Cant remember exactly how much FFWD has in Factom, but this will make NUU look small, which we are (I think in this BB) estimating based on fundamentals / facts around +/- 2 billion? can anyone share what our holding is in Factom? The MC of FFWD is about 19M, I'm expecting that FFWD will be a mid cap before the year is out especially with the other investments in the portfolio. GLA

heres the third part.... pay attention to the last paragraph.... Note: Factom Inc. (the entity that is referenced as "Factom" above) should actually be considered a user of the Factom blockchain. They are developing BaaS solutions on top of the Factom blockchain, as are Sphereon and Kaula currently. So in reality, companies are utilizing the protocol to create solutions. It is these 3rd party companies solutions that we are waiting on being adopted by enterprise clients. This is a distinction that many fail to understand. Factom the blockchain can succeed without Factom Inc. succeeding. And Paul Snow has said multiple times that he expects the usage from the Factom Inc. BaaS solutions to only account for 5% of the total Factom blockchain usage in the long term. The current market cap of Factom (the protocol) is ~400M as of today, 1/18/18. As one of the first cryptocurrencies with the developed technology and products to deliver actual Fortune 100 company solutions in 2018, Factom is immensely undervalued. The usage of the protocol drives the price of FCT. Once Factom names these enterprise companies, the floor price will mathematically increase, and the speculative multiple will increase, as well. For those new to Factom, I urge you to ask questions, to think about the value proposition (secured data) that Factom is delivering to major companies and to the world, and we are lucky in that now is the time to accumulate FCT prior to the major announcements that are coming within the next few months.

here's the second part.... Factom has a brilliant economic solution to enterprise adoption, meaning that major companies (usually with lots of red tape) appreciate how easy it is to use Factom. Instead of having to buy a cryptocurrency (which, surely, legal teams and corporate risk departments would frown upon), Factom developed what's known as a 2-token system, where companies buy Entry Credits (EC's), to use the Factom protocol -- this allows major corporations to use the protocol without having to deal with the red-tape mess of actually buying a cryptocurrency. The cost for anyone to buy EC's? -- $0.001 AKA 1/10th of a cent. Sounds cheap? It is. These institutional clients can use the Factom protocol for FAR cheaper than the existing, expensive and less secure methods that they have in place today. And the great thing about Factom is that the more the protocol is used, the HIGHER the price of the Factoid (FCT). Meaning that the more companies signing on the dotted line with Factom, the higher the price of the token. Per the AMA, Factom recommends that, "these enterprise clients (such as banks) will use tens of thousands of EC's PER MORTGAGE. Large institutional mortgage lenders usually have between 300K and 500K loans PER YEAR with 100 documents per loan and roughly 1,000 points of data. Also, the loans can last 30 years, with most lasting 7 - 10 years, and the lender will need to continually update the chain of data with payments, taxes, escrows, for years." What this quote is saying is that the Factom protocol, even through one major client, can seriously drive up the floor price of FCT. Considering that Factom has 20 - 30 signed NDA's at this time (per the AMA), and that their recent marketing efforts have been with Fortune 100 companies, it's reasonable to suggest that Factom's price can expect a meteoric rise when these clients are brought off the testnets in the coming month and onto the mainnet.

PART 1.... message via factom.... erm.... you may want to buy some ffwd ...soon. IMO.... During Factom's testnet presentation that occurred on 1/18/18 (today), the Factom team released an Update. Not only did Factom announce that they are eager to announce the names of some of their institutional clients in Q1/2018 (and I repeat - actual clients - not partnerships), but they also announced that along with IOTA, Factom was selected for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's blockchain business camp Tokyo accelerator program which matches potential enterprise/financial clients with blockchain-based solutions in Japan. Because of the opportunities presented from the accelerator program to match potential enterprise clients to blockchain solutions, factom has decided to open an office in Tokyo in Q1/2018. Factom also has an office in China, as well, and is establishing itself as an international presence in the market for data security. This news, in addition to Factom's assertions that they have brought on clients in the Fortune 1000 (with MOST discussion as of late being with Fortune 100 companies), shows just how much work Factom has put into the development and marketing of their solutions to enterprise clients. Just as an example, at the Annual Mortgage Bankers Conference, in October 2017, Factom was requested to meet, present, and demo their products 25 times in just two days.....25 times. For those not familiar enough, Factom creates a decentralized data layer on top of the Bitcoin blockchain, and that data layer can house public chains or private chains. We live in the Information Age, and Factom aims to secure the world's data - making that data immutable and easily auditable. Factom does not store the actual documents; it is not a storage solution for data. Factom hashes the data so it is easily traceable, unchangeable, and trackable over time. Factom SECURES data - it does not store data. And this data security is wildly attractive to enterprise clients (institutional, governmental, financial). By Factomizing (securing) your data, you can prove that documents or even physical parts (such as in security cameras) have or have not been tampered with. If I am a bank with millions of mortgages, and my mortgages are Factomized through Factom's champion product, Harmony, then I can easily run an internal audit to identify deficiencies or incomplete information, and in doing so, with comprehensive knowledge of the state of my mortgages, I can implement best practice solutions. Not only would I have an effective means of trusting the integrity of my data (through Factom), but I would also have the tools to comply with legal regulations such as Dodd Frank. So not only is my data secured, but I become more protected by lowering my risk.

looking good for next steps

Nice to see this moving up fast, likely to be over 50% on the day! IMO

Hi Wolverine007, Thanks for reply, Yes lets hope the timing is soon.. I agree that it may not be too long. Sounds like we've all got our points of perspective. For me, knowing that the government change reverted and key individuals from prior are present tells me that its a positive situation for CLON, The fact that recent annuals reported show CLON can wait with minimal overheads also puts a good feel factor that it does not matter for PIs holding this share for weeks or months, risk is small IMHO. We've seen this share jump high on news, and then slide back, whenever this ratification happens there is not going to be the same old slide back. So for that reason alone buying at MC is 3M is a good move - roll on 15-20 MC IMO! Good Luck LTHs

I think you mentioned you are or were based in Ghana. Why do you think this will re-rate next week as opposed to two weeks or two months ago? its a genuine question, I want to know what your point is why next week is specifically golden.

IMO, this week ahead will get interesting....

Good times gone? From 14p to 0.4p.... where is thing going???

yes I think I had the same questions in how can this benefit the MM/ broker to sell shares if the spread is large. Im keeping an eye on this and probably like many others waiting for an opportunity. if you are vested in this well done, i'm not currently, but am of the mindset that its got legs for a mid term investment??

Am I reading this correctly...? Bid 10 Ask 15. That's a 50% spread shown here at LSE Can I ask for opinions on why this is seen as such?
