Bitcoin .. Upward & Onward!


	January 14th 2014

Whether you believe the Bitcoin is the world's most disruptive technology (as I do) or a nefarious plot by the NSA and their blue-blood overlords (as many do), there's no denying it's incredible features as a competitive and sound currency, despite the "stern warnings" of financial regulators, or the suggestion by TIME Magazine that it's fans are crazy for an alternative currency "invented by a phantom." Remember it was TIME that ran Hitler as their Man Of The Year in 1936 and then of a catastrophic global "ice-age" in 1971. The mining protocol that delivers Bitcoin into the marketplace and the math that guarantees it's finite supply is now drawing the attention of investors seeking a ground-floor opportunity on par with that of the internet, circa 1990. The time is now to explore positions in the crypto's and the myriad of emerging technologies seeking seed capital, therefore I hope you'll make time to join our new partner, Danny Wettreich of Greenbank Capital Inc., to learn how you can discover a position in Bitcoin, and to a diversified portfolio of early stage cryptocurrency companies. Canada's first public company to invest in this exciting new world will be delivering their message to accredited investors tomorrow in Calgary, and on Thursday in Vancouver. Both events are suitable for sophisticated & private investors, fund managers, financial institutions, hedge funds, buy & sell side analysts and journalists. GreenBank will also be meeting with investors at its booth at the Vancouver Resource Investor Conference (Booth 1335) on January 19-20th.The Bitcoin is Money Over IP, yet its global market-cap is still just one-quarter of Canada's smallest bank! If I miss you Thursday please try to visit me in the Greenbank booth at the VRIC. Cheers!

BitPay is Now Adding 1,000 New Merchants Per Week

... to put this into perspective and understand just how staggering this growth is, BitPay surpassed 1,000 total merchants in September 2012 and a total of 10,000 in September 2013. At its current growth rate, the company is set to double the milestone of 10,000 merchants every two and a half months. Incredible.

Overstock's First Day Accepting Bitcoin - $130,000 in Sales

How Bitcoin Could Serve the Marijuana Industry

Some of the key tenets of a disruptive technology are that it allows people and businesses within a certain industry (or industries) to do things cheaper, faster, and better than before by a significant, if not revolutionary margin. Bitcoin easily checks all these boxes. Even more than that, it also frees humanity from the vengeful whims, or simply the bureaucratic inefficiencies, of the state apparatus.

Happy To Help ..

So what's your Bitcoin strategy? The Sovereign Bitcoin Exchange provides a risk-free opportunity to discover new customers by listing and selling your goods and services in the online marketplace for Sovereigns (virtual grams of silver), and then converting them to bullion, Bitcoin, or a little of both? The account is free for the first year and the commissions are paid in Sovereigns (we do not accept cash).

Timing is Everything!

The two subsidiaries of GreenBank, Bitcoin Angel Capital which will invest in early stage Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency focused companies, and Bitcoin Canada Investments which will invest exclusively in Bitcoin, are currently making a private placement to accredited investors of up to $5,000,000 Convertible Secured Debentures. GreenBank believes the Convertible Secured Debentures represent a convenient way for investors to gain exposure to a diversified portfolio of Bitcoin and early stage Bitcoin companies.
