Million Dollar Deal - SinglePoint (OTC: $SING) Signs LOI to Acquire 100% of Bitcoin Payment Platform Bitcoin Beyond

Million Dollar Deal - SinglePoint (OTC: $SING) Signs LOI to Acquire 100% of Bitcoin Payment Platform Bitcoin Beyond



SEATTLE, WA - January 22, 2018 – (Investorideas.com Newswire) SinglePoint, Inc. (OTC:SING) today announces a letter of intent (“LOI”) to acquire 100% of Bitcoin Beyond, a premier platform that enables retail merchants to accept bitcoin payments using their existing web-enabled point-of-sale device. This acquisition, priced at $1 million all stock, is expected to provide SinglePoint with a full end-to-end purchasing experience that provides merchants and bitcoin users unprecedented capabilities.  


Bitcoin Beyond was created to address growing demand for fast and reliable electronic payment processing for the cannabis industry. As the industry exists today, many merchants face extensive physical cash management issues that require expensive and risky on-site safes, armed guards, armored cars, and physical cash transfers. Bitcoin Beyond stands to overcome these challenges, functioning as a general-purpose point-of-sale system that processes dollar-denominated payments using bitcoin. It can be operated from any web-enabled terminal available at checkout, from a cell phone to a tablet, to a full PC.

“We are thrilled with this opportunity. Acquiring Bitcoin Beyond put us was ahead of what we believe merchants have access to now. This platform has by far the easiest user interface we have seen in the market, and we are confident merchants will be quick to adopt this solution as it stands as the sole alternative to traditional options offered to the cannabis industry,” states SinglePoint President Wil Ralston.

The Bitcoin Beyond System was designed using 14 years of expertise in creating payment processing and online wallet solutions. It is built on a widely used technology stack, with security best practices and private merchant data is stored encrypted at rest. Because of this industry-leading technology, Bitcoin Beyond can be easily used and integrated with existing frameworks to add a simple means of payment with bitcoin, as well as other cryptocurrencies, such as Weed Coin, in the future. SinglePoint has an early investment in Weed Coin which has currently increased 8x in value.

Bitcoin Beyond furthers SinglePoints’ Bitcoin payments solution which the company recently signed Kevin Harrington to evangelize and consult on. Last week the company started production of the commercial spot and is now in editing and post-production. SinglePoint has engaged a media specialist to start the process of getting the commercial aired on major national news networks to drive consumer sign ups and awareness for the service.

SinglePoint has plans to acquire additional companies in the space and again broaden its footprint in the quickly emerging blockchain space. The company is currently in negotiations to acquire another blockchain centric company in an effort to deploy its technology to major established markets.

About SinglePoint, Inc. 

SinglePoint, Inc. (SING) has grown from a full-service mobile technology provider to a publicly traded holding company. Through diversification into horizontal markets, SinglePoint is building its portfolio by acquiring an interest in undervalued subsidiaries, thereby providing a rich, diversified holding base. Through its subsidiary company SingleSeed, the company is providing products and services to the cannabis industry.

Investorideas.com - Cannabis Stock Update: Let's Toke Business - Week of January 19th

Investorideas.com - Cannabis Stock Update: Let's Toke Business - Week of January 19th





Enterprise Group
(TSX: $E.TO) Named Lead Sponsor for Let's Toke Business: The Commerce of
Cannabis

The cannabis stocks proved to be a little schizophrenic last week. Quickly reversing a one week decline, the Let’s Toke Business Marijuana Composite Index posted a gain of 2.9%. This is another example of the increased volatility that is now a characteristic of the cannabis group. Increased volatility equates to increased investment risk. It is impossible to determine at this time which is the aberration: last week’s decline or this week’s recovery. To establish an uptrend, the index must surpass the 1265 level.

Investor Ideas Talks to Canopy Growth (TSX: $WEED.TO) and Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: $ACB.TO) at Lift Cannabis Expo

Investor Ideas Talks to Canopy Growth (TSX: $WEED.TO) and Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: $ACB.TO) at Lift Cannabis Expo




Point Roberts, WA, Delta BC – January 17, 2018– Investorideas.com, a global news source and investor resource covering cannabis and hemp stocks releases an exclusive  podcast interview with Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) and  Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB) at the recent Lift Cannabis Expo in Vancouver.



The Lift Expo is Canada’s meeting place for cannabis January 13-14th, 2018 at the Vancouver Convention Centre. (https://liftexpo.ca/expovancouver18/)

One of the event’s title sponsors was Tweed, a subsidiary of Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED). Their Quebec Brand Manager, Adam Greenblatt was at the event, and said the company has secured agreements with some provinces to better position for the retail market.

“We’ve already signed supply agreements with Newfoundland & Labrador and New Brunswick,” he said. “In Newfoundland & Labrador we’re going to have the ability to run our own retail shops, which is interesting and kind of unique relative to what’s going on in other provinces.”

Greenblatt said the retail experience will vary between provinces, but that the company is focusing on setting up large scale production.

“We may be looking at a mixed system in B.C., private in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, we’ve obviously got the crown corporations in Ontario and Quebec so there’s different things to work on in each province,” he said. “Really what we’re trying to do is get production established in each of those major provinces. We’ve got three million square feet of greenhouse in B.C. right now that we’re converting. We just did a joint venture in Quebec with the largest pink tomato producer in North America. We’re going to be turning their greenhouse into a cannabis production facility as well.”

Another exhibitor and platinum sponsor of the Expo was Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB), a licensed producer of medical cannabis. Aurora Cannabis’s Manager of Communications, Shea Dewar, said the company is concentrating on production to anticipate the demand following legalization of cannabis.

“One of the big things we’re focusing on is that we have enough supply to meet the demand of the recreational market or adult-use market once that comes into play,” he said. “Right now we’re building Canada’s largest indoor greenhouse just outside of the Edmonton airport. 800,000 square feet, it’s going to be able to produce over 100,000 kilos a year once it’s finished. It’s called Aurora Sky.”

Regarding the event, Dewar noted the expansion of exhibitors and attendees and how it reflects the development of the cannabis sector.

“I think I’ve been to half a dozen Lift expos and this is clearly the biggest one,” he said. “The amount of people and the variety of people that are coming in have really shown the growth of the industry and the changing dynamics in the way people are viewing cannabis in general.”

Greenblatt said in the next year we should see greater accessibility in the cannabis space as well as considerable industrial growth.

“2018 looks like adults finally having access to cannabis in a retail environment and it looks like massive expansion on the production end.” he said.
