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.”
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”
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.
If you didn’t know any better, you would think CEO David Lucatch wrote the Ontario Digital Strategy paper himself! He didn’t but the next best thing is this interview with CEO David Lucatch for an even deeper discussion into what this all means for $LQID and YOU.

Announced that it will open four new Cedar Psychiatry clinics doubling its network to eight total locations
Begun construction on three of the New Clinics and leased a fourth additional property
Expanded capacity from the New Clinics is forecasted to increase Novamind’s patient volume from 20,000 client visits recorded in 2020 to approximately 65,000 client visits anticipated in 2021
New clinics represent the first phase of Novamind’s national expansion strategy
TORONTO, ON / May 4, 2021 / Novamind Inc. (CSE:NM)(OTC PINK:NVMDF)(FSE:HN2) (“Novamind” or the “Company”), a leading mental health company specialized in psychedelic medicine, is pleased to announce that it will open four new Cedar Psychiatry clinics (the “New Clinics”), doubling its network to eight total locations.
The expanded capacity from the New Clinics is forecasted to increase Novamind’s patient volume from 20,000 client visits recorded in 2020 to approximately 65,000 client visits anticipated in 2021, a 225% increase.
Novamind has begun construction on three of the New Clinics and leased a fourth additional property. Scheduled to open between July and September 2021, the New Clinics represent the initial phase of Novamind’s national expansion strategy whereby the Company is replicating the successful operating track record of its current clinics in Utah, at scale, ahead of its expansion into other American states in 2021.
Novamind’s investment in the expansion of its clinic network follows a significant increase in demand from clients for mental health services to address existing unmet needs and the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. All Cedar Psychiatry clinics currently have a 2-week wait time for booking new appointments.
The New Clinics will each offer a range of treatments including ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, SpravatoTM, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). The Draper, Murray, and Salt Lake City locations will also offer opportunities for patients to participate in clinical trials for psychedelic medicine that are led by Cedar Clinical Research, Novamind’s clinical research arm. The Park City location will uniquely serve as both a clinic and a retreat center offering therapeutic psychedelic experiences, leveraging its community’s reputation as a world-class destination.
“We are doubling the size of our clinic network six months ahead of schedule, with the added capacity enabling us to scale to 65,000 client visits in 2021,” said Yaron Conforti, CEO and Director of Novamind. “Expect continued and aggressive growth as we expand Novamind’s clinic network and clinical research infrastructure ahead of the FDA’s anticipated approvals of MDMA and psilocybin.”
Novamind is making additional strategic investments in the infrastructure required to support the rapid growth in client volumes at its clinics. A new, dedicated call center is under construction and will enhance Novamind’s network of eight clinics by improving communications with clients and referring physicians, as well as facilitating the significant increase in processing of insurance reimbursements. Additional details for each of the New Clinics and the call center will be announced in subsequent press releases.

Arctic Star $ADD $ASDZF Is exploring for diamonds at its Diagras Property, NWT and are using non-traditional methods to identify Kimberlites they believe host economic diamond potential.
Early success through drilling to date suggests they may have indeed made a discovery at time when very few peers exist while demand for diamonds is increasing. This success supports the overall exploration concept and indicates Arctic may be on to a new method of identifying diamonds.
If you are going to explore for diamonds, you need to look where other mines are with the right geology; and this is where Buddy Doyle comes in to play for Arctic. Buddy made a major discovery in the same area with Rio Tinto and the Diavik mine ( produced over 100 million carats since 2003) and is currently guiding the exploration drilling targeting Non-Magnetics to identify Kimberlite; which Arctic is now 3 for 3 in identifying.
The exploration success Arctic is encountering couldn’t be happening at a better time as the market appears to be waking up to the incredible opportunity Arctic offers. Have a listen and discover why Arctic Star is the next SmallCap discovery.
