E-sports is starting to run, but let’s use some common sense here
Over the last few days, as cannabis took another face plant into the toilet bowl, a ton of money has been looking for somewhere else to go. That should have been great news for the resource sector, though they haven’t yet figured out how to get cannabis investors interested in what they do. And it…

AMPD Technologies about to go public: Holding last million of financing for little guys
If you’ve been reading this site for a long time, you’ll have heard us mention AMPD Technologies before. This is a company I’ve been a part of, in an informal advisory nature, for nearly two years, having met one of the founders at a Dungeons and Dragons game way back, and realizing his company would…

Deciphering Cryptocurrency: Where in the world is Satoshi Nakamoto?
The canon goes that blockchain technology was invented in 2009 by an unknown programmer named Satoshi Nakamoto. He added a white paper, which reads like part technical manual and part ideological manifesto, and unleashed it on the world in 2010. Then he vanished. He’s left some messages, most of which are thought to be hoaxes.…

Deciphering Cryptocurrency: Mark Zuckerberg still doesn’t care about your privacy
Cryptocurrency is a hard sell for most people. The average person isn’t interested in things like censorship resistance, immutability, security, peer-to-peer services and other things that get blockchain enthusiasts off. Instead, Joe or Jane Citizen is interested in set-it-and-forget-it solutions so they can get back to living their best lives. These people are either shocked…

Deciphering Cryptocurrency: Bitcoin’s bastards
Blockchain’s a dense topic with a lot of moving parts that can be confusing to the uninitiated. It’s one of those topics that you never stop learning about once you get started. If we’re going to discuss some of the denser, more difficult topics later on, we need a good foundation in the fundamentals. Blockchain…

Deciphering Cryptocurrency: surviving the winter
There is lots of speculation about why Bitcoin is up this week ranging from an insecure reaction to Trump’s trade war with China, to new big names now accepting cryptocurrency. It’s too early to tell if this is the end of the crypto-winter or whether we’ll look back on this week as a type of…

Mining for minors: Time for resource companies to figure out the money is in millennials
In 2015, when we started this outfit, our business model was to steer clear of conventional wisdom and the same old pubco marketing techniques, and instead focus on rich niches. Honest coverage of client companies that is negative when justified was one niche. Being inclusive of women was another. And appealing to a younger investor…

Here’s what’s next: e-Sports is happening right now, and hell’s coming with it
I’m about to land at the next Cambridge House extraordinary Future investor conference this week, with more speaking events than I honestly know what to do with. Part of the reason why they’re being tacked on is because we here at Equity.Guru have spent the last year telling you virtual reality/augmented reality is coming to…

Extraordinary Future investor conference: Get your ass off the couch, Sparky
Investors like to complain. “This company sucks, they never talk to investors.” “Insiders know about early financings and we’re always left out.” “Does anybody know about this company? All I can find is the investor deck..” Well, obviously nobody talks to you about their deals, their financings, their news, because you’re sitting at home reading…

Blockchain Foundry (BCFN.C): Sector be damned, work still needs to get done
If I walked into the Cactus Club on Burrard Street with two supermodels on my arm and an eight ball in my pocket and $5k sticking out of my mouth, and told the assembled Howe St crowd ‘this can all be yours, all you have to do is listen to me talk for five minutes…
