Block One Capital Inc. Announces Mining Operation is Live in Montana, USA
https://futuremoneytrader.com/crypto-market-news/block-one-capital-inc-announces-mining-operation-live-montana-usa
Block One Capital Inc. (TSXV:BLOK) (OTCQB:BKPPF), an investment company focused on high growth opportunities in the blockchain and digital currency mining sector, is pleased to announce that its investee company: TG12 Ventures Inc. (“TG12”) has commenced mining Bitcoin.
“We are pleased that TG12 has begun generating revenue and look forward to ramping up our mining capacity over the coming months. The audit procedures that are being implemented both remotely and physically will allow us to effectively gauge the potential growth of the operation moving forward,” said Mr. Sothi Thillairajah, CEO of Block One.
Co-location at Montana, USA – 320 Megawatt Compound
After a comprehensive review of the original site in Montreal selected for co-location, TG12 chose to co-locate the mining operation in Montana. The primary factors that led to the change were operational and cost efficiency – the contracted cost of power in Montana will be USD $0.031 per kwH. Furthermore, the facility in Montana has four times more air circulation space allowing for cooler room temperatures, thereby improving the miner’s overall efficiency and allowing for significant future scalability.
TG12 was able to have the shipment of the miners rerouted to the Montana location ensuring that a setback in commencing mining of Bitcoin did not occur.

Aurora Cannabis Exports Dried Cannabis Flower and Oils to Australia for Novel Nose-to-Brain Drug Delivery Research by PreveCeutical
https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/aurora-cannabis-exports-dried-cannabis-flower-and-oils-to-australia-for-novel-nosetobrain-drug-20180313-00502
EDMONTON, Alberta and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NetworkWire - Aurora Cannabis Inc. ("Aurora") (TSX:ACB) (OTCQB:ACBFF) (Frankfurt:21P) (WKN:A1C4WM) and PreveCeutical Medical Inc. ("PreveCeutical") (CSE:PREV) (OTCQB:PRVCF) (Frankfurt:18H) today announced the grant of three permits by the Australian Government, Department of Health, for the importation of cannabis into Australia for research purposes (the "Permits").
The Permits were granted to the Pharmacy Australia Centre of Excellence ("PACE") at the University of Queensland ("UQ") and allow PACE to import shipments of cannabis plant material for research purposes. Aurora, in turn, has received the required Canadian permits to export the cannabis to PACE.
The cannabis will be shipped from Canada by Aurora and used for PreveCeutical's soluble gel ("Sol-gel") drug delivery research program (the "Program"), which is being conducted by PreveCeutical's research partner UniQuest Pty Inc. and led by PreveCeutical's Chief Research Officer, Dr. Harendra Parekh. The Program aims to develop a system that will increase the bioavailability of drugs by using a nose-to-brain delivery system.
PreveCeutical intends to apply Sol-gel technology to cannabinoids to develop therapies for relief from a range of symptoms, including pain, inflammation, seizures and neurological disorders (see news release dated April 24, 2017). The Permits will enable PreveCeutical to test an array of cannabis strains for the development and commercialisation of cannabinoid-based Sol-gels. The advantages of Sol-gels over conventional liquid nasal sprays relate to longer therapeutic effects, reduced dosage requirements, and reduced irritation and other negative side effects.
In consideration of the shipment, Aurora has received certain rights, including the option to either license, on a non-exclusive basis, the technology for Canada and Australia, or to opt for a royalty arrangement on product sales, as well as to purchase shares in PreveCeutical.
"We see an important market for cannabis-based products that are more narrowly targeted at specific therapeutic areas but that are higher value add and being involved with initiatives such as PreveCeutical's is part of our strategy to gain access to these types of products," said Terry Booth, CEO of Aurora.
PreveCeutical's CEO and Chairman, Mr. Stephen Van Deventer added, "We are extremely excited to receive the Permits, allowing us to further our Sol-gel research program with the high quality cannabis products provided by Aurora. The goal of the Program is to cultivate a range of therapies that will benefit people with ailments such as epilepsy, pain and inflammation, safely and economically."

How Blockchain Technology is Changing the World
https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/18/03/b11330080/how-blockchain-technology-is-changing-the-world#/null
The end of 2017 and into the beginning of 2018 has brought new terminology into the mainstream. That terminology is Blockchain and Cryptocurrency (or "crypto" as the kids are calling it). The market went through its typical hype phase where merely mentioning either of those buzzwords would see blockchain stocks soar to unthinkable heights.
Now that investors have had a taste of this sector and have become much more familiar with the market, it comes as no surprise that what "crypto 2.0" will bring is a waive of traders using due diligence and investigative research to make investment decisions. This is in stark comparison to simply depending on hype as many cryptocurrency & blockchain-tech investors did early on.
A Real Opportunity for Investors!
The rising market cap of cryptocurrencies and initial coin offerings, greater demand for simplified business processes, transparency as well as the ability to handle faster transactions has greatly added to the attention on this new industry. Surely the digital currencies have become more mainstream, but it has been blockchain technology that has taken center stage to become the next global disruptor.
Blockchain-as-a-Service is also showing to be able to fuel the growth of this market. The further adoption of blockchain for communication service providers, the growth of international trade, supply chain management, and greater acceptance of blockchain for payments, has created real opportunities for the advancement of this market. This has been a main reason as to why investors are doing much more research into the real viability of some of the underlying companies.
The Informed Investor Will Be the One to Profit
Unlike companies like Long Blockchain Corp (LBCC) who literally changed their business model over night to capitalize on the hype phase of the market early on, you've also got companies like Block One Capital (BKPPF) (BLOK.V) who are making a real play at the ground floor of the blockchain/crypto opportunity.
It's important to keep in mind that the global blockchain market size is expected to grow from $315.9 million in 2015 to $20 billion by the end of 2024 according to research from Transparency Market Research. The demand for what's known as "distributed ledger technology," has increased based on the technology being capable of greatly reducing total costs of business transactions, for example.
Where Block One Capital has come to play is dually in the technological advancements of blockchain technology in addition to capitalizing on the rising prices for cryptocurrencies by leveraging digital mining options. Right now the company has three key divisions that could be very ripe for revenue generation:
1. Finzat Block LLC: A Blockchain Solution for the US Mortgage Industry
Block One acquired 40% of Finzat Block LLC. The company is a New York based mortgage blockchain company and they are looking to streamline as well as digitize the US mortgage market. By using blockchain technology, they plan to deploy applications that will create a system which is Simple, Auditable, Fault-tolerant and Efficient or "SAFE".
Since the mortgage industry is nearly a $10 trillion business, leveraging the blockchain could drastically evolve the marketplace to put in further controls. Block One Capital could quickly transform the US mortgage collateral and compliance marketplace as we know it.
2. TG12 Ventures Inc.: Cryptocurrency Mining
Block One has acquired the majority share interest (90%) of TG12 Ventures Inc. The company is a cryptocurrency mining company that is in the process of bringing online a cryptocurrency mining operation in the Mid-Western United States.
As blockchain technology continues to evolve industries of scale, TG12 will be taking advantage of the more near-term opportunity with cryptocurrency mining. The company has already received the first shipment of miners and expects that 1,000 miners will be operational by the end of March. Think about this for a moment: the global cryptocurrency market is over $300 billion, and you have things like Bitcoin that have paved the way for exponential growth of other digital assets across the globe.
3. CUIPO: A Social Initiative for Rainforest Preservation
Block One acquired "up to 40% of OMAAT LTD. dba CUIPO." This is a company is based in London UK and uses blockchain technology to digitize and democratize the purchase and preservation of natural land assets. It's a interesting market in and of itself whereby the distributed leger system could play a vital role.
CUIPO specializes in developing technologies and infrastructure to save and protect endangered lands. The initial target is to scale the company via its registered brands: Cuipo, Dance for One Meter, and CuipoCoin to protect 1 billion square meters of rainforest.
The Future of Blockchain Technology Is Closer Than You Think
But as many have come to find, explaining the future possibilities of blockchain today is like trying to explain the future possibilities of the internet in the early 90s. This is still a very obscure industry yet the opportunities for blockchain technology to infiltrate and enhance every day life are greatly abundant.
A recent IBM commercial about how food safety is improved when food can be tracked on the blockchain does little to educate anyone on what that technology is but it has brought this idea into the mainstream.
North America is expected to be a key driver to the increased global revenue of the blockchain technology market in the coming years. The general acceptance and appeal of blockchain technology in the United States is also likely to boost the regional market in the coming years.
Also keep in mind that you've got Asia-Pacific on the heels of universal adoption of cryptocurrencies and further advancements in blockchain applications. It would clearly stand to reason that the entire world is on the verge of a real paradigm shift with blockchain technology taking a leading role.
Right now, there are numerous early stage opportunities that are presenting themselves that could later lead to a healthy mergers and acquisitions climate via possible roll-up strategies by larger companies like IBM, Cisco Systems, Oracle, and even Apple. Just like the dot com boom at the beginning of the 21st century, small, key players could offer the greatest opportunities for investors willing to take on some near-term risk.
Hilltop Cybersecurity to Launch Early Warning System for a New Form of Cyber Attack
https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/hilltop-cybersecurity-to-launch-early-warning-system-for-a-new-form-of-cyber-attack-20180308-00613
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hilltop Cybersecurity Inc, ("Hilltop" or the "Company"). (CSE:CYBX) (OTC:BGGWF), is pleased to announce that it has begun pre-launch testing of its prototype Early Warning System for advanced cyber-threats. The Early Warning System is an enhancement to Hilltop's patented Vauban cybersecurity platform, which automates the management of cyber-attacks for business customers. The early warning technology is designed to counter a new form of cyber-threat, called a "fileless-attack", which is able to bypass existing network sensors.
Corby Marshall, CEO of Hilltop Cybersecurity, said, "Businesses are under threat from a new form of cyber assault, called a fileless-attack. This new cybercrime tool is particularly insidious because it does not use malware or malicious payloads to breach a company network, and therefore it is able bypass all the existing sensors that networks have it place. Most small and medium-sized businesses simply don't have the internal resources to defend against this new threat, which is why we have developed a new layer of automated protection that actively hunts these threats.
Marshall, added, "We see the recent transaction with Phantom Cybersecurity by Splunk (NASDAQ) for $350M USD(https://www.splunk.com) as additional validation that, even in volatile markets, investments in the right technologies are accelerating. The crypto-currency market continues to show volatility and instability, however, the demand for the cyber tools and infrastructure, which is our core focus at Hilltop, will only increase."
News Highlights
Hilltop Cybersecurity will be launching an Early Warning System to combat a new cyberthreat call "fileless attacks"
The Vauban Early Warning System continuously and automatically searches for indicators of attack
The new system will be fully integrated into Hilltop's patented, military-grade cybersecurity platform
Tom Gilmore, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), for Hilltop Cybersecurity, commented, "The Vauban Early Warning System gives businesses a pro-active, automated capability to identify attacks so they are not just waiting for signatures to be triggered in firewalls or intrusion detection systems. We are weaponizing the data our customers already have, allowing a business' cyberdefense system to locate, close with, and destroy attackers using fire and maneuver, in cyberspace."
The Vauban Early Warning System continuously searches for indicators of attack by looking for four types of events: Command and Control, Persistence, Privilege Escalation, and Lateral Movement. Events are collected from every endpoint in the enterprise including workstations, laptops, and servers; then analyzed to determine whether it is a threat, and if so, the level of threat the event poses to the organization. If the event is determined to be a legitimate threat, it is then processed through Vauban's patented incident response engine.
Hilltop will begin customer testing of the Early Warning System in April 2018 with a planned full commercial release in June 2018.

ELOWNA, British Columbia, March 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hilltop Cybersecurity Inc, (“Hilltop” or the “Company”) (CSE:CYBX) (OTC:BGGWF), is pleased to announce that is has developed a cryptocurrency wallet protected by biometric security. The prototype device uses Hilltop’s patented biometric cryptocurrency security technology to protect and store crypto-coins and private keys in cold-storage.
The new device is designed to combat the wave of attacks on cryptocurrency users and exchanges, which have resulted in thefts in the hundreds of millions. The biometric technology serves as the private key to asymmetrical keys, meaning that the device cannot be accessed without the users’ biometric data (such as a thumbprint).
Corby Marshall, CEO of Hilltop Cybersecurity, said, "As cryptocurrency continues to grow, so does the intensity of criminal activity, as the recent $534M hack of NEM (XEM) shows. The industry has to embrace security if it is to thrive. Hilltop’s biometrically-secured wallet is the result of our pioneering research and development in cryptocurrency security and a commitment to giving our customers enterprise cyber-security as opposed to point solutions.”

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NetworkWire -- PreveCeutical Medical Inc. (the “Company” or “PreveCeutical”) (CSE:PREV) (OTCQB:PRVCF) (FSE:18H), announces that, further to its news release dated August 8, 2017, it has entered into a research and option agreement (the “Research Agreement”), with the University of Queensland (“UQ”) and UniQuest Pty Limited (“UniQuest”), UQ’s main commercialisation company. Pursuant to the Research Agreement, the parties intend to conduct a research program (the “Research Program”) which expands the use of their disulfide linker technology and seeks to develop non-addictive analgesics for the treatment of pain, which may offer an alternative to addictive opioids. The opioid epidemic has led to significant numbers of opioid-related deaths and addictions, taxing public health care systems and affecting social and economic welfare.
The multiphase Research Program will involve peptide library synthesis pharmacological evaluation, and acute pharmacokinetic assessment and efficacy determinations in appropriate models of pain and inflammation.
The Research Program
The Research Program has a targeted start date of March 1, 2018, and will be led by UQ researcher and PreveCeutical’s Chief Research Officer, Dr. Harendra Parekh, in collaboration with the UQ School of Pharmacy’s pain and inflammation pharmacology expert, Associate Professor Peter Cabot.
Pursuant to the Research Agreement, PreveCeutical will own all intellectual property developed under the Research Program and will be granted an option to negotiate an exclusive, worldwide licence to UniQuest’s background intellectual property. As consideration for the licence, the Company will pay UniQuest sales-based royalties and certain amounts upon the achievement of predetermined development milestones.
$PRVCF : CBD Delivery System
PreveCeutical is also developing a proprietary gel application, called Sol-gels, for delivering a CBD-based medical cannabis formulation directly to the brain. Sol-gels are taken via nasal (systemic) administration and rapidly gel upon contact with mucosal tissue, which paves the way for direct nose-to-brain delivery. This effectively bypasses the stomach and intestines – eliminating first-pass metabolism – and may dramatically improve bioavailability, even compared to nasal sprays and other newer delivery systems. Additionally, the gel stays in the nasal passages, slowly releasing the CBD while keeping it active for up to seven days. The ease of application and its long-lasting effects may be attractive for patients when compared to other delivery systems.
Diabetes:
The company’s four-year program targeting diabetes and obesity seeks also to engineer a therapy that recognizes a gene common and overactive in the two ailments. The therapy would “silence” the gene — turning it off to prevent the overproduction of a protein molecule believed to play a role in the declines commonly associated with diabetes and obesity.
I like the Cannabis and Diabetes potential !!!
CBD Delivery System
Sol-gel will be the 1st FDA-approved, CBD-based nose-to-brain delivery system of its kind to provide relief for pain, inflammation,seizures and neurological disorders. Prev's proprietary nasal formulations will be designed for use by both adults and children. $ACBFF ?
DIABETES
The company is also currently working with four leading Australian research centers to develop a curative therapy for diabetes and obesity. This is a novel four-year program selectively targeting the gene that encodes for the protein PTP-1B, implicated and over-expressed in both Type-2 diabetes and obesity.
Notably, PreveCeutical's innovative gene-silencing technology would effectively disable the genetic signal that leads to over-production of PTP-1B. This would bring this protein down to safe, normalized levels that would prevent the body from storing excessive fat.
https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/fast-growing-cannabis-industry-drives-biotech-research-innovative-medical-therapy-development-671078863.html
Fast-Growing Cannabis Industry Drives Biotech Research, Innovative Medical Therapy Development
Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, PreveCeutical Medical Inc. (CSE: PREV) (OTCQB: PRVCF) (FSE:18H) started out in 2009 as a partnership between established businessman and venture capitalist Stephen Van Deventer, and entrepreneur Kimberley Van Deventer. The synergy of the pair's respective aptitudes led to the creation of Cornerstone Global Partners, a venture capital and business development company.
Today, PreveCeutical is a life science company that researches and develops innovative solutions for preventative and curative therapies through a combination of organic and Nature Identical™ products. With the preventative healthcare technologies market expected to reach $432 billion by 2024 http://nnw.fm/UF8u8, the company has made a strategic decision to focus on warding off illness in the medically acute areas of diabetes, obesity, pain management, neurological disorders and cancer.
By maintaining a diverse portfolio of novel compounds and products, PreveCeutical is able to compete in several niches of the health care industry, including immunity-boosting sciences and medicinal cannabis.
PreveCeutical has a product, CELLB9®, an oral dilute solution utilizing select peptides from the blue scorpion, found only in the Caribbean region. PreveCeutical's "Nature Identical" research team is building on proprietary chemistry to produce controlled venom peptides that it hopes will be able to halt the progression of cancers, while also exploring the peptides' potential in responding to other medical concerns related to pain management, metabolic disorders, cancers, cardiovascular conditions and infectious diseases.
PreveCeutical is currently in a joint venture with Sports 1 Marketing to focus on the therapeutic potential of the Natural Identical venom's peptides and proteins to treat mild brain injury concussions in athletes.
The company is also currently working with four leading Australian research centers to develop a curative therapy for diabetes and obesity. This is a novel four-year program selectively targeting the gene that encodes for the protein PTP-1B, implicated and over-expressed in both Type-2 diabetes and obesity.
Globally, over $800 billion is spent on diabetes, with one person dying every six seconds from the disease http://nnw.fm/2OqnS in 2014, presenting to PreveCeutical significant market opportunity and the potential to alter the diabetes landscape.
Notably, PreveCeutical's innovative gene-silencing technology would effectively disable the genetic signal that leads to over-production of PTP-1B. This would bring this protein down to safe, normalized levels that would prevent the body from storing excessive fat.
PreveCeutical's Groundbreaking Sol-Gel Delivery System
PreveCeutical in November announced its approval from the Environmental Hazards Unit of the Queensland Government (the Australian state-level authority) to acquire, store and use high-quality dried cannabis plant extracts, paving the way for the company to advance its R&D program for the commercialization of a new system for administering the drug http://nnw.fm/47wwI .
The company believes its Sol-gel platform will be the first FDA-approved, CBD-based nose-to-brain delivery system of its kind to provide relief for pain, inflammation, seizures and neurological disorders. PreveCeutical's proprietary nasal formulations will be designed for use by both adults and children. The company expects to have this delivery platform fully tested, approved and primed for deployment to licensed medical cannabis companies in 2019.
PreveCeutical's Sol-gels are taken via nasal administration. They gel rapidly on contact with mucosal tissue, paving the way for direct nose-to-brain delivery. By circumventing first-pass metabolism in the stomach, intestines and liver, bioavailability may be dramatically improved, even compared to other nasal sprays and alternative delivery systems. The gel stays in the nasal passages, providing controlled CBD release while maintaining activity for up to seven days. Its ease of application, long-lasting effects and absence of negative side-effects may make it attractive for patients over other delivery systems.
The Company's Development and Management Team
PreveCeutical Medical's research team is led by Dr. Harendra Parekh, Ph.D., based at the Pharmacy Australia Centre of Excellence (PACE) at the University of Queensland. He is joined by Chief Science Officer Dr. Makarand Jawadekar, Ph.D., who has 28 years of experience in R&D with Pfizer Inc. They are supported by research collaborators, Dr. Rakesh Veedu and Professor Grant Ramm. Dr. Veedu is an emerging international expert in molecular medicine, while Professor Ramm is currently head of a leading medical research institute in Brisbane, Australia.
PreveCeutical also partners with industry experts and companies in its drive to establish a leadership position in the preventative health sciences sector. Its research and development partnership with the University of Queensland's commercialization company, UniQuest, grants PreveCeutical rights to all intellectual property arising from projects created by the partnership.
The Company's management team has extensive experience in research, product development, deep corporate strategy development and leadership in capital markets. PreveCeutical is re-capitalizing to fund its ambitious research and development program. Following a private placement completed in July 2017, the company expects the next round of financing to close in mid-February.
A recent Crystal Equity Research report summarizes the company's differentiated endeavors in health care, highlighting PreveCeutical's ability to raise the capital needed to execute its business plans.
"Our bullish view on PreveCeutical Medical is influenced by the Company's plans to bring novel therapeutic compounds to the market at a time when the preventative health care market is entering a period of rapid growth. Management has demonstrated the ability to garner investor support and raise capital at a critical time in its development agenda, a recognized key to success for any health sciences company. Management has also been successful in securing research and development talent through a strategic relationship with a respected and successful academic institution," reads the report (http://nnw.fm/Ho4v2).

Cryptocurrency Technology Will Require Major New Security Measures
http://usanewsgroup.com/2017/11/17/crypto-currency-technology-will-require-major-security-measures/
Cryptocurrency Is About to Change the Way We All Make and Spend Money
Bitcoin’s price surpassed $17,000 per coin for the first time ever this month, surging past another milestone that critics believed it could ever reach. This bullish trend generally extended through the other altcoin markets too, allowing the crypto market cap to reach all-time highs.
Cryptocurrencies are revolutionizing the economy and investors are looking for ways to profit as their values soar. We have surveyed the blockchain + cryptocurrency landscape and found a smart play on this explosive market.
Bitcoin and Ethereum are both skyrocketing as the market goes ballistic. This event signals the rise of the cryptocurrency that has been emerging for several years.
Bitcoin alone surpassed the $17,000 per coin mark bringing the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies to nearly $500 billion. [1]
With this kind of growth, investors are asking, what are the strategic points to enter this impressive new market?
The rise of cryptocurrencies is also driving the value suppliers to and developers of the blockchain and cryptocurrency backbone – the infrastructure – with everything from computing power and chips to highly advanced security and alternate coin (“altcoin”) platforms.
Our research reveals a new company that has just joined in the market through acquisition of existing cyber security company – and it’s perfectly positioned to capitalize on companies across the entire space based on the need for cybersecurity in blockchain technology.
Big Wind Capital Inc. (TSX: BWC) (OTC: BGGWF) has joined Hill Top Security Inc.** to introduce major blockchain advancements in security and cryptocurrency. Together, the pair promises some powerful new offerings in the red hot cryptocurrency space.
We see Big Wind Capital as a ground floor provider to an industry that’s about to change the face of the payment and currency systems worldwide.
Whether you are invested in bitcoin, Ethereum or just stepping into the cryptocurrency market, this could become one of the best opportunities as the new crypto markets take flight.
** Hill Top recently signed a letter of intent with Big Wind, pursuant to which Big Wind intends to acquire various interests in HTSI and its assets. [2]
So Just How Do Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies work?
Even though the rise in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is getting mass attention, it’s hard for most investors to get excited about them without some basic understanding of the technology and its inner workings.
The concept is relatively simple, but it requires a little background.
Bitcoin is an alternate form of currency.
In order to understand Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, you first need to understand that it runs on what is known as blockchain technology.
Described simply, blockchain is like a seemingly endless Excel sheet where you can store vast amounts of data. However, unlike Excel, you cannot change or delete any of these records.
The blockchain is decentralized, which means that no single entity is in charge. If something needs to be added, you have to consult with different users, resulting in an open consensus for each and every transaction.
Lastly, everything that takes place in the blockchain is encrypted to make it secure.
So blockchain is not a Bitcoin-centric technology, but Bitcoin is completely reliant on blockchain technology.
You earn Bitcoins by mining – the process of solving computational puzzles – or now, by working for them or receiving them as a form of payment.
Bitcoin is just one of thousands of cryptocurrencies that are now emerging. Each has their own particular features.
You Can’t Buy into Bitcoin or Ethereum for pennies, but You Can Participate in Blockchain Providers for Pennies per Share. See Our Recommendation.
Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Technology Are Taking Off
Just a year ago Bitcoin was trading for just $770 a coin, meaning that its yearly gains are already over 2,000% in 2017.
To frame it simply, investors who bought in then and held until now have seen a payday of 20 times their original investment – in just under a year!
And with a market capitalization of $280 billion, Bitcoin is now on par with some of the world’s biggest companies. Indeed, some analysts are predicting that it could double, or even triple from this point.
The rest of the cryptocurrencies are also rocketing upward. [3]
As the blockchain and cryptocurrency space explodes, it will assuredly produce several profit areas for companies supporting the technology. That means significant returns for firms providing the core business of mining, transacting and securing cryptocurrencies.
We see Big Wind Capital as one of the early provider companies that is in a critical area with solutions that meet the specialized needs of the blockchain participants.
A Question of Security
Cryptocurrencies are based upon blockchain technology, so they are governed by encryption technology. That adds certain vulnerability to cryptocurrencies, and creates a significant opportunity in the new digital currency space for cyber security.
Computer hacking and theft continue to be impediments to widespread acceptance. These issues have continued to rise in tandem with the popularity of cryptocurrencies.
In July 2017, one of the five largest Bitcoin and Ethereum exchanges was hacked, resulting in the theft of user information, as well as hundreds of millions of Korean Won.
Corby Marshall, chief executive officer of Hill Top Security, the Big Wind Capital lead explains, “The potential of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is vast, however, it is becoming constrained by cybercrime, as well as missing passwords, which can render coins irretrievable.”
“In fact, as many as 3.79 million Bitcoins are estimated as lost forever — that’s nearly 23 per cent of all Bitcoins in circulation, which is close to $30-billion [U.S.] at current market value,” Marshall says. [4]
This is the blockchain segment that Big Wind Capital with Hill Top Security are addressing by offering patented new military grade solutions supported by world class management.
Big Wind Capital Joins Hill Top Security Inc. to Create a Major Force
Big Wind Capital Inc. is an emerging company capitalizing on the opportunity to enter the blockchain and cryptocurrency sector.
In a co-venture with Hill Top Security Inc., Big Wind has struck sales and product development partnership agreements with GuardSight, a specialist in Managed Security Services and Tactical Cyber Security Operations.
GuardSight has a customer base of Fortune 1000 companies and will act as a distributor and services partner for the new military-grade cyber security platform.
The result will be a patented, military-grade, cybersecurity platform supported by a high-profile team of former US military security experts. It will also provide an advanced-stage, cryptocurrency product.
As the high-profile hacks of bitcoin exchanges have shown, security is a major concern for the financial community. There is also an urgent need to develop international standards.
As experts in the field of security, and in the run-up to the launch of their own cryptocurrency offering, Big Wind Inc., together with Hill Top, will be working with one of the foremost standards-focused organizations in the industry.
The team will collaborate with the FIX Trading Community to develop standards for cryptocurrency, particularly related to security.
FIX is an independent, industry-driven standards body at the heart of global trading. The organization is comprised of the world’s leading financial institutions and is focused on addressing business and regulatory issues impacting multi-asset trading in global markets.
Big Wind and Hill Top will be forwarding one of the world’s first and only solutions compliant with FIPS-FIAR –a rigorous financial transaction and compliance standard required by the Department of Defense.
The company has just put together its collaborative platform and has not yet launched its cryptocurrency.
Major New Patents Filed
Missing passwords and theft have become some of the biggest issues plaguing the cryptocurrency industry, with more than 35 major reported hacks of bitcoin exchanges alone since 2011, leading to the theft of over 980,000 bitcoins.
It is believed that as much as 23 per cent of Bitcoins mined to date are estimated lost forever (approximately $30-billion at current market value).
Big Wind Capital through Hill Top Security has filed a patent for a biometric security application designed to protect bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies from theft and loss.
This biometric cryptocurrency application helps solve this issue by adding a new, high level of personalized security for cryptocurrency users worldwide.
The patent filing covers UxToken: biometric-enabled, GPS trackable cryptocurrency private key safe storage.
The new application was developed by Hill Top’s in-house team made up of former U.S. military officers and personnel.
Adding World Renowned Talent to Cyber Security
For a company to succeed in the security side of the blockchain business requires high caliber management. Blockchain security is complex and constantly advancing.
Big Wind Capital and Hill Top Security are right on track there. In a tactful move, the two have announced the appointment of famed hacker Pete Herzog to their team.
Pete Herzog is one of the world’s foremost thought-leaders in the field and a major force in the cybersecurity and blockchain industries. [5] He is attributed with numerous major breakthroughs including:
Co-founded non-profit security research organization – the Institute for Security and Open Methodologies (ISECOM).
Premiered “Intentification” – a process of determining intent as a means of identifying something as malicious before an attack can occur.
Created the first security testing methodology ever published, which is known as the Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM) and provided it for free to the public.
Co-created the Open Source Cybersecurity Playbook to help small and medium-sized companies build better security with this well-designed, easy-to-understand how-to manual.
Pete Herzog has also authored and co-authored books, manuals and articles to help small and medium-sized businesses create better security.
The addition of Pete Herzog, along with the established Hill Top team of former US military security specialists puts Big Wind Capital on the leading edge of cyber security.

Timing is an important element in this scenario.
The early adopters and investors always make the biggest gains, and by the time a story goes mainstream, such as Bitcoin and the rise of cryptocurrency, it’s usually too big to keep expanding at the rate it did in the early stages.
In other words, for really big gains, the real gold may lay within the providers to the blockchain infrastructure and those that facilitate its growth.
Big Wind Capital and Hill Top Security have certainly positioned themselves in a smart segment: cyber security for blockchain.
Based on the current run up in the bitcoin and cryptocurrency prices, it appears that the needs for security improvements and international market standards may be even greater than anticipated. They may also be needed much sooner than anyone had ever imagined.
It is certainly timely to consider Big Wind Capital now, in light of the market’s hunger for blockchain and cryptocurrency. This could be a case of a small company making a fortune along the way by selling picks and shovels to the new gold rush.
