RandD You're absolutely right. There is big news coming down the line, which is why we're seeing price movement already; news is starting to leak out, I suspect. As well as the significant benefits of all the cost-cutting and reorganisations of the last few years; all aimed at making the business cashflow positive (which is definitely happening), there is some very positive news about all the sales activity about to land, which will help pump the sp. The JV with MKS is absolutely rocketing, with new CFCs and delivery spokes being worked on now, and for the next 3 - 4 years. But its not just the UK which is seeing growth. Keep a look out.......

For anyone not already familiar with the Telegram link, here it is: https://www.vortexfinance.co/

On there, today's conversation points to the revelation that Vortex is now built (and ready) for $US as well as Columbian and Mexican currencies. This might explain the (minor) SP move up today. If the two are related, then we should expect more formal RNS updates soon and a more significant price movement.

It seems as if the metrics page has kicked back in to life as well, here: https://metrics.vortexfinance.co/?_gl=1*1y7gi6*_gcl_au*MTYwMjU3Mjc4OS4xNzcwMjA1MDIz*_ga*MjM5MjY2MzAyLjE3NzAyMDUwMjM.*_ga_37BQG2LNMQ*czE3NzAzMTAxODYkbzQkZzEkdDE3NzAzMTAxODckajU5JGwwJGgw

Coffee, you can expect to see more vans around for a number of reasons. Firstly, the new Nottingham spoke (opened last year) is a roaring success. There are already 3 new spokes "in flight" currently and another handful planned for the next 3 - 4 years. On top of that, you've got the new CFC confirmed for the north and probably another one in the south. ORL is motoring! But its not just in the UK. There's some exciting stuff happening outside the UK, too. Keep watching all outlets. Don't rely on RNSs.

Crow, I don't speak for NS and I've read what you wrote. There's no misunderstanding on my part, so let's speculate again: perhaps he's selling for tax reasons (new tax year); maybe he's selling to allow SatoshiPay to increase their holding; maybe he's selling because he knows someone else (outside of SatoshiPay) who wants to buy in and become a long-term holder; maybe he's selling because he's got other investments which require his capital to move there. Who knows why he's selling. It's all conjecture. What I do know is that he's been able to support BLU when cash was tight. He's fortunate to have had the capital to do so, and having a holding of c.10% has put him in a privileged position, for sure, but he's been there to provide support when the chips were down.

This may not be a popular view on here, but I don't subscribe to the view that Nick Slater is an evil force with this share. [We've had a lot worse, in the past, such as Mark White, who was the archetypal pump and dump demon]. Nick Slater has been a long-term holder here, and has been available to support the business when cashflow was tight. Don't forget, he also took a bath when the shares tanked; his original purchase price was 10p (prior to the share split). Jealousy of his ability to provide liquidity is not a good look and misses the point that when the share price was down below 5p ANYBODY had the opportunity to buy in. To crow about the fact that he's "top slicing" now is a sign of envy and not sound investment. Think about it another way; his holding of c.10% has prevented outside "white knights" coming in and snapping this up for next to nothing. Just saying!

Looks like one of the Kroger CFCs slated for closure may now be repurposed by a non-food logistics provider. Positive news for ongoing revenues in USA

Crow, unless I'm missing something, the ramp up metrics show February to be much slower than January's. There's only one week left this month (and I know the last week of January was the best of that month) but I don't see how February is going to get anywhere close to January's rise.

Looks like more "Jam Tomorrow"....

Patience is wearing very thin. For LTH's like me, these updates on social media carry very little weight. Why? Because the number of followers for Vortex and SatoshiPay (on X for example) are so small as to be irrelevant.

The lack of RNS or any other meaningful update on the SatoshiPay website (or indeed the Vortex Telegram channel, if you want to include that) suggests to me that there is little (or no) progress.

What I would like to see are:

1. Clear evidence that Vortex is working, as evidenced by actual numbers

2. Director buying - Tony Fabrizzi needs to show us he's got skin in the game by buying some shares. He can argue as much as he likes about working unpaid for the past few years, but since he was the one who stated publicly - two years ago - that the fair value of the business was more than 24p, he needs to take responsibility as a director. And neither do I think his "warrants" are justified.

3. An update from the Board about the other businesses in which BLU has a shareholding. What's happened to Dynasty, for example? or Paidia, or Sthaler (as shown under "Portfolio" on the BLU website)

This is fast becoming a joke

Probably the most intriguing comment from Tim Steiner: "We remain excited about the opportunity for Ocado's evolving products in the US market."

You can read this either way: Ocado will be freed from its exclusive deal with Kroger ... or ... Kroger have agreed to take some of Ocado's new SBA products for their "immediacy" delivery services ... or ... Ocado are in discussions with other logistics/retailers (outside food retail).

It just keeps getting better and better

this seems unstoppable now

Share Price is up on ZERO trades. Either big news incoming, or a big trade will show up at the end of the trading day. Yawn!!

When you read articles like this, you suddenly realise how far ahead of the game SatoshiPay/Vortex are, in meeting the needs of a fully inter-connected world https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/1080968/why-you-ll-need-a-multicurrency-account-to-participate-in-the-new-economy-1080968.html

With all these large volume transactions executing at the closing bell, I get a sense there's some big play going on in the background. I don't like it. I've seen this before, and I fear that small scale retail investors are going to get sidelined, and lose out on the bigger gains down the line. The MMs are playing with fire...

Also worth noting that Alex (Alexander Wilke - SatoshiPay CEO/Co-Founder) is getting more involved on the Polkadot Telegram channel; seems to suggest that while Nabla value is dropping and Dot is increasing, he's looking to hedge the Nabla value held by Satoshi

You can't argue with the fact that the sp has fallen - ridiculously low, in my opinion. However, when Kroger themselves admit that e-commerce is growing (widely reported as +16%) does that not show that, in fact, the Ocado dimension is good news for Kroger? Yes, I'm aware that Kroger have their own ISF solution, but to anyone who orders online, it's not difficult to see how using online shopping (whether ISF or CFC) is a profitable way forward.

One of the issues at Kroger has been their inability to accept the latest Ocado technologies (whether the webshop; CFC technologies or other last-mile solutions) which would improve their efficiencies markedly.

Let's not also forget that Kroger have a 5% stake in Ocado, too. What would be the point of jeopardising that stake? Although, rumours abound that if Kroger don't build any more CFCs then Ocado will be free to explore other opportunities in USA
