Introduction to Graph Blockchain (GBLC: CSE) — Exposure to Two Potential Future CSE-listed crypto companies and upside in a Creator-focused NFT Marketplace
It seems like 20 times a day there’s a post on social seeking the wisdom of the crowd as to what coin they should put their money in next. It used to be Shiba Inu. Now it’s Metaverse coins. It’s hard to keep track of the next hot coin.
Some may find that it is hard to pay attention to what’s going on in their crypto portfolio. It’s not like cryptocurrency comes with much in the way of fundamental analysis to determine what is and isn’t a good investment, and someone in the market for a good buy needs to rely on more qualitative methods. Social media drives price action. Retail investors piggyback off online influencers and enjoy the sweet gains if the coin sees strong price appreciation. Retail investors need to parse through retail-dominated platforms like YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, and parse through the idiots from the truly knowledgeable when it comes to who is worth your attention. We all have Dunning Kruger, populations are normally distributed, and most of us passed university, therefore we all know which influencers we need to pay attention to simply by virtue of being alive. We just know.
What we truly do need to is monitor a dashboard that segments our crypto investments. Dashboards need tools that track influencers, analyze web sentiment, relevance and provide predictive analysis. We need charting tools to analyze price, volume, and momentum trends.
If you’re looking for a truly excellent dashboard with all of the above and more, then you’re looking for Optimum Coin Analyser, which is the forthcoming spinout from Vancouver-based Graph Blockchain (GBLC.C). Investors will potentially be rewarded with a share dividend that provides exposure to Optimum Coin Analyser and a few other crypto companies.
Let’s talk about Graph Blockchain
Graph Blockchain is your portal to exposure to the world of decentralized finance (DeFi) and community-based ownership models (NFTs). The focus is on NFTs and altcoins throughsubsi diaries Babbage Mining and Beyond the Moon. Babbage is a proof of stake miner dealing specifically in altcoin creation, while Beyond the Moon focuses primarily on providing altcoin launchpads. Also, New World, which is an augmented reality art-focused NFT Marketplace specializing in non-fungible tokens (NFT) produced by Creators like Karl Wolf and Elias Theodorou. Graph was the first company to launch this marketplace, even before Coinbase.
Let’s break it down:
New World
New World is an augmented reality art-focused NFT platform that gives creators, musicians and celebrities access to an NFT distribution canvas to both create, but and sell digital art. This way artists can get their hands onto a broader market and continue to benefit financially through any future sales. New World’s platform has already attracted the likes of artists like Diogo Snow, who’s already onboard with this platform with numerous pieces. Diogo Snow has produced numerous art pieces for the likes of Drake, Fetty Wap, and even presented at Art Basel.
Beyond the Moon
Above we mentioned that Beyond the Moon deals primarily with launchpads. A launchpad introduces new crypto tokens to the market, providing early access. Specifically Beyond the Moon offers privileged access to early stage crypto tokens. Ever wanted to know where and when the next Shiba Inu was going to drop? This is where you could theoretically find it.
Babbage Mining
Babbage Mining is an altcoin miner. If you’re new here, altcoins are roughly defined as ‘anything that isn’t bitcoin’ and that’s basically what you need to know. Some of the newer coins can be mined with graphics processing unit chips, which are cheaper to both acquire and use as they the sizes of the networks of these alts don’t gobble up as much electricity as some of the bigger coins. It doesn’t mean they’re somehow less lucrative, but that the value proposition behind them is different courtesy of a number of factors.
The real deal here is the NFT market. This is a $7 billion market and its growing fast. NFTs represent a world of content creators that are pissed off that they don’t get paid for their unique content, experiences, and wide following. If you’re new here, then NFTs are unique and non-interchangeable data stored on a digital ledger. They’re associated with items like photos, videos and other digital files, and use blockchain tech to provide the public with a proof of ownership. The technology, because of its nature as a non-fungible (which means irreducible to component parts, primarily because the token is made up of smart contracts) digital token, has wide reaching potential to disrupt various industries like real estate and patent disclosures but has since only been used for art, music and showing LeBron James in mid-dunk.
What have they done lately?
Graph’s subsidiary, New World, has made a patent application for geo-pinning of augmented reality objects to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The endgame for this patent is, of course patent protection across the US, Canada and Europe, but also to try and establish themselves as a tech leader in the AR space.
Augmented reality became noteworthy in the middle part of the last decade with games like Pokemon Go and the Harry Potter Wizarding World, wherein teenagers wandered aimless into the street with their face buried in their phones, narrowly getting crushed by traffic so they could stop a Dementor from straggling Hagrid behind the dumpster where your parents bought their weed in the 80's.
The reality behind these games is they give Google and other companies socially sanctioned access to complete their surveillance mapping app that the NIMBY crowd had denied them in the past, but we don’t need to go too far down the rabbit hole.
It’s since grown to include various other functions rather than just gaming, but it’s probably what it will always be known for. This patent-pending tech will apparently be subject to a broad range of online uses where multiple AR objects are displayed using pinned locations on a map.
The technology is reasonably new and therefore it’s still energy intensive. The purpose of this development is to reduce the amount of power and networking requirements for displaying AR projects on user devices. This will increase the efficiency of data transmission and add flexibility, and be useful for reducing the cost of back-end infrastructure to meet demand.
The company wants this patent application to be their cornerstone in the development of a strong intellectual property portfolio. And why not? New World has put the time and effort in, and they’ve set up a structured timeline for filing even more patents related to geo-pinning technologies.
Graph Blockchain has been ranging for quite awhile now, but their recent moves — including the patent application and the recent spinout — should change all of that. It’s only a matter of time before this company catches a wave and the $0.06 and ~$25 million market cap will be footnote on the way to better times.
With Graph Blockchain, you’re getting exposure to two future cryptocurrency-focused CSE-listed entities via the future share dividend (https://www.bloomberg.com/press-releases/2021-09-16/graph-blockchain-announces-spin-off-three-subsidiaries-via-share-dividend), with upside in a Creator-focused NFT Marketplace launched before the big boys and gaining traction. All of this for a market cap of ~$25M. Do your DD.
