Moving On -"The Future is Better Than You Think"

I’ve been on Steemit for 18 months. I wondered what the thinking was behind the name?. There didn’t appear to be any logic, or indication of a light bulb moment of inspiration, as in - ‘I’ve got it ! We’ll call it Steem

It’s not exciting, or sexy as everything has to be to succeed these days. Not like Bitcoin, which was not just the first, but the only one out of thousands launched that the uninitiated could have an inkling of what it was about.

‘Well it’s a coin, innit? Says so on the tin’. But Monero ? Ripple ? An Ice cream, perhaps ?

But the penny, err, coin, dropped for me when I read about SMTs. Smart Media Tokens. And how Steem with it’s advanced Blockchain technology is in pole position to sell and run SMT services for a wide variety of applications. This potential is recognised by Steems 2^nd position in a table of Cryptocurrency usefulness. Bitcoin at 13th !

Apps! Steem ! It’s the beginning of a revolution. The first - The Industrial Revolution - powered by Steam, and the second - The Financial and Inventions Revolution - powered by Steem, and its advanced Blockchain technology for launching SMTs Smart Media Tokens. What goes around comes around!

The Blockchain is the steam/steem engine of my day. The one on the farm where my father worked could run a threshing machine and a cattle feed mixer at the same time. Driven by separate pulley wheels and belts.

The Blockchain is a ‘One-man Band’. A Juggler. Able to multitask with thousands of balls in the air at once.

According to its fans, the blockchain will:

Replace passports, land registries, voting systems

Replace contracts

Get rid of fees on financial transactions

Replace all keys: for homes, cars, hotel rooms and so on

Eliminate spam

End digital piracy of music, films and TV

Lead to self-owning self-driving cars

Lead to thousands and thousands of job losses at banks and other bureaucracies

It is a Trust Machine

New. Government Health Warning - Smoking is Good For You !

That is a notice that you could increasingly see in the future, especially after June 7th this year.

This could be bigger than investing in - Anheuser-Bush in 1932 or bitcoin in 2011

Because the controversial herb Cannabis is being looked at by the Big Tobacco Companies anticipating a favorable vote on that date by the Canadian Government for its limited use for recreational and medicinal use. (Cannabis is the umbrella name that houses marijuana and hemp.)

I always thought Cannabis was harmful to mental health. From time to time there were arguments to the contrary but not the total turnaround from bad guy to good guy that is apparently about to take place if the information I've been sent comes about.

Cannabis - Poacher turned Gamekeeper?

The Giant tobacco companies Philip Morris & British American Tobacco have apparently been lobbying, anticipating and preparing for its approval for years.

This is a memo from March 1970, from British American Tobacco’s taxation consultant, to its management:

“Smoking such [a marijuana] cigarette is a natural expansion of current smoking habits which, if a more tolerant attitude were ever taken to cannabis, would be a change in habit comparable to moving over to cigars...

“The proposed research can be started off very simply, it is just to do for “cannabis-loaded” cigarettes what has already been done for normal cigarettes. . . . The starting point must be to learn how to produce in quantity cigarettes loaded uniformly with a known amount of either ground cannabis or dried and cut cannabis rag.”

Nixon’s “War on Drugs” put the brakes on for a while in the 1970s, but now the leash is off. And the plans are ON.

Over the coming year, a new form of smoking will surface that could actually be good for your health, and its not Ecigarettes,a product which has seen tremendous growth as evidenced by the explosion of vaping outlets.

Ecigarette smoking, particularly by the younger generation is one of the reasons for the slump in traditional tobacco sales.

But are the tables about to be turned. The tobacco people’ are increasingly confident that the recent and growing favorable publicity for the good bits of cannabis indicates - Yes !

Tobacco gets a facelift

Imagine a form of smoking that supplements your diet like a vitamin. That kills pain, speeds up sports recovery, and helps prevent illness.

If it was proven, and government-approved, who wouldn’t want it?

Even Oxford University now acknowledges it’s fundamentally important in the development and function of the nervous system.

Zameel Cader, Associate Professor in Clinical Neurosciences at Oxford University says it’s

“increasingly recognised as fundamentally important in the development and function of the nervous system.”

Studies suggest our current lack causes a deficiency that’s linked to migraines, fibromyalgia, IBS, and other diseases related to the immune system and inflammation.

Those statements from respected professionals, allied to money being invested by the tobacco companies looks as if it will overcome objectors. So - What is the truth?

Ah ! The Truth – that is a difficult one. There are so many sayings that fit. – ‘Truth is the first casualty of War -and Big Money’ – ‘Truth is what you can prove’, and – ‘Justice is what the judge had for breakfast’.

But I digress

Experts believe that the global market for cannabis products could eventually reach $270 billion. The following comparisons show how big that is

The diabetes devices market is expected to reach around $35 billion by 2024.

Cancer drugs already top the scales at £121 billion.

HIV treatments came in at $19 billion in 2013.

So this new cannabis smoking global market could be worth more than all drugs sold for diabetes, cancer and HIV - Combined.

And It’s happening, soon

It’s why some multinational tobacco companies are scrambling to get their ducks in a row, right now.

Because with Big Tobacco behind it, this will be huge.

• In America, 30 states and the District of Columbia currently have laws broadly legalising marijuana in some form. In addition, 8 states and the District of Columbia have adopted the most expansive laws legalising recreational use.

• Medicinal marijuana is already above board in Australia, Chile, Jamaica and parts of India.

• Police chiefs in Germany have called for cannabis to be decriminalised.

• In the UK, the law is already softening its stance. The non-psychoactive cannabis compound, cannabidiol (CBD), is already legally sold as a supplement - without a license

Big plans have been on the tobacco companies’ table for almost half a century. And now they’re finally making their move….

Phillip Morris’s $20 million investment in Israel’s Syqe Medical was the second largest cannabis deal of 2016…

Last year, Imperial Tobacco changed its name to Imperial Brands and hired cannabis expert Simon Langelier...

And in January this year, Alliance One International bought majority stakes in two Canadian cannabis businesses...

The trend is catching fire!

And now the whole world is gearing up for Marijuana-Mania (Cannabis is the umbrella name that houses marijuana and hemp.)

• Come 7th June, Canada will have held the vote set to legalize production, sale and consumption of recreational cannabis.

It is widely expected to be a yes.

Bitcoin Price Dip -Just Girding Up it's Loins I Think

Bitcoin Price Dip - Just Girding Up it's Loins, I Think

For a big leap higher. Will history repeat itself.

March 2017 Bitcoin - $850 for 1 Bitcoin.

Then onward and upward, reaching $19,000 December 2017. Then the price dip -

March 2018 - $8000 for 1 Bitcoin

My own small Bitcoin account value -

March 2017 $74 - i.e I own a fraction of a Bitcoin

March 2018. $2000. I own a bigger fraction of a Bitcoin

And Sam Volkering thinks it is about to happen again.Here is his reasoning -

Breaking news: 80,000 shops to accept crypto!

For cryptos to become more than a speculative fad they need to gain traction in the real world.

No question.

On Tuesday, they got that traction.

The biggest crypto-coins on the market will soon be accepted in 80,000 shops around Europe. This is a huge step forward.

As reported in The Independent Republic:

“A new partnership between Coingate and Prestashop will allow for the use of cryptocurrency in payments in as many as 80,000 merchants in Europe. This means that consumers can use pretty much any cryptocurrency in the Coingate portfolio, to pay for goods and services…”

This is an important move toward widespread crypto adoption. When everyday shoppers can pick up goods using alt-coins… the financial revolution becomes legitimate.

Connect the dots… and you should see where all this is heading:

In December 2017 Japan declared that bitcoin can be used as a legally accepted form of payment.

A bill has just been introduced to Russian parliament to allow crypto payments.

Some banks in Australia are allowing their customers to buy into crypto via their accounts.

The wind behind this movement is blowing strong.

And the market dip we’re seeing now is a flashing green light, in my view. Buy the dip or I think you will come to rue it.

You might read a lot of gloom and doom about the current drop in the crypto market… but let me show you something that I hope will put all that into perspective for a moment.

Let’s look at the price of bitcoin (a good proxy for the market in general) in March of every year since 2010:

March 2010: $0.003
March 2011: $1
March 2012: $5
March 2013: $80
March 2014: $600
March 2015: $250
March 2016: $400
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results
March 2017: $950
March 2018: $8,000

Those complaining about the dip need to wake up! If you’re an investor out to make money – this is the dream. But it’s REAL!

This is the fastest-rising asset class in history… and its evolution is on fast forward:

Two years ago most people had no idea what it was… now it’s being championed in US congress, accepted in 80k stores in Europe and some see it climbing as high as $500k or even $1m a coin by 2020!

I cannot be any clearer: buy this dip or take a gut punch of what I believe will be bitter regret.

Forecasts are not a reliable indicator of future results.

Click here immediately and I’ll show you how to claim your stake in this crypto revolution… and one coin I’m backing to hit 22,200% gains.

I’m serious. I haven’t been as sure as the long-term potential of anything in my entire investing life. I wasn't experienced or savvy enough to invest in pre-2000s tech stocks...I was only 16 in 2000...and thought maybe that was the defining opportunity of our lifetime.

I was wrong. The crypto uprising creams it by a country mile. Hopefully we’ll see the next soaring-phase of the boom very soon…everything tells me pressure is building under the market right now, and could be ready to blow up again.

But if not, even if it takes another one or two or five years… I think the price climbs will make the wealth accumulated during the oil boom, the tech boom, the gold boom, all of it… look downright meagre in comparison.

Let me show you how to stake a little sum – money you can afford to lose - in this ready to erupt again market.

I’ve put together a special Crypto Wealth Package you can get your hands on immediately. Claim yours now, grab a stake in this unprecedented financial boom and discover:
How to buy, store and keep your crypto investments secure

Why the next financial crisis could push cryptos through the roof

A special five part beginner’s guide to investing in cryptocurrencies

How to tackle the high risks of this volatile market

The name of the coin I’m backing to soar higher than bitcoin…
Forecasts are not a reliable indicator of future results.
and potentially turn every £250 you invest into £55,000!

That’s the potential here – and I’m offering to show you how to snatch it with both hands.

Are you up for it? I hope so…

Because NOW is the time to move. Strike when cryptos are dipped down to these insane bargain prices.

Click here now, claim your Crypto Wealth Package, and dive in to the biggest wealth eruption of all time.

Do it… take the leap… it’s not a big one, but it’s one that could make a huge impact on your money. In 6-12 months I think you’re going to look back at this as the single greatest financial decision you ever made.

Especially if you move fast while prices are so low. My eight years of experience in the alt-coin market tells me it won’t last.
