Wouldn't it be pleasant to read that Cyios isn't on death's doorway?
That some great business opportunities missed over a 4 year period isn't the only story to be told and that there is growth and benefit to come (other than scrapping for 100ths of a penny in movements before sliding back again).
Because a once active message board has gone mostly silent doesn't mean the voices of the past have all departed.
So Hulk
1. Who is this Mr. C ?
2. Does this recent post of yours, Hulk, indicate you have left ownership of Cyios stock . . . . or does it mean this mysterious "Mr. C" has left their ownership of Cyios stock ?
Aren't readers suspicious?
When the latest hoopla of CYIOS's was the grand NFT opportunities regarding SLAM GIRL and the association with Stan Lee - was already to start back in mid September to Early October of 2022 - it was easy to understand why when Ethereum (associated with any and all NFT projects and valuations) plunged down to $900 in value - why CYIO became a silent whisper and a plunging stock price from its former $1700 range - - - even though supposedly there was "all this promise" of interest and desire - and a market brimming with interest and desirability on such a Marvel related Stan Lee influenced - new hot product grouping.
So fast forward to End of February of 2023 and BTC is in the 23,000+ to 26,000 pricing for numerous weeks already and Ethereum is in the 1575 to 1700 range - yet we don't see any positive movement or interest in CYIO stock. No bells or whistles sounded? No question marks? No mentiones of interest and desireability ???
Recent postings here were here about "who is arbitrarily supporting CYIO 's stock price at at a penny a share" ?
What is the very obvious answer?
Isn't it really likely that insiders or friends of insiders are buying "the public shareholders held stock" at a cent or below because they want the stock to stay public because they NEED the stock to stay public for their own future purposes and activities ??? And yet no press releases or commentary to be released because that keeps the stock price barely above water level (almost drowning but not quite). So is the entire staff so swamped with activity that they can't even communicate as a public company should in some form or another.
And public financial reporting ????
I recommend you read this link from start to finish of the short article. Start to finish.............

Pudgy Penguins NFT collection is setting new heights. The rising tide is lifting associated projects, too.
It's rather stunning just how badly the crypto segment of the stock market has fallen.
Pay attention when the financial auditing companies don't want to be involved no matter how much they can charge.
This is a big deal because it's required to be a publicly traded company. The next 'shoe to drop' is going to be a big one.

Isn't it sad how pathetic this investment has become. All the promises and pledges of greatness from banking and borrowing to medical and healthcare and expansion.
All the dream sequence scenarios of recovery and regeneration and finally the far less grand desperate hope of survival based on cartoon and comic book acceptance all very visually anticipated as the answer to financial success. . . Then declining to financial survival and then further yet to seeing the "salvation nft poject" be publicly available but not with the expectations materializing or nowhere what is needed.
Isn't this interesting. I opened up the link/article about the Slam Girl drop happening Oct. 4th of 2022.
When done reading, I closed the Slam Girl story dropping link and bang The next thing I see on my screen is this story shown below. Let me clarify. . . I didn't search for anything, I simply closed the link as I described above.
Then this link below. . . comes up on my screen (also dated October 3rd 2022.)
NFT sales plunge in Q3, down by 60% from Q2 | Reuters
https://www.reuters.com/technology/nft-sales-plunge-q3-down-by-60-q2-2022-10-03/
Greetings Wodehouse,
While any activity no matter how small is better than nothing - lets just look at this logically. If ALL the 3.03 million shares had traded at its closing price of 4.2 cents (which it certainly did not) - its only $126,000 of trading in total.
Compare that to a noticeable trading day of CYIO 2 years ago in summer where it traded 16+ million in a single day at 30+ cents per share and a trading total of nearly $5 million dollars of single day trading total of the same stock.
My point is when Helio merged with CYIO officially (and we owned less entities at the time besides) the stock price was 50 cents per share.
Let's start being a meme stock and really see our investment recover back to what it should have been all along. JMHO
Greetings others that are stuck with disappointment too.
The link below shows just how bad things are when it comes to crypto.
If you are looking only at the price of crypto choices - you're missing the background situations - the demand and desire for crypto is still falling - meaning cryppto miners are suffering greatly - and if the source of new crypto is suffering greatly - what does that tell you about true demand - it doesn't exist. In other words - crypto prices should be accelerating if the miners aren't working as crypto existing would be in greater demand and prices increasing - but that isn't happening as you read the link and the list of Chapter 11 filings developing by major names. And that includes inflation isn't increasing crypto prices either.
And of course yet another shoe to recently drop - that Ether - by virtue of the recently completed "merge" activity has caused - the U.S. is now getting much closer to considering Ether to be a security and all the restrictions and government requirements that would create in the near future - Even Biden is talking about it. And of course - NFT is ==== > Ether based - and that would require those two things ("security status" and expanded government regulatory increases) - to make it difficult for CYIO to be operational in the U.S. (which is why they are back in Australia in 2022.
Read the link and see how many crypto related businesses of size or going or already started the process of Chapter 11 - and this was about all the new West Texas location too.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/crypto-mining-data-center-provider-205213119.html
The glimmer of hope is failing fast.
Greetings Fellow Readers,
Its all too clear to see volumes of shares being sold at ever lower and stunningly horrible stock prices of CYIO.
Lets project clarity - - - We know the stock and its companies are not doing well or are not able to produce profitable results to support the company and its shareholders. We see stock prices continually decline from 50 cents to now 2 cents on a steady basis for years.
So who is selling stock? Two potentials are the most obvious
a. shareholders who paid much much more and have become completely exhausted at waiting for years with only steady losses to show for it.
b. the company may have issued more new shares in a desperate attempt to create some money to pay their bills.
Any other fanciful suggestions don't match the steady pattern we've seen IMO. And to those who might claim its temporary - exactly when has the situation NOT existed (existed 1 year ago, 2 years ago, etc. etc.).
JMHO based on actual observations.
Glowing words - is not actions or results - just words.
Can you highlight where we've seen marketing RESULTS in how CYIO has handled and succeeded regarding our sanitizer products, or our CBD products or how those skills and efforts have financially benefited the company over the last 2+ years of constant shareholder value declines in volume of shares traded and in unimaginable declines from 48 cents per share to less than 3 cents per share ? Doctor's Choice doesn't seem from the numbers to actually have been Doctors choosing CYIO.
Lets also recall that we paid a considerable amount of value to have a 3rd party supply us with 2.1 million addresses and contact points for our health and wellness marketing yet we've not seen or heard of any results coming from that list of 2.1 million names. Surely someone who has expertise in marketing would have shown far greater benefits than merely buying a mailing/contact list.
Words are the tools of politicians and their hirings - while real marketing is far more active and effective at garnering interest and action in my opinion and experience.
What kind of capable "marketers" would have allowed websites of many many large and well known influential financial contact sites in the investment field to have incorrect and inaccurate contact information of CYIO . . . over YEARS 2019 thru 2020, 2021, and even part of 2022; that only in the last couple of months has been at least - at the very minimum - to be updated after allowing 2+ full years of those blatant errors and wrong information to exist and referring to the former failed company and leadership which cyio acquired back in 2019.
Where is our healthcare growth these last nearly 3 years? Where are our profits and developed opportunities that certainly a major pandemic would and should have created in a world so focused on health and avoidance of illness defined hospitalization and death ? A considerable advisory board was established - yet did they not have many recommendations and we simply never used any of them or ????
My point is . . . . outside of the mere possibility of a comic book character and story line possibly creating some action - where are all these levels of expertise showing up in healthcare - in crypto - in cannabis opportunities so greatly hyped?
Those who understand the current status of opportunity we had in 2021 especially and the incredible new pandemic spread of covad 1- b and now monkeypox would definitely agree with your post about how important the 24 line could have been as game changer for us in 2020, especially in 2021, and now a new very ever expanding 2022 and how sad masking is a hot button conversation in both Los Angeles and New York City at the same time today.
I'm glad to see you have finally figured out how big a successful marketing of the entire 24 series could have been both a profitable income producer and great reputation builder for CYIO especially in 2021 and now 2022.
A Remarkable Silence by the company of CYIO.
Any Shareholder would naturally wonder if CYIO/Helio is still active or if Slam Girl is still an ongoing effort as since the Dubai convention - there has been no news or coverage about the company and its NFT project.
But its greater than just that. We have no idea what the CYIO share of sales would be for Slam Girl product. We have no clue if we would get 10% or 25% or 45% or 60% of Slam-girl sales.
"Silence is never golden" for a public company unless you are hiding secrets in one form or another IMO
So my question is - with the releases of financials for C"YIO/Helio - will those financials disclose what our actual ownership and share of sales CYIO will maintain or have of the Slam Girl activities.
JMHO
Hulk - you didn't answer the question I raised of readers regarding CYIO/Helio in the last 2 years ?
Enough with this "oh maybe we can ascend a penny in stock price" - here is a one question quiz about CYIO and its shareholders.
1. We all know that the stock price of CYIO has declined greatly and substantially in the last 2 + years. But when was the last time that CYIO has increased in value by a nickel or more in a period of a week - since Helio became a part of the public company . Just a single nickel or more in a single week and held that price increase or more over a 5 day period ? And when was that timeframe so it can be verified?
There is nothing malicious about historically accurate history.
Anyone is absolutely capable about looking up my posts to see I was either accurately indicating concerns at the time which then in the future proved out to be correct.
Not once did I ever predict the stock would be 50 cents by last Christmas. Not once. Not once did I predict big benefits if helio focused on cannabis. Not once did I say propy would be a huge impact on our bottom line. Not once did I ever agree with how we could agree we could change our ticker symbol quickly and easily. Etc. Etc. Etc..
It's all out there for anyone and everyone to read and veryify.
CYIO shareholders - be aware of what is happening regarding Crypto today.
3 reasons to be very cautious and VERY aware of the news of just today relating to Crypto and the different sides relating to all things "Crypto" and how it may effect CYIO and our largest holding Helio.
5 Things to Know in Crypto Today July 5th 2022
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/5-things-know-crypto-today-105112377.html
Crypto lender Vauld has frozen withdrawals, and hedge fund Three Arrows Capital has filed for bankruptcy. Here are the crypto firms hit by the sell-off. July 5th 2022
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/crypto-hedge-fund-three-arrows-123956516.html
BOE Says Crypto Needs Tougher Rules After $2 Trillion Drop July 5, 2022
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/boe-says-crypto-needs-tougher-093000819.html
So here we sit and sit and sit. On June 24th I posted in several ways just how similar it was to own CYIO under the Carnahan led results compared to the CYIO being led in the Lewis / O'Shea process and how each promised and promised yet shareholders saw potential and shareholder values dwindle to nearly worthless results.
The silence then was deafening and the silence now is equally deafening. Stock prices and daily trading volumes then and now declined and declined. And always it was "just a little longer" to a big turnaround and here we sit in July 2022 and the newest version of resurrection called Slam Girl is not making anything happen after an April display and a May unveiling in a Dubai convention that was a month and a half ago and stock price and volume are even further declined nearly 2 months ago from the "great unveiling".
CYIO then and CYIO now . . . and promises that we can't eat or drink or draw any investor interest. The similarities are stunningly strong and the lack of results are very evident and unanswered. And shareholders are all choking on the death of their investment in the same named stock of then and now.
And the excuses then and now always about "being in it for the long haul" . . . "a haul" that never comes.
JMHO
Wodehouse, I believe you hold a similar perspective as many other shareholders.
Its so very obvious that the CYIO of Tim Carnahan and the CYIO of John O'Shea & David Lewis mirrors the negative results for shareholders. Consider just a few points:
1. while military software and Crypto appear to be very different - both started with high possibilities and great potential - but each descended into losses in earning potential and great declines in shareholder values and a steady eventual point of landing near the very bottom of any level of stock pricing.
2. each went thru multiple twists and turns of "possible opportunity and growth" yet failed miserably to acquire any factual value for the PUBLIC shareholders.
3. public shareholders never knew what level of value could the company gain with success - take as an example - the much hyped Slam Girl effort - how much of every dollar made in NFT sales would our company receive 2% or 10 % or 25% or ???? we have no idea because all the partnerships and linkages are left as "mystery potential".
4. In both operational methods - it seems we are always "late". So the current company has the latest "story" is Slam Girl (prior cannabis - prior Propy real estate - prior CE-FI De-Fi crypto - prior Crypto exchange - prior CBD and 24 etc. etc.). Now in early or middle 2021 - Slam girl could have generated a great deal of money (and depending on our split - maybe some for the public shareholder part of CYIO). But here we sit again - as with Carnahan and his needed system update which came way too late - we sit with a potential NFT winner - themed from Ethereum at a 2/3rds value decline from middle 2021 and an NFT market bloated with huge quantities and a declining interest besides. We had 24 too - which in 2021 could have been successfully marketed to well healed quality targets - but instead . . . . well . . . . we don't even know if they marketed the product other than "just being" on Amazon to the general public - instead of properly marketed to those who would have truly needed and desired it.
5. Until just the last 45 days or less - leadership must have thought the Carnahan regime was something to be admired as in virtually all profiles of financial news and stock information - the data was widely focused on the past regime of location, contact, and headquarters. Strange isn't it - both companies spent a fair amount of money of U.S. offices that provided little to no benefit to the company or its sales effort. Even with all the business additions of "New" CYIO - the employee counts of both companies was also similar.
My point is - in small business - "timing is everything". The 5th company who came out with "the pet rock" floundered miserably - while the first two "pet rock" businesses generated huge money and attention to their owners and shareholders.
======> There is no doubt CYIO/Helio had some good opportunities present themselves at one time early in the operation - "24" was a compelling product at a perfect time of commercial need in late 2020 and all of 2021. Also as an example was a very potentially interesting story CYIO could take credit for - NOT about Crypto - but rather how they saved a public company at very low cost from the SEC and kept the original shareholders involved and the potential positive press and attention (if it had been properly handled) they would/could have garnered very positive benefits for the stock interest of the company. But instead - their timing on both product & exciting good PR for the saving of the company was late or completely non-existent.
In summary - businesses who fail to make substantial money or benefit at the timing climax when opportunities arise are doomed to struggle with excuses that have leaky lifeboats to them.
And here we sit - measured in the shadow of the failed Carnahan regime and a stock price and pattern of misses and tardiness - just as the prior CYIO had as well.
JMHO.
Beware of too much patience.
Hulk - you stated: "You take silence as a negative, I take it as an unknown."
Silence is a necessity when you are developing something highly confidential and when you have a pocket full of money to afford to have silence. Other than that - I absolutely take silence as a negative - ABSOLUTELY - because it shows a lack of understanding how public companies operate and how shareholders are willing to invest in troubled times as we are in. |I've worked for decades helping newer businesses become successful and helping successful businesses achieve still greater success. Steve Jobs was a master at it.
Just one of the several keys to success - is keep investors interested and encouraged by keeping them informed with HONEST and REASONABLE information - don't make things up - don't project what you can't achieve - and never avoid the truth.
As to the idea of crypto being cyclical and that it will rebound again - I don't doubt it could and can - but the pattern since 2007 by all the experts - is it runs in 2.5 to 3 year cycles. So if you want to wait 2 to 3 years for crypto to recover again - you're welcome to it - but we (CYIO/Helio) won't last that long and you need to recognize that IMO. The clock is ticking Hulk and I don't doubt Slam girl can make an impact if it was 2021 or beginning of 2022 . . . . but its not that time now - and now its impact is greatly changed if it does make an impact.
In small business - "time is money", and we (CYIO/Helio/Immortals Group doesn't have the money to wait. By the way - you've mentioned TXTM multiple times - yet you seem to avoid telling your audience the fact its a small stock at 1.6 cents per share.
JMHO
You can't have GOOD CATALYSTS if all your powder is "wet".
And right now all of cyio and helio and immortal group's "powder" is wet. NFTS are down . . The things NFTs are built from like from (Ethereum) is way way way down And being crushed.
And crypto exchanges are way way way down.
WODEHOUSE doesn't see any catalysts and neither do I.
Do we even still have the San Fransisco offices ? And what is done there as all the Crypto effort that still remains is in Australia..
If you're clinging to the idea of big huge giant money coming from NFT Slam Girl . . . There is a simple example of how that has been effected. Lots of crypto assets are locked up and can't be traded or monetized.
1. Celsius and Binance both are locked up . And others have margin issues attached. Our most likely buyers of slam girl nfts are existing crypto holders.
2. Have you noticed since the Middle East show completed how we haven't seen any big press releases ?
Yet another event to a large competitor of Cyio/Helio. And when is allied to clear. . . It will mean still more selling of Crypto. . . at ever lowering crypto prices.
Sunday June 19 2022 Just announced
Another crypto lender freezes withdrawals amid market decline
In a sign of deepening turmoil in the crypto community, Babel Finance has become the second major digital-asset lender this week to freeze withdrawals, telling clients it is facing “unusual liquidity pressures” as it contends with recent market declines.
“The crypto market has seen major fluctuations, and some institutions in the industry have experienced conductive risk events,” the Asia-based lender and asset manager said on its website.
It comes a few days after Celsius Network, another crypto lending platform, paused withdrawals, swaps and transfers. Meanwhile, a tweet this week by Three Arrows Capital, a major crypto hedge fund, raised concerns about financial troubles at the firm, adding to the sense of broadening distress.
A recent market downdraft has sent the value of all crypto below $1 trillion (£820bn), a precipitous drop from its highs of $3 trillion late last year.
Its a great question Wodehouse, but they have no "positive" answers to give you so they don't answer.
BitCoin on Saturday is now $ 18,700.64
What does that mean? Well according to a couple of those articles I linked the other day here - if BitCoin crossed below $20,000 its a sign of real crypto trouble - and here we are just a couple days later and already 10% LOWER than that danger number.
At the same time - we look at Ethereum's current pricing which right now
is $ 948.14 today. That's much lower than 10% decline since the other day - its almost 20% lower.
Now what "the believers" really want to say and tell you in answer to your questions is that NFT Slam Girl is "supposed to be" the start of recovery - but they can't say it because its not Spring of 2021 when NFT interest really went up - AND - - - - Ethereum was in the $2900 and $3000+ price value range - but neither of those conditions is now true - AND IS NOT believed to be true anytime in 2022 or even longer.
And then lets recognize that there is yet another concern - Helio it now turns out is a CeFi aggregator for 9 other lenders - in other words - they get paid a "finder's fee" on crypto loans that their exchange can initiate. And anyone knows that "finder's fees" are just a tiny piece of compensation - not a major financial producer . . . . . . > and . . . . . > and this is really important - many bigger and significant names are freezing loans and withdrawals and announcing layoffs in the 15% to 20+% range - and dealing with margin calls of considerable quantity and size . . . . . . . > that doesn't show a hot market for loans is currently ongoing.
Add those combinations above - and any reasonable analysis might be that expectations for the next 6 months and longer for the crypto market are anywhere from ====> not good all the way to downright ugly <====== depending on the brands of crypto we consider.
Now because NFTs are all universally Ethereum based and it isn't the spring of 2021 either for crypto or for NFT's - Helio and CYIO must be considering issues and problems with cash expectations that are likely greatly diminished from Helio's exchange activity or The Immortals NFT activity - and then there are all these competitors of much larger size, flexibility, and finances already sweating bullets besides and laying off people in chunks.
A final thing I spotted yesterday on the Helio revised website - is that it mentions in some detail certain things I don't understand they can advertise:
specifically:
1. borrowers using their crypto to secure loans don't need to be concerned about margin calls - because somehow Helio doesn't have loan arrangements that include margin issues. ?????? how does that work when Crypto drops 70% in just the last couple months? How can you say or do that - when everyone else has margin issues or considerations ?
2. I noted that the minimum loan amount that Helio can arrange is $50,000 or above. Seems like in a market filled with pressure and decline and interest in crypto - that finding the market that is ONL|Y $50,000 or greater becomes much much smaller when crypto is already devalued as much as it is. Surely there are some wealthy crypto holders out there - but its only reasonable to think the quantity of those now is much smaller in value and quantity. Meanwhile many of its competitors have smaller minimums as the market has become very strained and margin calls are growing quickly.
JMHO.
Surfkast, you stated "Another dismal week coming to a close,"
I don't agree - for many operations - this week has not been dismal - its been disastrous. How would you like to be owning MSTR about now - the head of the operation leveraged an ongoing public business to a very extreme level for Cypto - and margin call situations and significant debt problems are blossoming like springtime dandelions in a lawn.
Wow - its Friday and still an hour before markets open - and Good Morning America is doing a special segment right now about how bad being in Crypto is for investors and that they are down 25% JUST THIS WEEK and how high risk AND NOT SAFE & not Protected Crypto is.
Just watch how regulations will be stiffened and increased and restricted a bunch now. Celcius is specifically mentioned and how they are not allowing any withdrawals at all.
Looks like Oil, Silver, Gold etc.. will be definitely favored for some time to come.
Am I saying Crypto is "done" ? No. But when shows like Good Morning America are talking about huge losses and high risk and people losing $100,000 chunks as they interviewed one who has 2 kids, wife, etc. and no access to that 100,000 - the FED, Banking, Treasury, and SEC will be all over this stuff.
And what I've been concerned about the last 18+ months and more - smart small businesses understand when you have a chance to generate real money - especially unique opportunities like CYIO had . . . . . you run (don't walk) to the operating cash flow opportunities - you don't leisurely consider and delay. Its called "Elephant Hunting" and any smart sales head understands how it works - "you hunt to eat" what is available - and then you quietly and for short bursts of time - you watch for "elephant tracks". The point is - you can't exclusively elephant hunt or you collapse from lack of food and water - but if all you do survival hunting - its all you ever do.
Seems to me alot of our competitors are going to be very competitive as they struggle for food and water - are we going to be one of those - because we can't live off of what we haven't made all this time of opportunities we let go by us.
Anyone know what are we doing with that fancy offices in San Franscisco we have/had ? What do we use those for ?
Friday morning concerns about Crypto and it's steady decline.
Well it appears now even numerous crypto bulls are saying "hold off of buying now". Why? Because they think it will be late this year or early 2023 for some meaningful recovery of value and in the mean time they are expecting declines to continue.
Strange how wrong the whole concept of crypto was supposed to be protection from inflation and recessession and analysts are now admitting Crypto has not resisted but instead has "led the way in losses and declines.
But here is their quotes and statements
All of a sudden exchanges only want to be aggregators and nobody wants to be holders. Crypto holders were supposed to be experienced and methodical investors and instead they are covering and cowering as they watch values declined already as much as 70% and it's only 1/2 a year into 2022 and the worst is supposedly still coming.
How are all these many exchanges and aggragators supposed to continue in business when Al the big profits come from other choices that are not being done?
Wouldn't you think a public stock like Cyio/Helio would want to get ahead of this thing and be communicating with its shareholders about where cash flow will come from to stay in business? But it's just silence. And Xeroe is checking to see if we aren't a CeFi and DeFi entity. . . Only an aggragator. That would be news to me as I've read the press releases and recreation they have used of themselves.
The link below is balanced coverage on the status of Crypto between now and end of 2022 . . . . Don't miss reading what the professionals are admitting to. It's a 3 minute read but a good read.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/should-you-buy-the-bitcoin-crash-some-crypto-bulls-say-not-yet-100354857.html
With all due respect Xeroe . . . Your post is in disagreement with what Helio has told us in their press releases and in their profile descriptions.
Yes they do some exchange activity with others who lend money out.
But they have repeatedly told us they are both a CeFi and FinFi entity.
They have also told us they (helio) has a $100 million dollar credit line of their own.
That seems to directly contradict the idea they only arrange loans and don't actually do some of them themselves. . . . . Don't you agree.
But then after all. . . A smart company would "get out in front" of the issue by publicly informing and clarifying.
In addition . . . . Cyio/helio is banking on their nft wffort to get them out of a very deep hole. And surely you and everyone else reading this fully understands Ethereum is the basis of all nft . . . And we all know the valuation of ethereum has collapsed from $3000 range to now $1100 range.
I'm sure that would be yet another important topic for them to communicate about..
Just yesterday I commented about the heavy loss of value in Crypto and my concerns about Helio/Cyio not updating us shareholders on their status and our cash flow and financial conditions caused by this CRYPTO sell off.
Well here today I'm showing an article just out today that talks about just how big this issue is and how widely it is effecting CEFI and DEFI and exchange providers.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/crypto-liquidations-spike-480m-last-100609020.html
The descent of Crypto the last 30/45 days has been stunning to any entities that do CE FI or DEFI activities. I would think Helio/Cyio would have recognized the imperative need to report to shareholders how they are doing as far as liquidity and ongoing operating income and/or cash flow - certainly not to discuss any profitability - but rather to communicate survive-ability and the status of their credit lines and sustainability until parts of their operation can be continuing ongoing operations.
Are they caught up in margin situations with clients ?
How has Helio's reserves fared since the drops in Ether to 1150 or BitCoin to 21000.
What is the status of the NFT products and their joint venture regarding Slam Girl?
Has Helio had any "corrective situation" requirements from Australia in the past 60 days? And how about our credit lines ?
There are now many NEW questions that CYIO/Helio needs to respond to as this weekend has shown highly risky issues in the Crypto area.
Crypto has shown that it is not a protection against inflation.
Crypto has shown it can rapidly not only lose large value - but can rapidly de-stabilize when clients crypto holdings and borrowings can force substantial financial pressure against the entities involved in exchanges and borrowings.
Just as importantly - the largest crypto items are equally vulnerable as the small ones. Imagine if you have substantial crypto holdings at Celsius and it is frozen for exchanges and withdrawals or sales. Everyone is frozen regardless of your equity position as the articles are stating.
And CYIO/Helio - what financial footing are they sitting at? Are there margin issues with their clients currently? And will NFT sales and auctions be delayed even further with Ethereum just barely hanging above 1200.00. And is there any concerns about Helio's credit line ?
Unbelievable.
Surfkast . . . . lets just clarify your posts today.
You posted at just after 9:00 this morning that you emailed Daniella Vargas and that just after 3:00 this afternoon (6 hours from when you emailed her) you still hadn't heard anything back.
I'm confused - what makes you think:
a. she would respond ever ???
b. what makes you think she's sitting around waiting for you to contact her today?
c. What makes you think she would even see your email or any email today?
d. You're not a shareholder of her company are you ?
e. Why do you assume she needs to respond to a total stranger asking strange questions of her ?
Refreshing my memory.
Surfkast and others,
These recent posts caused me to "go back in memory" to days gone by and info releases as well.
And that memory refresher reminded me of part of the concerns that originally developed for me regarding the makeup of the advisory committee.
CYIO started their committee with what I always thought was a strong announcement about the Danielle Dragas signing as an initial advisory member- her experience in positively effecting Bear Stearn's and then her success in starting a large and successful finance company of over 13 years and still succeeding - represented both Crypto, larger scale financing domestically and beyond as well as real estate financing was not only logical but also what seems like a great fit.
But at the time I had forgotten that there was a SEPARATE release about the signing of 3 other members - likely they came from the May conference which reflected their (CYIO's) belief that cannabis dealers were a likely target - and those 3 members added were all primarily cannabis related and agenda with only one of those have any long term experience in business. So you had Dragas with a primary experience background in our market potential - and 3 members who were primarily cannabis focused and Paloma Pay (2 of the members) - not even a fully functioning business (a startup by the very smallest of experience).
I remember at the time being concerned that the single May conference and flowery releases and then a heavy dose of cannabis related interest members after that conference seemed to alter the focus to something I thought was very poorly directed - bucking the FED and Banking components of the U.S. and federal regulations about banks and cannabis dealers.
I can only imagine that just like CYIO's thinking they could just get their stock symbol changed (and that never happened) - they also quickly found out whjat we all new - which is that being a public company is not a license to do whatever you want to - relating cannabis with Crypto.
Hulk I think you're missing two key points:
Point 1. Eventually - the crypto market could turn around again - but this time there is no Elon Musk fire starter - and this time Crypto exchanges and quantities of crypto have multiplied greatly and some have suffered greatly. The word Crypto has a much different meaning today than it did in 2021 even thought the definition is the same.
So everything you said could come true but it could be 5 or 8 years from now and could be entirely different laws and regulation in the next 12 months.
The problems of 2008 effected the market greatly till later 2013.
Point 2. The last time we had a serious recession was a long time ago - and at the very same time that happened - we didn't even have 20% of the debt levels we have now as a country and personal debt levels are very large too. But most importantly - many many many believed Crypto was a hedge against inflation or currency fluctuations - as well as a very safe storage secure from theft. But history the last 7 months has shown that neither of those assumptions was true and is not true and crypto does not work like Silver and Gold and has seen significant theft or physical loss potential.
And the big concern for CYIO is even on important events and news - while the share price is pathetic - the trading volume is far far worse - which to me says that few if any are actively following this little known stock any longer and consider it high risk instead of its previous perception of high skill and high opportunity - as a result it will take much more effort and much more time to alter this last 2 years history. This is not a market situation - its a specific stock situation IMO. And today the definition of recovery is not a return to its historic highs but rather a return to less than 50% of the value when Helio agreed to be acquired (25 cents or less).
I'm replying to my own prior post - because I believe I made an omission to that previous post.
My points in the prior post were all valid in my opinion - but there is that one gaping topic I've posted on numerous times yet I failed to mention it today.
What should Helio have been doing and still be doing? Take advantage of my favorite Advisory Member for CYIO. We (CYIO the company) seemed to focus far far far too much attention on cannabis and far too little on the types of expertise one of our Advisory Board Members ALREADY had.
In the past Ive mentioned her name many times in hopes we'd start getting her more involved in the company using or listening to her:

Why is she a potential important voice Helio should have been listening and watching ? Well She opened up Bear Stearns efforts years ago to great success. Then she created a succeeding company the last dozen+ years that has grown and flourished nationally and internationally.
Yet the other Advisory members were all cannabis focused and not a central potential of what Helio "could have been doing".
I've mentioned her name and potential benefit often.
She has a history of successes and making smart moves - something we don't have a history of IMO.
Surfkast,
I believe Helio needs to develop a method that it can legitimately operate in the U.S. and not merely out of Australia.
And creating the exchange in Australia was not nearly as unique and groundbreaking as they seemed to it would be. There are many exchanges and even as Helio was announcing its plans for developing the exchange - other bigger players were already implementing theirs. As a public company in the U.S. they need to be operating in the U.S. for U.S. residents in some fashion because its a big market and they need something that is not a "me too" concept.
I believe they thought being part of a public company would allow them to duplicate what they were doing in Australia "just because" and already in January 2021 I have posted that the concerns of Biden picks for cabinet and Fed etc.. were going to be a concern about that pattern of thinking.
Here's why I believe Helio needs to be more creative - a public U.S. owned company - that must exclude U.S. citizen's from participating is either "implied" Helio is reckless or - or its implied exclusionary of the very market they belong to.
JMHO
An example article of what I had just posted.
This article doesn't predict Bitcoin going back down to $3500 or the demise of an exchange - but it certainly shows a very changing trend that CYIO/Helio needs to understand:

The real life uncertainties of crypto are becoming known.
Crypto related concerns and CYIO
Unlike many - crypto, cannabis dealers, and CBD were never big draws for me - primarily because each is unregulated or not sanctioned by the Federal or banking - so the uncertainty of those areas is great.
But just in the last few days I've be doing significant reading on some of the big uncertainties that are showing up for crypto - stocks like Coin and MSTR and Lund and Terra - each potentially have declined greatly but could become almost extinct or big project repairs. And others are just as worrisome
Even Cathie Woods is expressing concerns relating to her crypto investments as the likelihood of mandated regulations are going to be more periless as the stocks with crypto exchanges or those doing DeFI and CeFi loans and the potential for margin losses.
I'm hoping situations like Slam Girl potential can help CYIO avoid much of the risk pure crypto represents but of course ethereum is currently down to 1760 again.
I would not want to be holding various crypto related coin at this time - predictions are one of the more recognized names could disappear - almost as lund & terra almost did. IMO
Surfkast,
Stock Scams in general - 26 years
OTC related - about 15 years
I don't recall surfkast ever being bullish on any stock in any of his posts . . . But I was bullish on cyio in 2019 and early and middle of 2020 based on opportunities they had. Alas they never took advantage of those opportunities.
Cutting the cord too early.
Surfkast,
Are you saying that a company that is financially failing - can't ever recover or adapt to change ?
That's just not reasonable - I've personally seen it happen several times.
Financials demonstrate the past of a company - but can't predict the future as much as you'd like to say it does. Why? Because the change in a key person or two can alter the results suddenly or slowly . I've seen it happen - I've been involved in making it happen.
The key is - making smart moves instead of dumb ones. And keeping whatever is working - working or keeping it impressing others. CYIO has squandered numerous opportunities and precious time IMO and cost shareholders in share price pain, time, and frustration. BUT it always could have been fixed or at least improved from what we've experienced. Could this be a long delayed start ? Maybe this is the start of something smart - more importantly not just a single smart thing done only once - but a continuation which is what makes weak companies into stronger (even thriving) businesses.
I hate it when some business leader says "they are in it for the long haul" when it should be - "we're in it for the sucessful haul.
JMHO
