Ripple Exec: Blockchain, Crypto Will Have a Role in US Tech Independence
“There is a broad discussion in Washington around 5G being dominated by foreign firms and the U.S. being reliant on foreign technology and foreign expertise… With blockchain and crypto, I think there’s a recognition now that these will be part of our future infrastructure… It’s important both for national security and from an economic perspective, that the U.S. is a leader in that.â€
Technology needs to be a national issue for the United States, with digital currencies and blockchain
to be recognized within that goal, according to Ripples’ Director of
Regulatory Relations Ryan Zagone, at the Consensus 2019 conference on
May 14.
Recently, legislators reintroduced the Token Taxonomy Act, that would exclude cryptocurrency
from being classified as a security. The act also pursues the
introduction of regulatory certainty for businesses and regulators in
the U.S. blockchain industry, as well as clarifying conflicting state
initiatives and regulatory rulings that have confused the issue.
Moreover, the announcement calls attention to the growing strength of digital asset markets and the blockchain industry both in Europe and China, and states that the Act is necessary in order to keep the U.S. competitive in the global market.
As reported
in March, the number of lobbies working on blockchain technology issues
in Washington D.C. tripled in 2018, reaching 33 projects in the fourth
quarter of 2018 compared to 12 in the same period of 2017. Jerry Brito,
executive director at the non-profit organization Coin Center, suggested
that the growth is driven by securities regulation.

IBM Establishes 5 Blockchain Principles To Drive Enterprise Adoption And Benefit Society
As an early advocate for blockchain, IBM has been working vigorously to commercialize the technology through its enterprise-grade version of Hyperledger Fabric, known as IBM Blockchain.
Hyperledger Fabric currently empowers 1300 networks in the IBM blockchain cloud, 100 of which are live in production today.
Following years of experimentation and the advancement of established live networks, IBM has now established a set of 5 “blockchain for good principles,†demonstrating how trusted and transparent enterprise blockchains can benefit organizations and society as a whole.
The principles, which are also outlined in an IBM blog post, are:
Open is better
Permissioned doesn’t mean private
Governance is a team sport
Common standards are common sense
Privacy is paramount
When IBM’s CEO, Ginni Rometty, began
commenting on data rights with respect to data analytics, we became
inspired on the blockchain side. Over the past 3 years, we have worked
with many clients and have gained perspectives that have driven these
principles. There are ways to use blockchain technology that are
critical and would lead to good outcomes, but let’s make sure we don’t
leave that to guess work. That is how these 5 principles came about and
it’s our responsibility to abide by them wisely and share them with
others,†Jerry Cuomo, Vice President of IBM Blockchain and IBM Fellow,
told me.
In order to better understand how each principle is being applied, Cuomo went into detail about the standards.
Open Is Better
According to IBM, blockchain networks must foster diverse communities
of open source contributors to promote innovation and ensure the
overall quality of code.
The open is better principle is
carried across many aspects of what we do at IBM. Open is always better
when it comes to the cloud, artificial intelligence or the Internet of
Things, but it has especially interesting implications when looked at
from a blockchain context. We have always been an ‘open by design’
company, but we think carrying that principle to blockchain is
fundamental to our strategy,†explained Cuomo.
For example, IBM points out that The
Hyperledger Project, operated under The Linux Foundation, is a
“greenhouse†for growing enterprise-grade blockchain software with
strong and diverse code contributors.
“Hyperledger is an open technology
co-created by multiple institutions. The users of this technology
benefit since collaborations create diversity,†said Cuomo.
Moreover, Hyperledger Fabric also allows IBM to monetize due to the collaborative nature of the technology.
Institutions like IBM working on
Hyperledger Fabric are able to monetize due to the openness. For
instance, Oracle has the Oracle Blockchain, but they monetize using
Hyperledger Fabric. We are all collaborating to create these blockchain
networks, but we all have competitive offerings. Without breaking the
openness, we can add value to differentiate from our solutions. In turn,
consumers get high quality code offered through multiple institutions.
This is a unique business model built around the idea of open source,â€
noted Cuomo.
Permissioned Doesn’t Mean Private
Although anonymous public blockchains afford a number of powerful
capabilities, IBM believes that these are not suitable for most
enterprises, particularly those in regulated industries. Rather, to
support an enterprise-grade platform aligned with regulatory and
fiduciary responsibilities, enterprise blockchains must be designed
around the principle of permissioned and trusted access. However, it’s
important to understand that permissioned doesn’t mean private.
Blockchain is about trust. For
instance, we trust businesses because of the rules they follow. But
rules also have accountability, meaning you have to know which
businesses are participating in certain systems. There are types of
blockchains that are anonymous like Bitcoin and Ethereum, and there are
types of blockchains like Hyperledger Fabric and several others that are
permissioned. Permissioned is important because it insists that members
of the network are known to the network. Permissions are balanced with
privacy so blockchains that follow these principles have privacy
capabilities that allow members to transact confidentially,†said Cuomo.
Maintaining a balance through a
permissioned network is critical for IBM, as most organizations need to
know whom they’re conducting business with to ensure that no illegal
activity is being transacted over the network.
Governance Is A Team Sport
IBM also believes that enterprise blockchains must embrace
distributed and transparent governance to ensure that networks serve the
needs of all participants and are managed in a manner reflective of
each use case.
“Governance means rules. These rules will define who the elected
officials are, who is responsible for what roles and obligations, etc.
Governance is mandatory in a blockchain network,†said Cuomo.
Moreover, IBM notes that a trusted governance model requires at least
three designated trust anchors and that governance frameworks should
also take into account a network’s funding model.
For example, the Verfied:Me identity network in Canada, convened by
SecureKey Inc, has enlisted major Canadian banks to participate as trust
anchors to host nodes and validate network transactions. SecureKey has
created a governance model that involves ongoing checks and balances
between its constituent working groups.
Common Standards Are Common Sense
Additionally, IBM understands that enterprise blockchains should be
architected around common standards that are interoperable in order to
help future-proof networks, prevent vendor lock-in and foster a robust
ecosystem of innovators. This also involves interoperability of cloud
platforms. And while most blockchain networks presently exist in siloes,
the technology is evolving to support a network of networks.
According to IBM, the first step in promoting this interoperability is to make blockchains visible to one another through a registry, such as Hacera Unbounded. Moreover,
blockchain networks should define and publish their data models and
policies for change according to industry standards.
Privacy Is Paramount
Finally, IBM thinks that an enterprise blockchain should control who
can access data and under what circumstances. Blockchain networks must
also abide by privacy regulations such as GDPR. In most cases, that
means any personal data should be kept off-chain.
For example, IBM Food Trust
is a blockchain network aimed at ensuring food safety, freshness and
sustainability. This network enables brands like Walmart, Albertsons and
Driscoll to leverage shared data to enact various supply-chain
efficiencies, while safeguarding each member’s proprietary information.

Israel is at the Forefront of Medical Cannabis Research
Israel is one of the most progressive nations for medical marijuana
research comes courtesy of the government’s involvement. Not only do
they sponsor the majority of clinical trials, but the Israeli military
has endorsed the cannabinoid THC as part of a treatment program for
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In 2017 Israel saw more than 110
clinical trials take place. Their topic of study included cannabis as a
treatment for Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis (MS), Crohn’s disease and
several other forms of chronic pain. Israel dominates the medical
marijuana research space and the Government has plans to build one of
the world’s most extensive medical cannabis research and development
facilities in the world.
Andy Jagpal, President, Comments: “We are excited
to strike a relationship to develop a CBD infused energy drink as
Canada’s edible marijuana market is around the corner from being fully

2 weeks ago we interviewed BetterU (BTRU:TSXV) CEO Brad Loiselle from his head office in Ottawa with the title “BetterU On The Move In India With Partnerships, Products and Personnel”
Today, he’s literally on the move as we interview him directly from India where he and Gurmit Singh, the company’s newest addition and Former Managing Director of Yahoo India and CEO Forbes India, are on a whirlwind tour of meetings throughout India where they are presenting BetterU to some very (VERY) large companies and organizations. As you will soon see for yourself, reaction and response to the BetterU Education Marketplace has been excellent, with the company expecting to generate meaningful agreements in the very near future.
The great thing about interviews is that CEO’s can’t hide behind text based corporate jargon. Rather, investors are given a great opportunity to read body language, facial expressions and voice fluctuations to gauge just how confident (or lack thereof) the CEO actually is. I know I do …. and I told Brad on-air that his confidence and happiness was bursting through the screen. Adding to this is the fact that Gurmit Singh was sitting right beside him, without a mic, chiming in some answers, which leads viewers to believe things are going really well.
Naturally, we’ll let you be the final judge. Grab a coffee, watch this great interview with Company CEO, Brad Loiselle and let us know what you think.

Signed a Letter of Intent with Essence Farms, LLC, to form a joint venture (“JVâ€) called Riverside Hemp Project to run farming operations in California for the purpose of growing, cultivating, manufacturing, extracting and selling legal hemp and hemp-derived CBD.
Marijuana Company of America will provide hemp seeds, genetics, management of operations and standard operating procedures. Essence, a cultivator and land owner, will provide all necessary licenses for the legally compliant growth and sale of hemp in Riverside, California.
ESCONDIDO, Calif., May 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NetworkWire – MARIJUANA COMPANY OF AMERICA, INC., (“MCOA†or the “Companyâ€) (OTCQB: MCOA), an innovative hemp and cannabis corporation, announced today that the Company has signed a Letter of Intent (“LOIâ€) with Essence Farms, LLC, (“Essenceâ€) to form a joint venture (“JVâ€) called Riverside Hemp Project to run farming operations in California for the purpose of growing, cultivating, manufacturing, extracting and selling legal hemp and hemp-derived CBD.
Through the agreement,
Marijuana Company of America will provide hemp seeds, genetics,
management of operations and standard operating procedures. Essence, a
cultivator and land owner, will provide all necessary licenses for the
legally compliant growth and sale of hemp in Riverside, California.
“MCOA
strives to be a leader in producing and distributing hemp, and we
believe this joint venture will allow the Company to further its vision
by establishing itself as a premier company in the hemp sector,†said
Don Steinberg, Chief Executive Officer of Marijuana Company of America.
“With the ongoing return of net profits this project is expected to
provide MCOA, we are confident that signing this Letter of Intent is
another strategic step for the Company and we look forward to expanding
further in both the cannabis and hemp markets in California. If all goes
according to plan, this will by far be the most financially successful
venture the Company has been involved in.â€
Marijuana Company of
America will receive an 80% return of net profits for the JV on an
ongoing basis, as well as a long-term lease on the property with
favorable lease terms. The project includes up to 500 usable acres of
land in California’s Riverside County that has sufficient water and
power and is specifically suited for large-scale cultivation. The
Company is in the process of sourcing the highest quality seeds that
will yield a high percentage of CBD with legally compliant low levels of
THC. It is projected that each acre will produce 2,500 pounds of hemp
biomass. Based on prevailing fair market rates at this time, the biomass
can be sold for approximately $35 a pound. If the Company processes the
biomass as it intends to do, at least in part, the biomass will produce
a significantly higher financial return. Additionally, the property is
equipped with several large structures that are suitable for the storage
and drying of the hemp plants. A highly experienced cultivation team
has been engaged to manage the operations and cultivation of the farm.

Company has entered into a long-term agreement with AMS Heli Design of Denison, Texas.
AMS is a Helicopter EMS Interior provider, specializing in Air Ambulance configuration through the use of new lightweight materials and new generation technologies.
TORONTO, May 14, 2019 — Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd. (CSE: SNA) (CSE: SNA.CN) (OTCQB: SNAVF) (“Star†or the “Companyâ€) announces that the Company has entered into a long-term agreement with AMS Heli Design (“AMSâ€) of Denison, Texas. (www.amsheli.com)
AMS is a Helicopter EMS Interior provider, specializing in Air
Ambulance configuration through the use of new lightweight materials and
new generation technologies.
As a result of this agreement, the parties are now offering the
STAR-ISAMM™ System as part of the Helicopter Emergency Medical Services
(“HEMSâ€) configuration. STAR-ISAMM™ interfaces with existing bio-medical
equipment aboard a medical evacuation and transport helicopter or
airplane. It securely transmits the patients’ vital signs and other
critical information directly to receiving hospital physicians through
SATCOM or GSM, while at the same time providing tracking and location of
the vehicle. These data services allow early patient assessment and
initiation of the best possible care plan, well before the patient
arrives at the facility.
The STAR-ISAMM™ System was first successfully presented live in
Montreal at the end of 2018, to the private sector and to government
bodies. It will be fitted into an integrated EMS kit by AMS and sold
initially to the USA and Canada by AMS, leveraging on its expertise in
helicopters and established presence and from 2020 in all world regions.
The STAR-ISAMM™ System is the result of the combined efforts of both
the Company’s’ internal R&D department and those of its Montreal
subsidiary, STAR-ISONEO INC. and is an innovative application of the
Company’s patented STAR-ISMS® technology.
Andrea Girolin, CEO at AMS said:
“Our vision is to support customers with EMS interiors meeting their
operational requirements using new technologies and materials, being
light weight, solid, safe and durable.â€
J-L Larmor, VP Corporate Development at Star, said:
“Star has now a unique and leading position in the HEMS sector, being
able to not only provide Airborne Data Services to the aerospace
industry but expanding our breadth to serve the EMS sector by providing
medical data services. Both AMS and Star are excited about being world
leaders in providing the best health care for EMS patients.â€
