After a challenging 2022, where they faced £1.3m in impairments and an overall loss of £2m, the company reported a much improved £660,000 loss in 2023. This recovery was driven by rising cryptocurrency prices and a lean operational strategy.

Coinsilium Group Limited (AQSE:COIN, OTCQB:CINGF) executive chairman Malcolm Palle speaks to Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the current state of Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market. Palle delved into the aftermath of Bitcoin's halving event, explaining its impact on Bitcoin miners and market sentiment. He discussed the concept of 'miner capitulation' and how the reduction in mining rewards affects market dynamics. Palle highlighted that despite the reduced supply of Bitcoin, the price has not increased as expected. He attributed this to miners selling off their reserves to stay operational during low-profit periods. "We're kind of living in the aftermath of the halving," Palle said, emphasizing the cyclical nature of the market. Looking beyond the halving event, Palle examined the influence of US monetary policy and the growing demand for Bitcoin ETFs. He noted that institutional interest in cryptocurrencies is increasing, with Bitcoin being the primary focus due to its established reputation. As the market navigates these fluctuations, Palle expressed optimism for the future, stating, "Medium-term we're optimistic, long-term we're very optimistic." He predicted that the market might see significant improvements towards the end of the summer and anticipated a strong performance by 2025. For more in-depth insights, watch the full interview.

Coinsilium Group Limited (AQSE:COIN, OTCQB:CINGF) Eddy Travia provides an update on Byzance, a Web3 social network ecosystem project, in an interview with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion. Travia explained that Web3 represents the next stage of the internet, aiming to decentralise social media, offering users control over their content and private data, differing from the centralised nature of current Web2 platforms. Byzant focuses on enhancing user control and monetisation methods for content creators. Travia said Coinsilium is collaboratively actively with portfolio company Indorse, a blockchain technology studio, and A-ADS, a pioneering crypto advertising network, to address the challenges of Web2 and transition to Web3. The project includes Adbazaar, a platform concentrating on smart contract-powered advertising, enabling more user benefits. Adbazaar aims to facilitate on-chain targeting, an innovative approach in advertising that utilises publicly visible wallet assets to tailor advertisements. This collaboration extends to Singapore-based company, Linkko, highlighting Byzant as an ecosystem comprising various applications to support Web3 companies. Advertising, pivotal in Web2's social media industry, is seen as underdeveloped in Web3, with platforms like Adbazaar positioned to pioneer this sector. Travia also touched on the progression of Byzant, mentioning that several applications are in development or test mode, with a focus on Adbazaar as the next significant phase. #CoinsiliumGroup #Web3 #Byzant #Blockchain #SocialMedia #Decentralisation #SmartContracts #CryptoAdvertising #AdBazaar #TechInnovation #ProactiveInvestors #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Coinsilium Group Ltd (AQSE:COIN, OTCQB:CINGF) Executive Chairman Malcolm Palle discusses Bitcoin's notable move above the US$50,000 mark for the first time in two years, a milestone he and his team anticipated. Palle highlighted the significant role of ETF (exchange-traded fund) approvals in the US in this upward trend, pointing out that the liquidity event created by the conversion of the Grayscale Fund to an ETF allowed investors to move their funds to other ETF providers with lower fees. This shift initially dampened the price increase despite high trading volumes. However, as market conditions stabilized, a supply crunch ensued due to insatiable demand for Bitcoin ETFs, contributing to the price surge. Palle also touched on the competitive landscape among ETF providers, emphasizing the dominance of major players like Fidelity and BlackRock. Looking ahead, Palle mentioned the upcoming Bitcoin halving event in April as a potential catalyst for further price increases, given its historical impact on market dynamics. He also explored the relationship between Bitcoin and broader economic factors, such as inflation and interest rates, suggesting that Bitcoin is increasingly seen as a store of value akin to gold. #Bitcoin #ETFApproval #Cryptocurrency #BitcoinSurge #CoinsiliumGroup #MalcolmPalle #BitcoinETF #CryptoMarket #DigitalCurrency #Blockchain #InvestingInCrypto #BitcoinPrice #FinancialMarkets #CryptoTrends #HalvingEvent #BitcoinDemand #StoreOfValue #EconomicFactors #BitcoinInvestment #CryptoInsights #FinancialAnalysis #ProactiveInvestors #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Luca Netz is a serial entrepreneur and the owner and CEO of Pudgy Penguins, the leading Web3 IP Company. After a tough childhood and 10 years of homelessness, Luca dropped out of high school at 16 to "go make some money." He started his first company at 18 and, just one year later, was raking in millions from his dropshipping empire, leveraging influencers on Instagram. In 2022, Luca acquired Pudgy Penguins for $2.5M and completely turned the brand around by applying his "secret playbook"—just like he did with Von Dutch a few years before that, eventually bringing the struggling vintage brand to $100M in annual revenue in less than 1 year! After just a year at the helm of the Pudgy Penguins brand, the Luca magic has struck again: he has not only managed to get 2,000 Walmart stores to sell Pudgy toys, but he has also created the ultimate community of Web3 builders. In this episode, we talk about Luca's blueprint for entrepreneurial success, imposter syndrome, how complacency leads to failure, his Web3 "aha" moment, people-pleasing in business, and of course, his mission with Pudgy Penguins: to become the number one NFT project in the world, the face of Web3, and one of the world's most beloved characters and hot IP brands.

Magnus Grimeland is a husband, father, Ironman triathlete, and the Founder of Antler, one of the most active VCs globally. Before building Antler from scratch, Magnus co-founded Zalora, the leading online fashion store in Asia. In this episode, Magnus recounts how losing a family member at the age of 7 made him question the meaning of life at a very young age and gave him the drive and ambition to achieve great things in life: from receiving a scholarship for college, to studying alongside Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin at Harvard, to becoming a partner at McKinsey, to building the leading online fashion store in Asia, to now being world's day zero investor supporting founders globally in the hardest and most creative moment of their entrepreneurial journey - the inception. We also talk about how to find one's life purpose early, happiness, having kids at a young age, mental health, how to develop judgment, and the concept of "frontloading" which is key for entrepreneurs to achieve success.

The UK Investor Magazine Podcast is joined by Alan Green for a discussion around UK equities and the global economic environment.We start by looking at the latest UK inflation data which jumped to a whopping 9.1% in May with predictions it will continue to rise through the summer. Our focus shifts to the market's perception of this data and what it means for central bank action.With major central banks set for further interest rates hikes, there is a real risk of a recession both in the UK and US. However, there is plenty of room for easing after this which will be welcomed by the markets and could spark an equities rally. Berkeley Group Holdings shares stumbled in early trade after the Housebuilder said their margins were being squeezed by rising input prices and a lower mix of housing sales.We explore Coinsilium in a backdrop of crypto volatility and drill down into their blockchain operations.We finish with a rundown of Vela Technologies portfolio, especially a number of upcoming IPOs from their portfolio companies.

Welcome to the 41st CONKERS’ CORNER recorded on 21st December 2016. In this interview I have the pleasure of speaking with Jan Skoyles @Skoylesy, a unique force in the Fintech, Blockchain sector and Gold commodity space. Jan is also a highly regarded consultant, blogger and serial entrepreneur. Jan is also the founder and a partner at Barlings Consulting in Dubai, as well as a Research Executive at Goldcore. Jan grew up in the Midlands in what she describes as a “typical middle class upbringing”. She explained that she was very lucky and her parents encouraged her to be anything she wanted to be, “whether that was a fairy godmother or an astronaut”. After successfully completing school, Jan went onto study for an Economics Degree at Aston University in Birmingham. Jan became very disenfranchised with her studies which she was undertaking during the time of the financial crisis. She felt that things did not add up with regards to views what of President Magabe did in Zimbabwe and that of what Ben Bernanke was doing with regards quantitative easing (QE). Whilst on her final year placement with BP, Jan became very ill and had to extend studies across a further two years. It was during this difficult time that she was introduced to Ned Naylor-Leyland, a well known figure in the world of gold and silver investing. As Jan was still undecided as to what topic to cover for her dissertation, Ned suggested she write her dissertation on “the return of gold and silver to the monetary system”. Jan did just that and graduated from Aston University in 2011 with a Degree in International Business and Economics. She describes her dissertation “as her golden ticket” as it grabbed the attention of a few gold companies. Straight from University, Jan joined the gold investment platform start-up: The Real Asset Co (TRAC), as a co-founder. Jan covered several roles including that of CEO during her tenure at TRAC. Whilst in her role as CEO, the TRAC team did a funding round and implemented a basic blockchain. TRAC were essentially one of the first to get involved in the blockchain space. This discussion provides a useful insight into the journey that Jan has taken, which so far has encompassed Fintech, Bitcoin, Blockchain and Gold. The topics we discussed include: Fintech is many different things; Fintech start-up opportunities; Dubai/Middle East Fintech Bitcoin/Blockchain innovation; First love being Gold; Working with The Real Asset Co, Coinsilium, Goldcore, Barlings Consulting; Where Jan holds her investments; Start-up valuations, the difference between RABBITS and UNICORNS; Our changing relationship with Banks/Financial organisations. Listen now to gain insights into how Jan Skoyles, traverses the Fintech, Bitcoin, Blockchain and Gold space. Learn why Jan states that one of her wisest investments is seizing opportunities and why one of her favourite quotes is “Never turn down an invitation to a cocktail party”. Learn from the lessons in her successful, insightful business/entreprenuerial and investing journey.
Welcome to the 9th CONKERS’ CORNER. In this interview I have the pleasure of speaking with Malcolm Palle @malcolmpalle . Malcolm’s career started in the Travel and Leisure sector as a Tour Guide in Eastern Europe and he is now a serial entrepreneur and shrewd private investor. He admittedly had “no strategy” in the 1980’s and learnt a lot of expensive lessons, especially during the 1987 crash. One of Malcolm’s favourite maxims is “Markets are only really there for two things, to make you money or to teach you a lesson”. His entrepreneurial streak started when he was a Managing Director of CBNP Ltd and he pioneered the company going into Value Added Services (VAS) within the mobile telecoms Service Provider (SP) niche. In 2000 the business was acquired and integrated into an insurance administration operator. He also founded Garantia Nationala SA, a Specialist Travel Insurance Service Provider based in Bucharest, Romania. After running the company successfully for two years, the business was acquired in 1998 by the domestic Romanian Insurer, Carrier Alliance Tiriac. He is currently the co-Founder and Director of Catalyst Information Services Ltd. The flagship operation is a fast growing investor hub and web publisher @theminingmaven http://www.miningmaven.com/ focusing on investment opportunities in the mining, exploration, natural resources energy and clean-tech sector. Established in 2009 MiningMaven has grown to become one of the leading investor communications and web publishing services with a primary focus on the UK and Australian small cap natural resources markets. In addition, @UKInvestorForum http://www.ukinvestorforums.com/ was formed in 2013 as an Events organiser with a focus on emerging opportunities and alternative investments. His role within both areas of the business focuses on development, strategy marketing and sales. In March 2014 with an eye on the Bitcoin revolution, Malcolm founded @CoinsiliumGroup http://coinsilium.com/ . Coinsilium was the first Bitcoin/Blockchain IPO in the world when it joined the ISDX Growth Market in December 2014. The company is now set to be a major player in this emerging area. Now a experienced and shrewd private investor with a refined investment strategy, Malcolm has numerous examples of exceptional returns including that of Red Rock Resources. He started buying RRR in 2009 at 0.25p and his timing and cyclical analysis led him to vast profits as the stock hit 16.00p and went as high as 20.00p. Listen now to gain insights into how Malcom invests and learn from the lessons in his investing journey.

Our guest on todays podcast is Patrick Birley CEO of NEX Exchange. NEX is a Recognised Investment Exchange in London under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and was formally known as ISDX which in turn emerged from 'Plus Markets'. NEX is now positioning itself to present a serious alternative to the London Stock Exchange's AIM Market - in every sense of the word. However, if it is to be seen as a credible competitive challenger, it has many perception issues to overcome. In this interview Patrick discusses what NEX is doing to rise to that challenge and win over its critics. At Barbarian Investors we love a good 'come-back' story and listening to Patrick in this podcast, it is clear that there has been much preparatory work going on behind the scenes over the last couple of years. And whilst there is still some way to go, we believe that this time round there is every chance that NEX could actually crack it! #Coinsilium #coin #NEX We hope you enjoy listening.
