Bitcoin Investment Trust (OTC: GBTC), Global Arena Holding, Inc. (OTC: GAHC).
The Blockchain technology, which is used to manage the database that records cryptocurrency transactions, also has important
news. The U.S. State Department will host Blockchain Forum on October 10. Participating companies
included IBM, Microsoft, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, ConsenSys, and many other firms. This is the second Blockchain-related forum
this year. The goal of the forum is to explore new development and potential applications of the Blockchain technology. The event
will also discuss how Blockchain can help various global issues, including humanitarian crises.
Glance Technologies Inc (OTCQB: GLNNF) also listed on the Canadian Stock Exchange under the Ticker
'GET'. Just earlier today the company announced breaking news that, Netcoins Inc., who enables approximately 4,000 stores to
become bitcoin teller locations through virtual ATM software, has entered into an alliance with Glance Technologies. Netcoins
Inc. provides an easy way for people to buy bitcoins whereas Glance will allow users to spend their bitcoins
quickly and easily via Glance Pay.
According to blockchain.info the price of bitcoin has increased over 600% during the past year, making the current market
capitalization of bitcoin over $72 billion USD. This means there is 6 times as much purchasing
power in the bitcoin community versus just 1 year ago, with still limited opportunities to spend bitcoins compared to
traditional currencies.
The alliance between Netcoins and Glance will give people better access to both buying and spending bitcoin. One of the
current difficulties in using bitcoin is the time it takes to complete a transaction, which can be many minutes and in some cases
many hours. Glance can help solve this problem by allowing bitcoins to be converted to Glance Dollars, which can then be used to
make lightning fast transactions using the Glance Pay app.
In conjunction with the alliance, Michael Vogel and Dominic
Vogel (the founders of Netcoin) have agreed to act as Glance's advisers regarding cryptocurrencies. These advisors join
Spiros Margaris on Glance's advisory board, who has been recognized as the No. 1 top global
Fintech influencer by Onalytica.com and No. 10 overall Blockchain influencer by Right Relevance. "We are
thrilled to have the opportunity to work the awesome people at Glance Technologies and offer up our collective bitcoin
and cyber security expertise," says Netcoin Co-founder, Dominic Vogel.
"Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies are transforming payments and security. We are committed to being at the
forefront of payments, security, and mobile technologies and are excited by the possibilities of combining our anti-fraud
technologies with cryptocurrencies," says Glance CEO, Desmond Griffin, "We are also thrilled to
add 2 more experts to our advisory board as we continue innovating in these leading edge domains."
