Washington Dispensary Now Takes Bitcoin for Cannabis

Silk Road may be dead, but in at least one Washington State city, people can still buy marijuana and related products using bitcoin.
Medical marijuana dispensary Kouchlock Productions, which opened on Monday February 3, began accepting bitcoin for its wares this week. The dispensary, based in Spokane, is said to already have sold the drug in several bitcoin transactions.
In Washington State, medical dispensaries were legalized in 1998, under initiative 692. This allows dispensaries to sell the drug to patients with terminal or debilitating medical conditions including cancer, HIV-positive status, hepatitis C, and anorexia. A patient can be granted a permit by a naturopath.
While medical mariijuana dispensaries are legal in the state, they are still federally illegal, which makes it difficult for them to process credit cards. This makes bitcoin a useful alternative for them.
Along with Colorado, Washington State legalized pot use in November 2012. Washington’s measure, Initiative 502, allows for the drug to be purchased from licensed retailers. License applications opened late last year.
Paradoxically, now that I502 has been passed, the days could be numbered for medical dispensaries. State Representative Eileen Cody has proposed a bill that would limit the amount of pot that patients (as opposed to non-patients) could possess.
The reasoning is that the untaxed medical dispensary business would undercut the legal business, which will be subject to taxes. The current limit for patient-owned pot is 24 ounces in any form, whereas I502 allows for personal possession of one ounce of usable marijuana.
Counter staff at Kouchlock Productions confirmed that the company was now accepting bitcoin. However store owner Scott O’Neil did not respond to questions yesterday. News reports suggest that the store plans to transition to a non-medical licensed retailer when licenses become available. Eventually, it is estimated that there will be hundreds of retail outlets in the state.
Some businesses are hoping to extend beyond simply selling the drug, which the government will also now allow to be grown for non-medical purposes.
Revenues from marijuana sales, both legal and illegal, amounts to around $1.2bn a year in Washington state, according to public policy research. 80% of the pot is said to be consumed by 200,000 particularly heavy users. In Colorado, where retailers are already open, taxes from the pot business were estimated to be between $1.24m and $3m in the first 30 days of operation.
Alaska is said to be close to becoming the third state to legalize pot, and entrepreneurs are getting interested. Diego Pellicer, founded by former Microsoft manager Jamen Shively, is building a brand of marijuana products, in the hope that the product will become legal in all states over the next ten years.
Bitcoin users can’t legally order their marijuana over the Internet. I502 does not allow for home delivery or Internet orders, but nevertheless, home delivery based on phone orders is already a common under-the-radar occurrence in Eastern Washington.
It is now legal to own an ounce of weed, and lawmakers have said that they consider how it is delivered to be irrelevant. Law enforcement are said anecdotally to be disinterested in investigating these services, and they continue to flourish in advance of retail businesses opening this spring.
Big Online Shopping First: Overstock.com to Take Bitcoin
(Newser) – Overstock.com has become the first major online retailer to accept Bitcoin, meaning users of the digital currency can now use it for one-stop shopping for everything from lawn chairs to laptops. Chief exec Patrick Byrne says he "believes in limited government, and the controversial currency "attracts me because it is a form of money that no government mandarin can will it into existence," the Wall Street Journal reports. Hot new San Francisco startup Coinbase will be handling the Bitcoin payments.
With the price of Bitcoin more volatile than ever, is Byrne making a huge gamble? Not so, according to Cade Metz at Wired. "Overstock has little to lose and much to gain," he writes, noting that while this is a big moment in the currency's history, the actual volume of Bitcoin payments is likely to remain fairly low. Byrne believes using the currency will work out a lot cheaper than going through processors like PayPal, and his company's trailblazing move may push other retailers like Amazon to start accepting Bitcoin.

2 Bitcoin Stocks To Watch Closely
Feb. 7, 2014 2:35 AM ET | About: TUCND, WPCS, Includes: BITCN, OSTK
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. (More...)
Editors' Note: This article covers a stock trading at less than $1 per share and/or with less than a $100 million market cap. Please be aware of the risks associated with these stocks.
"I'm a big fan of Bitcoin … Regulation of money supply needs to be depoliticized." -Al Gore, Former US Vice President and Winner of Nobel Peace Prize
Do you believe in the Bitcoin revolution and do you want to invest in Bitcoin related stocks, then you don't have a lot of investment choices on the US Capital Markets. There are just a few stocks that are Bitcoin related.
Before I talk about these two stocks, I would suggest reading the article Why Bitcoin Matters.
This article will give you more insight about the world of Bitcoin; it is written by Marc Andreessen. His venture capital firm, Andreessen Horowitz, has invested around $50 million in Bitcoin-related start-ups.
Up until now I came across two companies that are Bitcoin orientated. Here we go.
WPCS International
Currently WPCS International (WPCS) operates in two business segments:
providing communications infrastructure contracting services and;
developing a Bitcoin trading platform, called www.btxtrader.com.
The Windows-based trading platform could especially be a game changer. BTXtrader allows U.S. citizens easy access to the complex world of bitcoin trading. By operating one of the world's leading bitcoin trading platforms, WPCS International offers investors direct exposure to the rapidly growing bitcoin services market. BTXtrader looks and acts like a traditional stock trading platform. Users can see real-time, up-to-the-second price quotes of bitcoins around the world. BTXtrader allows users to route orders to buy and sell bitcoins (and fractional bitcoins) across six of the largest bitcoin exchanges, including industry leader Mt. Gox. BTXtrader users also receive real-time bids and offers from all five exchanges, providing the most comprehensive depth-of-market view for bitcoins in operation today.
The WPCS trading product is expected in the second quarter of 2014 and it should be generating revenue for the company by mid-year.
An interesting company to watch going forward.
One of the most common complaints about Bitcoin is that you can't use it to buy anything practical. The second company will offer you the chance to buy almost everything you need.
Bitcoin Shop Inc.
This newly listed company is called Bitcoin Shop Inc, formerly known as Touchit Technologies. The ticker code is still OTCQB:TUCND but will be changed to BTCS. Yesterday's price was $3.31.
After doing a little research I found out the following. Bitcoinshop.us is an e-commerce site which is an Amazon affiliate. It already exists since June last year, when entrepreneurs Michal Handerhan and Tim Sidie, two former NASA engineers, started their business.
As mentioned the website, bitcoinshop.us is an Amazon affiliate but you can order with bitcoins.
There are more than 120,000 items for sale across 400 categories - books, electronics, sporting goods, even toys.
Since it is not yet widely accepted, I guess BitcoinShop's strongest selling area is electronics, because of tech-oriented Bitcoin believers.
Online retailers that only accept dollars by way of credit cards have to pay transaction fees that are typically passed on to consumers. BitcoinShop is pricing all its items in dollars and then converting those prices into bitcoins on the fly. The calculations are reset every 10 minutes, fast enough to keep up with Bitcoin's occasional wild swings.
Bitcoinshop.us will directly compete with Overstock.com (OSTK). This big online retailer recently announced acceptance of bitcoins for payment. On the first day of sales with bitcoins, they reported $126,000 in bitcoin transactions.
Final Note
As the Bitcoin economy expands and is widely more accepted, investors have several opportunities to invest in this cryptocurrency.
The two stocks mentioned here are for high-risk investors that have a strong belief in the Bitcoin as a virtual currency.

TUCN revenue has increased by 50% !!!
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/10-qa-touchit-technologies-inc-2014-01-28-131663149
revenue has increased by 50%[color=red][/color] !!! NET SALES (REVENUE) - For the first nine months of the year, quarter ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, revenue has increased by 50% or by $490,046 from 983,949 to $1,473,995
NET SALES (REVENUE) - For the first nine months of the year, quarter ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, revenue has increased by 50% or by $490,046 from 983,949 to $1,473,995. This increase can be attributed to a change in strategy by Management. Our going forward sales activity reflects our management's plan of increasing focus on the development of recurring business in existing and new markets for the new Interactive LED Line. Our management does anticipate that revenues will continue to grow for the balance of the year due to the LED product line which represents a much larger value ticket item which will drive revenues higher and the current back order that the Company has built up.
GROSS PROFIT - For the first nine months of the year, quarter ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, gross profit has increased by $180,835 from $298,460 to $479,295. This is primarily due to the restructuring of the business over the last year and the focus on the more profitable LED product line. Our management does anticipate gross profits to continue to rise for the balance of the year.
OPERATIONAL PROFIT - For the first nine months of the year, quarter ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, operational profit has increased from a loss of ($39,743) to $118,184 an increase of $78,441. This can be attributed to the Management's focus on reducing overhead costs to maximize profitability when revenues increase.

Technical Chart Play!
The GYST chart is ready for a nice POP!
We are Alerting GYST as a nice Technical Chart Play. We are hearing that other groups will be alerting this stock as well so we should be able to get a nice run out of it. From a chart perspective we simply need to break the 20MA at .0013 with volume, and then the stock should run nicely. The last run took the stock to .005 area and I expect a similar run this time as well. There is also the chance that NEWS could drop as well which would fuel to the fire. The Company did put out an interesting PR back in November that said they were ahead of schedule and planned to make more progress within about 2-3 months which puts us right on that time frame now. This could turn out to be a real nice runner. Lets get it past the .0013 resistance and see how high it can go. If the other groups join in as I am hearing they will this could be the perfect set up.
