Billy, quit with the comedy. it's an obvious distraction.

you'll be quoting EMS next.

Not while the wife holds a third of the shares... they'll keep trying to stand it up.

Sand. good news is good news... doesn't matter when you post it!

MBO announced their good news an hour before close on nye. this morning they're up 70%.

like i said, good news prevails, whenever it's released.

I wonder if they're 'confident' about a Semnet success...

Someone is trying hard to stick their head in the sand!

anyone who doesn't at least read posts, even if they choose to dismiss them is... probably in the situation they're in precisely because of that conduct!

there's a world of difference between empty ramping/deramping and information, good or bad! try green boxing the insults instead, they're the ones that are pointless.

Not sure an £8k buy signals a stellar start to 2026 but each to their own...

Actually, Billy, investing 101 is protect your investment and hedge your bets when the news look more negative than positive.

everyone here has seen the same signs that the market has but are still in it, a year later!

maybe the shorts information is 'investing 102'?

Well, Bfd, that's bllx... you're choosing to selectively discredit the points i make... i'm merely using the comments that have been made by posters comparing GST with miners. but that's fine. i understand trying to defend your investment. what you don't understand is there are more holders than just the few who read this bb. and so trades are done from market news and algos and larger investors protecting their money or looking for opportunities.

the fact that the same 20 names have been bad-mouthing 3 or four posters who've been pointing out the potential weaknesses for the past year while the sp has lost 80% of its value due to bad placings, lack of news, silences, poor btc buys, acquisitions that they place for but don't complete and other acquisitions that take months or a year to complete (or still haven't completed) says something about your ability to second guess or protect your money.

so i'm fine with your attempts to ridicule the criticisms and i don't care what you, personally have to say to try and discredit the post. and i find that, with billions spent on AI a couple of comments from the same names on here can attempt to invalidate AI responses is HILARIOUS!

a few here should tell those tech bros just how to fix their companies... better yet, give GST the benefit of your experience and knowledge!

Bfd, if you don't get that the info i post isn't JUST a self-congratulatory statement of intent but ALSO some interesting information to take onboard and maybe utlise then you're going to end up like massive and just endlessly post derogatory remarks about posters.

hopefully, this year, the bb will grow up and stop taking out their anger at the paper losses (or real ones) and read the words instead.

'FCA were never ready... in 2022'... remarkable casual hindsight, considering the thousands of posts highlighting that it was the signpost to a £10 share price by 2024!

the 'keep calm and carry on' opinions are admirable but i think everyone is forgetting that this is just about the crrappiest mcap it's had: £10million of which £2million is our 1.2p placing and the now matches the total placings they've done since taking over.

while everyone talks about how this is a better bet than miners... well, anyone want to make that point again? because the MiCA debacle is pretty much GST's duster!

I see 22Jan is being highlighted because of a podcast... but we've already seen that their first podcast offered nothing so i don't see that as being significant. but, maybe...

Reapplying for MICA news will be nice but they've already said Q1 and, as we've seen, with GST, any vague dates usually means the latest possible.

don't care about stablecoin for now... they have bigger issues to deal with.

could see an rns saying 'everything is great and Poland means all is as wa's... but that'll be bllx. but it might make folk here happy to add more...

with MICA now having to be re-applied (and i'll only believe it when they actually reapply) and that taking until July-september to conclude, i imagine all the rampy talk is going to be about Nuvei and Brazil. So the only news im looking for is some kind of update on a Brazil local manager, to stabilise its switch of current interest to there.

that's the first sign i'll be happy with that this has a legitimacy for investing at a miserable price.

for me, 0.5 is cheap but not as cheap as it'll get in Q1. and the longer it goes without news.... but i can see that ramps talking about 2026 being 'the year it all happens' as if 2026 is only a week's worth of waiting might see a spike or two. would like to take advantage of them but entry price is a mystery down here. while the sp is low enough for a punt i'd hate to over pay and, unfortunately, like chaebol, i have a suspicion of a placing and subscription in which BoD will participate in to bring their 2p average waaaay down. don't know if i'd buy around here but i'll have money waiting for that, if it goes ahead in the next month or two.

could be utterly wrong, of course, and i can guarantee not many folk say that on here... certainly not the rampers.

just hope they get the reapplication done asap as anyone who pretends that DACH suddenly isn't important or damaging to chase, then they don't deserve to call themselves investors.

gla.

At least, then, you'll get real time updates on whether there are hiccups or everything is working as before.

Bfd, what's nauseating to you is that i say something that comes good for the time that i say it. i can see when there's optimism in buying and i'm not so in love or so in deep that i can't dig myself out of it.

sorry that it doesn't comply with your positions... but it is what it is.

don't move the discussion away from the news. that's just obfuscation.

Billy, respectfully, whatever your fortunate/unfortunate circumstances are, you'v prevailed in broadcasting your buys like a pied piper and you well know that lare buys encourage others to presume it's safe for them to add, without understanding your own circumstances or how easy you money is or comes to you.

but there are people (not me, i hasten to add) who've probably gone all in on your ramps. now, that obviously on them for following an anonymous poster who says they have enough shares to count as a HNWI but 'avoids' statutory obligations. but every post anyone posts knows what they're doing. you know when you're ramping... just as i know when i post a negative. the difference is i try to validate the negative (or positive) from info... whereas your just say 'i'm buying, looks at meeeeee' but you know full well why you do it.

and, until this is back over 1p you're culpable for folks' losses, by broadcasting your position. at least i say that the picture changes daily and can have opps to buy lower and sell higher.

i don't wish you personal ill... but i still say you're no better than the 'trollsters' that are constantly castigated for, on this occasion, being right.

but

Billy, you don't invest... you're just someone who got the benefit of RR bounce post covid who's now lost money on their six month rise and, now 60% drop from taking money out of that and into this.

buying a couple of million shares at 0.45 doesn't make up for the 15% drop on your umpteen million shares held from last night! making 5% on £5k doesn't compensate for a 15% loss on £100k or whatever you say your holding is.

bravo for having so much cash that you don't mind the paper loss but don't keep up with the public display of indifference on a share that has been merciless in taking money from pi's... and, for all you know, will continue to do so as the repercussions of this ripple out (maybe) over the coming weeks and months.

i feel sorry for anyone who followed your childish and, frankly, arrogant yumyum posts and thought that meant you were a sophisticated investore with an inside track on thsi company.

trying not to be personal but your amiable arrogance has screwed a good few on here. much more so than any cautious comments on the downside by others like... me, for example!

but it is what it is and i daresay you'll put a monied brave face on it now and suggest it's all going to be sunshine and roses in 2026... when there are better plays out there, daily!

but good luck... i hope your ge your money back and more to come. if you do well then others will, those that are too stuck to take any affirmative action now. hope ti rides well...

... and you don't think share holders who bought on the 'yum yums' at 0.65 WON't be fuming???

being selective in your ciriticsms are easily shown up.

and you still don't know what will happen to Bake over the holidays and which juristiions might get banners stating a temporary (or otherwise) situation will take place. Certainly GST would seem to be in for a tough time in Germany as nothing that has been implemented will rectify that. Not sure about the rest of DACH but to suggest nothing much changed today is just... wrong.

understand holders saying 'and, moving on' but this hasn't resolved. it's only 3 hours into the change... there's still repercussions to be had... not least the revenue over the next six months into the interims.

You can but hope, magic! hny to you, too.

What is required, for profits, is a very low average, and a share that won't drop so low as to go into administration or take longer than 5years for investors to recover the holder's cash.

a 2p average for BoD is just... awful. even the 1.35p punt looks embarrassing, from the standpoint of having insder knowledge of how the business is truly running. makes you realise that maybe they're not as savvy as holders want them to be.

Oh, that's true, Nero... buy you won't post the info, which is infinitely better than your held opinions.

so much for the 'nothing has changed' line.

just be honest about the posts as they're worrying and set back GST for a year... with all the financial implications on revenue and institutional relations.

When a company like GSTechnologies says "nothing has changed" in the face of a regulatory setback, they are usually speaking about the technical availability of the app, rather than the legal long-term standing.

Here is the reality of how Bake is affected, regardless of the "business as usual" tone in the RNS:

1. The "Nothing has Changed" Claim

From a user's perspective, they are technically correct today.

Existing Funds: Your assets are still there, and the app still functions because the Finferno (Poland) acquisition acted as a "safety net."

The Nuvei Link: Because their payment "plumbing" via Nuvei is already set up, the ability to deposit and withdraw hasn't been "unplugged" overnight.

2. How Bake IS actually affected (The "Fine Print")

While the app is open, the legal "passport" that MiCA provides is currently gone. This creates three major issues that have changed:

Marketing Freeze: Under MiCA rules starting tomorrow (Jan 1), if they aren't fully licensed, they legally cannot "solicit" or market to new customers in many EU countries. You might see a sudden stop in their social media ads or referral programs.

The "Germany Problem": Germany’s regulator (BaFin) is notoriously strict. While Bake says "nothing has changed," German users might find themselves suddenly unable to access certain high-interest "Earn" products or staking features, as these require specific MiCA-level protections that the Polish VASP doesn't provide.

Trust and Growth: "Reapplying" is a red flag for institutional partners. While retail users might not care, big liquidity providers or other fintechs may hesitate to work with Bake until that license is signed and sealed.

3. Why they are saying "Nothing has Changed"

This is a standard "damage control" strategy to prevent a bank run.

If they said, "We failed our license and we're worried," everyone would withdraw their funds at once, crashing the company.

By saying "nothing has changed," they are relying on the Polish VASP to act as a legal placeholder. They are essentially moving the "legal home" of your account from Lithuania to Poland behind the scenes.

Summary: The "Bake" Reality Check

They Say... The Reality is...

"Nothing has changed" The legal jurisdiction has changed (to Poland).

"Operating as normal" Growth is likely stunted in the EU until the reapplication is successful.

"Committed to MiCA" They are now 6–9 months behind their original schedule.

In short: Your funds are likely safe for now because of the Nuvei/Poland setup, but the "explosive growth" investors were hoping for from a day-one MiCA license is officially on ice.
