LAS VEGAS, June 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
FN Media Group Presents Microcapspeculators.com News Commentary
A report published by MarketsandMarkets indicates that the FinTech Blockchain Market size is expected to grow from USD 3.7 Billion in 2018 to USD 6.2 Billion by 2023, and at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 75.9% during the forecast period. According to the report, the key factors driving the FinTech Blockchain Market include its high compatibility with the financial industry ecosystem, faster transactions, reduced total cost of ownership, as well as the rising cryptocurrency market cap and Initial Coin Offering (ICO).
More and more financial companies are investing in Blockchain technology. Recently CoinDesk reported that Mastercard is exploring the use of public blockchains for securely verifying payment cards at the point of sale.
Some companies exploring blockchain technology include: APT Systems, Inc. (OTC: APTY), Marathon Patent Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:MARA), Bitcoin Investment Trust (OTC: GBTC), MGT Capital (OTC: MGTI), Riot Blockchain, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIOT).
APT Systems, Inc. (OTCPK: APTY)
Market Cap: $2.094M, current share price: $.0066
APT Systems, Inc. (APTY), a fully-reporting, publicly-traded, fintech company, announced that the recent filing of its 10-K ending January 31, 2018 allows the Company to move forward with a funding agreement reached earlier with student-led Triton Funds LLC. Financial support is an important part of commitments going forward as are agreements with supportive investors that have extended repayment dates. Management expanded their software development team based on platforms planned for next six months. The Verifundr platform, with its smart contracts, is a critical element in forming the trusted financial ecosystem as it allows for all members to be vetted under both KYC and Anti-money laundering protocols, currently maintained by the banking industry and its regulators.
Marathon Patent Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:MARA)
Market Cap: $24.69M, current share price: $1.23
Marathon Patent Group Inc. shareholders understanding how the stock's risk and return characteristics can impact your portfolio is important. A market capitalisation of nearly 25M puts MARA in the category of small-cap stocks, which tends to possess higher beta than larger companies. Furthermore, the company operates in the professional services industry, which has been found to have high sensitivity to market-wide shocks. As a result, we should expect higher beta for small-cap stocks in a cyclical industry compared to larger stocks in a defensive industry.
Bitcoin Investment Trust (OTCQX: GBTC)
Market Cap: $2.047BN, current share price: 11.48
Bitcoin Investment Trust is a private, open-ended trust that is invested exclusively in bitcoin and derives its value solely from the price of bitcoin. It enables investors to gain exposure to the price movement of bitcoin without the challenge of buying, storing, and safekeeping bitcoins. The BIT's sponsor is Grayscale Investments, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital Currency Group. As of March 31, 2018, each BIT share represents ownership of 0.00100396 bitcoins. The trust will not generate any income and regularly sells/distributes bitcoins to pay for its ongoing expenses. Therefore, the amount of bitcoin represented by each share gradually declines over time.
MGT Capital (OTCQB: MGTI)
Market Cap: $80.6M, current share price: $1.13
MGT is primary a cybersecurity company, but the company also has deep roots in the blockchain and cryptocurrency realm. MGT owns and operates a 5.0 PetaHash bitcoin mining machine that yields about 100 bitcoins a month which equates to roughly $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 a month in revenue from the mining operations.
Riot Blockchain, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIOT)
Market Cap: $100.25M, current share price: $7.44
Riot Blockchain changed its name from Bioptix and literally did a total 180 with their business plan. A pharmaceutical company existing since 1998, RIOT essentially rebranded themselves as a blockchain company overnight.
RIOT is now focused on gaining exposure to the blockchain field via investments in blockchain-related companies. The Company produced approximately 122 Bitcoins during May, including the BCash that was mined and converted to Bitcoin throughout the month. The Company produced approximately 28 Litecoins as well. The Bitcoin yield represents an approximate 13% increase over the Company's yield for the month of April 2018.
Personally, it looks like a cup and handle could be setting up on the daily. Anyone else see that???
Which one?
We seem to have some slight resistance at .0065. We need to break through that! Technicals look great
Listened the podcast and it's pretty good.
If you're so worried about them trying to push the price then buy and go for the ride. Apparently that's what you do anyway so ... *shrug* .. Why are you complaining? Because I'm not understanding.
TECHINCALS LOOKING GOOD!
PSAR Flipped.
MACD green.
Higher highs and higher lows.
9-Day crossed the 20-Day and 50-Day
20-Day crossed the 50-Day
Previous resistance broken.
Accumulation is positive.
RSI is at 58.
911 hit at .0065 on the Ask.
I'd say we're primed for a nice run right now! Last time we had these nearly same technicals we ran from .0025 to .0378 and from .007 to .0291.
I'M READY!!!
That’s only if they don’t make the payment.. SIIIIGH
It's up 20% how is that closing even... ??????
I agree. This is awesome. Been holding for a very long time so it’ll be nice to see some really great moves past the previous runs.
Nice moves today! I’m liking this and a very interesting 10k out
It's gone because someone put a higher bid for half a million and you can't see it at the moment.
*Eye-Roll*
2.5 million sitting on the bid!!!
Thin on the Ask.
This should be interesting!
The next quarter report should show the revenue. Should be a good one!
Wow. You say I can't read but it's right in the announcement.
“We are going to spend the next two weeks adding to the app’s offerings and restructuring the marketing plan because we believe it will substantially increase the current monthly revenues of $12,950. We are excited to relaunch this app with a new look around May 1st,"
Snapt Games Recent Acquisition Announced by APT Systems, Inc.
What in the world are you talking about?
"includes sales of shares" <- Literally what???
That makes no sense. It's a cash positive company that they have acquired and it already brings in $12,500 per month. They are hoping to make it better over the course of the next couple weeks so that it generates MORE than $12,500.
So no. It does NOT include ANY sales of shares.
Good grief, we're back to this again.
This is exactly what I meant by the last few trading days is showing an interesting trading pattern. It’s trending back upwards with higher lows and possibly a bullish pennant.
Interesting chart pattern the last few trading days.
Hey! You’re finally in! Yay! Glad to see you on board... finally lol
Oh wow. I haven’t had a chance to read up on the info this week. This is amazing!
Wow. I see you’re going hard lately. Very interesting. Trying to get that low price huh?
They didn’t have it on the last 10Q because the game was released like a week before the 10Q came out. I mean seriously? And they didn’t have to complete the buyback in December. They still have time to do it. You pick and choose what you want to read and you choose info and try to make it seem negative without giving full details.
That is wrong and a scare tactic to fill the buy you announced having in a ridiculous range. You admitted this yourself.
Just stop. It’s old.
You don’t own any shares and the lying/scare tactic is getting old.
You freely admitted this yourself.
Any dilution here is laughable and in paltry amounts. They always pay it off.
As usual. They pay off debt BEFORE noteholders can do any damage.
AKA dilution.
Tired of arguing with king of crying that owns no shares but insists on being here crying about non existent things to scare people.
Oh wait. He has an order in and is trying to scare people into selling down to him. I forgot he admitted that a few days ago.
Hmmmmmmmmmm....
That right there is the biggest point anyone could possibly make. If you hate it, why stay here and consistently complain?
No it shouldn’t. They are building a company. Not looking for a quick buck.
Lol I’m not desperate. Been holding for a VERY long time. If I was desperate I would be on here pumping it constantly.
Note holders with a $1 minimum agreement when we are at this price level is not a bad thing. They are trying to bring revenue to pay it off before it dilutes like they’ve done with most other agreements. They avoid dilution. That’s my point.
It’s NOT a P&D sooooooooo??????
EXACTLY!!!
And this is why I don’t post on here that often. The company is undervalued. PERIOD. Smh.
The price is fixed at $1. Seriously? Compared to the price we are at, how is that bad in any way??? It’ll RAISE the share price. OMG.
Post it. I don’t see it anywhere.
Dilution is on their Twitter. LOL wow
Great. Now this fool is really pumping up the dilution rumor.
Good grief! It doesn’t take a scientist to see that the whole damn market is bleeding. ESPECIALLY Tech! It’s not dilution.
I can’t. I just can’t sometimes. SMDH.
Possibly. But the market is very unsteady right now which is why we are at these prices again. If you look at the drop on the DOW and compare it to yesterday’s chart, they are similar. Same for the past couple weeks. It’s because it’s the tech sector that’s taking the biggest hit.
On the good side, we are primed for a major run once everything steadies out. The upcoming acquisition news could be just what we need to bring us back above a steady penny and on the right track again. There will most likely be a fun run first though
The market is crumbling. Especially tech.
So much red everywhere!
Exactly. ZERO RS and never planning on doing one.
Bullish abandoned baby forming on the daily.
All technicals' show oversold.
News coming soon about acquisition per APTY.
This should be interesting
The tech sector was a bloodbath today.
I'm just saying.
Actually, you do not know my trading style. I would appreciate it if you QUIT attacking me. Thanks.
