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?

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.

To make money in blockchain, invest in the people who do real business, not crypto
I got a document sent to me this week that I haven’t seen before, at least not in my inbox. The document was an ‘offer to rescind.’ I had placed some bets on some private blockchain deals nine months ago, and one of those had decided they were done waiting for the blockchain sector to…

Blockchain moves to Proof of Business: HIVE, UPCO, LTV, BLOC, VHI, DASH, KASH on a hard climb
When the first blockchain profit party ended last December, and companies that had been on an absolute tear of upward multiples began to turn the wrong way, few in the industry seemed too bothered about it all.

Green-screened: Glance Pay (GET.C) splatters the boardroom walls with family blood
There are two blockchain deals I really wouldn’t want to be playing with right now, and for two different reasons. The first is RIOT Blockchain (RIOT.Q), a company which is facing multiple class action lawsuit investigations. The second is Glance Pay (GET.C), whose board of directors are going to the mattresses in their proxy battle against…

Every now and then a company comes along that wants to raise a whole whack of cash from you so they can do what you could just do yourself if you weren’t so freaking lazy. “We’re going to invest in cryptocurrencies!” is a new one, and it’s as dumb an ideas it sounds. Mostly because…
