracts any new investors, Probably the only people buying and selling BIRD are those who have followed the company during it's history.
Although ir was interesting that the last share price peak seemed to be formed around the time on 10k 40k recruitment period. If that sparked buying then maybe it's users that are impressed enough to buy shares.
If we start a major promotion up to launch we may see a large share price rise again. share price could well become a barometer of success for elevate.io
Just my thoughts, not advice.
Exciting times ahead.
Not selling any! |
SSB
"I have never been more positive on any AIM investment ever."
I totally agree with you.
To think that anyone, at this stage, can buy a stake for less than 5p per share seems totally ridiculous.
There should logically be a stampede of buyers, but I conclude that the simple truth is that hardly anyone understands Blackbird's prospects. It is effectively a best kept secret!! Hopefully this will soon change! |
Now now now..

In or not let's see.
wooooooooooooosssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yes, "tens of billions" is unlikely to happen within a year, but maybe the end of two.
Remember a full takeover doesn't necessarily mean dumping the existing team, far from it, the team could probably complete their ambitions for our technology under the umbrella of the buyer, I mean the team are essential for the future development of the technology anyway. They probably would be given all sorts of perks to keep r and d going. Finding experts in this field is very difficult.
I'm clueless really, just my thoughts |
Chris
Absolutely
It’s more than our valuation as a business
It’s the strategic valuation to others in a multi billion dollar industry |
Perfect johnveals. That's twice in 24 hours!! |
I agree Chris, “tens of billions” will not be achieved with an early sale.
billions not millions |
It's a mistake to underate the BIRD management now. They haven't had serious downtime since the launch, Henry Morgan seems tbe a wizard in sorting out problems experienced by users quickly, their podcast videos show that there are a number of professional markets that they are targeting and most of all when SR says something he delivers on it.
I don't think its wise to look at a single potential bidder because this is a product that poses serious risks to quite a number of very large companies even with the limited applications that have been touched on to date and there will be more as the video market develops. It's not BIRD itself that poses the risks its how other big players deploy elevate to gain advantage over their competitors and that's why a bidding competition would be a likely especially if elevate user numbers soar. But I'm not at all sure that SBS, IM and the staff would want to bail out now. After all if elevate demonstrates in say the first 6 mths that is on track to deliver their vision they have every incentive to remain independent and shareholders too will want to stay on board. |
