Your Company Struggles? Just Add "Blockchain" To Its Name And It Will Soar

in #blockchain7 years ago

So, let' say your company is in BioTech - which is, if you ask me, a hot place to be these days - but its shares are trading at a mere $4.5.

What to do, what to do?

Got it: let's add some "blockchain" to the name, rebrand it as a fintech company and see what happens.

Well, this is what happens, according to this 5 days chart from nasdaq:

Company's stock went from $4.5 to a bit more than $9 in a couple of days and it's currently trading at $7.2. Not bad, for a company who decided to liquidate its biotech patents and focus on the crypto world.

Their first acquisition seems to be a Canadian exchange, with a daily volume of around $300.000, according to a material published by Bloomberg.

Oh, and the new name of the company? Just because "Bioptix" is so 2016, baby, let's call it "Riot Blockchain".

Hahaha! :D The new name literally floored me with laughter :P The only names that are aloud to have Riot in their name are punk bands and nothing else, not even skating gear!

That's hilarious, but I guess they are just using marketing very effectively. A bit grimy for sure.

Fishing for upvotes using the word block chain, interesting. In the spirit of the article you succeeded, lmfao.

"blockchain" should be added to bullshit bingo as well.

It's still early days, I think a lot of small companies will flirt with this possibility. Blockchain corner store :))

The gullible fall for the same tricks they always did.

This is really funny, so you are basically saying adding "blockchain" to a company's brand is a stock price doubler?..... Interesting>>>LOL

I wonder if that would work for me......

Trev-the-blockchain-George....... that has a nice ring to it ;-)
