Hamak Strategy: surely this is an RTO and a prospectus is needed? Where is the FCA on all of this?

I shall be writing to the FCA shortly but today’s announcement from Hamak Strategy (HAMA) beggars belief. Quite clearly its proposed #35m double death spiral funding will trigger a change of business, an RTO, and thus it needs to get a prospectus approved by the FCA to go ahead. I have offered the company’s advisors a chance to comment but they appear to have declined. Let me explain the problem.

Hamak: not 1 but 2 death spirals, what’s not to like?

On 25 September Hamak Strategy (HAMA) CEO Nick Thurlow told mug punters in an investor meeting that his company was fully funded for 12 months. With negative net current assets that was clearly disingenuous, either Hamak had to sell some of its 20 bitcoin or it needed to issue shares. Today it has announced not one but two death spirals! Confetti ahoy!

Hamak Strategy and value destruction with bitcoin: A maths lesson for the stupid ( including Zak Mir)!

The lack of fiat at Hamak Strategy (HAMA) means that it urgently needs to either start selling its pile of bitcoin or do a fund raise, either straight equity or death spiral CULS. Either way it won’t be pretty for its share price. But a bitcoin sale would expose what a farce its value addition via shitcoin treasury strategy is. Do the maths stupid!

If Strategy slips or pukes, Smarter Web Collapses, here’s the maths on how Strategy shares could dive

Strategy (MSTR) is the big daddy of bitcoin in treasury companies and its success is seen, by believers, as proof that The Smarter Web Company (SWC) can go only one way. But even Strategy trades at less than 2 times NAV whereas the Smarter Web company, at 217.5p, trades at more than five times fully diluted NAV. So, if one accepts that Strategy is cheap, which I am not sure I do, then that does not make Smarter Web anything but expensive. But what if Strategy shares were to puke? Could that happen?

Another day, another bit of bitcoin in treasury spiv activity involving many of the usual suspects

The madness continues. The latest company jumping on the shitcoin in treasury bandwagon is AQSE listed Vault Ventures (VULT) which at 0.045p is now capitalized at c£5 million. Vault was formerly Meme Vault, formerly Pitch Pit – it has changed names and business strategies almost as many times as I have enjoyed inappropriate thoughts about Cheryl Cole.

What is it with devout Christians and The Smarter Web Company (SWC)(. This time it is not mad catholic priests worshipping mammon but @RCA2112BTC whose twitter bio says he believes in “God, family #bitcoin”. Forgetting about the eye of the needle this morning he tweeted to Richard Jennings and myself “have fun staying poor” as Smarter announced that a £15 million bookbuild had become a £29 million fund raise at 180p. Mad just got double mad, the shares are now 252.5p! Here are the maths.

Can you short shares in the Smarter Web Company at a joke £157m valuation? AQSE says no but you can!

The Smarter Web Company (SWC) share price is wholly indefensible. At 83.5p the market cap is £157 million and it has cash, or I suspect bitcoin, worth, perhaps, £12 million. Its core web design business is a nothingburger making insufficient profit to cover even a fraction of PLC costs. So, it needs the bitcoin price to jump to c$1.37 million to be even fair value. It won’t happen. But the heavily traded shares are on AQSE which says that you cannot short shares on it. But you can.

Over nearly two decades, Stöferle has observed significant changes in how gold is perceived and demanded, particularly driven by emerging markets like Saudi Arabia, India, China, and Turkey. These regions now account for the majority of physical gold demand, both from central banks and private investors, underscoring a growing recognition of gold’s value as a safe haven and store of wealth.

I discuss what Trustpilot says about the company HERE and Lucian’s road trip to do more due diligence. Re Lucian I also discuss other big blowups that will happen this year and bitcoin. Then there is Amigo (AMGO), Chill Brands (TOAST), MyHealthchecked (MHC), Novacyt (NYCT) and Argo Blockchain (ARB) in light of today’s NFT nonsense but also the collapsing bitcoin price.

So our Polish cleaner’s 12 year old son wants her to buy Bitcoin – at least it is not Argo Blockchain he wants to punt

I am rather taken with the new cleaning lady the Mrs has hired. She scrubs up well, works hard and her views on a range of issues including masks, vaccines, inflation and the role of the state are thoroughly admirable. And hearing myself and Lucian discuss how mining companies claim to be ESG friendly by hiring loads of lesbians, she thought that a good joke and remarked that my work seemed interesting. That would not be how the Mrs would react, both to the joke and the description of my work.  I mention all of this only because Agnieszka has been arguing with her 12 year old son who wants her to invest her wages in bitcoin.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - the fallacy of green bitcoin and the bad things hidden in ESG wrappers

Boatman Capital savages Argo Blockchain again - devastating dossier Number 2

The highlight of this dossier is Boatman demonsrating how Argo’s (ARB) rebuttal of its allegations about a dodgy Texas land purchase made in dossier No 1, just does not stack up. One might even say Boatman shows Argo was telling porkies.  Then there is the really sniffy related party investment in a company in all sorts of regulatory scrutiny because of its involvment with disgraced broker Pello and its “colourful” boss Andy Frangos. And it goes on and on. As Boatman points out, if you believe in electronic tulips there are many ways to play bitcoin without buying into Argo’s forest of red flags. Anyone owning these shares is mad. The dossier is below.

He argues that Bitcoin is a good alternative and is not unlike gold. Digital scarcity is a new invention, and the real revolution is in bitcoin, not other digital currencies. Bitcoin is unique because it isn’t controlled by banks or corporations and works as a form of digital gold. He believes bitcoin is in the process of monetization around the world.

The Anatomy of CryptoCurrency Scams (tweaked)

I am not sure where this first apperared but thanks to the reader who emailed it over. I have tweaked it to remove the name of a famour journalist as I can live without another lawyers' letter. But the core message stands about botcoin and all the other crypto bubbles is fair. Enjoy.

Video: American Super Bear Andrew Left discusses 2 blockchain bitcoin shorts and the madness of the market

Andrew Left of Citron Research is one of the sharpest cookies in the global shorting conspiracy. He has just recorded an interview on CNBC discussing two blockchain/bitcoin shorts in the US. Change your name and your shares soar even though there is nothing there? Sound familiar Clem?

Left's two targets are Bitcoin Investment Trust (US: GBTC) and Riot Blockchain (US:RIOT). Enjoy...

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: shorting bitcoin is insane but so too is being long

In this bearcast I look at the issue of share buybacks at this stage of the stockmarket cycle in general but with reference to Domino's Pizza (DOM) in particular. Then I look at the bitcoin bubble explaining why it is NOT a currency and why it will in due course pop as Goodhart's Law kicks in. But you'd be crackers to have a position either way right now

Embrace Bitcoin – When Commodities Move Just Imagine the Potential!

I am not so sure. But here is the raging bull case put by Peter Spina. In this podcast he discusses the cryptocurrency space and how it is similar to the dot-com boom of the late 90’s. No one knows how all of this will play out, but it is all but certain that crypto will play an essential role in world finance. Spina feels that both gold and cryptocurrencies are complimentary. You should be careful and protect your wealth in precious metals and only speculate in the crypto market. It is a new technology with much potential that creates a much more free and open marketplace. But...

It’s Time to Rotate Crypto Gains Into Forgotten Gold Stocks

Like the rest of us, Jeff Berwick has been surprised by just how good the crypto space has done this year. He was telling everyone to buy bitcoin back in 2011 and has continued to recommend it. Jeff compares cryptocurrencies to the beginning of the Internet. It feels like we are entering the Internet 3.0 and Wall Street seems to be finally catching on. The bitcoin market is still tiny, and if it ever gets valued anywhere near gold, it will still go up thousands of percent. The entire thing is bizarre and mind-blowing.

Bitcoin is Going to Drive Gold & Silver to All Time Highs

I still really do not understant bitcoin but it seems to grip fellow libertarians like Dominic Frisby and, in this case, resource guru Doug Casey. In this Palisade Capital podcast, Doug discusses the commodity markets and why the most important thing is what they do cyclically. Most commodities are down 50% since 2011 and the dollar has lost 20%. Commodities remain quite cheap, particularly gold, silver, and copper. He discusses Junior miners and why now is a good time to get into these markets.

Bitcoin, Cryptocurrencies, ICOs the Beginning of a New Tech Sector Bubble

I really do not get this bitcoin shite at all, however much my pal Dominic Frisby tries to explain it to me. I just fear it will end in tears but I am cognisant that some folks have made a complete killing on it so far. In a podcast with Palisade Capital, sector guru Michael Pole makes some bold calls. Is this just the start of the gold rush or are we close to dotcom bust in 2001?

Stay Down-to-Earth with Gold, While Going to the Moon with Bitcoin

There are so many radically extreme events that are happening, or will likely happen soon in the world economy, we have to be very careful. In Jeff Berwick’s 20+ years of market investments, he sees this as the most difficult time for investors. He suggests getting a lot of your money out of the markets by holding precious metals, other hard assets, and bitcoin.

I’m following the Jim Mellon crew and taking a small Bitcoin punt on Coinsilium

I do not understand Bitcoin, blockchain technology and the like. I leave that to smarter folks like Dominic Frisby who will be presenting on it at Gold & Bears and my good friend Jim Mellon who will – I’m sure – mention it in his G&B talk. This could all be the next phooey hype but it could be big so I’m getting a small exposure via Coinsilium – a two year old blockchain investor listing on ISDX later this month. I’m backing Jim’s judgement on this one.
