FOUR BLOCKCHAIN BONANZA STOCKS TO

EXPLODE IN 2018

It’s not everyday you get the chance to invest in something that could change the world… right before it does.

But that change is now — because the REAL crypto boom is coming and it has nothing to do with coins…

The true global game-changer is the technology behind Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency revolution — blockchain.

Blockchain bonanza is set to unleash a tsunami of wealth for investors.

Any company investing heavily in blockchain technology will skyrocket as we watch blockchain transform our financial landscape. And the four companies you’re about to see are leading the pack for profit.

How Blockchain Will Change Our LandscapeTrillions of dollars are traded everyday — but its takes weeks sometimes even months for a transaction to get verified and settled.

With blockchain exchange however, the money and the stock would be verified and the transfer of goods would be recorded. All in a matter of minutes.

It’s the one thing that can bridge the gap of trust and transparency in the financial industry and beyond.

Additionally, blockchain is useful for far more than just currencies.

In addition to securely recording monetary exchanges, it can be used to document supply chains, to create and store contracts and much more.

Emerging blockchain applications include securities exchanges, voting systems, cryptographically secure property registries, peer-to-peer insurance, supply chain management, smart contracts and anti-counterfeiting payment and remittance systems much cheaper than anything we use today.

Almost any process in which many parties need a common, trusted, transparent and auditable record could one day be improved with blockchain tech.

But it’s worth noting, as the blockchain mania grows, more and more companies will be slapping blockchain on their name hoping to boost their value while having nothing to do with the exchange itself.

Which is why I wanted to introduce you to the four stocks that pass my intense analysis of specific criteria a company must meet to be considered a legitimate blockchain investment. These stocks are the real deal and will maximize your profit potential and as we watch this blockchain revolution play out.

Blockchain Play #1: Profit From the Dark Side Bitcoin has been called “a currency for criminals.” In fact, some countries, like China, shut down cryptocurrency exchanges because they were being used to get around capital controls.

One of the biggest cyberattacks of 2017 — a piece of ransomware called WannaCry — was enabled by bitcoin. More than 300,000 computers across 150 countries became infected with WannaCry.

The malicious software encrypted users’ computers, locking them out of their own data. The data could be made avail-able again — but only after a payment in untraceable bitcoins. If the user refused to pay, the data would be destroyed.

Since it can be used outside of our financial system, the potential for bitcoin-based mischief became apparent very early on. It became the preferred means for engaging in illegal activity on the dark web.

Drugs, human trafficking, contract murder for hire and other criminal activities are being funded without law en-forcement being able to use traditional tracking methods thanks to its anonymous, private, decentralized technology.

Governments will be inclined to shut down cryptos if they cannot trace criminal activity. Financial institutions and businesses cannot comply with laws and regulations if they cannot trace the source of crypto funds. Growing numbers of business are accepting cryptocurrencies, but the risks are high.

This problem must be addressed for cryptocurrencies if they are to fulfill their potential.

Additionally, the rewards for solving this problem present a huge opportunity for innovators and investors.

And that’s why I’m excited about Vancouver, British Columbia’s BIG Blockchain Intelligence Group Inc. (OTCBB: BBKCF).

Founders of BIG started investigating cryptocurrencies in 2013. They began development work in 2014. By 2015, they had combined artificial intelligence-enabled search technologies with blockchain. Late in 2016, they were able to launch the first version of their products, called QLUE. BIG’s technology is proprietary and patent pending.

In researching BIG, I had the pleasure of personally interviewing CEO Lance Morginn, as well as President and Co-founder Shone Anstey. Both bring decades of experience creating information technologies and founding multimillion-dollar businesses.

They’ve leveraged many years of data analytics expertise to bring a solution that can address the dark side of crypto.

As cryptocurrencies take off, they’re in the right place, at the right time, with the right technology.

Law enforcement is hungry for tools that it can use to trace the flow of money in order to investigate criminal activity. While transactions in bitcoin are anonymous, every transaction is still immutably recorded on the distrib-uted ledger known as the blockchain.

As it turns out, however, that bitcoin’s vaunted anonymity is somewhat overrated. With the right technology, Blockchain transactions can be used to lift the veil on who is doing what.

BIG’s QLUE uses a Cryptocurrency search and analytics engine to crack the code. It can connect an address to a user and trace all transactions by that user using the address.

It offers a full tool set to investigators providing an all-in-one, turnkey solution for investigators looking for bitcoin cybercrime, including anti-money laundering features.

BIG has already racked up an impressive set of clients who are using QLUE, including Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of Justice. The U.S. Treasury department is piloting a program with QLUE.

Overseas, the Kyoto Cyber Investigation Division has recently been trained on this software.

Future clients in the pipeline include a number of U.S. government agencies, as well as private financial services companies both in Canada and Japan.

Financial institutions spend hundreds of millions of dollars per year complying with financial regulations.

I used to work on the technology side of the financial services industry, and I can tell you that the only reason half of our IT department had a job was to ensure regulatory compliance.

These days, compliance has grown into an even bigger job. Spending legal and regulatory compliance has grown into billions of dollars per year.

BIG enters this environment having created a new set of tools it recently launched called BitRank®. Credit reporting

agencies support the financial services industry with credit scores to determine risk. Using BIG’s search and analytics engine, BitRank® acts as a risk score for bitcoin wallet addresses.

This piece of financial services technology can help institutions determine if a bitcoin address is associated with illegal behavior, helping them comply with regulations. BIG’s infrastructure can currently deliver 7 billion requests a month with a response time of less than 500 milliseconds. Applications include financial services companies, payment processing companies, banks, e-wallets, currency exchanges and more.

BIG became accessible to public investors in December of last year on the Canadian Securities Exchange, and it’s been added to the CSE25 index after qualifying as one of the 25 biggest companies by market cap on that ex-change. But BIG is also accessible in the U.S. on the OTC.

The company is hiring artificial intelligence specialists and former Homeland Security agents to help it improve, extend and commercialize its platform. It’s also working on extending its technology for other cryptocurrencies.

The cryptocurrency market has the potential to become vast. But decentralized, distributed cryptocurrencies will never go mainstream if they remain a “currency for criminals.”

Solving that problem puts BIG Blockchain Intelligence Group Inc. and its investors on the path to historic profits.

Recommendation: Buy BIG Blockchain Intelligence Group Inc. (OTCBB: BBKCF) up to $1.50.

Blockchain Play #2: A Profitable Partnership I recently traveled to Las Vegas to attend the Marijuana Business Conference, the world’s biggest cannabis industry show.

Not only did I get a better handle on the industry as a whole, but I also checked out the budding Vegas market, from growers to vendors. It’s booming.

Nevada posted more than $27 million in sales in its first month of legal recreational marijuana and 2018 sales should exceed $500 million.

Pot’s going to get hotter — Support for legalization keeps growing nationwide.

There will plenty of investment opportunities as cannabis becomes legal, state by state, like dominoes falling. But as I’ve mentioned before, the best place to invest in weed remains Canada.

Which brings me to a promising cannabis opportunity, Emerald Health Therapeutics (OTCBB: EMHTF), located in Victoria, Canada.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Emerald’s executive chairman, Avtar Dhillon, MD, while visiting MJBizCon. Dhillon’s business background is actually biotech, and I’ve had occasion to speak to him over the years about several companies he’s been involved with.

As director of the Cannabis Canada Association, Dhillon is also fully plugged in and connected to the emerging cannabis industry up north.

This is a key advantage for Emerald when it comes to producing high-grade cannabis products at the lowest costs. Emerald is a growing cannabis producer with licenses to produce and sell dry and extracted products in Canada. Revenues came in at over $211 thousand in Q4 2017, a 70% increase over the last quarter of 2016.

More recently, Emerald is jumping on the blockchain trend in a new joint venture with DMG Blockchain Solu-tions Inc. The two completed a letter of intent on January 26 of this year, forming a partnership and business plan to develop a blockchain based supply management system as well as an e-commerce market for their legal cannabis products.

Their partnership company, to be named CannaChain Technologies, will focus on everything from distribution, testing, consumer experience and producing. CannaChain’s management system aims to provide consumers full transparency about the entire production process from beginning to end, educating them on the product they are purchasing and where it came from.

Buy creating this blockchain platform Emerald will more easily be able to meet and track the requirements that are needed to operate under Health Canada in terms of reporting. Using a blockchain supply chain will provide a timestamped, digital ledger that will be virtually unhackable. Allowing every step of their process to be recorded from harvest to the hands of the consumer.

Blockchain technology will revolutionize the quality and integrity of many markets far beyond the cannabis industry. Imagine knowing the exact step by step journey of the food you serve your family or the bottle of wine you are buying — the same goes for cannabis.

It will become even more helpful as recreational marijuana becomes legal in Canada, providing a legitimate supply chain to validate the process.

Dhillon stated in a press release, “Cannabis is a prime industry in which to apply blockchain supply manage-ment based on the broad spectrum of plant and growing attributes, as well as product innovation potential; the growing trend of medical and in some cases recreational legalization, with the need for licensing as well as high security and confidence.”

It’s a win win for both companies. Emerald will lend their expertise and vast knowledge of the Canadian canna-bis business as they were one of the first licensed producers in the industry. Respectively, DMG is a lead crypto mining host provider with a strong focus in designing a supply chain meant specifically for meeting the challenges and opportunities the legal cannabis market faces.

Emerald is a legitimate cannabis operator with huge potential already. The company has the licensing, the exper-tise and the capacity to become one of Canada’s largest producers. Together, they have the opportunity to domi-nate Canada’s legal cannabis market.

The company has the potential to return massive gains to investors as it ramps up production and becomes a valued blockchain based operation.

Recommendation: Buy Emerald Health Therapeutics (OTCBB: EMHTF) up to $3.50.

Blockchain Play #3: Canada’s Hidden GemThere are plenty of companies looking to stake claim in the pending blockchain revolution.

However, more often companies are using the affiliation to grab headlines or boost share price with no real intention of becoming a blockchain based company.

Somewhere in the middle though, are the companies that have completely reinvented themselves to become blockchain or crypto focused. They’ve ditched their business model to jump feet first into this new trend set to change our financial landscape.

And landing right in that middle space is Marathon Patent Group (NASDAQ: MARA).

Marathon originally operated as an intellectual property licensing and commercialization company but more recently has switched gears to become fully blockchain/crypto-centric.

This shift comes after their recent acquisition of Global Bit Ventures Inc., a digital asset technology company that mines cryptocurrencies. According to Marathon, “this acquisition provides investors an opportunity to invest in one of the first NASDAQ-listed public companies to enter this rapidly growing industry.”

This kick-started their transition into crypto, but they didn’t stop there.

According to Global News Wire, the company also purchased “four new patents related to the transmission and exchange of cryptocurrencies between buyers and sellers.”

In a press release, Marathon’s CEO stated, “given our proficiency in identifying and acquiring important intellectual property, we believe that these patents afford us a unique and leverageable position, in addition to complementing our efforts as we enter into the digital asset and cryptocurrency business.”

At this point they have all the technology they need, the only missing piece of the puzzle is real estate.

Mining facilities are no more than rows of computers running 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all year long. With only one task — to be the first to solve a complex equations for payment for being the first to verify a transaction. This adds a new “block” of information to a global digital ledger know as blockchain.

As you may have guessed, when you are mining crypto you need space, and lots of it. You also need accessible, low cost electricity.

Well, look no further than our neighbors to the north. Marathon recently set up shop in Quebec, Canada.

Within a month of leasing a space they were up and running and have already begun mining bitcoin.

Marathon has already announced a plan to expand their operation. After and if expansion happens on the scale they have planned, it will make them one of the biggest mining operations in the world. Giving them they advantage they need over other companies trying to make a dent in the blockchain trend.

Marathon gives you access to the exciting potentials in the blockchain universe. The company is making wide-ranging investments in one of the most transformative trends of our time. It’s already made massive strides in establishing itself as a dominant leader and road to profits for investors.

Recommendation: Consider buying Marathon Patent Group (NASDAQ: MARA).

Take note, MARA is not included in the model portfolio, meaning I won’t be tracking it officially. If you decide to invest, monitor these stocks closely, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

Blockchain Play #4: The Comeback of The Century Our last blockchain play was once a household name and is now following suit to reinvent themselves and enter the technology space once again.

I’m talking about Kodak (NYSE: KODK), a once cutting-edge digital tech company that has since fallen off the radar. Well, that’s all about to change because they are back and with a brand new business plan.

After the digital photo craze passed, the company took a downturn and eventually filed for bankruptcy in 2012. Now, they have plans of a rebrand and it comes in the form of a new cryptocurrency called KodakCoin.

The company teamed up with WENN Digital, located in California to create the coin. In return Kodak will receive three percent of all KodakCoins issued and royalty on future revenue.

The coin is “a photo-centric cryptocurrency to empower photographers and agencies to take greater control in image right management” according to the New York Times. The idea behind the coin was to use blockchain to help photographers manage their work and create a record of ownership and accountability.

The company also recently completed a licensing deal for a Bitcoin-mining computer named Kodak KashMiner in which they can create their own cryptocurrency.

The stock has rebounded since their latest announcements and looks like it’s there to stay. Blockchain, because of its recent effect on the stock market has caused certain companies to transition overnight. But to reiterate, you have to be sure a company’s intentions are indeed blockchain related and not an overnight share boost.

Kodak has some critics saying that this transition is just like the others, a quick and easy way to bring the stock back from the dead and grab some money in the process. However, their chief executive, Jeff Clarke spoke openly about his vision for the company and its intention in the blockchain space.

Clarke spoke about the copyright problem within the industry and realized that blockchain could be a game-changer for photographers. He stated in the New York Times, “this is a real solution around digital rights management.” It could take down copyright violators as well as track ownership and reinvent how artists receive compensation for their work.

Presented at this year’s CES trade show, Kodak advertised a platform called KodakOne, in which photographers could upload their work and create a “blockchain-based ownership” of their images. The platform would then search the internet for any copyright infringement. Artists would also be able to accept KodakCoin as their method of payment. Creating a verified, transparent transaction.

The company believes that these projects are just small steps in a huge overhaul of the business. Being that the demise of Kodak came mostly due to lack of innovation, this seems like a big move in the right direction for them.

They are taking what they know best and adapting it to mainstream technology in their fight to make a comeback. If their technology can prove to solve the problem they intend to, this could be huge for the company and a hefty profit for early investors.

Recommendation: Consider buying Kodak (NYSE: KODK).

Take note, KODK is not included in the model portfolio, meaning I won’t be tracking it officially. If you decide to invest, monitor these stocks closely, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

Stay Tuned!Each one of these companies met a specific set of standards I look for when picking stocks to recommend to readers.

Be sure to keep an eye on your inbox! I’ll be sending you flash email updates as we watch these companies advance their technologies. You’ll be the first to know when there’s a profit opportunity on the horizon!

To a bright future,
