Why would it be? They've got over a million users and more signing up each day. Whatever technicality they may be using to avoid paying royalties is apparently working for them. There have been several artists who removed their music from the site but the majority of the music is still there.
Those million users are sources of revenue and when music sites start charging for their music players, Hypster will be right along with them collecting revenues. Artists are already lobbying congress to "tax" radio stations. They want to be paid whenever someone hears their music. The old way of doing business in music is being phased out. It's going to take a little while but there's going to be cash flowing into this thing. The only question I have is whether Tight Lipped Mike is going to share the wealth or if he's going to do something sinister and try to get it all for himself.
Right now he's got something that works. Maybe he's not promoting nor taking great measures to put it out there in a really big way, but he's still gaining 2400+ new users daily in addition to the 1.1M that he already has. I can see the value in this even if the pps isn't exploding right now. I'm not selling anything. I'll just wait and see what happens as we gain millions of new users. End of story.
The VEVO's and others will start charging IMO. Like I said last weekend. Right now they're just getting people accustomed to the "music at your fingertips" concept. I'm looking to see us pass 2M users. By that time, I suspect that the movement to charge customers would have started. If they do, I have absolutely no doubt that Tight Lipped Mike will follow suit. Initially there'd be some customers who bail, but if everybody's charging, they'll be back.
I don't see where they need to charge a huge monthly fee. $1 or $2 a month is reasonable for the service. 1.5M customers talk about revenues!!!!!
Total: 1160140 Pages: 116014 Still averaging more than 2400 new users daily. Ugly pps and trading but we've got a real product that's in demand. We'll get there...
It looks to me like Google is looking for technology rather than entertainment type stuff. It'd be nice if they or another big boy with deep pockets were looking for entertainment at this point.
One thing that we have in our favor is that we're already established, and the company value in terms of new users is growing every day. Tight Lipped Mike could certainly get more for a company with 2 million users than he can for 1 million users. Sooner or later someone is going to buy BUNM. We're not seeing the value yet in pps but it's growing every day.
JMHO
Absolutely right Pennystocks07. Lots of potential to make money here. Get in and get out when the time is right- you make a fortune. Fall in love and you risk losing your @$$.
Use information (GOOD AND BAD) and good judgement and you should come out all right. Start with the dreaming and fantasies and you risk becoming a bagholder.
Like I mentioned in my other note, if I had control over where the e-mails went, I'd blow up their box because I'd send all 3M e-mails to Google. I send the e-mails and they go where they want to. I would imagine that sooner or later I'll get to them but I don't know when it'll happen.
I hope your tastes are more in line with the mainstream than are mine. To me, it's kind of ugly and looks like something that might appeal to a grade schooler. I think the blue bottle was a good idea to distinguish the product but the label is ugly and unappealing in my eyes. Doesn't have anything to appeal to my thirst. I just hope that most people disagree with me and find it to be attractive and thirst-stimulating.
I wish that for 1 day I could send those 3 million e-mails to ONE mailbox. I'd blow up Google's purchasing dept's mailbox. Lololol!
Lolol! Now let's stay away from untrue and misleading statements. EESO fell like a rock last week and I had a hunch that it was going to bounce after it hit bottom. If I'd followed my hunch and put a mil on it when it was at .0017, I could have bailed out on Friday with about 5 grand after it went up to .0077. Instead, I followed my cowardly @$$ and didn't get any of that action.
Now for you to say that you wouldn't have touched that stock even though it was a quick 5 bagger, is an untruth. (In other words, I don't believe you. Lololol!)
Or
"I NEED MONEY" is the false statement.
If you wouldn't touch a five bagger "No matter what it does!", you evidently don't need any money.
Be true to yourself grasshopper!

Still averaging more than 2400 new users daily. IMO, we'll easily be sitting at 2M+ by this time next year. We just need to hang in until then. We should see some fireworks by that time.
Man Foggdogg, I wish I'd jumped back into EESO when they were down at .0017 and caught their ride back up. Could've had a 5 bagger!!! I was really tempted to sell another play at a small loss and get back in because all along I suspected it would bounce but I was too chicken to do it. Lolol!
I figured one loss for the week was more than enough. I should've done it though. Would have made a nice profit and could've bailed out again today. Now I'm too chicken to try it at these levels. Never know when the bottom will fall out again. Lolol!
To clarify, I didn't say that they had a cure. I said that I paid little very litte interest in them after making some money flipping it a couple of weeks ago. I was aware that they supposedly had a drug that was supposedly very effective against cancer. I also stated that if they did have an effective drug, there would be powerful forces which would see to it that the drug would never see the light of day.
The FDA is one of the first line defenses that Big Brother uses in order to squash competition for big pharma. When someone has something to offer to the market that will help people, the FDA is always right there to squash it.
When someone has something that will kill people like aspertame, the FDA approves it. Of course, they didn't initially approve it because they knew it was harmful but with the help of Donald Rumsfeld, the head of the FDA was replaced and a puppet was inserted who was more than happy to grant approval for this poison.
As for GNTA stock, as I said, I really don't pay much attention to it. I saw that it had a nice bounce after the crash and I'd wished that I had flipped it for another week. That's all the thoughts I have on GNTA. Whatever happens with that stock is their own business.
To be honest, I haven't really looked much at that company since I made a little money flipping it a few weeks ago. I bailed out just before it crashed the first time. I saw it come back up out of the ashes a week or so later but I didn't try to get back in or anything.
They're supposed to have a cure for cancer or something of that nature which would be great if it were true and we lived in an ideal world. The fact is that even if I did believe that they had an effective cure, there are too many people in high places who profit from the sickness and death associated with cancer and these forces (with the help of Big Brother) would destroy any chance that the cure had of being brought to market.
It's possible to run a car on water. I've seen it. When the guy (Stan Meyer) who perfected the process couldn't be bought off, he was killed before the process could be brought to market.
There are many examples of solutions to problems which exist in our world today but the problem is that there are powerful forces which profit from the problems and act to extinguish the solutions before they can be delivered to the people. They either buy off or kill off those with the solutions. That's just the way it is and if these guys at GNTA really do have something special, they would have a tough row to hoe any way you'd look at it.
JMHO
Isn't that the truth!
He's starting to sound like the people on the EESO board pre-crash.
If the guy's posting verifiable facts, why debate and fight with him? Are there people here who are shooting at the messenger just because he's telling them something that they don't believe? Or is it that they don't want to believe?
I'm a BBDA shareholder too and I don't want to believe that there's a possibility that we may be following a crook, but I'm not going to start attacking and denying facts that someone else may post just because of my desire for gain.
Read the EESO board. They're getting plenty of "I told you so's" from people just like STB, who tried to warn the board when they saw red flags. Problem with that board was that they were like high-schoolers. You had to be in the clique and you had to be an "EESO faithful" or your posts were deleted, limited or you were banned altogether.
We don't need that on this board. We need clear, factual information from both sides of the fence.
STB is making some sense. With the information he's providing, combined with my own DD, I can make better educated decisions regarding what I want to do with this particular investment. There's no reason to simply deny what he's saying unless you can conclusively prove him wrong.
That's just like I was saying a few weeks ago. He's got nothing to gain by screwing around with the shareholders or wrecking the system now. He's got his night on the town money and a business that basically runs itself.
Did you read the post I made over the weekend? A year or so from now after we're 2M deep in users, he'll problably start charging a small monthly fee for the music player. That's when he'll get rich and those of us who are still here might make a little change.
Now I'm not going to go so far as to say that I "wasn't affected." Lolol! Free shares or not, $500 bucks is 500 bucks. One day I had it and the next day I didn't.
I flipped out of GNTA right before they fell apart the first time. I wish I'd put some back in and taken that ride back up. There was a lot of money to be made flipping that stock over the past couple of weeks. I'd have done much better than fooling around with EESO again. I'm just glad I bailed out when I did.
That board is too much!!! Lololololol. They're getting all the "I told you so's" from those that they didn't ban. Between that and the arrogant a'holes eating crow, it's hilarious. One guy's got a post where he sent an e-mail crying to the CEO that he's lost his a$$! ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Dear J***d, I bought in at .019 and I've lost about 75%, but I still believe in youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
(In other words, do you feel sorry enough for me to send my money back to me?
Signed,
"I was too dumb to know when to bail and to dumb to know that I should have redacted my full name from this post."
I'm laughing more at the responses of the participants moreso than at how so many people lost money with that POS. Lord knows I've lost my fair share playing pinkies but for heaven's sake, you've gotta know what you're getting into in the first place. Not only that, but the majority of people on that board were real jerks.
Can you imagine sending a letter like that to "Tight Lipped Mike" if he ran to Brazil with all our cash? LOLOLOLOLOL! Think he'd respond? ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The reason I don't believe he will are for the reasons that I stated in my weekend post. I don't think that any of these music services had ever intended for the services to remain free.
I think they were designed to get people thoroughly accustomed to "music at your fingertips", dependency on the system for getting music. Centralization basically. Like everything else, once centralization takes place, competition is all but eliminated and you can start jacking prices.
Mom & Pop have a gas station. Exxon moves in across the street with lower prices. Everyone goes to Exxon to save 3 cents a gallon. Mom & Pop go out of business. Exxon starts charging 6 cents more than Mom & Pop would've ever thought of charging.
This is no different.
I've mentioned many times, I'm no big music lover but I listen to a lot more music today because Hypster gives me exactly what I want when I want to listen to music. Exactly what I want to hear with no commercials and the ability to add or delete whatever/whenever I choose.
In the short time that this service has been around, at this point, just think what an inconvience it would seem like to get up, go to a record store and buy a cd in order to get one song that you really liked.
It'd be like trying to find a payphone instead of using a cell or handwriting, stamping and mailing a letter to a friend rather than sending an e-mail.
They get you accustomed to and dependent on a system...
Then they drop the bomb with a small monthly charge for the music player. If you've got millions of customers, you've got millions of dollars in monthly revenue from your users, plus advertising and any other revenue generating avenues you've built into your system.
This is what I really believe they've got planned and I think when one starts it, all the others will follow. When they drop this bomb, I don't think anyone will be so outraged that they'll be willing to start driving back to the record stores either.
Lololol! Yeah Foggdogg, I was out at .01. I lost about $500 in free shares that I was riding. I'd flipped my way up between them and GNTA and when things started looking shaky, I took the profits and kept 100k free shares that I had accumulated in case they did anything good. When things got hot, I left the kitchen at .01 Lololol.
They're catchin' hell over there. Lolol. That's what those delete happy mf's get for deleting posts of anyone who's not in their little clique. I get a kick out of going over there and watching them squirm and pray for miracles! Lolololol
Last weekend he responded to a couple of posts that I and another poster made. Not much going on here so he's probably just taking a break from the monotony. He comes in pretty quickly when there's something of interest posted on the board.
Is that nickel theory based on my speculative post or is it based something you've seen recently that gives you that indication?

Still picking up 2400+ new users daily. We'll start making some noise soon. I know it's hard to be patient but this will eventually pay off big time for those who have the patience to wait.
We're in on the ground floor. A once in a lifetime opportunity. We've got a REAL product that's in demand.
I'm no big music lover but I use my player WHENEVER I want to listen to music. A dependence is being created.
I don't have to listen to any tracks that I don't particularly like and I don't have to change any cds when the tracks are done playing.
Whenever I remember a song that I was in love with, I can just go get it and add it to my collection. I don't have to buy any cd cases or find anywhere to store my music.
If a new song comes out that I really like, I can add it too. I don't have to go anywhere, I don't have to buy any cd, I don't have to do anything but search, add and it's mine.
It sounds really simple but just think about 10 years ago when this wasn't available. If you wanted music, you had to go out and buy it or listen to hours of other crap and wait to hear it on the radio.
It's very possible that some people are buying tracks on Hypster. I've been tempted to do it a few times myself and burn them to cds but then, when you think about it, what for?
Why not just pick up a nice set of quality speakers for my computer and play my tracks for free?
Other than for traveling, why do I need music on cd?
I'm not a person who needs music with me 24/7. I listen to my music most times when I'm at home. When I'm at home and I want to listen to music, I've got Hypster.
It's like owning a car. You don't know how dependent you are on it until it breaks down and you have to use another means of transportation. After you fix it, you realize just how dependent you were on it.
If, for some reason Hypster went down the tubes and was no longer available, I'd be really disappointed. Not just because the stock went south, but because I couldn't listen to all my favorite music, uninterrupted all day.
This is the same thing. Let it be. Let the listeners keep growing their dependence on it.
We'll be at 2M users in less than a year. People will have their playlists and music players all set up. All those songs right at their fingertips 24/7.
Let's look at a strong possibility for the future.
A year from now Hypster is 2M users strong and growing. We're still sitting at .0001 with little to no trading.
Tight Lipped Mike places an announcement on the Hypster website:
Due to current economic conditions, the cost for a "a night out on the town" (Foggdogg, Lolol) has increased. Hypster membership will now cost $2 per month. PayPal, Visa, MC, AMEX accepted. Pay now at checkout or your music player will cease to function in 10 days.
(Naturally I'd hope he'd present this message in a much prettier fashion with all the fluff and window dressing necessary to make it sound as pleasant as possible before putting the shaft to people. Lololol)
Naturally there will be the normal outrage that people feel who are accustomed to getting something for free then suddenly having to pay for it.
Before you answer, think about it...
-Has that stopped people from buying bottled water?
-Have they stopped putting air in their tires at the gas stations?
Let's look at the facts
-They're already set up on Hypster.
-They're accustomed to having their favorite music on demand with a click of a mouse, many have made connections and are using Hypster as a social network. Chatting, working and listening to their music simultaneously.
In short, Hypster has become a part of the daily lives of 2M people by this time.
-They're accustomed to getting a new song whenever they feel like it without having to go out and buy it nor wait to hear it on the radio. They accustomed playing any song they want to hear on demand 24/7.
You've got 1M users who have been members for more than a year. Hard core, addicted Hypster users. You have another million who really like the service and are using it regularly.
Now their world has been rocked. Tight Lipped Mike has gotten greedy! He wants their $2 a month.
Worst case scenario- 75% of the users hit the door because they're pi$$ed and refuse to pay. 500K users remain and Hypster makes $1,000,000 per month from the remaining users.
Best case scenario- 95% of users are so accustomed to using their playlists that they don't mind paying the $2 a month to keep their playlists and lives intact. They don't feel like moving or trying to find a similar music service, find and upload all the same songs, the same services, etc. only to find that a year from then that new music service will be charging $5 a month.
I've got over 150 songs in my playlist. I wouldn't even feel like getting pen/paper to make a list of the songs that I've accumulated thus far. Let alone go through all the investigation to find another free service that offers the same then signing up and creating another playlist.
Even if I weren't so lazy, after I'd finally located a new free music service, while I was going through all that work, probably after I'd written down the 74th or 82nd song, the thought would hit me "Tight Lipped Mike is a greedy son of a @%$##&$@*$#!!! but these guys are probably going to do the same thing in a month/year." I may as well skip the work and pay my $2 a month. Where's that checkout page. My MC number is xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx exp. date xx/xxxx"
Lolololol!
And I'M no big music lover. Imagine if you were.
Hypster makes $3,800,000 per month.
Let's face it. The average person is too lazy to go through all that work when they have something already in place that works. Hypster isn't gaining 2400 new users daily because they have a bad product. They're gaining these users because they offer a great service that is already in demand.
NUMBERS,NUMBERS, NUMBERS!!! That's what is going to blow BUNM up! We can't see the big plan now but we CAN see these numbers growing big time!
Anyone want to take a shot at the pps of a company earning in excess of $3.8M dollars monthly might be? My guess is that it'd be a little higher than .0001. Lolol.
Hypster isn't just a music player. It's a way of life. Just wait and see.
Just a little food for thought...
Hang on in there fellas. In about 35 years, you'll be glad you have those shares...
You'll be thanking those MM/MF's for not filling your sell orders.
I've still got 2 sell orders in. One for .137 and the other for .13
They haven't filled me either. Lolol.
No doubt. I remember the S. Africa news but I didn't know that they were promoting it during the World Cup! What potential!!!! Most Americans don't know how big an event this is. The Superbowl pales in comparison.
After no one stood up in the first 20 minutes, I left the board. I'm going to take a look now and see how we're doing.
Keep the faith. GO BBDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like they've all changed their minds. Lololololol!
Now that's a good idea. Make a list of everyone who says they're liquidating, "preserving capital", "getting out" or otherwise dumping their shares tomorrow and let's see how many of them are here posting on Tuesday. Lololol!
Ok, all who claim to be dumping tomorrow- Stand up and be counted!
Yeah, it would be awsome. If it were true, I could live with the "break a few eggs to make an omlet" philosophy. Think I'd let him slide with this little white lie. IF this was his strategy.
Oh. Ok. Well, looks like "Tight Lipped Mike" was on the ball with this one. Had to protect that money for cigarettes and nights out on the town. Lololol. Your million bucks is in the bag! Nothing to worry about. Lololol!
Thanks for the info.
What's going on? I saw notes and the very first was deleted. The rest were responses based on the first.
So naturally, anyone who comes in later is clueless as to the information.
Thanks Huppo for the information. Now I can wait for the video and see what BW has to say. I have information that will help me to evaluate the total picture and make educated, logical decisions on what I want do do regarding this stock.
Well thanks again. A lot of you guys- including yourself deserve some of the credit too. A lot of people on this board contributed both financially and intellectually to this effort.
When we did our little "moneybomb" thing, there was a little change left over. I put a little more money with it to get this lifetime membership to Safemail Services. The messages are saved in HTML at the site. All I have to do is log in, pull up whichever message I want to send, hit send and off they go. I'm done.
It's a pretty simple effort that takes less than 5 minutes and when one considers the potential reward for such a small effort, it never even crosses my mind to stop doing it.
We all want to see this stock take off. If 5 minutes a day will help to make it possible, why not?
Damn! I missed it! Are we at .0007 yet? Lololololol!
Lololol! I did that from age 11-14. I didn't say that I was going to be the volunteer. I only suggested that if the board really wanted to pick up this info before Friday, that this is a way it could be done. Doesn't bother me one way or the other. I'm in the Caribbean drinking a beer. I can wait for Friday. Hell, I can wait for July.
Paypal fees aren't that high but with all the people posting on this board, .50 should get the volunteer the $20 pretty quick if everyone contributes. If not, I don't mind kicking in my $2. This is easy. It doesn't have to be a compicated endeavor. I like small amounts because there are many who post on the board. Secondly, if the volunteer decides to go to Brazil with our .50, no one really loses anything. Lolol!
Ok, we get a volunteer with a paypal account. We each send .50 to them. When they've got the $20, they e-mail the company, send the $20 via cc or other accepted payment, download the information and share it with the rest of the board. It's simple. Who was the one who first suggested getting the info?
You want the information too. Why should anyone have to shoulder more of the burden than any other? A person with 100k shares is going to read with the same two eyes as a person with 100M. .50 isn't going to hurt anyone on this board. Why do we have to haggle about everything?
I just made the suggestion because it was starting to look like some people couldn't wait.
It also might be nice to have for comparison with what is told to us in the video.
Ok. Who's going to volunteer to do it? Everyone else chips in 50 cents via PayPal and sends it to the volunteer till we get the $20. The volunteer gets the info and shares it with the rest of the board.
No problem. I Just log in for a couple of minutes in the morning and they're done.
I picked up about 2.5M at .0004 earlier today too.
Yep!
Oh Gawwwwd! I didn't "imply" anything. I said it straight out. And what I said was in response to the article where it has apparently been discovered that RedBull has been putting cocaine into their energy drinks- supposedly for "flavor".
I then jokingly posted that as long as RedBull is using old Coke tactics (Coke, at one time DID use cocaine as an additive. For flavor of course. Lololol! Tastes like chicken! Lolol!) to addict people to their product, that maybe Koma should add a little nicotine to their unwind product in order to achieve the same result.
There! I've said it so that even a caveman can understand it. Are you satisfied?
I asked you to read the article and evidentally you didn't. You just made another reply that came straight out of your a$$ and makes absolutely no sense. This is why you're confused. Now let's drop the topic before it gets ugly.
People still hung over from yesterday. I see 8M+ at this point.
