Suspect (and hope) that this will go higher next week.

I reiterate that this is very high risk - and there are valid points on both sides which should be respected. However, you could argue that there is more clarity now and it is a better situation re funds having been received than it was at the end of Oct when there was a big upturn based on farm out hope and money coming in updates. I think it goes to show that more than anything momentum and sentiment are the most important factor on aim. Hopefully there will be some positivity now.

Have to agree that yesterday was more than a little disappointing - but when the dust settles, the situation isn’t that different to what it was before.. High risk v high reward and a binary outcome. Fingers crossed for a pleasant surprise.

Fingers crossed the ‘shortly’ referred to in previous updates is next week - and we get the news that we are hoping for. Best wishes all.

And for what it’s worth, I think we could be in for a spectacular ending to the week. Fingers crossed…

Have said it before, there always has to be balance and there are valid points on both sides and people are perfectly entitled to share their views, whether positive, negative or neutral. The only thing I don’t get is why anyone without ‘skin in the game’ would waste time posting. The reality is that almost all aim investments are volatile - people are here for the potential reward, but the risks are greater than in other investments. Put bluntly, none of us know how any of these will pan out - we can research, go with our gut and ultimately need some luck. Hopefully this comes off - it has potential. But the hour by hour and day to day fluctuations won’t really matter if you stay patient - there will be dips and spikes along the way.

Within reason, the day to day fluctuations and updates like in the last couple of days are a sideshow. If there is a hint of an RTO / progress in this regard, the price will rise - potentially significantly, and vertically. If not, it will stagnate and decline. It is not a conventional investment as such, it is an all or nothing RTO speculative play. Best wishes all.

All quiet at the moment, but I suspect it won’t be long before the topic of RTO once again looms and is featured in a more heavily populated discussion board. This is definitely high risk, and I think anyone investing has to realise these things take time and it will be a binary outcome. It might never happen, could be years, but maybe more has been going on behind the scenes in periods of quiet and there may be an update of sorts sooner than we think. Best wishes to all.

There is no doubt that it’s a bit of a rollercoaster and no-one really knows what is coming next. It’s all speculation. But I think the reality is that more balance is needed - at the end of the day, surely we all want this to do well and it could do. However, it might not - and those on both sides of the discussion have valid points which should be acknowledged. I do feel care is needed however with the hyperbole and exaggeration. On both sides. Momentum is just as powerful as facts some times and I think / hope it is a positive period for all.

Anticipation continues to build here as we hopefully get closer to what I hope will be positive news. There have continued to be some great posts - on both sides it has to be said - and whilst we should not make any decisions based on a bb, those that share research or valid views, from whichever position, help to foster discussion and thought and for that we should be both respectful and grateful. I am very hopeful here - yes, there are plenty of ‘ifs’, but it is hard to gauge what this could be if it works out. In some ways, that makes me feel surprised we are still at this level. We have to be sensible and realistic, but I’m sure we can all think of shares where anticipation and ‘ifs’ alone have led to rises - with the sp declining, rising further or stabilising after results. Here we have a share which in many ways has an unquantifiable level on positive news, but is not having the rises that other companies can sometimes have based purely on what could be achieved and prior to results. As always, whatever your position and view, best wishes to all.

The will undoubtedly be plenty of examples, but I can’t think of many occasions where there is such anticipation and speculation ahead of an update. In the bigger scheme of things, my view is that a few extra days or even weeks is immaterial in the context of what is undeniably complex work, and I would rather have a meaningful update (hopefully positive of course), than a ‘woolly’ one. Of course, the longer the wait, the more speculation (both positive and negative) grows. I am very hopeful for this share (albeit fully aware there are two sides to the argument), and think (hope), news will be great. My only fear is that expectations will be unrealistically high for the next news update - and this level of expectation will be exacerbated by the perceived lack of news. Patience is key, but as long as there is progress I think that is all we can ask for. As I said in a previous post, we mustn’t get drawn into the ‘we are the world’s fastest and greenest etc…’. That would be great, of course, but we must not be too disappointed if progress is more subtle. Best wishes to all.

As we know, there is a potential upside here which is almost unquantifiable if (key word being if) everything falls into place. There are, as I have said before, valid arguments for and against this share. I am invested here but fully appreciate that for every reason to invest, there is a perfectly valid rationale not to. I think the anticipation ahead of the next RNS is palpable - and let us hope that ‘no news is good news’. In my view, it is part of a careful strategic plan so that ‘all of the ducks are in a row’. I certainly hope so. But we must also be realistic. An extra few weeks waiting for news might feel like an eternity for investors, but it is nothing in the context of what must be highly detailed and complex work. I also think that we have to be careful not to expect too much in such a relatively small time scale. Whilst anything is possible, we shouldn’t get sucked in to expecting a ‘we have been successfully mining in world record time’ update. That may well (and I certainly hope so) eventually be the case. But let’s just hope for a positive progress update in the first instance and see where that takes us. Best wishes to all.

Many (many) months ago, the court case may well have been a significant driver for investment and any ‘perceived’ delays may well have had negative impact on price. But the reality is surely that this is, as many on here have indicated, a potentially nice bonus. But it is not the reason or main reason to be invested. Also, unless you are a day trader or need to access funds, the day to day fluctuations (within reason) do not matter. Yes, it’s a great feeling when it’s risen - but it is only after all theoretical and on paper. We all know that news is pending - now it may well be negative or neutral. No-one knows. But the real reason we are here is that there is undoubted potential on a scale as yet to be clarified. Let’s see what the next few weeks bring. Best wishes to all.

It may end up quieter today, but the very fact that there were so many posts yesterday shows that there is growing interest and lots of speculation and discussion here. Again, there are no guarantees and I think patience and perspective are crucial. But sentiment, interest and momentum can be a real driving force behind potential gains. There are valid arguments for and against this share, but if everything falls into place….. who knows where it could lead. QBT is trying to position itself in a highly sought after and niche area - that is quite a rare thing in my view. There will be competition, of course, but hopefully they will achieve success. Best wishes to all.

I think that this warrants update and the ‘options’ package for the expert signifies that there is a quiet confidence among those who are best placed to have an opinion. Of course there are risks, but why on earth would you get involved or agree to being paid in options if this was not a company with concrete potential. Best wishes all.

The irony is that to an extent, those with completely opposing views are in some ways correct. There is not one ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ and either side could find flaws in the opposing argument. I am invested and think this is risky - but personally feel that if there was zero chance of good progress, the expert would not have ‘signed-up’ for the options package. That, for me, at least suggests that there is some potential. The SP is in a better place than it was a week ago - it may fall again, who knows. But unless you are a day trader, that does not matter - notwithstanding if there is an immediate need to release funds. Bitcoin and the focus on green mining are not going to go away - so at least this is in a sector that will grow further. As I have said before, it is so important to be balanced - after all, logic often goes out of the window on aim. Time will tell of course - maybe the answer lies in between the two opposing points of view.

Personally, I think the goalposts have changed here. Earlier in the year, many (myself included), had the court case as one of the fundamental reasons for investing. But I don’t think that is the case now - and I think it is highly unlikely to be resolved in the near-term. For that reason, any RNS linked to the court case in November is, in my view, unlikely to inform
us of anything new, other than timescales and the next stage of the process. It is the ‘crypto’ updates that will (or won’t) have an impact on the share price. Granted, the court case is potentially a positive sideline, but is not the driver / incentive to invest here as it once may have been.

As with all aim investments, no-one really knows how things will develop. I think that, as I have said before, posters who have completely opposing views have valid points here - we must respect that. I am invested, and see it as speculative. But there is something about the ‘crypto’ sector and direction of travel in the industry that does, in theory, align with what is happening at QBT. Speed and environmentally friendly mining seem to be pivotal - and the experts seem to be making progress. They also have the incentive of options - surely they would not have ‘signed up’ if there was ‘no chance’ of success. The danger with crypto stocks is that arb is used as the benchmark. Whilst astronomical rises like that do happen, we must be realistic. But the options are not for 100p - instead for 5p and 10p so that, over a sensible timescale, would seem to me to be plausible, if not guaranteed. There will be many who could equally justify the opposite, but with positivity, sentiment and continued progress, maybe the goals will be achieved. Best wishes all.

I think that this week’s RNS has been a timely reminder that this share - whilst still in the high risk / high reward category - does have potential. As has been clearly evident, a lot of the positive sentiment was lost directly after the name change, but, despite the valid points both for and against this share and the ‘ifs, buts and maybes’, there is perhaps a realisation that if the stars align and more positive progress of this nature is made, the options prices are not as unrealistic as might have seemed a few months ago. Who knows, they may even seem minuscule one day. The court case is not the reason why most are invested here - it may or may not come to fruition. But the ‘crypto’ sector, coupled with the need for energy saving and efficiency, are not going away - and the experts working on the r&d strategy will be fully aware of that fact. There are perfectly valid and reasonable opposing views of course, but I hope that momentum starts to build now there has been a hint of what might follow. Best wishes to all.

To an extent, and now that some of the dust has settled following the Cenkos news and the polarity of views since, it is great to see that positive sentiment seems to be returning. As I have said before, this is a great board and we should be grateful for the insightful posts to help us develop our knowledge, not forgetting those which make us all smile. There is, of course, a balance and I think posters both for against this share have valid points of view which we must respect. But regardless of that, we should never underestimate the power of positivity, sentiment and momentum. Without those ingredients, I’m not sure if any share in any sector would reach its potential, regardless of how good their product or service may be. Let’s see what the next few weeks bring. Have a great weekend everyone.
