We picked 2 million up yesterday and now own 14 million shares.
Only see this firming up the base at half a penny to be honest and we continue to hold. All good news but not the news to take us into the pennies.
Gobsmacked with the amount of buying going on. !! What do people see that I don't? Terrible day for news to break on a Friday, would expect £1.10 on Monday.
Still more to sneak out, still uncertainty. Floor around £1.10.
Shorted from £1.31 still further to fall. Will turn long at £1.13.
Missed by the markets yesterday and gone back to sleep today. Anything under half a pence in my eyes is reasonable with so much going for it. The directors must be scratching their heads.
If you don't believe in esports or Cypto move along nothing to see here. I now have 12 million shares Yippeee.
See you when esports are the biggest thing on the planet.
How high does Mode have to go before VELA wakes up? !!
Topped up...Nice to see us averaging up for once !
Got more at .2275
Well done ....! I just trawled through the last time we bought Blue. Over 2 years ago and we got out at a decent profit and the price now is 86% cheaper. It's a steal at the current price.

Stellar is winning the battle of the blockchain payment networks against Ripple this week as sentiment flips in its favor.
Data from monitoring resource The Tie confirms that long-term sentiment toward Stellar's Lumen (XLM) is now higher than toward XRP, the altcoin in which the embattled Ripple is the largest stakeholder.
XLM sentiment beats out XRP
The figures serve as the latest warning to XRP investors, who have looked on in dismay as legal problems for Ripple in the United States have caused its value to dive by over 60%.

As of Jan. 5, the long-term sentiment score collated by The Tie stood at 70 for XLM but under 70 for XRP. Before the legal action, XRP sentiment was at an all-time high.

Ukraine deal sees XLM join 2021 alt season
Stellar received a boost this week in the form of a high-profile partnership with the government of Ukraine, under which it will help lawmakers digitize the national fiat currency, the hryvnia.
XLM/USD subsequently began rising, adding 30% to hit $0.176 on Tuesday — approaching its highest since November 2018. Transaction numbers last week hit new record highs.

While it remains unclear as to what extent the XLM token will feature in the Ukraine solutions, Stellar executives have confirmed that the payment system will form a major part of the deal.
"We look forward to working with the Ministry and other stakeholders to digitize the hryvnia, to bring Stellar-based tools and services to the people and businesses of Ukraine, and to introduce new partnership opportunities in Ukraine to businesses in the Stellar ecosystem," Denelle Dixon, CEO and executive director of the Stellar Development Foundation, commented in an accompanying press release.

XLM's gains compound a burgeoning altcoin resurgence that has fast become a calling card for 2021.
As Cointelegraph reported, various large-cap altcoins have seen weekly gains top 40%, with some seeing price levels return after a three-year hiatus.
The moves come in tandem with a slowdown for Bitcoin (BTC), which came off its own all-time highs of $34,800 to briefly dive to $27,700 on Monday. A consolidation period is key to allow altcoins to flourish, Cointelegraph Markets analyst Michaël van de Poppe has explained.
Bought here and Mode this morning !
First purchase for a month for us. Another couple of million shares added.
Guild Esports (LSE:GILD) became the first esports team company to list on any of the world’s major exchanges in October, raising £20m with a market capitalisation of £41m.
Esports are digital sports in which professional players compete on online platforms such as League of Legends, Dota, Rocket League, Fortnite, and Counter-Strike, before both physical and digital audiences. Their popularity has already surpassed traditional sports like basketball, ice hockey and baseball, drawing in an estimated global audience of 443m in 2019, which is expected to grow to some 650m by 2023. Esports followers currently generate revenues of around £4 per head, behind traditional sports at £28-£68, but through 2016-19 that rate grew at a compound of 15pc a year. The top esports teams are worth up to £300m.
Guild plans to develop a global franchise by building esports teams that will compete in all the major international esports tournaments, and by establishing a player training and scouting infrastructure modelled on the talent academies pioneered by Premier League football teams. The company has recruited David Beckham, who holds a 5pc stake, and graphic designer Fergus Purcell – known for his work on the Palace skatewear label – to promote the Guild brand.
Since listing Guild has signed a £3.6m three-year sponsorship deal with a European fintech company, which will promote its brand and logo on team jerseys and other marketing devices. The company has also released its first digital product range through an in-game customisation feature that will allow Rocket League players to personalise the skin of their in-game vehicles with the Guild brand. Direct-to-consumer sales of in-game items are an increasingly important revenue stream in the esports industry, expected to be the fastest growing esports revenue segment with growth forecast to increase from $7.1m in 2020 to $17.2m by 2023.
Guild is also signing leading esports players to the brand on the model of a Premier League football team. The company has announced its entry into the Fornite battle royal online multiplayer game with the signing of the top-ranked professional Nikolaj Andreas Frøslev (‘Flikk’), and signed a top-tier squad to compete in Valorant, a major new 5v5 multiplayer tactical shooter game launched by Riot Games in June this year.
Guild, whose shares are currently trading at 5.6p, is one to watch for those open to exposure to a growing market with which many investors will be unfamiliar.
