As i sold everything at 0.6 i feel i'm still '100% up' as it were. and i did just fine on TPX, MKA, IQE, MRO... damn, if only i'd bought GST (oh, i also traded 500k shares in GST a couple of days back from 0.39 > 0.441... i was the first 500k buy on the day, so made some M&S dinner money on that too).

while i don't agree with the volume of posting, am totally on the side of Chaebol and his opinion on the company. if he was anywhere close to being wrong about them i'd expect to see huuuuge buying by HNWI's (aside from billy!) into this... which there isn't... not even hedging buys from the court case in case the treasury shares need to be handed back (imagine the 'victory' of getting those shares back, having been sold at 500% the current price!)

but, gla. hope something goes your way.

Of course the bag will 'sell'.... there's enough stupid money about that even kind blooody kardashian will be interested, as whoever buys it will get their money back just on the hype, same as BSFA and y'day's ramp!

the question is what is the genuine market for TRex leather and how economical it is, relative to cow hide/snakeskin/crock skin?

the only surprise is that blooody Trump hasn't worked out an angle to release a TRex bible cover, for those religious idiots who think dinosaurs were around at the same time a jeebus!

'if your tolerance to risk is good...' is the same kind of investing philosophy as buying a lottery ticket or buying a car from facebook marketplace in an ASDA car park!

risk is meant to be mitigated by some facts... and not 'facts' stated by those who are already in with a horrible average.

there are better bets than this... the fact that it now gets ramped so often it's now got no genuine new investors (and no iis or hnwis) says it all.

but if you buy lottery tickets too...

...and i agree that 47/46 is a great entry point for new investors... but we all know most hold off buying until they see it start to rise, whether it's from early movers looking at the next 7-10days and the publication or an rns/social media post that makes the case for an imminent rise.

54p seems fairly easy to hit... 60p has resistance (for me) and 70p as the upside is posted more and more...

(not that anyone will read this, obvious...)

The seething that gets posted is both comical and generates a similarly pointless response when i see folk getting so precious that they can't stand an opinion that points out a temporary weakness so... just filter. i don't care if you don't respond... i'm happy to see my posts published, especially when they're factual.

just filter... you'll feel cosier about your own investing position!

Think i've been fairly spot on with my predictions. and haven't said anything doomy at all, if you agree that 10-15% retrace isn't disastrous? or is it only disastrous when i state it?

(and why does it matter what i post about what happens to this week's sp if you're here for the 2030 results?)

Own opinion is that sp has had its shakeout... will obviously be more money needed down the line but, right now, there's enough news to come to keep the sp optimistic from 46... but company really DO need to expand its management to split duties in the recylcing because the tpa's have been deliberately vague about timelines and they've been used by 'certain parties' to max their profits on the 33p placing.

retrace, now it's happened is 'obvious', as can be seen in the shift in comments, now talking about 2027 but if all the plants are now ready and commissioned, no reason not to anticipate news on that front soon. as soon as they start to prove up their production targets, things on the recycling plant firm up the sp.

There's a biiiig disconnect between the hopes and the genuine fears. and i'm still expecting a placing... what price, gawd knows but it won't be at a premium. better than the 0.13 i was thinking, now it's been ramped by the court case optimism.

but gla.

So it isn't those. this is just mm's having fun panicking holders during the empty space between rns'. last week's german rns pushed the price to 54p. don't forget it was only bought on 33p placings and lots of open market buys in the 30s so mm's have been playing the market. the 300k was likely a cross trade so at the lower price (but still in profit from the placing).

this share is particularly overkeen on overbuying... whether that 'trend' follows after the publication, the vote and then the listing is another matter altogether and, hopefully, there won't be the lulls to give mms the space to play the market.

The sp is almost back at its pre rns' about the German acquisition and yet, at 47, i don't see many buyers?

why is everyone on here trumpeting the 'incredible' opportunity but not dipping their hands in their pockets? is everyone afraid of 'more money'?

'cruelty-free'!

no dinosaurs were hurt during the making this handbag...

100tpa might as well be 1,000tpa until they show they doing better than 7tonnes! until then...

The MiCA Failure: Does it Bear on the EMI Decision?

You asked if failing to obtain a MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) licence—which forced GST to voluntarily suspend all crypto trading services via Finferno/GS Fintech in April 2026—would impact the FCA's EMI decision.

It absolutely carries weight, for two massive reasons:

Regulatory Track Record and "Fitness": The FCA and European regulators (like the Bank of Lithuania, where GST's MiCA application was under intense scrutiny regarding corporate ownership structure) regularly share information. If an applicant struggles to satisfy EU regulators on corporate structure, compliance, and ultimate beneficial ownership, the FCA will dig twice as hard into those exact same areas for a UK EMI licence.

The Business Model Pivot: Because their crypto trading revenue has been frozen since April 2026 pending regulatory alignment, GST's cash-burn rate is under an absolute microscope. An EMI applicant must demonstrate a robust, fully funded business model to meet the FCA's strict capital adequacy requirements. With a widening net loss and less than a year of cash runway, proving financial stability becomes a much higher hurdle.

The Operational "Elephant in the Room"

There is a fresh debate tearing through the share chat right now that perfectly backs up concerns about its future.

Following recent communications from investor relations, a major point of concern has emerged regarding the FCA's new safeguarding rules (PS25/12), which came into effect in May 2026. The company indicated that these stringent new compliance, daily reconciliation, and annual safeguarding audit rules wouldn't impact Angra until the 2027 period.

Skeptical investors are rightly pointing out that the FCA expects EMI applicants to be compliant with current standards from day one, not next year. If Angra is still operating on lighter API standards and treating the 2026 safeguarding regime as a future hurdle, it suggests the EMI approval is nowhere near as imminent as the bulls hope.

The Verdict: Your reframed question is exactly what retail investors should be asking. The likelihood of success is heavily bogged down by capital requirements, strict new 2026 FCA safeguarding laws, and the reputational hangover of having to freeze their European crypto operations. Focusing on whether the tech works on Coalculus is a total distraction from the regulatory brick wall they are trying to climb.

The Coalculus Trap: Why the Loaded Question is Irrelevant

The reason the original question ("Would an EMI enable Angra to use Coalculus?") is fundamentally flawed is that the licence has absolutely nothing to do with the underlying blockchain choice.

The Reality: An EMI licence gives regulatory permission to issue electronic money, manage digital wallets, and hold client funds under strict safeguarding rules.

The Tech: Whether Angra uses the Coalculus platform (which GST partnered with years ago via Wise MPay) or standard SQL databases is completely secondary to the FCA. The FCA cares about compliance, safeguarding, capital adequacy, and anti-money laundering (AML)—not which distributed ledger tech they want to plug into.

Why the "Meme Crowd" Needs This Story

Currently, Coalculus is, as you noted, effectively worthless to the broader crypto market. For the "anonymous investor" crowd on LSE and ADVFN who bought into the early GS Money / stablecoin hype, the only way they ever get a payout on that specific angle is if a narrative is created where:

FCA Approval⟹Angra Success⟹Massive Coalculus Utility

By asking the AI a loaded question like "Would an EMI enable Angra to use Coalculus?", they are trying to generate a copy-pasteable piece of "pro-bull evidence" to post on the message boards. They want the AI to say "Yes," so they can run to the chatrooms and type: “Look! AI confirms the EMI licence will unlock the true value of the Coalculus ecosystem! 5p soon!”

What a loaded question! wouldn't it be better to ask what good evdience is there that a. GST have applied for an EMI and b. under their current situation, what is the likelihood that GST would receive an EMI? what would be the prerequisites for a company to successfully receive it and does GST's company profile make such a thing likely?

be interested in the reply to that unloaded question!

You think i'm talking about me? i'm talking about the reason the sp dips from 3 rns' and 54 and why it finds it difficult to hold its price. even though it's 'only' slipped 10%. i'm waiting for the publication and the vote and maybe even the IPO but i'll leave the 240p to everyone else. but i'm amused at why folk think i'm only in this for 10%... this'll be about the fifth time i've been 'accused' of only being in this for 10%.

personally, i'm quite happy to ride the politics of it and the enthusiastic blue sky talk of 240... i'm not going to sit on this forever because, if i think 50p is getting rich then i suspect the news will have to be of US takeover proportions to beat 100p and i just don't see that happening whie revenue is still at the sampling level. i'm not in this for a £500 profit but, similarly if my holding loses 10% and i find it annoying then i imagine the drop for the 10p holders is 5x my paper loss and, while i'd still be comfortable with a 450% profit to keep me smug about the future, understand why there aren't enough investors beating down the door at these prices sufficient to push the sp higher... at least until the next good news drops.and i would have though there must be masses of news to post without rnsing that would support the sp to remove the slides... if nothing else, the BoD must be massively overworked trying to keep all of this together and so a bigger management team would add a good degree of security that nothing was being held back by too much work for too few hands.

Advice from the '20 minuters'... why don't you add £10,000 at the current price, if you're convinced this will add another 175.36% in the coming months? then let's see how casual you are about the future...

Just interested to know if the offenders actually have the cash to pay the sums being sought. i mean, is that even part of the pre proceedings? or is it going to e a pyrrhic victory?

The doubt comes from the consistency of the sp. the reason for being here is for the 25% jump when the F-4 is publicly released and the vote goes through.

might even stay for the IPO but talking about the sp ONLY when it rises isn't going to bring in the new investors. it's proof that the investment is cast iron... and it's why the blue sky references to 'china squeezing...' or 'this would be 200p if it was in the US' is as pointless as my posts are accused of being. but i post for anyone who'd looking for a weakness to get in... i don't move the markets i just point it out. and what's the problem with pointing out at 48 is a good price (even when it was at 54)? and, without some news i question whether 48 is the lowest it gets...

Sorry but can't be bothered with green box (presumably) personal jibes. but if it makes you feel better about the 10% dip...
