Ah, the cyclical 'dilution' bash appears yet again from the same poster. How many times is this now? When all else fails, roll out the dilution. We've already done mines yet again this morning, and that went nowhere either. Because it's all personal conjecture. Why on earth would Parry dilute his own company 'to oblivion'? and lose his credibility and personal investments, not least those that would have a potentially damaging effect on Railsbank? Yes, there'll be dilution as with every last AIM company, but it's part of growth strategy and what companies normally aim for is a balancing effect through revenue, deal making or future growth prospects/takeoff.

It's fine, you're allowed. :) It's a buy and sell market.

The basher nagging seems to hit a peak anytime the sp falls back and it's been pretty consistent since the 6.5p affair, which Parry himself showed what seemed to me to be restrained bemusement at in interview, as if he felt the sp had run away somewhat too fast, but accepted it was part of life on AIM. Pis, however, cannot, because unlike Parry,many here have proven they have no longer term plan and are just in it for quick money. A deal of the bashing of this company revolves around how it is 'poor' because it fell back from 6.5p. But anyone with half a brain on AIM knows these peaks and troughs are part of the landscape and are no barometer of future growth or potential/business strategy. They are just nice uplifts based on sentiment at that time, sentiment that comes and goes, moves around and returns. But the reduction from these levels are used as a weapon to bash the company. This tactic basically goes on for every company on these boards so whilst not particular to LION it is being ground out as 'rationale'.

I will again refer people back to the fact that Cameron Parry builds and runs successful companies and posters like this are but (usually paid) constant nagging anonymous opinions on a forum. Behind the condescending smugness lies some very unhappy, dissatisfied people.

If Berty's Forex investment was working out ask yourself why he's spending all his time here and on Twitter (as Robert Eccles) bashing one company night and day. And not out there spending his Forex profits and enjoying his life like all the successful people are. If you were a successful, happy trader and Forex was bringing you any happiness the last way you'd be acting would be like this.

We really need to stop replying to the 'Aim Fail' threads. This just gives this attention seeker the oxygen he craves and being a verified member should not give one carte blanche to behave as a troll, posting the same message non stop. Get it reported or e-mail the admin as filter is broken and one cannot even filter now. Whatever odd campaign this person has has gone beyond obsessive now and into the realms of just clogging the forum up to derail any proper conversation. We get them all the time on LSE, they are nothing new, or special, but need reporting all the same. If you pay money to use a service you need to use it correctly like the rest of the posters, verified or not, and not as a private trolling account.

I certainly don't think you are a troll, I think you have valid questions, and ultimately it's not my job or place to try and change your mind, I can only state my corner as to why we see things differently. It is purely up to you whether you get involved or not. We are so close to this being officially launched now it's really down to that and how they manage the rollout and PR. CP cool as a cucumber and successfully building companies before LION so to some extent I have to assume he knows what he is doing here.

Assuming the 'man on the street' isn't capable of comprehending, being excited or drawn by, and more importantly, having the disposable income to take up a new tech/banking product is as presumptively negative as the guy that came on here a few months ago and argued that all Indians were either too poor/too bothered about physical gold to take up the product. Some people seem to forget that everything has to have a starting point (even Eastenders!), you don't pop out of the ground fully-formed and automatically successful. These things can be taken up in a short period of time or over time. Some fall by the wayside. The people that took up the Glint and Goldmoney offerings are also going to be 'the man in the street' so who is to say LION cannot do the same, or any of the aforementioned companies client base might not move over or have yet another account. I am the 'man in the street' on a typical, full time but reasonably unimpressive northern English salary. It didn't stop me finding out about Goldbloc and LION and already holding bank cards, current and savings accounts, a pension, a SIPP and an ISA.

"DJWall, I just don't know who will take up GB." How do you know? Do you have links to all these people? "Not the ordinary man in the street that's for sure." How can you claim to speak for the 'ordinary man in the street'? Many 'ordinary men in the street' are on these boards or are very interested in money and tech savvy. "Only those on this board and in fintech circles will have heard of or are even likely to hear of Goldbloc and Lionsgold (a small bit actor on Eastenders has infinitely more visibility than Lionsgold)" Links to how many people are aware of it? That we cannot fully know. But effectively, this is why it is "rolling out soon". Soon is its full, official inception, its true beginning, just like Snapchat, Glint, Google, BooHoo, ete, etc, had a starting point. You can't see who will take it up. I can see who would.

I should add that last paragraph is more about investment in the company rather than buying the product but they are all different ways of investing or tying out money up in something or another. If you buy into Goldbloc, would life be more interesting and profitable with your money tied to the price of gold or the banks crap interest rates and equally fluctuating value? Again, it's purely a matter of your personal choice, risk assessment and financial commitment/viability. If you've no need for this app/card, you're not being forced to sign up. But I do think it's a good way to store and spend your own money, tied to a regulated product and a bit of a FU to the traditional banks too.

Zooropa, you're under no obligation to get involved if you've looked at it and it's not for you. Why would anyone want to convert you or change your mind? If you've looked at it and feel it's not worth committing to that is your right. Everyone has to assess this by their own financial situation and decide for themselves. If it doesn't ding your bell nobody should make you purchase product. Plenty here will and plenty more will think it a good idea and be able to afford all manner of cards and new shiny techhie things. It's another option for storage, spending and saving in an array of choice out there. I don't think CP has ever gone on record as pushing this as a 'must have' product. I genuinely think they have done their homework, recognise their target market/s (which may not be inherently obvious to us) and go from there. The links to fintech/blockchain and Railsbank banking platform alongside physical gold mines and a newly-developed product with app and card make it of interest to people, not to others. But then I ask myself would I invest here with a new product launching soon, with its own gold-backed and regulated setup or wait for eons for any of the tedious AIM oil and gas minnows to come in big time?

I always took to be UK based first, not necessarily India first or at the same time. The initial target of 20,000 struck me right away as being a UK-based target, as India simply has a bigger population altogether. CP did say the rollout would be a multi-type affair and it seems sensible to get the technology and platforms up and running in the UK first, where most current interest and networks are based. India will come when ready, and likely not far off imo. As for speaking to people on the inside, I've found when I've done this they can say one thing and then the next week the opposite happens, which may be out of their control anyway. Nobody had any inclination LION would go all in for TRAC until the last minute either, so I'm not convinced asking anyone on the inside for an up-to-the-minute account of policy/strategy is going to leave one ultimately any wiser - apart from gauging how much who you speak to knows their onions and their sociability factor. Phoning up, though good, still leaves outsiders on the last to know step, no matter how close it seems you've got.

https://cointelegraph.com/press-releases/mastercard-cyber-security-executive-leaves-role-for-blockchain-start-up-quant-network. So we have a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of Vocalink - a Mastercard company (where he was responsible for the Security of the UK�s payment infrastructure for the Bank of England, covering BACS, FasterPayments, Link and Cheque & Credit Schemes) prepared to leave this for... a startup blockchain company. Interesting.

The value of any resource project rises as you increasingly demonstrate its operational and economic viability."

Pilot Mountain Update Tue, 20th Feb 2018 10:37 RNS Number : 3851F Thor Mining PLC 20 February 2018 20 February 2018 THOR MINING PLC US GOVERNMENT CONFIRMS TUNGSTEN AS CRITICAL COMMODITY THOR ACCELERATES PILOT MOUNTAIN TUNGSTEN PROJECT, NEVADA, USA The Board of Thor Mining Plc ("Thor" or the "Company") (AIM, ASX: THR), is pleased to note that the United States Department of the Interior has recently advised that tungsten remains on the Federal Register of commodities classified as critical by the Unites States government. The register was published by the Department of the Interior on 16th February 2018 and may be accessed via following the weblink: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/02/16/2018-03219/draft-list-of-critical-minerals The Company further advises that in a publication by the U.S. Geological Survey, titled "Mineral Commodities Summary 2018", dated 31 January 2018, that there has been no production of tungsten concentrates from mining activities since prior to 2013. This report may be accessed via the following weblink: https://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/mcs/2018/mcs2018.pdf Thor Mining's wholly owned Pilot Mountain tungsten project in Nevada, USA, has a mineral resource inventory of 11.73 Million tonnes at 0.28% WO3 (Table 1), plus attractive by-product values for copper and silver. Against this positive backdrop, Thor has taken the decision to accelerate development at its Nevada based Pilot Mountain project and has commenced Phase 2 of metallurgical testwork along with scoping study work. Mr Mick Billing, Executive Chairman of Thor: "The Company's Pilot Mountain project with its substantial tungsten resource has Thor very well placed in the United States with the tungsten commodity recognised as a critical metal by the homeland authorities". "The Pilot Mountain resource inventory is already very substantial and when in production would be expected make a material contribution toward domestic demand for tungsten concentrates in the United States. At present the US is a significant consumer of tungsten products, and also a significant importer of tungsten concentrates along with scrap and other intermediate products." "What is important to recognise also is the scalability of Pilot Mountain, with significant potential for substantial growth in defined resource base. This adds considerably to the commercial attractiveness of the project, and the assertion that the project may offer long term production potential and become an important supplier of strategic tungsten concentrates in the US." "With its strong financial position Thor is focused on the commercialisation pathway and, in light of the tungsten criticality highlighted above, is to accelerate its Pilot Mountain project feasibility work.

dismal show for such good news and company progress. AIM really is baffling.

keeps on buying. Doc H keeps on crying. :)

Bash, bash, bash, bash, bash, went Doc H's little troupe of trolls and arse kissers, who appeared on this bb all together now. Yawn. You lot are so predictable it's embarrassing.

I don't believe you. Pi doing a bit of profit taking doesn't bomb an sp backwards like this on excellent news. Nearly 22% down? No there are biggers players dictating things here, sorry.
