Mining commodities electronically
“Gold is a great way to preserve wealth, but it is hard to move around. You do need some kind of alternative and Bitcoin fits the bill.
I’m not surprised to see that happening.”
Jim Rickards, American Lawyer, Economist and Investment Banker
Vision
• AscendancyFx is building an E-Currency mining farm using the latest technology, in order to become one of the leading players in the E-Currency market.
• E-Currency like Bitcoin and Litecoin are being mined and exchanged for hard currency ($’s), which is then being reinvested to grow the enterprise.
Intrinsic Value of E-Currency• E-Currencies are a hybrid of three things of which we're all pretty
familiar: a currency, an equity, and a social network.
– The currency part is pretty easy to understand. Someone is offering something for sale like a bike or a month's rent, and they might give you a quote in dollars, yen, or an E-Currency (Bitcoins / Litecoins). The E-Currency basically acts like a currency.
– E-Currencies also have equity-like characteristics in that the value grows as the whole E-Currency ecosystem grows. The value of a bitcoin is up about 500% from this time last year, which is a massive swing for a commodity, but if you think about it as equity in a hot startup, it's not that preposterous when coming off of a low base.
– And most crucially, there's a social networking element to it. E-Currencies are something that are valued because lots of people use them. It's not that different from Facebook. The technology may not have been better than its predecessor (MySpace), but it got many people using it, and suddenly the platform became tremendously valuable.
E-Mining CommoditiesE-Mining is “so called” because it resembles the mining of other commodities: It requires exertion and slowly makes new commodities available similar to the
rate at which commodities, like gold, are mined from the ground.
E-Mining is the process of adding transaction records to the E-Mining public ledger of past transactions. This ledger of past transactions is called the block
chain, which serves to confirm transactions to the rest of the network.
Think of the above in terms of a credit card.The “Block” is the transaction, The “Blockchain” is the statement or Credit Card Company Ledger, and the reward is the 3% commission the credit card company
charges per transaction.
Mining Advantages / Disadvantages

Physical Asset Mining season length
Ownership / Claim Fees (up to 20%)
Breakdowns that stop the operation (Dozer / Loader / Wash-plant / Pump)Regulator inspections and shutdowns
Prospecting Required
Dangerous worksite
Number of employees required to run
% of Gold to Acquired acreage (finite)
Old fashioned, low technology
E-Mining Advantages / Disadvantages
Advantages Disadvantages

Future Projection
• With an inflow of investment capital, the business will grow more rapidly and be a major player in the market place, delivering an attractive return to investors.
• If this infusion of capital investment is not obtained, we will continue to invest in emerging technologies, in order to continue the growth of the company. Thus, the business in its current form will continue to grow and provide future profits, albeit at a slower rate.
