Blue Star Capital Share Discussion Threads

I have been ringing through my trades with the share centre. All my other stocks I deal electronically but unless you are buying tiny amounts I think you would have to ring your broker.
I have bought 5 lots of COIN and each time I bought some it moved the price !!!

Good luck.

I understand that COIN are listed on the NEX exchange. How easy is it to buy and sell on that exchange?
I note COIN share a common investment with FFWD in Factom. I currently share DB's view that BLU with its bigger share of Satoshipay is the better bet but I am tempted to take a small position in COIN as it is operating in the same space and has a position in a number of early stage companies.

Post 300 - thanks db4, good to see you're on this bb. I always appreciated your research on ffwd. I'm confident we're onto a winner with BLU. Now is a great time to be invested here, I just need to free up some more funds before this really takes off..

[bdog51] 11/6/2017 09:34

Isn't there a reasonable chance that BLU could do a reverse take-over of SatoshiPay? It's certainly been hinted at by the CEO. This is another reason why I'm invested here. Can you imagine what would happen to the share price if an RTO took place here?

[oakville] 11/6/2017 09:18

Nice one... I'm the other way round as I think COIN has a more diverse portfolio and they are still 120% below the IPO price...
Currently 4p I am looking for 25p

Good luck we are certainly at the beginning of a new tech era.

I have bought into BLU instead of COIN as I think BLU is a far better option - BLU has a far bigger stake in SatoshiPay than COIN and I like the investment in Sthaler here as well.

I don't know what a blockchain is and I certainly do not know how they work. I know that they are the technology behind Bitcoin, that they are very clever and that they will have uses beyond digital currency.

Somehow these blockchains are the ledger for all Bitcoin transactions and are the arbiter of who owns Bitcoins. And that pretty much exhausts my knowledge of blockchain.

Probably because I do not understand the technology, I have not yet purchased Bitcoin. There is always a suspicion and wariness of something you do not understand: can I trust this "money"?

After all, isn't money supposed to issued and controlled by governments rather than shadowy computer nerds who are possibly serving black market adventurers?

Bitcoin and the other digital currencies sit outside and government command and regulation.

* Blockchain could cut real estate costs by streamlining transactions
* Blockchain technology could increase the trust in data that we never knew we'd lost

In fact, there are plenty of instances throughout history of currencies that are not issued or controlled by a government. A small, personal example of this is when I was on an expedition to climb Mt Everest 20 years ago: Base camp was fairly isolated with little opportunity to bring in fresh supplies.

One item, always scarce but critically important, were AA batteries. It got to the point that you could trade just about anything for AA batteries (four AA batteries for a bottle of Scotch). A currency does not have to be issued or regulated by a government.

A currency can be whatever a group of people agrees - and a lot of people have put their trust in Bitcoin.

To own some Bitcoin is to give currency diversification. If there is political or economic Armageddon, it just might be good to own some Bitcoin (a bit like gold).

Ad Feedback

Like gold, Bitcoin has scarcity value, pays no interest and, also like gold, has its fervent believers. Gold bugs (and some who believe in cryptocurrencies) have an enthusiasm for their products that rivals religious rapture.

Usually the purpose of Bitcoin purchase is to speculate or to diversify. The currency has made a few people rich: Someone who bought Bitcoin in 2010 for US$100 would now, according to CNBC, be sitting on more than US$50m.

Bitcoin has been extremely volatile. There has been rabid speculation that has seen the currency take wild swings up and down. That volatility may be no bad thing for speculators who are encouraged to ride those swings to profit or to loss.

As diversification Bitcoin probably also works. It is possible to imagine an economic crisis that hits some currencies hard but where cryptocurrencies maintain their value.

I will never understand block chain technology but, then again, I do not fully understand how computers on jet aircraft work either and yet most weeks I quite happily get on a plane. So, I will buy some Bitcoin for some diversification and to learn more. I do think cryptocurrencies are here to stay and buying in will help keep me in touch with what they are all about.

As we are all following the same tech, have you looked at COIN? Coinsilium.

Welcome bdog, good to have you on board. Like you I'm going to gradually build a decent holding here.

[bdog51] 10/6/2017 13:52

I'm now in BLU, as of a couple of days ago. I'm here for SatoshiPay, being a long term FFWD investor. If we get anywhere near that original flotation price, I'd be delighted. The potential here is astounding. Hope to top up as the journey here progresses and develop a decent holding.

[doodlebug4] 10/6/2017 13:16

I think 10p was the price that Blue Star was floated many years ago Roofer. It's very difficult to predict a future share price here as BLU is in a red hot sector right now and as apfindley has pointed out, SatoshiPay have a unique product. People are only beginning to waken up to the potential here.

[roofer2] 10/6/2017 11:24

Great to see a few new posters reading up on BLU, few from FFWD know of satoshipay, with the speed of growth along with regular updates the possibility of 10p is not out of the question along with a few pull backs on the way IMO
That's my take on it anyway. Gla

I agree that FFWD's decision to sell their stake in Satoshipay seems odd,particularly in view of the share price rises we have seen this week in BLU. The only acceptable reason would be if all the other investments FFWD has turn out to be better than Satoshipay. I rather doubt that will be the case as Satoshipay looks extremely promising. However if all the investments turn out to be better all will be forgiven and I will be delighted!

[doodlebug4] 09/6/2017 19:56

The journey is just starting here, it was a serious error of judgement for the BoD of FFWD to sell their stake in SatoshiPay. Absolute madness imo.

[doodlebug4] 09/6/2017 14:40

Sthaler featured here:

[babbler] 09/6/2017 14:04

And buyers back too. Close above. 3 imo.

[apfindley] 09/6/2017 13:42

Lol of course you did. But I don't remember seeing you bleeting about being invested here before. But as for bell zone I wouldn't bother as the market cap is now very high and very sudden. At least here at BLU we are still only £4m market cap...... And with a huge huge global potential from nanopayment from many many possible sources.

[babbler] 09/6/2017 12:58

Sold here for Bzm... After it has ten bagged in 2 days... Gl... Gl...

[glenbo1] 09/6/2017 12:30

You could get caught on a nasty spike now at BZMPatience here will be very well rewarded imo

[letmepass] 09/6/2017 12:17

Sold and put in BZM

[apfindley] 09/6/2017 12:00

The quantity of trades in the past 2 days is a massive increase over normal trading. Could poont to some news known. Or could just be investors waking up to the massive potential here. An update on dtl coming soon which we're expecting. Fingopay is also going to be huge, but our stake in that is only small. The making of this company will be satoshipay, which we have a 19.1% stake. Massive.

[qs99] 09/6/2017 11:45

well plenty IMO seem to like it, as looks like it is going to test the 0.3p mark shortly again, thereafter, be fascinating where it goes, but can't be much stock around surelY? DYOR

[doodlebug4] 09/6/2017 09:12

I think Apfindley suggested a target of 4p in about 12 months and I think that is realistic.
