Blue Star Capital Share Discussion Threads

[keithbfk] 24/1/2021 22:27

It would be a better board if people could actually keep focussed on discussing the actual share and its performance rather than resorting to ranting and name-calling. Presumably most of us are on here to make money on our investment.

Hootza - unfortunately they suffer from confirmation bias over on the other thread, all that’s left is an echo chamber full of rampers, any balanced posters get removed. Doodlebug4 clearly uneducated in financial markets and obviously suffers from confirmation bias herself. You’re welcome to post your thoughts on BLU here with us guys aka the educated thread.

I see another filtered post from the village idiot. If I pay for premium am I able to banish the reject from this thread for good? As I recall all it brings is personal attacks and negativity, a clear sign that they have problems in their own personal life which leads them to lash out at other individuals online to try and make them feel better

I too not overly impressed by Guild BUT Dynasty has the makings of global appeal!! SatoshiPay a lot going now and a case of getting the many customers out there explaining the benefits and cost savings they can achieve!!

Yes come on BLU!
I’m surprised no-one has any opinions regarding my sentiment on Beckham for Guild and the related article I posted to support my points.

If I’m honest re Guild - I think the capital spent on the Beckham partnership could have been put to better use elsewhere. Perhaps they could have contracted a mix of 50x gamers/streamers/gaming pros in for the same amount of money who actually have something to do with gaming day-to-day and have a following. Perhaps get some youngsters on board who are waiting for that lucky break, looking for that opportunity to be spotted and make it big. Yes there is the argument that Beckham could get more eyeballs for football related games like FIFA but that is just one game from many thousands.

Just look at beckhams insta for example, the guild post just gets lost within all the other posts he puts up.

Streamers play a plethora of games, so if they can plug guild on each of their streams/videos then IMO it’s reaching out to more of the right target audience - people who are interested in gaming

When I hear the name Beckham I don’t think of computer games

Just my thoughts and opinions

Great post thanks Kernel Anyone accusing you of deramping is crazy You are only highlighting concerns I'm not a huge fan of Guild Dynasty is what could make us all a lot of money here

[kernel_pult1] 22/1/2021 22:42

And right on cue, an article published about the Beckhams

Beckhams pay themselves £21m despite business losses


This is why I am not so overly excited about beckhams involvement with Guild.

Regardless of whether Guild do well/poor/average, Beckham is contracted to take a fixed sum of money off the table for every tweet, post or however he gets paid. He is more likely interested in lining his own pockets and with that likely to end up taking more than he generates with GUILD. however on a positive note, at least Guild is listed and with that the holding will become liquid once the lock in period expires. Does Beckhams name et-al bring anything to the Guild esports table? Maybe with FIFA but I doubt there will be much influence on the many other games played online.

It’s like trying to relate Lewis Hamilton to Snooker, or Mo Farah to curls... the shoe just doesn’t fit.

The only two areas beckhams name fits with guild IMO is anything football related (FIFA) or the apparel side of the business... again... jury still out

In fairness to kernel_pult he makes some valid points in his latest posts on the other thread - but he should email his views to Derek Lew. I said many months ago, when he was airing his negative views ad nauseum, that he should speak directly to Tony Fabrizi. Really, what's the point in posting the equivalent of several volumes of War and Peace on a thread on advfn's bulletin board. Just sometimes, less equals more.

[kernel_pult1] 22/1/2021 19:50

Only just had chance to read these posts,

In response:

I'm giving Satoshpay until end of Q1, bear in mind Tony is still CEO for the time being until they find a candidate to fill Dereks role, so at this moment in time they are most likely going through a handover/transition period so IMO id rather leave them to it so they can complete that process. I'd rather Derek get his feet under the desk and see what ideas he can bring to the table first.

As Stoxx mentioned, series A funding should be happening for Satoshipay some time in Q1 too.
Dynasty should also be releasing something to the UK market (they said Jan or Feb in the podcast) so watch this space.

Based on the above, hopefully shareholder comms will improve throughout the rest of the quarter, and that’s without mentioning all of the other esports investments, fingopay and LEAF.

To dispel the myths of me trying to 'talk the share price down', I've not sold a single share all this time, my criticism isn't even aimed at BLU or its other investments, my criticism is aimed at the snails-pace progress at Satoshipay. So the logic of me trying to deramp is somewhat flawed based on this. I sat up when we finally broke above the potent resistance at 0.25.... however I've always said that breaking out above it is one thing, holding above it is another, unfortunately it was a false dawn... and I'm sure fellow shareholders will agree it is frustrating to see the share price and daily volume fall away again.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to sell the highs and buy the lows to increase position here but for me, this is not a trading stock... and I know all too well if news drops and you are out of a position due to messing around trading then you're going to be pretty peed off about it.

888 - Thanks for your input, the issue I have with Meinhards comments is that we don't know what good looks like. Is signing 11 business clients good? Personally, I think it is a low figure. I thought they'd have more than 11 clients after just over 12 months, considering the tech is virtually the same as what it was for micropayments. Put it this way, that averages out at less than 1 client a month. This needs to improve massively. It's like they're just plodding along with those sort of figures. The Stellar blockchain should be scalable!

We should really be getting news of new business deals with contracted revenues because this way we know the following: the business is growing, there is demand for the product and it creates solid evidence for them to support a higher valuation. As I said in another post earlier this morning, I'd be interested in knowing how their (Satoshipay) business is valued at circa 20m GBP when they haven't come close to breaking even yet, let alone making a profit. Revenue proven via contracts will overcome this hurdle.

It's about BALANCED discussion, looking at the positives and the negatives. If you only look at the positives, then good luck to you in financial markets - you will need it!

Just look at post 829 and 870 for example for change of stance.Over there that is

[hazl] 22/1/2021 18:10

Expect it's more like their regular attempt to drive it down when they have sold , though l haven't read their posts lately.

[hazl] 22/1/2021 18:09

Well done. It is true some are quick to criticise when they wouldn't be able to do it themselves. Good if they realise that not all shareholders feel the same.

[doodlebug4] 22/1/2021 18:02

Presumably BLU's largest shareholder has had a conversation with Derek Lew since he is encouraging other posters to do so. I don't think it"s unfair to say that kernel_pult's criticism of Meinhard has been incessant over the last several months and I think Nicholas Slater's post was directed specifically to him. Hopefully kernel_pult will take his suggestion on board.

Some companies are good at responding to shareholder's concerns, while others just don't bother.

[888icb] 22/1/2021 17:03

There was an exchange on the other thread this morning involving inter alia our largest shareholder about lack of progress at Satoshipay and how much BLU might sell it for. In case it’s of interest here my contribution was as follows:

This is what Satoshipay said on 15/12/20
Meinhard Benn, CEO of SatoshiPay commented, "We are very pleased with progress made in 2020, particularly in the B2B cross-border money transfer space by launching our new service DTransfer. We are seeing strong market interest and have signed 11 business clients from around the world, expecting to transfer over £70m annually using DTransfer. This is just the start, as new clients are being added every month. It feels like we have created a hit product and we will endeavour to build recurring revenues in 2021.”

Just over a month has past so give the bloke a chance bearing in mind the Xmas and New Year holidays and lockdowns. Satoshipay has relaunched itself with Dtransfer which looks very promising and if it gains traction should be BLU’s best investment. BLU has been all about Satoshipay for years so why would they want to sell now? If BLU were to sell now I would be very annoyed because most long term holders bought BLU because of its holding in Satoshipay.
Our largest shareholder did suggest giving Derek a call to let him know what shareholders views are as he is very approachable and I may well do that next week.

[doodlebug4] 22/1/2021 14:50

I haven't been in touch with Derek yet, but that's a good idea and I will send him a copy.

[888icb] 22/1/2021 14:43

Very interesting article Db. I hope you have sent a copy to Derek. It shows that Satoshipay are in the right place at the right and they are working with the right people. Satoshipay has the potential to transform BLU particularly as we own such a large stake. I look forward to the next update from Satoshipay.

[joeblogg2] 22/1/2021 14:31

yes have had these a few times over the years but hopefully this time I fair better.

[doodlebug4] 22/1/2021 14:26

I hope so - some long term shareholders in BLU have been waiting for over three years for SatoshiPay to deliver. We continue to keep the faith.:-)

[joeblogg2] 22/1/2021 14:21

Do think SPay doing the right things which should generate more interest!!! Could be stellar soon :))
