FinancialBuzz.com News Commentary
NEW YORK, June 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
According to Allied Market Research, the global Blockchain Distributed Ledger market accounted for USD 228 Million in 2016, and is anticipated to reach USD 5.4 Billion by 2023 while growing at a CAGR of 57.6% from 2017 to 2023. Blockchain Distributed Ledger is a medium of exchange formed and stored electronically, using encryption methods to regulate the creation of financial units and to verify the transfer of funds. The research indicates that the popularity of the new technology is attributed to Blockchain data being complete, consistent, timely, accurate and widely available. GD Entertainment & Technology Inc. (OTC: GDET), BTCS Inc. (OTC: BTCS), MGT Capital Investments Inc. (OTC: MGTI), Black Cactus Global (OTC: BLGI), Bitcoin Services Inc. (OTC: BTSC).
The SEC's Director of Corporate Finance, William Hinman, explained recently that two of the world's biggest virtual currencies need not be regulated like stocks and bonds. According to the Washington Post, Hinman said that, "Based on my understanding of the present state of ether, the Ethereum network and its decentralized structure, current offers and sales of ether are not securities transactions. As a network becomes truly decentralized, the ability to identify an issuer or promoter to make the requisite disclosures becomes difficult and less meaningful. As with Bitcoin, applying the disclosure regime of the federal securities laws to current transactions in ether would seem to add little value."
GD Entertainment & Technology, Inc. (OTC: GDET) announced last week that it, "is excited to announce the Company's delivery of over 100 Cryptocurrency mining machines. These state- of- the-art machines (Bitmain and Avalon) are the most powerful units in the marketplace today. The shipment was comprised of Bitmain S9 T9 A3 Avalon 821 models.

challenge of raising the necessary capital to execute impacted our ability to truly realize the
potential from this disruptive opportunity." He continues, "We entered 2017 with USD 45.3
