Digital Currency Headed for Widespread Acceptance, Has Potential as Cure for Banking Concerns among Cannabis Companies

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: The cannabis market in the U.S. and worldwide continues to grow, but that doesn’t mean everyone is open to the idea of legal marijuana. The banking industry is one example, as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has generally been unsupportive of backing cannabis-related investments. Since marijuana hasn’t been legalized at the federal level, most banks are hesitant to have any part of the $6.7 billion marijuana industry. While many industry experts expect this stance to change amid growing support for a bankable marijuana industry, 70 percent of cannabis companies currently operate without access to a corporate…

Moxian, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOXC) is in China, Where O2O Commerce is More than Click-and-Collect

There is no doubt that in the West, online-to-offline (O2O) commerce is mostly about click-and-collect (C&C). Consumers purchase their stuff online and then pick it up later at a store. However, in China, O2O goes much further, covering a variety of services (like having a barber come to your home) which may not be cost-effective to offer in Western markets. Therefore, with O2O growing by leaps and bounds in the U.S. and Europe, its prospects for growth, as you can imagine, are much, much greater in Zhōngguó, which is the name the Chinese give to their homeland. That is why…

Kootenay Zinc Corporation (CSE: ZNK) (OTCQB: KTNNF) Has Star Prospectors on the Job at the Sully Project

In the modern world, zinc plays second fiddle to iron. About half of the blue-white or blue-gray metal mined is used in coating iron to prevent the latter from rusting, a process known as galvanization. However, it is clear from archaeological discoveries that zinc had a much more important role in earlier times. For example, brass artifacts dated before 1000 BCE have been found in Palestine. Brass is a metal alloy composed of copper and zinc. Given zinc’s venerable past, the Kootenay Zinc Corporation (CSE: ZNK) (OTCQB: KTNNF) is betting the lustrous mineral will continue to have an important role…
