    I bought into a junior on The TSX-V, syl, LTV , about 6 days ago. They are in blockchain technology, today they announced a deal with one of Canada’s major banks. This stock reminds me of the run up in weed stocks. Blockchain is where the action currently is, and I mean is. DT

      Bitcoin Gold: What to Know About the Blockchain’s Next Split
      Oct 23, 2017

      “The project, which seeks to improve bitcoin’s technology by changing how its competition for rewards is conducted, is the second to launch since August via an increasingly common process called a “hard fork.”

      “Readers may remember the term from the launch of bitcoin cash, the alternative version of the bitcoin protocol that spurred global headlines for unexpectedly creating billions of dollars in value, seemingly out of thin air.”

      > In short, bitcoin gold aims to achieve two goals:

      “First, bitcoin gold wants to change how mining works by making it so the most powerful mining machines (called ASICs) can no longer be used.”

      “Second, by attracting more people to this system over time, it hopes to free the bitcoin network from the large companies that offer these products, and it argues, command undue influence on the network.”

      “Instead of scaling bitcoin to support more users, bitcoin gold tweaks bitcoin in an effort to “make bitcoin decentralized again.”
