Yeah you're right the article is a year old. And 1800/1 RS does sound horrible... But Charles intentions have been to up-list since the start of Bitcoin Shop. The failed merger with Spondoolies, the cooling systems failing and then the theft of the servers threw a wrench in the works. Pretty messed up year for BTCS. What everyone here is saying is now that the 10-k has let us know BTCS is not filing for bankruptcy and there is something in the works. What it is? Nobody here is sure but the speculation is on 1/01/17 BTCS being officially free of the bond with Spondoolies can now move forward with new and fresh plans. As you can see it the year old article it says, "Allen is no stranger to the ropes of going public, telling Finance Magnates that he worked in public company merger-related matters for almost 10 years". This is what Charles does. With the low float, a small reverse split, some news that BTCS is partnering with Amazon, MasterCard, or some other giant that wants to jump on the digital currency and block-chain technology band wagon would send this stock thru the roof! At this point BTCS has no choice but to go BIG. 34 million in debt and no type of revenue.... BTCS has gotta do something BIG to get outta that hole. 2016 sucked for BTCS so now hopefully in 2017 BTCS has something great to offer. As an investor I have to stay optimistic and connect the dots due to the lack of PR that used to be released on a weekly basis.
I asked in an earlier post.....
"What about the companies BTCS aka Bitcoin Shop invested in?
-GoCoin (a payment processor that accommodates bitcoin and other popular digital currency)
-Gem (an API for building blockchain apps)
-CoinOutlet (a Bitcoin ATM network company)
-ExpressCoin (a digital exchange)
How is BTCS connected to them? Does BTCS ever see any type of financial return from those investments? All those companies seem to be doing great. Gem partnered with Capital One and GoCoin partnered with PayPal. All of those companies seem to be doing the kinds of things your talking about. Why doesn't BTCS merge with any of them? These companies have direct contact with the Linux Foundation, R3, Brock Pierce, and even Peter Thiel. Surely BTCS can find someone to merge with?"
