10k max now ?

[moneymunch] 29/5/2018 12:21

Ps 8p if you want any.:-)

[still waiting] 29/5/2018 12:20

at sub £3m m cap there is plenty of upside, especially as this is a std listing and directors having grown and sold large businesses before..

a high profile blockchain deal should grab a lot of investors attention.

we may be quiet now but that's the usual format for a shell.

[moneymunch] 29/5/2018 12:02

Lol, so says the harbinger of doom....my money is on the multi-bag scenario and I reckon a deal is in bag near enough....news coming soon imho . Gl :-)

[double double] 29/5/2018 11:54

Listing rules dont allow an indefinate cash shell, they will go into Autumn have nothing in the bag and will be foreced to buy anything to keep up the listing. Then they will change the name again.

dd, happy to hold a stake and add as the story develops..

[moneymunch] 29/5/2018 11:44

Lol DD, I think you're missing the point, we're invested here in anticipation of an expected announcement from the BoD that they have successfully completed a RTO of a private blockchain technology company, and are very excited at the prospect too, as are the BoD....and a "game changing deal" suggests that the upside will be significant, a multi-bag in a blink, and maybe even jaw dropping depending on the size of the deal...and news of such a deal could drop at anytime...Tick Tock Boom!!! :-)

[double double] 29/5/2018 11:08

I dont need to pop back that is the point!

[still waiting] 29/5/2018 11:05

pop back when we have something, it's not that hard a decision to make..

[double double] 29/5/2018 10:58

What timing? You have no investment in blockchain.

[moneymunch] 29/5/2018 10:56

Not directly, but it's yet another illustration that the blockchain revolution is underway, and so Rodger and Jon's timing of their intentions looks to be spot on. Gl:-)

[double double] 29/5/2018 10:23

That has nothing to do with your investment in BLOC

[moneymunch] 29/5/2018 09:36

Come the Revolution!!! :-)

Every UK citizen should have a government digital account, says Policy Exchange

A new report released today by think tank Policy Exchange suggests that the government should give each citizen a universal digital account to help them regain control over their data, alongside a range of other digital transformation initiatives.

In an effort to make the UK a global hub for so-called govtech, the report recommends that government should be restructured as a platform and centred around the needs of the individual, rather than its departments. While the private sector is working hard on compliance with the EU’s latest General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the government should be focusing on overcoming the challenges set by running on legacy systems, and building up user trust on data security by ramping up its digital presence.

“If you were to create government today, you would not build it around large, free standing Departments of State,” commented former Cabinet Office minister Lord Maude, who was previously responsible for government transformation, in a foreword to the report.

“Instead of a series of siloed hierarchies, you would structure it as a platform responding to the needs of the end user. Government should be there to serve you, not the political needs of ministers or the administrative convenience of mandarins. If you can bank from your smartphone, you should be able to check your tax return or the status of a prescription.”

A primary suggestion being made is the ability for every citizen to set up a single Digital Government Account, where they could see which agencies have access to their data and act as a single point of reference for opting in and out of digital services.

Others are more wide-ranging, such as an exploration of the use of blockchain technology, otherwise known as distributed ledger technology (DLT), in areas like tax collection, land registry and health records. In addition, the Government Digital Service, which currently sits within the Cabinet Office, should be moved to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. All government departments should report on digital transformation as a key objective within their single departmental plans.

“A true smart state should be responsive, intelligent and joined up. The UK is already a world leader in the field – but we can and should go further,” said Rupert Reid, Policy Exchange’s director of research. “The amount of data held by the UK public sector can be a huge advantage if we can use it better.”

“Digital technology offers the potential for a new kind of government in which the citizen is as an active and responsible user, directly in control of their public services, rather than a passive recipient of decisions mandated from the top. This in turn will allow us to create a more flexible, responsive and agile state.”

“Wherever possible, the user should be in control – not Whitehall"

June is almost here and you are now sounding desperate as the company has done zilch and the share price is saying there is nothing coming any time soon.....but the technicals do look good for a break out I will give you that.

[moneymunch] 28/5/2018 18:07

Potentially this could blow Tern out of the water imho, initially I was reckoning on c£8m to £12m, and I'd be more than happy, but given the increased daily hype and interest around all things blockchain, Bloc's timing of their RTO intentions couldn't be better, and it could be more of a case that potential suitors could be chasing them rather than Bloc doing the chasing, I suspect their could be several high profile blockchain targets that would be willing to bend over backwards for a Main Market listing....whatever the eventuality, the upside from this current entry point is most likely going to be significant, and potentially jaw dropping with any luck....Gla Blockheads.....Excitement is mounting, a bit like this thunderstorm overhead in Carnac, neolithic standing stones everywhere you look....On and Up!!! :-)

Nice pic kiwi,

Hoping for a good deal here and a quick multibagger, most other listed block platforms have a m cap around £10m even without a functioning platform, so plenty scope for a 3/4 bagger even before seeing the quality/prospects of the rto target, if it is an already revenue generating block infrastructure then we could be looking at a Tern type rerating.

With the summer slowdown fast approaching and blockchain developments coming thick and fast now I think we must be getting close to our own game changing blockchain news.

With a standard listing and possible aim for roll ups in the blockchain sector I hope they will be aiming for £100m+ m cap in due course.

Blockchain is the future.

Blockchain Is The Next Big Thing

May. 27, 2018 9:49 PM•BKC

Summary

Blockchain technology is likely to be the next big thing for investors.

Blockchain solves problems for multiple types of businesses.

These ETFs give you investing exposure to blockchain technology.

Those who are skeptical of cryptocurrencies may overlook the potential for blockchain technology. While many cryptocurrencies could fail, with their values going to zero, blockchain technology is likely to be an important part of many businesses in the future. Blockchain technology does solve many problems for many different types of businesses. There is a way to invest in this technology through ETFs.

Now let me think??? Most blockchain companies are STILL PRIVATE, now what would be the best way and potentially the most lucrative, near term, to access one of these private blockchain companies??? GLA Blockheads Tick Tock Boom!!! ;-)

"The truth is many companies focusing on blockchain are still private.

But I’ve dug up some exciting blockchain plays for you."

Betting Big on Blockchain

Crypto trading has become wildly popular for traders looking for big, fast gains. Beyond the mania, there are underlying tech reasons that explain the strength of the cryptocurrency concept.

Simply put, bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies are changing how we think about money.

Thanks to strong cryptography, cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are inherently safe and protected. They can’t easily be counterfeited.

They allow anonymous storage of wealth and transactions. Moreover, since they are decentralized, they cannot be inflated away like fiat currencies controlled by central banks.

Their decentralized nature also makes them harder to manipulate, letting their values be determined by the market.

Crypto enthusiasts believe cryptocurrencies have the potential to replace fiat money, keeping stable value over time and enabling fast, frictionless transfers and purchases, all while being completely decentralized.

By and large, I try to stay away from the volatility of buying tokens and altcoins. It’s “fun” to speculate, certainly. But it’s risky, too. I like more sure things.

That’s why in the big picture I’m much more excited about the profit opportunity blockchain holds.

Blockchain is the underlying technology that drives all cryptocurrencies on the market.

I’m convinced the impact blockchain will have on our lives will mimic that of the internet.

In fact, investing in blockchain now is like investing in tech stocks at the beginning of the internet boom.

I see many parallels. Back in the early ’90s, we had the basic communications protocols that made the internet possible. Today, we have the basic blockchain protocol that came as part of the bitcoin online currency.

What didn’t exist yet at the beginning of the internet was what created the actual fortunes… the applications built on those basic protocols that made the internet something of incredible utility.

When those came along, everything changed. And investors made a lot of money.

The truth is many companies focusing on blockchain are still private.

But I’ve dug up some exciting blockchain plays for you. I’m putting the finishing touches to my analysis on them. When it’s done, I’ll be in touch with the full details of how you can get involved with these plays too.
