I suppose you are correct, it definitely makes sense.
Likewise. I have tried many times to bring it up on Etrade too, with no success...
I believe we are going to see an explosion soon, so hang on..!
Definitely, I would much feel safer with Rafe as well..However, I believe the board feels confidence in Michael Poutre's ability to be in control. So, my only question is, why was the filing not signed by the CEO...? I could be wrong but, I don't believe it is valid without a signature.
Just for the record, I'm pro RMRK...
GLTA
Nice post... My only concern is, why wasn't the yesterday filings signed by Michael Poutre...?
Thanks in advance...

This article outlines a remarkable step forward for the digital "Crypto" world.
TCC will prevail...!
Great post...!
The Crypto Company is a holding company. They will have in their portfolio dozens of other crypto companies. Each one of those other companies will add value to The Crypto Company as a whole.
Cryptocurrencies will continue to grow in value; it will be a multi trillion market. Look at all the countries that are now involved with cryptocurrencies; that number will also continue to grow.
One has to believe that there will be other "Bitcoin" companies as time goes on.
So to answer your question if The Crypto Company will be worth at least .10 pps?.....IMO... ABSOLUTELY YES!!!!!
No worries here... I didn't get as much as I hoped for, but I'm ok with the 1.3 mil.

I looked at RMRK back in the middle of July after reviewing some of T53 suggestion stocks. I didn't see anything that I liked about RMRK except that it was trading at the bottom. So I decided to keep it on my radar list just is case. Boy, I sure wish there was at least one thing that I liked back then; I would now be the holder of 30 mil instead of the few that I have...
The Crypto Company is going to Exploded BIGLY..!!!!

From $100 Million to Broke to Betting It All on Cryptocurrencies
Rafe Furst has never given up and today is at the forefront of one of the most game-changing technologies the modern world has ever known.

Serial entrepreneur, Rafe Furst, is no stranger to pressure. He played poker at the professional level and stared down other pros to win first place at a World Series of Poker event, netting $350,000 in prize money and a World Series of Poker Championship bracelet. He has co-founded several companies, and personally invested in dozens of others at the early stage. He has also backed a unicorn startup and gotten stuck with dead horse investments, too.
The key to any poker game, and the game of life, Furst believes, is to keep making smart decisions?—?even if you experience setbacks. Play enough hands where you have an edge and you’ll come out ahead.
He doesn’t merely preach it. Furst faced one of the highest-pressure situations almost any entrepreneur can. In 2011, the online poker company he helped found, Full Tilt Poker, folded after the CEO committed fraud. Furst lost most of his fortune trying to make things right. The episode put stress on his marriage, his friendships and his mental health. But he pushed forward and came out on the other side stronger, wiser and ready to change the world.
There’s no question that Furst bounced back in a big way.
He resumed investing in early-stage startups. And he has used his impressive quantitative thinking to raise millions for cancer research, as well as design the personal investment contract, an innovative way to impact the lives of young people by investing in their future early on.
Now, he’s taking what he believes to be the biggest and best calculated risk of his career. Furst believes he has cracked the greatest investment opportunity of a lifetime: cryptocurrencies.
“I think it’s the most important technology since the internet itself,” Furst says.
The winning formula.
Startup investing is potentially one of the most lucrative bets you can make. That’s if you invest in the right companies. Gary Vaynerchuk recently revealed that had he invested $25,000 into Uber in 2010, his investment would have been worth $300 million today. He passed on the opportunity and wishes he had a time machine.
Furst is a student of investment cycles and he believes that nearly everyone is doing it wrong.
Investors work hard to source the right deals and work with the right people. The result is: they invest in a handful of deals per year. But that isn’t enough. “Investors try to pick winners, but that’s impossible,” says Furst.
Furst should know. He did research in cognitive science and artificial intelligence at Stanford University, founded several startups, invested in dozens more, and cofounded Crowdfunder, a leading online equity crowdfunding platform. That platform connects thousands of entrepreneurs, including famous musician Neil Young and NBA star Yao Ming, to millions in crowdfunded capital. Crowdfunder currently has more than 130,000 members who fund millions of dollars worth of deals each month.
Through millions of poker hands, startup investing and his work with Crowdfunder, Furst developed second-to-none quantitative chops. Those chops helped him uncover a powerful investment insight.
“Most VC funds do a dozen deals per year and most of them lose money because they’re not diversified enough,” says Furst. Modeling data from Right Side Capital, a quantitative VC firm he helped form and invested in, suggests you need over 300 companies in your portfolio if you want to achieve the market average with 85 percent certainty.
Now, Furst is applying that logic to another opportunity, which he believes is bigger than investing in winning startups in the seed stage: cryptocurrencies.
From Full Tilt to the other side of the coin.
Cryptocurrencies are decentralized digital assets, traded using technology called blockchain ledgers. Bitcoin is one such currency, but there are over 800 in existence. Cryptocurrencies provide a much-needed update to how money and other assets are valued, transferred, and used by both people and governments. And Furst believes this need will cause the market capitalization for cryptocurrencies to skyrocket.
So far, he’s right. In the last two years, the overall cryptocurrencies market capitalization has grown almost 30x, minting millionaires many times over. Now, Furst wants to get everyone in on the game.
Furst’s love of poker led him to the group that started Full Tilt Poker, one of the biggest online poker forums in history. Despite massive financial success, Full Tilt didn’t end well.
Furst was one of 23 investors and one of four board members of the software company that launched Full Tilt Poker. They empowered the CEO with full operational responsibility and were distributed a percentage of profits. This was a gamble that paid off handsomely for four years, until the CEO noticed a gaping hole in the company’s balance sheet. Unfortunately for all involved, the CEO hid the shortfall and paid investors with operating capital, not profits, for several months. The CEO ultimately pled guilty to fraud, but not before destroying Full Tilt.
Furst spent untold energy fighting to keep the company afloat, and was rewarded by the U.S. Department of Justice with a civil lawsuit to recover all of his profits. Ultimately, Furst settled and was cleared of any wrongdoing?—?though he lost most of his money in the process.
“I have no problem telling the story and being transparent about what happened,” says Furst. “Every entrepreneur has things that are difficult to tell potential investors. Mine happens to be really public, and what’s out there is very one-sided and politically motivated.”
This dangerous cocktail of professional pressure, anxiety and public scrutiny had heated Furst’s mind to a boiling point far beyond that which most entrepreneurs experience. It led to a mental and emotional breakdown. But, thanks to the support of his family and friends, he bounced back and changed his life’s trajectory.
The experience gave Furst much-needed clarity. He knew he wanted to do something big.

Back in 2011, Bitcoin was the only cryptocurrency in existence. And while Furst took a gamble and invested in it, it was clear to him that it would take the rest of the world a while to catch up in understanding the significance of Bitcoin. So he launched full bore into Crowdfunder for four and a half years. By late 2016, there were hundreds of currencies and he became convinced that the blockchain and cryptocurrencies were getting much closer to the point of changing the world.
“It’s the decentralization of money and power,” Furst says.
A multi-trillion dollar market?
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are backed by the power of distributed networks, just like many startups and open-source software projects. As such, cryptos (as they are known colloquially) are not burdened by operational inefficiencies of centralized bureaucracies, and can appreciate in value quite rapidly, especially if they prove useful to the marketplace.
But, Furst learned a crucial lesson from his VC and poker days: the more bets you spread out over time, the better chance you have of hitting the jackpot. That’s exactly what he’s doing with his new venture, The Crypto Company.
“With The Crypto Company, you don’t have to worry about the technicalities and risks of buying and selling individual cryptos. We are a holding company for a basket of cryptos and providing a basket of consulting services to other holders of similar assets,” Furst says.
Right now, investing in and cashing out of cryptos is a laborious process that often requires bank transfers between multiple online exchanges and parties, and several layers of verifications. Instead of the hassle, The Crypto Company will offer direct and indirect exposure to dozens of different cryptos.
As a result, The Crypto Company has wide exposure to the cryptocurrency market, one which Furst and others believe can be a trillion-dollar market within the next five years, as he expects banks, governments and institutions will jump on-board. For some perspective, the market capitalization for cryptocurrencies has grown approximately 6x in the first half of 2017 to over $100 billion. Furst calls this huge number merely a “rounding error” compared to the trillions of dollars traded and transferred by financial institutions in commodities, derivatives and gold daily.
Furst was forced to fold a money-making hand in Full Tilt Poker. But he came out on the other side even stronger.
“Poker is a great source of entertainment, but in the end it’s a zero sum game: for someone to win, someone else must lose,” explains Furst. “Entrepreneurs, on the other hand, are creating what’s known in economics as shared value; in other words the startup game is win-win.”
He sees cryptocurrencies as elevating the game of startups to a whole new level. In fact, Furst believes that cryptocurrencies are the new startups, but with even bigger advantages: crypto networks are decentralized and the tokens are liquid right away.
“This is like when I was in Silicon Valley in the 1990s and saw the first web browser before almost anyone,” Furst says. “Blockchain and cryptocurrencies are the future.”

Excellent post...
This definitely has potential written all over it, but let us first get to copperland before we start looking at silver.
However, I agree, it is definitely very probable.
lol...I just gave you a follow my friend..
Absolutely...green is only one tick away.. If you mean dollars, that can happen as well, but not as often.
Back in April, I had 6.5 mil shs in P*PM for 9 years that went up to .02 before the suspension. I held on too long; sold for a 18k profit instead of 100k plus.
We live and learn...
Glty
I just read this post...Nice...I like the way you work brother...lol
I agree that they can not discuss information regarding their client. However, they can confirm if the "Public Knowledge" is true.
Have ypu ever contacted an attorney to confirm if they are representing an individual or not? I have on a few occasions, and they will either say yes or no without a letter of consent.
BF Borgers had done nothing more than that. Again, public knowledge being confirm without revealing the continent of their client's information.
Not true...It is public knowledge that Pilgrim Petroleum has retained BF Borgers to do an Audit.

Pilgrim Petroleum Corporation Retains BF Borgers CPA Firm to Become a Fully Reporting SEC Company
Jun 27, 2017
OTC Disclosure & News Service
Addison, TX -
Pilgrim Petroleum Corporation (PGPM), an oil and gas exploration development (E&D) company focus in proven fields exploited by well managed independent oil companies extracting reserves at lower risk and lower cost than unproved prospects. Our parent is Pilgrim Petroleum PLC, a private company (E&P), focus in domestic and international areas where major oil and gas producing companies have reduced their exploration efforts in search of larger reserves.
Management is pleased to announce that the company has retained BF Borgers CPA a registered Accounting firm with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), the accredited accounting firm will complete the audited financials of the company and plans to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the purpose of becoming a reporting company.
Management commented "in reflection of our commitment to our shareholders, we trust that it is in the best interest of our investors to move up to the more distinguished market, where our Company will have greater visibility to a larger group of investors." The Company will keep shareholders updated as events unfold with the process, as well as other projects currently underway.
Being a fully-reporting issuer significantly expands the companys eligibility for both analyst coverage and investor interest. Many institutional investors are unable to acquire the securities of a company that is not fully reporting with the SEC. As a fully reporting 1934 company, the companys filings will now be accessible through the SECs main website (via the EDGAR system), allowing investors, the general public, and financial analysts to extensively review the Companys operations and financial performance.

Borgers has not disclosed any information regarding the audit other than they have been retained. Again, public knowledge.
I will reconfirm my post. I talked to Ben Borgers, I believe on July 19th, and he told me that he can't disclose anything to me regarding Pilgrim Petroleum. So I asked him if he could at least confirm that Pilgrim Petroleum has in fact retained BF Borgers for the purpose of an audit? He replied, "That they do have a signed letter of engagement". I then asked Mr. Borgers, so, does that mean that you have started the audit? His answer was, "We haven't started the audit, but we will be looking into it soon". However, on July 14th, when I first contacted BF Borgers, I asked the receptionist if I could speak to Mr. Borgers? She told me that Ben was not available, and then asked, if there was something that she could help me with? I said, yes, could you tell me if BF Borgers will be doing an audit on Pilgrim Petroleum? Her reply, " I can't discuss anything regarding Pilgrim Petroleum while the AUDIT IS GOING ON".
My conclusion is that they have already started an audit or will start the audit soon, but either way, an audit will take place.
GLTA
I could have and should have cashed out .015, but my greed got in the way... I lost a 100 grand....My supidity!
I hear you man, a lot of us lost money here. However, why would you use OPM or money you can't afford to lose...? The biggest reason why you don't is... well, you're looking at it.. I feel bad for you man, but own it, it was your choice...
I guess that was my 3 mil. Apparently, I didn't cancel my sell order properly... Oh well... hopefully you and the gang turn this around and prosper handsomely...
GLTA
I decided to cancel my sell order. I'm going to wait for the audit; over 9k involved in the 3 mil, seems foolish to let them going for less than tax write off.
PGPM has a slim chance to recover. However, it is a chance.
Ok, I'll put them back up for sell. AON 3 mil @ .0004.
lol...big fingers little buttons...I still have my 3 mil
I see that... I still how my 3 mil
No, not yet...
Thanks for everyone's input... I'll sell 2 mil @ .0005
I selling 3 mil @ .0004 AON (all or none)
Buy my 4's....3 milly AON....
Selling 3,000,000 sh @ .0004
I'll validate that confirmation as well. I talked to Mr. Borgers on the 19th and asked him if they are doing an audit regarding Pilgrim Petroleum? His response was that they had signed a letter of engagement with Pilgrim Petroleum but they haven't started the audit, but will be soon.
I'm sure this is just management's share buy back plan...at least I'm hoping it is...lol...
Damn, this is disastrous!!!
