12 months ago investors couldn’t be blamed if they found it hard to grasp the genius and foresight of Liquid Avatar $LQID $LQAVF ….. the easiest way to describe the company was as a blockchain platform allowing people to manage & profit from their digital identity, which became a real need once global laws started being enacted to prevent the likes of Facebook from every abusing our private information again.
It sounded great … and definitely sounded like something valuable 3-4 years into the future … but then the signs started showing up that painted an accelerating picture that would put LQID at the forefront of digital identity.
1. Google validated the $LQID business model with this stunning announcement at the beginning of March:
Google believes these types of tracking methods don’t “meet rising consumer expectations for privacy, nor will they stand up to rapidly evolving regulatory restrictions, and therefore aren’t a sustainable long term investment.”
Google is experimenting with tools in its Privacy Sandbox that are designed to allow advertising to continue to work on the web but in a less privacy-encroaching way.
“Keeping the internet open and accessible for everyone requires all of us to do more to protect privacy — and that means an end to not only third-party cookies, but also any technology used for tracking individual people as they browse the web,” David Temkin, Google’s director of product management for ads privacy and trust,
What is the potential outcome of this major shift by Google?
“Google’s decision could upend the ad industry, which has relied on these types of tracking tools”
Now the data privacy and monetization game is underway with LQID sitting in a great position within the industry and the dominant position within the small cap world.
2. The Ontario government released its digital identity strategy outlining ways in which it plans to harness the potential of the digital economy and better utilize data. Included in the plan are tangible commitments such as:
the creation of a new data authority;
the introduction of a new government-issued digital ID that lets people prove who they are online.
THEN CAME COVID-19 TEST AND VACCINATION CREDENTIALS
Both of these happened BEFORE governments around the world started announcing “Vaccine Passports” that would require people to prove their vaccinations prior to accessing some of the biggest parts of society. But with the Quebec system already getting hacked before it started, the government initiatives are easier said than done.
Enter $LQID whose Liquid Avatar Verifiable Credentials Ecosystem (LAVCE) is being built to support all participants in a digital credential ecosystem, including the Holder, Issuer and Verifier, using state-of-the-art blockchain and open standards technologies – initially as a node on the Indicio Network.
The Company is also a voting and steering committee member of the Trust over IP Foundation, founding and steering committee member of Cardea, a Linux Foundation Public Health project, member of the Good Health Pass collaborative, ID2020, DIACC, The Linux Foundation and a founding member of the Lumedic Exchange.
12 months later and it is now getting easy to see the genius of Liquid Avatar.

Liquid Avatar Technologies (LQID: CSE) (LQAVF: OTCQB) is a global blockchain, personal identity & Fintech solutions company specializing in empowering individuals to manage, control and generate value from their biometrically-verified Self Sovereign Identity (“SSI”) through its Liquid Avatar platform (www.liquidavatar.com)
GENERALLY – Liquid Avatar Turns The Problem Of Data Privacy Into A Profit For Individuals, While Providing Big Businesses With New & Compliant Business Models.
SPECIFICALLY – Liquid Avatar Specializes In
Continuous Online Identity Verification
Personal Identity Management
Personal Data Monetization.
The LAVCE (Liquid Avatar Credentials Ecosystem) currently supports verifiable credentials by creating a Trust Triangle between the Issuer of a credential, such as a government, health provider, workplace or school, the credential Holder (the data subject), and the Verifier (receiver of data) that is working to validate each unique data transaction. Far more secure and reliable than paper-based credentials, contract tracing forms, and traditional apps, the LAVCE and verifiable credentials can effectively reduce or eliminate fraud as all functions are supported by cryptographic blockchain solutions using the Indicio Network , the premier enterprise blockchain network for identity.
David Lucatch, CEO says it best, “Quick and easy verification for vaccine status with robust protection against fraudulent issuance is just one of many of the LAVCE’s important applications, Our communities just started opening up and it’d be a potential economic disaster if we had to collectively shut down again. We believe that it’s not enough to just say that you’re vaccinated or tested, we need a seamless, non-invasive, and privacy-respecting method for organizations to verify that individuals are immunized so that they can safely access their services…”

David Lucatch, CEO says it best, “It’s a privacy and security gamechanger, because there’s no need for a third party to access private health data to prove a test result is valid and from a trusted source. That’s huge. That solves the compliance problem.”

When the Facebook data privacy scandal broke out, the world woke up to just how badly our individual data was being traded, used and most importantly, the amount of profit being generated by major corporations at our expense.
This led to the enactment of the biggest data privacy laws in history. Specifically, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) out of Europe and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
Enter $LQID. The Company Turns The Problem Of Data Privacy Into A Profit For Individuals, While Providing Big Businesses With New & Compliant Business Models.
More than just lip service, $LQID has made some major announcements, including joining the Trust Over IP Foundation, which includes over 170 members including IBM, Mastercard, Accenture and many other global leaders who are defining a complete architecture for Internet-scale digital trust.
Does that sound like a mouthful? Yeah, it does. But all you have to really understand for now is that digital ID, privacy and monetization is going to become a reality in the very near future. Government regulations are enforcing it. Consumers are demanding it and $LQID is delivering it at such an advanced scale that the Trust Over IP Foundation provided them with a strategic role as a Steering Member.
If that wasn’t enough proof for you, Google validated the $LQID business model with this stunning announcement at the beginning of March:
Google believes these types of tracking methods don’t “meet rising consumer expectations for privacy, nor will they stand up to rapidly evolving regulatory restrictions, and therefore aren’t a sustainable long term investment.”

What is the potential outcome of this major shift by Google?
“Google’s decision could upend the ad industry, which has relied on these types of tracking tools”
Now the data privacy and monetization game is underway with LQID sitting in a great position within the industry and the dominant position within the small cap world.
If consumers are going to switch to Liquid Avatar to protect and monetize their identity, the switch to Digital ID by Canada’s biggest Province is simply a monster catalyst: The Ontario government strategy outlines ways in which it plans to harness the potential of the digital economy and better utilize data. Included in the plan are tangible commitments such as:
the creation of a new data authority;
a new digital artificial intelligence (AI) framework to guide responsible use of AI; and
the introduction of a new government-issued digital ID that lets people prove who they are online.
Cardea is a complete ecosystem that can be used by public health authorities, governments, organizations, and industries to enable people to maintain their privacy while holding and using an easily verifiable, trustworthy, unalterable proof of a health test or vaccination.
One of the first projects to provide the related technology and guidance for implementation of the recently announced Global COVID Certificate Network (GCCN), also from Linux Foundation Public Health, Cardea helps facilitate the safe and free movement of individuals globally during the COVID pandemic.

The initial scalable unit will process enough power to run up to 200 cryptocurrency mining machines. The energy generated is environmentally friendly, and the system will be self-sustainable.
This technology reduces waste currently filling landfills, a prevalent cause of greenhouse gas emissions containing methane that is more harmful than CO2.
What did Cameron Chell, Chairman of CurrencyWorks have to say?
“Crypto mining can be incredibly profitable if you can eliminate or minimize the energy costs in the mining process, while at the same time through these policies and best practices reduce the need for landfills and GHG, providing cleaner air and water, conservation of local biodiversity, sustainable energy development and green jobs. CurrencyWorks Zer00 Crypto operations will help to develop a sustainable way of minimizing MSW and using that energy to mine for crypto.”

The Gallery will feature an exciting array of photographic and visual artists and their works as Non-Fungible Token (NFT) to collectors through Oasis Digital Studios.
The May Pang Gallery’s first NFT collection will feature legendary photographer Ken Davidoff.
TORONTO, ON / VANCOUVER, BC / ERIE PA and LOS ANGELES, CA \ April 21, 2021 / Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc. (CSE:LQID)(OTC:TRWRF)(FRA:4T51) (“Liquid Avatar Technologies” or the “Company“,), a global blockchain, digital identity and fintech solutions company together with ImagineAR Inc. (IP)(IPNFF), an Augmented Reality platform company, are excited to announce that Oasis Digital Studios (“Oasis”) together with McCartney Multimedia, Inc. and renowned photographer and artist, May Pang are launching the May Pang Gallery. The Gallery will feature an exciting array of photographic and visual artists and their works as Non-Fungible Token (NFT) to collectors through Oasis Digital Studios. The May Pang Gallery’s first NFT collection will feature legendary photographer Ken Davidoff.
Capitalizing on the response to her recently announced John Lennon’s “Lost Weekend” photographs, May Pang and McCartney Multimedia are working with a number of iconic artists and photographers to create an NFT gallery for the sale of visual art in the music and entertainment space. In the coming weeks and months, May Pang and Oasis will partner with some of the music industry and Hollywood’s most notable photographers and artists, starting with Ken Davidoff, to bring their work, including never released images, to the NFT market. A pre-sale list has been established at www.oasisdigitalstudios.com
Ken Davidoff has spent his whole life, since the early age of 4, immersed in art and by the time he was 8, he was a budding photographer. In 1966, at age 17 Ken was working part time as a professional photographer at his parent’s studio, the Davidoff Studio in Palm Beach, Florida. By 19, Ken got the opportunity to photograph The Miami Pop Festival with Jimi Hendrix. With this amazing opportunity under his belt, Ken was able to secure the position of official Photographer of the 1969 First Annual Music and Arts Festival of Palm Beach (The Palm Beach Pop Festival), a 3 Day Festival dubbed Woodstock South which closed with a performance by the Rolling Stones.
“Ken Davidoff’s photographs capture a moment in time that shaped the “baby boomer” generation. In partnership with Oasis, I am happy to feature his work at the May Pang Gallery,” commented May Pang, Curator – May Pang Gallery
Shooting legends like Elvis, Johnny Cash, Joni Mitchell, The Beach Boys, 38 Special, B.B. King, Dale Earnhardt, Harry Chapin, Rush, Loggins and Messina, Bob Segar, Johnny Winder and other iconic individuals and groups, Ken’s photographs portray historic images of the genesis of Rock n’ Roll.
Ken’s 55+ year professional career has focused on the art of the image, creating iconic stories behind the music and the photos. Some of his never-seen-before photographs will be available through the May Pang Gallery and Oasis Digital Studios as NFTs featuring, in Ken’s own words, the stories behind the images.
“Working with my old family friend May Pang has brought extra Joy to my daily routine of gathering and helping curate iconic rock ‘n’ roll images, as the family grows to now bring classic rock photographer Ken Davidoff into the world of NFTs, and under the wing of the May Pang Gallery. Who knew a day job could be this much fun?” said Ruth McCartney, Digital Diva, and founder of McCartney Multimedia.
ABOUT KEN DAVIDOFF
Ken Davidoff has been a professional photographer since 1966 working in his Father’s photography studio in Palm Beach. His Dad was the Family photographer for JFK. Rose Kennedy would call his home and tell him where the President was, as he loved to elude the Secret Service. The story is that the Secret Service put a “tail” on Ken’s Father so they would know where JFK was. In May of 1968 he photographed The Miami Pop Festival, the 1st East Coast Rock Festival, featuring Jimi Hendrix and The Experience. Over the course of 50 years Ken has photographed many other Rock Legends such as Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Johnny Cash, Elvis, and Bob Dylan. He also photographed many celebrities such as Dustin Hoffman, Bob Hope, George Burns, Raquel Welch, and Betty Davis plus many more. Politicians include 7 Presidents, 2 Queens and 1 King and Prince Charles and Lady Diana, Historical events such as the Launch of Apollo 11, and the 1972 Democratic and Republican Conventions, many Baseball Hall of Famers are also in Ken’s archive.
In 2008, along with Jack Connell, he started his company, Old Rock Photos.com , an archive of his rock photography on the web; since then he has licensed many of his photos in books, magazines, documentary films, record albums, for clothing, and online publications. In 2009 Michael Lang licensed four of Ken’s photos for his book “The Road to Woodstock”. Early in 2013 he entered the Palm Beach International Film Festival with a short documentary film based on his photographs taken at the 1969 Palm Beach Pop Festival. Ken also has 17 photographs in his father’s book, “The Kennedy Family Album” a collection of Kennedy photos taken by Bob Davidoff.
In November of 2013 Sony Records released the double vinyl limited edition album/CD, plus a single also featuring Ken’s photos of Jimi Hendrix live at the Miami Pop Festival. This album featured Ken’s photography on the front and back covers, the inside of the album and an additional booklet of 20 more of Ken’s photos. On the same day NPR released “American Masters” Jimi Hendrix, which included one of Ken’s images used with credit at the end of the broadcast. In March of 2015 Ken became affiliated with the Jimi Hendrix Foundation and CEO, Joe Rosignolo. Joe was kind enough to write the Forward to Ken’s book, giving it full endorsement by the Jimi Hendrix Foundation, “The Miami Pop Festival”, a Photographic Experience” was published In December of 2015. This book is the definitive history of the 1st East Coast Rock Festival, headlined by The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Promoted by Ric O’Barry and Michael Lang, Michael said of the Miami Pop Festival “This is where the seeds of Woodstock were sown.”
Ken also had a photo exhibit at The Palm Beach County Historical Society Gallery about his images from The 1969 Palm Beach Pop Festival, featuring The Rolling Stones. He was the Official photographer for that ‘69 Rock festival.
On May 18th 2018, at The History Miami Museum there was a Grand Celebration of the 50th anniversary of the May 18th, 1968, Miami Pop Festival. Close to 1000 people were at the opening where the crowd was entertained for about 45 minutes by Jim Hendrix’s brother Leon. Over 50 of Ken’s images were used to explore the history of Rock’s first East Coast festival. Jimi Hendrix was the headliner along with, Chuck Berry, John Lee Hooker, Blue Cheer, Arthur Brown, Frank Zappa, and the Mothers of Invention, Blues Image, and Tiger Tiger. This was a major event to celebrate one of Rock’s most important festivals.
Soon after, the History Miami Museum show Ken expanded his business ventures and started a new company called VintageRockIcons.com with his longtime friend of over 20 years, Melinda McGilivray. In addition, they have also started a 501c3 nonprofit, The South Florida Rock & Roll Museum Inc. In the future Ken hopes to tour and speak about his life in photography, encouraging the youth of today to express themselves by creating new images in their own way, showing his work to new audiences, and speaking about his career in photography and the people he has met on his journey. The purpose of The South Florida Rock & Roll Museum is to share the history of rock that Ken has captured through his camera lens, and to support and contribute to the local arts scene. The museum would make the public aware of the history of Rock & Roll that South Florida has. Although The South Florida Rock & Roll Museum will initially start with Kens archive it will expand to include other photographers as time and funding allow.
ABOUT NFTs
A Non-Fungible Token, or NFT is a digital asset that represents a wide range of tangible and intangible assets like digital and conventional artwork, collectibles, memorabilia, and other items. However, unlike typical NFTs which are generally digital video or images that represent “moments in time” like an NBA Top Shot or piece of artwork, Oasis will be creating and deploying embedded AR “triggers” in each Oasis supported NFT, and to support and introduce NFT programs, brands, and participants. This will allow users to engage in enabled immersive and “living” shareable experiences through the Liquid Avatar Mobile App and AR enabled websites.
ABOUT OASIS
Oasis brings together leading individuals and organizations in blockchain technology, computer graphics, augmented reality, entertainment, art, sports, gaming, music, media, comic book, memorabilia, and pop culture arenas to support the fast-paced emergence of the NFT marketplace.
The Oasis business model is to create an ongoing partnership with artists, sports personalities, talent, brands, and organizations, and share in the ongoing revenue of the initial sale and any residual sales, creating potential royalty-type revenue relationships. The initial program offerings will consist of digital artwork, with the expected expansion to trading cards, limited editions, and series, and physical product programs.
The Oasis AR Enhanced NFT experience will be available exclusively through the Liquid Avatar Mobile App, which features the ability for user to create digital icons that allow users to manage, control and create value from their biometrically verified digital identity, and is available in the Google Play and Apple App Store.

Mr. Right is led by Tom DeFalco, who was Marvel’s 10th Editor-in-Chief. During his tenure, the company had the most successful fiscal and creative years in its entire eight-decade history. DeFalco was a driving force innovating the entire Marvel Universe with creative concepts used to this day in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He also worked closely with the toy manufacturer Hasbro in the 1980s, heading the creative team that produced the backstory and dossiers that served as the basis for the relaunch of the phenomenally successful G.I. Joe toy line and animated television show.” DeFalco is the author of dozens of graphic novels and hundreds of comic-book stories, including The AmazingSpider-Man, Fantastic Four, Thor, Justice League of America, Archie, Scooby-Doo, and Dazzler, and with artist Ron Frenz created New Warriors and Spider-Girl.
DeFalco has personally created and developed over three dozen characters that have been licensed for television, toys, T-shirts, posters, trading cards and other merchandise, and has written Khan and The Phantom for Moonstone Books. In 1990, he won a Comic-Con International’s Inkpot Award, given to individuals for their contributions to the worlds of comics, science fiction/fantasy, film, television, animation, and fandom services.
For almost 40 years, renowned comic-book artist Ron Frenz has drawn some of the industry’s most iconic characters, including Spider-Man, Thor, Hulk, Captain America, Fantastic Four, Iron Man, She-Hulk, Silver Surfer, Green Lantern, Superman and, as previously mentioned, co-created New Warriors and Spider-Girl with Tom DeFalco. Frenz received the 2009 Nemo Award for Excellence in the Cartoon Arts.
Renowned artist, penciler and inker Sal Buscema has been a fixture in the comic-book industry for almost 60 years, primarily with Marvel, where he spent long runs as artist of The Avengers, The Defenders and The Incredible Hulk. Starting in the industry shortly after graduating high school in 1955, Buscema went on to work in a number of ventures, including the military as an illustrator and later with his brother, famed comic-book artist, John Buscema. With industry credits too long to list, he penciled and mostly inked a 100-issue run on The Spectacular Spider-Man from from 1988 to 1996, Buscema’s DC Comics artwork contributions include Action Comics, Batman, Catwoman, Detective Comics, Green Arrow, Superboy, Superman and Wonder Woman, among others. For Marvel, his contributions include The Amazing Spider-Man, The Avengers, Battlestar Galactica, Captain America, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Ghost Rider, Iron Man, Master of Kung Fu, Silver Surfer, She-Hulk, Rom, Thor, X-Men, and many others. Buscema has collaborated on numerous occasions with both Frenz and DeFalco.
Buscema received the Inkpot Award in 2003 and the Hero Initiative Lifetime Achievement Award in September 2013 at the Baltimore Comic-Con. In 2013, he received the Inkwell Award‘s S.P.A.M.I. (Favorite Small Press and Mainstream-Independent) Award for his work on such titles as G.I. Joe Annual and Dungeons and Dragons: Forgotten Realms. In 2018, he was awarded the Inkwell Awards’ S.P.A.M.I. Award again, for his work on Rom.
“Apex Comics Group is incredibly fortunate to have Tom, Ron and Sal aboard to helm the creative direction for Mr. Right. As a lifelong fan of their work, I can’t wait for the world to see the new adventures they have dreamed up!” – Mariano Nicieza, Apex Comics Group President
Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) are digital assets that represent a wide range of unique tangible and intangible items, from art, comic books and collectible sports cards to virtual real estate and even digital sneakers. One of the main benefits of owning a digital collectible versus a physical collectible like a rookie card or a rare-minted coin is that each NFT contains distinguishing information that makes it both distinct from any other NFT and easily verifiable. This makes the creation and circulation of fake collectibles pointless because each item can be traced back to the original issuer.
Mr. Right Mr. Right is the world’s first NFT super-athlete. Witness the thrill-packed origin of this digital daredevil as he takes on the savage hordes of Big Brother. PLUS, in a bonus story: When video gamer Jeffery “Player One” Lopez’s detective mother is attacked by the Dead Presidents Gang, he turns to the one man who can bring her assailants to justice – Mr. Right, the new champion of split-second action!
“Ron, Sal and I are thrilled to be partnered with Liquid Avatar, Oasis Digital Studios and Apex Comics. NFTs, digital icons and comics are all poised to break new ground in the craft of visual storytelling, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for all of us. Hoo-Ha and thanks for joining us!” – Tom DeFalco
