The crypto gurus at HIVE Blockchain (HIVE.V) posted financials for Q4 2018 today, and the documents make for interesting reading.

You people don’t get CUV Ventures (CUV.V); maybe it’s time you got CUV Ventures
When you’re looking to tell the story of a public company in a way that will resonate with an audience, with a succinct, tagline-sized parable, finding the words ‘multidimensional’ and ‘multidivisional’ in the first few lines of their website will give a writer reason to reach for the coffee.

CUV Ventures (CUV.V): What if you built a bank while nobody was looking?
when you ask Steve Marshall, CEO of CUV Ventures (CUV.V) about Cuba, he says, “It’s a lovely place. Great people.
