Upset that you missed the boat on the bitcoin craze last year?
Millionaires were minted overnight as bitcoin returned 1,700 percent in
2017, only to see prices crash by more than half since December. The bubble
seems to have popped, and not everyone got out in time.
While we may be past the peak temporarily, the cryptocurrency trend is
just getting started, and investor enthusiasm is still growing by the day.

While the bitcoin investment boat may have already set sail, it’s likely far
from the last huge opportunity in the space. The cryptocurrency and
blockchain market is expanding at a significant rate, and there is one unique
and simple investment opportunity that could give investors access to a broad
spectrum of the space.
The problem for would-be cryptocurrency investors is trying to figure out
the next big thing. Now, a new Canadian investment company will figure that
out for you, offering exposure to not just cryptocurrencies by also the
entire blockchain ecosystem.
Global Blockchain Technologies Corp. (CSE: BLOC; OTC: BLKCF) is
Canada’s first blockchain-focused investment company. Bitcoin captured the
interest of the global financial industry last year, but it makes up just a
fraction of the blockchain market. The recent collapse in bitcoin prices now
has some investors nursing their losses and biding their time until the next
big cryptocurrency coin emerges.
More importantly, the underlying blockchain technology is an even bigger
story than mere crypto tokens.
Global
Blockchain offers the best of both worlds. It offers investors exposure
to a curated selection of cryptocurrencies, while also opening the door to
investment in blockchain, before the next wave of money rolls into this
booming market.
As investors search for profits amid the market disruption caused by
cryptocurrencies, Global Blockchain plans to offer a unique solution. This
comes in the form of a basket of holdings that:
• Definitively answers massive demand from investors
• Will be one of the first ways to find and gain exposure to a wide
breadth of cryptocurrencies and blockchain companies
• Is packaged in a publicly listed security accessible in the U.S., Canada
and Europe, with Asia and Australia to follow
• Access to ICOs that investors would never be able to secure on their own
• Is led by major crypto-pioneers who are ready to make the crypto world a
lot less cryptic
Here are 5 reasons to keep a close eye on Global Blockchain
(CSE: BLOC; OTC: BLKCF), an
investment company hoping to become the first-ever vertically integrated
originator and manager of startup blockchains and investor in top-tier
digital currencies:
1.) Blockchain To Impact Every Major Sector of the Global Economy
Blockchain is automation
and collaboration on steroids, with market growth predictions headed into
trillion-dollar territory. The technology is the backbone of the
exploding crypto-currency market, worth a pretty $333
billion today.
There’s likely no industry that’s isolated from being disrupted by blockchain
technology.
- Banking: Seven
major global banks have partnered with fintech companies to develop new
blockchain technologies, because blockchain and cryptocurrencies simplify so
many things in the banking world, from fees for sending payments through
middlemen, privacy threats, and security risks to cumbersome lending in the
$134-trillion global banking industry.
- Global Logistics: Blockchain technology is already
being used to track global trade and shipments in this $8-trillion-plus
industry.
- Real Estate: This $7.4-trillion
industry is also a major beneficiary of blockchain tech. Look no further
than the real estate mecca of Dubai, which is putting its entire land
registry on a blockchain.
- Healthcare: The global healthcare IT market, valued at $134
billion last year, is publicly seeking IT solutions from
Blockchain.
- Crowdfunding: Even this $96-billion
market is embracing blockchain.
And the list goes on …
“Blockchain solutions in finance are virtually endless … any centralized
marketplace that is dominated by a few middlemen is likely to be taken over
by blockchain technology,” says BLOC Chairman Steve Nerayoff. The
opportunities are mind-boggling.
2.) BLOC Offers Exposure to Blockchain Ecosystem
Global Blockchain (CSE: BLOC; OTC: BLKCF) has
plans to invest in a basket of holdings within the blockchain space, offering
investors a slice of profits from the entire shift towards blockchain tech.
This innovative strategy would make Global Blockchain the first global
investment company with exposure to a wide cross-section of the blockchain
ecosystem — all backed by startup equity and token diversification.
The investment strategy also benefits from diversification, lowering risk
for investors by balancing more established companies with hand-picked,
high-growth potential small-caps. Global Blockchain also plans to diversify
portfolios by balancing cryptocurrencies by category.
You can buy it right now from an online broker, and even add it to your
IRA or 401K.

Here are Global Blockchain’s planned investments:
But it’s not just about a basket of currencies to speculate on; it’s about
the potential of building an investment portfolio based on the token economy
— one of the first of its kind.

3.) BLOC Led by Cryptocurrency Pioneers
The team behind Global Blockchain (CSE: BLOC; OTC: BLKCF) isn’t
comprised of a bunch of financiers new to cryptocurrencies.
Remember the Ethereum ICO? It’s risen over 220,000 percent. Global
Blockchain’s Chairman and CEO, Steve Nerayoff, was not only a senior advisor
to Ethereum leading up to its ICO, but was the architect of the Ethereum
crowdsale, the way the project was funded. He also was a senior advisor to
the Lisk Cryptocurrency project, which now has a $1.8-billion market cap.
Nerayoff is an early leader of the blockchain industry, and one of its most
important pioneers.
But Global Blockchain’s knowledge base doesn’t stop with Nerayoff.
• Rik Willard: Cryptocurrency and ICO veteran, co-founder of the Silicon
Valley Blockchain Society, and an advisor to Luxembourg and other countries’
blockchain initiatives.
• Shidan Gouran: Cryptocurrency and ICO expert with a long track record.
• Kyle Kemper: Executive director of the Blockchain Association of Canada.
• Jeff Pulver: Has consulted and invested in 350 startups.
• Michael Terpin: Co-founder of BitAngels, the world’s first angel network
for digital currency startups. Managing partner of bCommerce Labs, the
world’s first blockchain incubator fund. Founded Marketwire, one of the
largest company newswires, which was acquired in 2006 by NASDAQ for $200
million.
And it’s not just their blockchain successes and expertise that investors
will harness — it’s also their exclusive access to assets that investors
would have difficulty investing in otherwise.
4.) Just The Beginning
If and when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approves
crypto ETFs for listing on public markets, digital currencies will likely
push even higher. Some projections show that as much as $300 million could
pour into a bitcoin ETF in its first week, Bloomberg
reports.
We’re looking at a potential total current market cap of tokens at $34 billion, and more than $2
billion has already flowed into ICO (initial coin offering) token sales.
This is where Global Blockchain (CSE: BLOC; OTC: BLKCF) comes
into play, with their expertise to make knowledge-based decisions on which
ICOs may have what it takes to be winners, and how to play the futures. They
also intend to balance large-cap holdings with small-cap and emerging
cryptocurrencies so investors can benefit from the relative stability of one
and the growth potential of the other at the same time.
Global Blockchain plans to become an incubator for new crypto
technologies, which means that investors are not just investing in assets —
they’re investing in innovation.
5.) Global Blockchain Cryptocurrency Incubator
Global Blockchain (CSE: BLOC; OTC: BLKCF) also
plans to create additional value with its own incubator for new tokens,
taking advantage of a major gap in the token world.
Most new ICOs have poor execution after they are developed. This is where
Global Blockchain sees an opportunity. They won’t just help new blockchain
companies build; they’ll help brand and distribute, taking equity stakes in
the cryptocurrency in return.
While the major cryptocurrencies garner the most attention, sometimes the
smaller tokens offer vastly more upside. Verge, for instance, with a market
cap of $640 million, has offered a return on investment in excess of 200,000
percent. DigitalNote, a small token with a market cap of just $97 million,
have offered investors a return on investment higher than 13,000 percent.
Global Blockchain will find and incubate upstart cryptocurrencies so you
won’t have to try to discover them yourself.
Guided by a team with extensive real-world experience and backed by the
world’s top blockchain programmers, this venture holds great promise as the
next phase of maturity in an industry that lacks development. With Global
Blockchain providing investors access to a basket of holdings within the
blockchain space, and managed by a team of industry early adopters and
pioneers, investors have a chance to access a market of huge proportions,
since blockchain is poised to affect every industry.
New waves of money continue to enter the market, and the next wave could
be Wall Street hedge funds. After that, possibly ETFs. And then everyone
else. Getting ahead of the wave could be possible with Global Blockchain’s
investment and incubator strategy.
Honorable Mentions:
Veeva (NYSE:VEEV) Veeva is one of the most prominent
cloud services providers out there, focusing specifically on the
pharmaceutical sector. The company's cloud platform for the world's pharma
companies is more popular than ever before.
After rallying to an all-time high last July, its share price has fallen a
bit since. While its bigger brother ‘Salesforce’ has a stronger cash flow,
Veeva has seen some healthy profits lately. Analysts now argue that the
company might be ‘expensive’, but worth it. With an expected growth rate of
24% this year, it looks like investors will be rewarded for their patience.
Sony Corp (ADR) (NYSE:SNE) is a tech heavyweight. From
TVs to video games, Sony covers anything and everything media-related. The
company’s infamous Walkman was in the hands of every young person throughout
the 1980s and 1990s. But Sony’s biggest hit was arguably the PlayStation gaming
console.
With over 100-million units sold, the original console sparked a new wave
of gaming. The incredible success continued with the PlayStation 2, 3, and
the current series, the PlayStation 4. Sony’s PlayStation 4 is now a
multi-platform entertainment device, with the ability to stream movies and
music, play Blu-ray and DVDs, purchase and play video games, and even browse
the web.
Sony’s partnerships and innovative technology make it an appealing
investment for those looking for a company with longevity. Sony isn’t going
anywhere and is sure to continue its entertainment dominance for years to
come.
Raytheon Company (NYSE:RTN) is an emerging tech company
specializing in defense and other government markets. Raytheon’s major
selling point is its strong command of cybersecurity. While its specialty is
in government-centric markets, Raytheon also develops products, services, and
solutions in various other markets.
Raytheon reach is far reaching and its potential market share is huge.
Smart investors are looking toward cybersecurity firms early. With the recent
high-profile attacks, and likely more to come, cybersecurity companies will
be the saving grace of the tech boom.
Secureworks Corp (NASDAQ:SCWX) Secureworks Corp is a
company specializing in intelligence-driven information security solutions.
Clients are protected from cyber-attacks including hacking, ransomware, and
the like. The company’s solutions enable its clients to strengthen their
defenses in order to prevent security breaches and detect malicious activity
in real time. Secureworks Corp is definitely a great pick for those looking
to invest in cybersecurity.
Pure Storage Inc (NYSE:PSTG) Data platforms are also a
key asset in protecting companies against cyber-attacks. Pure Storage, Inc is
a data platform focused on delivering fast, optimized and cloud-capable
solutions for its customers while keeping data security as a top priority.
This is another company about which investors can be optimistic.
