April 27, 2022
Turns out I was a little wrong: when you submit a link through my uni’s submission site, the site shows a screenshot of the page at the time of its submission lol.  Profs do have the option to go through to the page as it presently is though.
So my dad who introduced me to Thundercats (1985) years ago told me that Thundercats (2011) ends on a cliffhanger that eleven years later still leaves a void in his heart.  UM EXCUSE ME WHAT.  I AM SO UPSET??  It’s literally such a good show for kids and I-- I mean Imma watch the whole first season bc I’m invested (and I’m a masochist, I guess) but I’m afraid that the end is going to hurt more than it hurts to think about how the creators of Lost strung us (HA “us” (as if I didn’t binge that show over the course of a single year with basically one major break while I was at school)) along for years while they tried to make us believe that there was some big plan they had for their whole plot.  Tbh I feel like a fan-written version could do so much better.  Like, keep in a ton of the stuff from the original series, maybe even that weird ending, but from the get-go we’d need mysteries that had actual answers.  ...I’m getting off track, sorry.
It’s like... as good as I felt like the writing was for A Song of Ice and Fire books 1-3, I don’t think I’m going to go back in to finish the series unless GRRM publishes that last book.  An unfinished series by any means hurts my little completionist heart.
...Smallville is on Hulu.
Hm.
Hm.
I should not have access to streaming services while on campus; this is what my dad warned me about.
Almost every time so far that I’ve come from hanging out with saxophone-guy, I get this immense feeling afterward of “I don’t know what I’m doing.  This feels wrong and I feel panicked.”  It’s honestly pretty tiring, and I don’t know how to fix it.  Feelin real “Never Love an Anchor” right about now and that hurts.  And there’s a good chance that it’s all in my head too.
And then, now that I’m on the verge of crying from stress anyway I might as well share, I’m doing really really not great in biochemistry and that’s stressing me out a little a lot whenever I think about it.  Uncurved, I have a 70% in the class (and I know, I know, maybe that doesn’t seem all that terrible, but I’ve literally never gotten a C in my LIFE and I most certainly cannot afford one if I’m applying to graduate school this fall??) right now.  It’s looking like the class average is somewhere around a 65%.
Today I’m thankful that my research day presentation went really well.  I’m super thankful for that, actually.  For two whole hours (the session I did at the conference last month was only one) I got to share my interests with so many people (some of whom admitted to stopping by because they couldn’t pronounce the title of my poster lol) and people asked some really cool questions (and none of them were particularly tough), so there was definitely genuine interest in what I was saying (I was even told that I explained my ideas really clearly to people outside of my disciplines which made me feel super warm and fuzzy).  Since this was an interdisciplinary event, I also got the chance to walk up to other presenters and ask about their research, and people are doing some really really cool stuff at my university!

My Report of Top 10 Economical Impacts of COVID-19
Tumblr media
Top 10 Effects and Changes due to COVID-19 Impacts. 1. Collectable Trading Cards have seen significant inflation. About 5 years worth condensed over a few months. https://articles.starcitygames.com/2020/05/04/reserved-list-commander-staples-are-spiking-its-time-to-take-action/ Reasons: > US Market Dependent or Influence. Other countries base prices on US websites and ebay for fair market value. > US Government stimulus checks. People having excess weekly to spend money. Use the money to target and buyout multiple copies of a card to inflate their prices. > Overhype in the Pokemon community - Jake Paul unboxing 1st edition Pokemon Card Booster Box on a charity stream at the end of last year. Graded cards up 25%-200% depending on print, condition and rarity. Young nostalgic adults now has disposable income to re-connect with their childhood and invest in an appreciating asset. > MTG Reserve list cards, (non-reprintable cards) all it takes is one buy out of a desierable reserve list card and boom, people get FOMO. Significant influence comes from Youtubers, Streamers and Podcasts that talk about the buyouts. This advertises a potential to make money of cards, consequently making other reserve list cards a target. My Relationship. I bought reserve list cards from the start of 2020 till the end of december. I’ve even bought some as late as March after the boom. I spent and traded about $9,200-$9,600 on MTG Reserve List Cards. I estimate that I’ve spent about 7,000 in Cash and the other $2200-$2,600 as trades. Todays market value’s my collection of reserve list cards at approx $14,351 USD or $20534.87 NZD. I plan on holding at least for another 5 years to gain a 100-200% increase. 2. Steam, Xbox, PS4-5, Nintendo online co-current online player bases explodes over lockdown. Reasons: > People are self-isolating at home, nothing to do, limited education. More inclined to get distracted by playing games to pass the time. > Game Publishers and other services promoting deals and sales for people to buy new games. Opportunity to make more from accessibility and user pool. > Sheep in the crowd are more likely to hop online to play with friends since social distancing is in place. Keeps people connected and sane. Boosts optimism and friendships. My Relationship. I was playing CSGO and other games over the course of lockdown. There was no certainty about Uni. No one knew what to do as Universities and Schools prepair and co-ordinate for online learning. I noticed more people on networks, servers and streaming services that connected people from playing games to a form of communicating media. Steam database suggests a large increase to co-current players playing CSGO, Dota and PUBG. 3. In home entertainment sales for consoles, desktop PC’s and TV systems increase in demand and price Reasons: > Again, people in lockdown, to busy themselves and pass the time, consumers will opt to a form of rewarding entertainment. > Prices for parts went out of stock. > Families with younger people are constantly bored and will bother parents as they work. > Limited supply of consoles released, as a result, high volume for buy orders. > Shares for streaming services like Netflix, Disney, Amazone Prime, HBO, Lightbox and Quickflix   My Relationship. Parent’s used Netflix religiously, best way to kill a TV series was in Lockdown with all the free time on our hands. I personally sought to buy a custom pc, however there was no stock for the parts and second hand markets for parts was over valued. Bad time to buy unless you were a month out from the first lockdown. 4. Small and Large Buisnesses transition online for a click and collect or deliver service. Reasons: > Keep people with retail jobs busy and earning > Better making something than nothing, It effects the way buisnesses calculate their quarterly budgets. > Essential for small buisnesses to make ends meet. > Great for people who are stuck at home and need products to help with their day to day lives. People can have that accessibility. My Relationship. Working part-time for a retail store. In the first lock down, we were not working but the leadership team were apllying for the government buisness subsidy. We did not get it, so bunnings cut it’s losses by closing several stores that did not make much. For us, eventually all our services were online for customers to participate in click and collect. We never made the smae back on a normal day but at least it was something. 5. Essential goods become high demand and are bought out for price gouging. Reasons: > People will buy out common sanitary goods, masks, hand sanitiser, toiilet paper. > Buisnesses will start to limit purchases per person. > Smart individuals or teams will buy in bulk and then sell else where for a a 100-200% mark up. > Opportunity to try new recipes for fun or testing. My Relationship. Working in retail, the team is the highest priority to make sure we have enough essential sanitary goods. The rest we can sell at a limit. However during the first lockdown, we sold out and we caught people selling for a rediculous mark up just down the road or even outside the store. 6. Social media marketing increases sevenfold Reasons: > People are spending more time on their devices. > More exposure for online marketing and trade. > Most buisnessess can only operate online. My Relationship. Started to notice more adds on FB and Instagram with people pushing ideas or products from lockdown. Most servicess were pushing the click and collect service online so you could still recieve your goods face to face. 7. General population make large asset purchases within New Zealand instead of spending the money on travel and overseas spending. Reasons: > People are stuck inside NZ and can’t travel as freely as planned. > Funds saved will go towards other desired luxuries. > Shortage of cars and higher second hand market on trade me. My Realtionship Both parents bought new cars to replace old ones. Parents also planned trips to go down south. At the same time, prices were a premium and no sales of the sort, except for travel which was dying for people to spend money on their service to come and use. 8. Global Share Markets enter a 4-6 month depression at the height of the first and second lockdowns. Reasons: > Cashing out, flooding quanity buy orders. > No confidence in some brands and markets as COVID-19 ma > Cover living expenses, people have uncertainty if you don’t make as much as the average earner in NZ My Realtionship Following stocks and learning more about investing in them. This was a great time to invest, however, no one quite knew where the bottom was. 9. Government relief checks for Small and medium sized buisnesses. Reasons: > Keep people’s jobs alive > Keep confidence in the government. > Provide assistance for those who are suffering from hardships. My Relationship. Bunnings did apply for the stimulus relief fund over the first lockdown but was not successful to recieve the fund 10. Industries dependant on Travel, Immigration, Location based entertainment, forced to reduce workforce. Reasons: > No one can travel > No airflights, or travel into country unless  you are a resident. My Relationship. I’ve met new people who have left the travel and travel entertainment industry as a consequence of covid. This has also shriveled up cost of running the buisnessess.

hi everyone !!!! i’m a rising freshman at college/uni and thinking back on the college apps process i realized that i learned a lot that i would like to share !! i was successful with my college apps so im hoping i can give good advice✨
want to see more of this series? click here for the rest of the posts !!
the basics
tbh i personally loved going on campus tours !!! i think they are a very important aspect of the application process and shouldn’t be overlooked. a campus tour can easily make or break ur college list. additionally, if it wasn’t for campus tours, i would’ve never found the ~perfect~ school 4 me
scheduling - a lot of posts abt tours i’ve seen say to try and go when class is in schedule to get the campus vibe but tbh even if u go during the summer u can still get a good feel of what the school is gonna be like i only did my tours over the summer and u can still get a rly good feel based on the campus itself and the small number of students are there !
info sessions - if an info session is offered before the tour then please try and go to it ! they provide some of the basics about a school and often have a small q&a session with the admissions officer running it
the tour itself - if you can hang around the front of the group. this will allow you to hear better, easily ask questions, and possibly overhear someone else asking a question that you might not of thought of. just trying not to constantly invade your guide’s personal space or bombard them with so many questions that they can’t give anyone else attention
ask for what you want to see - idk whose idea this was but so many tours that i went on did not show a classroom which makes no sense since you are here to learn. if you do not visit a classroom or any other facility you would like to see (for me, i made sure to visit the main libraries), then ask after the tour if you can see one! i rly did not have a problem with this and most people told me where there were open buildings where classrooms could be seen. just remember that you still might not be able to visit certain locations as most university buildings only allow students to enter (it never hurts to ask)
with this being said, pay attention on tours for classrooms. while the tour might not stop in one, there’s a good chance you could walk by one so peak through the windows (if their isnt a class in session there - dont be creepy) so you can get a feel for what they look like.
why you should go - as long as time/money permit, then you should visit every college you can. like i already mentioned (and will explain later in this post), a campus tour can help decide if a school is truly right for you. going on a campus tour also shows demonstrated interest in school which can only be a positive when it comes to applying. the school will have on record that you visited there and then you automatically end up on their mailing lists (if you can’t visit make sure u sign up for the mailing list for this same reason). even if u have unofficially gone to a school hundreds of times do a campus tour
note taking
i didn’t actually see a whole lot of other students taking notes but i felt it was important in remembering details about the school and to gather information (if needed) for the why X school essay. i had a small notebook that i would write the important things from the info sessions, the feel/look of the campus itself, the vibe other students gave, the way the dorms/classrooms/cafeteria/library looked, answers to any questions i asked, or whatever else i felt was important. just remember to give your tour guide respect and pay attention to them more than your notebook
Tumblr media
as you can see i took note taking very seriously
asking questions
this is super important as it’s the best time to understand what a school is like from an actual student. while they are there to sell u a school, they’re still gonna be more honest then info pamphlets 
questions to ask
what made u choose X school among others?
this question is so !!! important !!!! i think this can help you grasp what kind of student fits w/ a particular school. if you end up with a tour guide who gives an insightful response, it can help reveal the values of both the school and the students. if u are like me and didnt have any top picks in mind beforehand or didnt rly know what you want in a school this can be helpful in understanding why people have their top choices and why they feel attachment to a certain school. additionally, if you are torn between two (or more!) schools when it comes to decision time, this can help u determine which school will be a better fit.
however, in my experience, many students tend to respond to this “i just had the right feeling when i visited the school” or some variation of this so you might not always get the best answer but try to get them to elaborate a bit more. for example, one of my tour guides was from london so i asked her why she wanted to go to school in america and what made her choose this school over other american colleges. while it’s not directly asking why X school i was able to get a more detailed answer to this question !
what are some unique traditions that X school has?
this ties into the previous question as it involves reasons for selecting one school over another but the main reason to ask this is for the “why X school” essay (i’ll talk about how to do these in a later post). not every school will have this extra essay, but many do so it’s important to be prepared ! this will give you content that’s more in depth and shows that you did research on the school
what’s the student body like?
are they super involved in service/volunteering? do sports function as the main social events? are people quiet and chill or major partiers?
while i talked about this in my post about researching schools, now is the best time to understand the ~vibe~ a school as. you should also observe other students around you and see what they are doing. you don’t need to ask the specific questions/similar ones that i listed, but make sure you get a general idea ! (unless of course you want to ask specifically about these things)
specific programs for your major
if you know what you would like to study, then ask questions about their specific program. (i did not know what i wanted to study, so i didnt ask these kinds of questions and unfortunately can’t offer much advice on how to ask)
ask about your tour guide’s major
if your major is not their major, they might not be able to provide much information outside of the general facts about it but ask about their major(s) ! i’m sure they’ll be glad to talk about what they are studying and it can give you a feel how the academics work in general about the school (especially if your major is within the same college/school @ the university b/c policies and whatnot will be very similar.)
@studywithanu has a guide on asking questions on campus tours written from their perpsective as a tour guide please check it out !
questions to NOT ask i can’t speak for tour guides on what they find annoying and what they don’t but just on the few campus tours that i went on i heard so much of the same bullshit questions (not trying to be harsh but some of it got to me). who knows, maybe some of these questions are only bad in my opinion but honestly i felt people could be using their time to ask better questions
what’s the difference between early action/early decision?
pal not to be rude but if u dont know this at this point then one props to u for not being completely obsessed with the college apps process as i was and two u have access to google.....it’s right there
but in seriousness, why waste your time on a generic question that can be easily found out and isn’t specific to the school you’re visiting ?? the purpose of the tour is to learn about one school not the application terminology. it amazed me how many different people i heard ask this
in case if u don’t know what the difference is i’m gonna tell u right here cause im feeling nice !
early decision - this is binding folks ! only apply ED if ur sure that your school is ur number one choice and you can’t picture yourself anywhere else and you’ll die if you dont go here. also u need to be able to afford it. the only way u can be let go of ur agreement is if the financial aid offered to you is too low (like way too low) and the cost will prevent you from attending college that’s it ! you can’t change ur mind b/c you think you like somewhere else better or somewhere else gave u larger scholarship. additionally, you submit your application (often november) earlier and find out about ur admissions status earlier (often december). note: some schools have ED II which basically is still ED, but you submit ur application at the same time as regular decision and you hear back earlier (normally february) 
early action - non-binding ! apply to as many schools EA if you want. like ED, the application process is completed earlier and you are notified of ur status earlier too. unlike ED, you are not bound to any EA school and can wait to accept or decline until their deadline (may 1st is the majority for most universities). sometimes, a school’s EA might have a greater acceptance rate due the lower amount of students but the competition might be stronger so keep that in mind ! note: there are some schools w/ restrictive EA meaning you can only apply to that school EA and no others (you are not bound to admissions tho) this is most common in the ivies and generally you won’t come across it much.
what’s the average gpa/sat/act scores or what’s the acceptance rate?
again, why waste ur time on facts that can be easily googled and were most likely presented to you in the information session
this will make you seem uninformed and ill-prepared, which we don’t want. ask the best questions you possibly can !
how did you get in/what did u do in hs/what were ur grades
while i (thank god) never encountered this on a tour, i do know people can be very upfront with asking other studyblrs/appblrs these questions - maybe it’s just due to the anonymous feature on here but sometimes people are quite rude about asking these kind of questions
while i do not think asking someone with a study/appblr what their activities in high school is bad (as we are here to discuss these kind of things), the question “how did you get in to X school” needs to stop getting asked in general b/c guess what - none of us know which little detail of our applications made the admissions officer know you’d be the perfect fit for the school
instead try asking them about their current activities (gives you an insight on how the students are involved) and if they find the academics to be just the right level of challenging 
anything that can be easily found on a school’s website
i know im basically repeating myself but if it can be found on the first few pages under the admissions section online or in any of their info pamphlets, then don’t ask it. it’s a waste of time - you want this tour to allow you to make an informed decision on if you should apply to this school. if you only go to learn stuff that you know is online (even if u dont know it off the top of ur head or haven’t looked it up yet) then what was the point of visiting at all ?
however, if you need more clarification about anything posted online (such as deadlines !) then ask away
is it right for me?
okay you’ve done all your research, visited all the schools on your list. now it’s time to ask are these schools right for me? should i apply here? there isn’t a right or wrong answer only you can determine if you should apply. since this is a bit more difficult to write clear-cut advice for here’s some examples from my personal experience
in case if you haven’t read my previous posts, the only factor i knew that i wanted out of a school was for it to be located in a big city, so all the schools i visited/applied to were in some major cities in the northeast. there was one school that i had high hopes for since it was located in the city but still had a traditional campus (hard factor to find in cities). however, upon traveling to this college, i discovered it’s on the outskirts of the city and a bit too far for my liking (i felt that if i attended i wouldn’t leave and explore the city daily, only on certain occasions if i felt like going out). additionally, i did not like the vibe the admissions officer that hosted the info session gave off. these two things were enough for me to say this is not the school for me, so after the info session my mom and i left and skipped the tour
when it came to the school that i will be attending, i only knew that it was my number one choice because of the campus tour. it was the last school i visited and while i had liked most of the schools i visited, i knew none of them were necessarily the “one” for me. they were all nice but my general reaction was just kind of okay i’ll still apply here onto the next school.... i hate that i can’t give a proper explanation as /why/ it was the right school (i always hated when my tour guides would say they picked their school based on a feeling), but yes i did have that feeling where i knew this was it. i could tell the students values aligned with mine, it was right in the city, it has an A+ study abroad program, strong academics, and more that i can’t put into words. if this doesn’t happen to you, do not be alarmed (tbh im surprised it happened to me) you don’t need to find the one for you to love your school. in fact, not having a dream school might be better b/c you can focus on your options logically and not get stuck on one school
a side note to this is my aunt always thought this one school was her top choice and that she had to go there but when she finally got a chance to visit, she absolutely hated it and later found a university that she loved (she still goes to football games regularly) don’t underestimate the campus tour !
can’t visit a school?
you still have several options to use even if you can’t visit somewhere (or even if u can these are still helpful)
virtual campus tours
youvisit - super neat campus simulation and some schools even have a virtual tour guide
campustours - also includes interactive maps
youtube channels
look for day in life vids, dorm tours, or any other content posted by students at the school + they’re gonna be more honest since it isn’t their job to sell u the school
school’s website/youtube
check the school website/youtube channel and see if they have maps or any kind of virtual tour
wow this was very lengthy so i rly hope this helps everyone ! if you have any other questions please feel free to send me an ask! my next post will cover basics to the common app so check back soon !

Finance Guru Ronnie Moas Digs for $10 Billion in Cryptocurrency Gold
Ronnie Moas is known as a finance guru with a 15-year track record of picking stocks. Later in his career, he ventured into cryptocurrency, claiming himself to be “synonymous with Bitcoin.” That success, however, has taken a turn towards conflict.
Background on Ronnie Moas
Ronnie Moas is the founder of Standpoint Research. The Florida-based company conducts market analysis on securities, bonds, cryptocurrencies, and other assets, and is a one-man operation dependent on Moas, according to a Bitcoin Podcast interview.
According to Moas (via Standpoint Research subscriber emails):
“I am one of the most highly regarded and highest ranking analysts in the financial services industry. I have a top 20 ranking for my performance versus more than 4,700 professionals… and my company was ranked # 5 on Wall Street in 2017.”
He is also a Twitter, TV, and radio influencer, having been featured on dozens of interviews and with a following of over forty-thousand on Twitter. He has a prolific record, having published and distributed over 900 research reports, and issued more than 600 stock recommendations since July of 2003, according to Bloomberg.
Moas goes so far as to claim that his ‘expertise’ extends into the cryptocurrency markets, saying that his name “has become synonymous with Bitcoin,” predicting that it “will hit $28,000 by the end of 2018”
According to Bloomberg’s Executive Profile, Moas began his career on Wall Street as an analyst at Herzog Heine Geduld. Moas was responsible for making sector, industry, and stock recommendations. And, according to the biography, “he demonstrated remarkable accuracy with his market forecasts and stock recommendations.” He left the firm to found Standpoint Research, Inc. in 2004.
Based on statements from Moas and estimates from other sources, Standpoint Research has between 2,500 and 3,000 subscribers. This earns Moas a tidy $1.5 million to $4 million in revenue a year.
Standpoint Sells Stock Picks
Standpoint Research makes money through its subscription service. Subscribers get access to research, stock picks, and information curated by Ronnie Moas. The company uses its proprietary “artificial intelligence overlay applied to a 155-variable computer model” for generating its predictions.
For $599 to $1,119 per year, subscribers get access to Standpoint’s exclusive research. The company asserts that it helps subscribers pick investments “…so that you do not have to do that research on your own.”
Doing Deals with Dignity (DIG)
In July of 2017, Arbitrade, a company which is developing a cryptocurrency exchange and trading software, contacted Moas to conduct an analysis of their company for “internal use,” according to court documents. The report was meant for accredited investors and institutions interested in Arbitrade, said executives from the company.
Arbitrade is the parent company of Cryptobontix, a company which issued a cryptocurrency called Dignity Token, which is important later in the article.
Moas was paid $60,000 and 2 million DIG tokens, for a total in $100,000 in compensation for his report. He provided the company with a 122-page report on September of 2017, with 34 pages of that pertaining directly to DIG, based on statements from Moas and the court case.
Background on Dignity Token (DIG)
Dignity is a cryptocurrency which claims that each of its tokens is backed by $1.00 in gold. Cryptobontix, the company spearheading the project, had previously stated in its retracted white paper that it plans to pay for the gold using profits from mining farms.
The company was later acquired or merged with Arbitrade at an unspecified date. Arbitrade is a company which is “leveraging proven financial technology” that “combines a financial matching engine… and smart contracts to enable market participants and institutions to buy and sell regulated security tokens.”
The cryptocurrency Dignity was largely traded on Livecoin, a small cryptocurrency exchange that claims to be based in London.
Arbitrade also features an impressive management board, with all officers listing over 30 years experience at companies such as PepsiCo, Citibank, Uniqlo, Toys ‘R’ Us, and Taco Bell.
CryptoSlate reached out to over 10 of the members listed on Arbitrade’s website over the last five days to confirm their involvement with Arbitrade. Only one, Steve Braverman, responded with the following comment:
“I will speak with our attorney and get back to you.”
Braverman did not provide any further comments.
Digging for Billions in Gold
The first iteration of the Cryptobontix white paper claims that the profits from cryptocurrency would pay to purchase the billions needed in its gold reserves.
Miraculously, the company was able to pay for these gold reserves out of pocket. The company claims to have purchased over 395,000 kg of gold, worth roughly $16 billion at current prices.
The amount of gold is equal to roughly one-eleventh the amount of gold held in Fort Knox, a United States army fortress which once held a large portion of the country’s gold bullion when the country still used the gold standard. Today, it still holds an outlandish amount of gold.
And, in the ultimate display of legitimacy, Arbitrade purchased Nelson Mandela’s solid gold hands for an additional $10 million. Despite the strong messaging, some members of the community have warned that Arbitrade is a scam.
Ronnie Moas Catches the Gold Rush
On Sep. 18th, 2017, a small group of Standpoint’s paid subscribers were given the recommendation to purchase DIG, along with his report on UNY (the former ticker for DIG). Court filings and testimonies from several of his subscribers confirm this.
A few months later, on Feb. 8th, 2018, Moas allegedly sent a blast out to his entire subscriber base with the recommendation to buy DIG. In an interview on the Bitcoin Podcast, he describes it as an “impulsive reaction” and stated that a huge move in the coin’s price motivated him to share the report:
“The reason I released the paper, the catalyst… was seeing it move eleven hundred percent in one day, and I felt that it was an insider buy and I decided within a few minutes to jump on it.”
After February, Moas would publicly describe Dignity Tokens (DIG) as his “best idea in 20 years,” both on Twitter, and in his email letters:
Maybe my best idea in 20 years already up 300% in four weeks. I think it is getting ready to #rockandroll I see another 500% upside in the next 30-60 days … stay away from the snakes https://t.co/JlWsPzNzDp … #ACDC #blockchain $btc #crypto #cryptocurrency #bitcoin #Ethereum
— Ronnie Moas (@RonnieMoas) March 5, 2018
Florida Gold Frenzy
In June of 2018, Moas allegedly notified his subscribers that he visited an Arbitrade location and was “blown away” by the premises and operations of the facility. He also assured buyers that “every day that goes by, my confidence level in [Arbitrade’s] operation increases, and the amount of risk I see decreases,” according to redacted tweets in the court filings.
Ronnie Moas then continued to boast the merits of the Dignity Token, assuring buyers that the coin is completely and totally legitimate:
And saying that that it couldn’t be a scam, because scams are too expensive to pull off at this scale:
Moas continued to purchase DIG throughout 2018, stating in his interview that he had purchased 440,000 DIG as late as Nov. 27th, worth roughly $8,000 at the time. Over hundreds of Tweets and emails, Moas would routinely set price targets of $0.40 by the end of 2018. Meanwhile, the value of DIG eroded from $0.28 in May to less than $0.01 over the year—an over 95 percent decrease.
Flip the Script
From Dec. 16th until two weeks ago, Moas still “thought that this [Arbitrade] was legitimate.” From mid-November, Moas completely reversed his opinion about DIG, calling the cryptocurrency and the project a scam. He then proceeded to call the founders of Arbitrade fraudsters and crooks and berated them on a near-daily basis over social media.
Eventually, Moas’ accusations allegedly reached a fever pitch, posting the addresses, phone numbers, license plates, and other identifying information for the executives behind Arbitrade. He went so far as to encourage his subscribers to physically threaten the executives over email, according to the court documents.
Unfortunately, CryptoSlate is unable to list the tweets in total because they were deleted from Ronnie Moas’ account on Jan. 8th. That said, some of the accusations are listed, in hard copy, in the court filings.
The threats and accusations publicly listed by Moas culminate in a formal legal complaint from Arbitrade’s executives for libel, cyberstalking, and tortious interference, among other charges. Additionally, the documents list hundreds of incriminating emails, tweets, and correspondence with Moas, with the three executives attesting to the legitimacy of the content under penalty of perjury.
According to the filing, Moas tweeted 394 threatening tweets towards Arbitrade, 34 of which included personal information or directly tagged them on Twitter. The company issued a cease and desist, but that only caused Moas to double down.
Moas becomes despondent, with some of the messages emphasizing this:
“I have a very hot temper and I am very impulsive… emotional and sensitive and I will if I believe in something I will fight until the death for it… if a man does not have a cause worth fighting for his life is not worth living… and I will fight to the death for my subscribers and the reputation that you have destroyed in the last few months with your bullshit.”
And, at his lowest, he even talks about contemplating suicide:
“In fact, the thought of ending my own life crossed my mind several times already today, but that would be a victory for you. I just took anti-anxiety medicine for the third time this weekend you filthy scumbags. God sees everything, and you will get what is coming to you.”
Is Ronnie Moas the Victim?
Based on testimony from Moas’ paid subscribers and evidence from the court proceedings, the finance professional allegedly never disclosed his payments from Arbitrade or his personal holdings and investment in Dignity Token.
Thomas McLoughlin, the CEO of Blockstake and former banking analyst, reaffirms this in correspondence with CryptoSlate:
“In neither Ronnie’s buy recommendation to his paying subscribers in November of 2017, nor his subsequent follow-ups was this compensation mentioned. In fact, this conflict of interest was only disclosed after the company publicly brought forth these facts.”
Not only that, many of Moas’ subscribers allegedly warned him of the red flags surrounding Arbitrade, including McLoughlin:
“After being asked by a third-party to run diligence on Dignity, a number of red flags surfaced… checkered past of numerous key executives, unsustainable business model… deadlines continually missed or ignored, and most importantly any lack of concrete evidence to Arbitrade’s gold or mining operation. In addition, Dignity token was and is traded only on a small exchange called Livecoin and had severe technical disruptions throughout the course of the year.”
In response to McLoughlin’s concerns, Moas had this to say:
“You are making a complete fool of yourself. I will not waste my time on this garbage message. My subscribers know EXACTLY [sic] what is going on.”
When asked about the warning signs around Dignity on the Bitcoin Podcast, Moas said the following:
“I haven’t done background checks on anyone in 20 years. I don’t have time to do that. My subscribers expect a name from me every week.”
His defense: they were “charming people,” and he had no idea that any of this was happening. For the remainder of the interview, Ronnie Moas asserts he was the victim, that he was duped, and that he was, and still is, innocent.
Even though Moas wrote a 122-page report on the company, and was supposedly paid $100,000 to investigate the merits of Arbitrade—apparently he “doesn’t have the time” to do background checks, according to commentary in the Bitcoin Podcast interview.
Finally, when asked if his involvement could be construed as a “pump and dump” on the Bitcoin Podcast, he had the following eloquent statement:
“Now go fuck yourself,” and left the interview.
Subscribers Outraged
As Ronnie Moas turned sour towards Arbitrade, his subscribers turned furious. Many were angry that they were shilled DIG. There are dozens of people who have called him a fraud because of his behavior. Some of these people lost tens of thousands following his recommendation.
$DIG is not a scam.
Ronnie Moas is a liar and a fraud.@ArbitradeX who owns $DIG, just filed an injunction and lawsuit today because of it.
Do some homework. Happy to provide all 10 pages. pic.twitter.com/UpTRQTjJcd
— Brandon William (@azbill_brandon) January 3, 2019
Despite Moas’ allegations, there are still many who assert that Arbitrade is legitimate on Twitter.
Michael Kelly, who claims to be one of Moas’ paid subscribers, made the following testimony to CryptoSlate:
“He is quite honestly the most unprofessional and odious man I’ve ever had the displeasure to come across, a pathological liar who refuses to admit his wrongdoing, instead blaming Arbitrade for all this after his extortion attempts fell flat. I never acted on a single one of his tips, that’s the level of his service. I guess I should be thankful for that.”
Legal Battle Intensifies
The civil case (search Moas, Ronnie), James Goldberg et. al. vs Ronnie Moas has intensified over the last few days. After repeated accusations of “criminal intent,” the courts have granted several emergency motions to determine potential criminality:
According to new documents filed on Jan. 8th, James Goldberg et. al. alleges that Ronnie Moas has repeatedly violated the court’s orders, and that Goldberg was in “fear of physical harm for himself and his family,” and filed a formal complaint listing Moas’ violations over Twitter and email after furnishing Moas a cease and desist complaint.
Meanwhile, one of Moas’ subscribers claims that he sent out the following email today:
Summary
Ronnie Moas claims to be a “highly regarded and highest ranking analysts in the financial services industry, someone whose name is ‘synonymous with Bitcoin.’”
Moas received a large sum of money to write a report on a company. He then allegedly leaked this report to his subscribers—without providing disclosure of his conflict of interest or his stake in Dignity Token.
Then, Moas proceeded to promote the project for over a year. Suddenly, he changed the narrative and called the project an outright scam. His subscribers and those who follow him on social media have lost tens of thousands of dollars as a result of his recommendations.
In Moas’ words, he’s the victim. When asked why concerns over DIG did not surface during the 122-page report he wrote for Arbitrade, his explanation was that “he doesn’t do background checks.”
Moas then allegedly proceeded to threaten and harass Arbitrade’s executives to the point where they fear physical harm to themselves and their families. Moas then told his subscribers that the reason for his absence is because of medical complications.
“Standpoint Research service will NOT be compromised in any way,” Moas allegedly said in his email to subscribers today. CryptoSlate will continue to follow the story and release updates as the civil lawsuit unfolds and as more information becomes available on Arbitrade.

Why do we need car insurance or why is it required?
I've been driving for about 3 years now, and I honestly cannot help but ask why are we paying $100 per month or more on car insurance, and some of us don't even get into accident at all? I mean that is like money out the door. My current premium is $625 per 6 month and it is a pain to pay it off.

Health Insurance - 31 days after Birth?

Estimate on how much my car insurance will be?
I'm financing a new (or relatively new) car pretty soon, it's probably going to be a Nissan Altima which is a very safe car and is probably going to be either brand new or no more than 1 - 3 years old. I'm just worried about how much I'm going to be paying for full coverage insurance because I haven't had a car in a couple years thus I haven't had car insurance in a while and when I did, it was only no-fault insurance. Also, I'm young (22) so that will make my insurance high. However, I have a spotless driving record so that should help. I also live in a safe county if that matters. Anyone have a ball-park figure on how much I can expect to be paying, monthly? Thanks.""

How much will my car insurance go up?
Two weeks ago I rear ended a Ford F150. There was very little damage done to their truck, but my mazda protoge was declared totaled.

I was not arrested or anything at this scene but I did get a ticket for careless driving by failing to yield. I am a 25 year old male btw and I was on my mom's insurance driving her car.

""Female 19 year-old-, non-owner, occasional driver, Florida. Insurance premium increase?""
Okay, here are the details: My sister (who is 5 years older than me) got her first car 6 years ago at the age of 18. She didn't get her license until AFTER she bought the car. It was a '94 Blazer SUV. My parents' insurance went up about $800/year when she and the car were added. Then, she got married in 2002 and was removed from my parents' policy. Not much has changed since then; they are still paying pretty much the same premiums. So, since I also decided to wait until I was at least 18 to get my license due to the increase of insurance premiums, last fall I started inquiring with my parents' agent about how much it would be for me to be added. I turned 19 in December 2007, and was quite sure it would be less for me to be added considering I am a year older than my sister was when she got her license, and I do not own a car of my own.

Car Insurance quote question?
When I try and get a quote for some cars on either Tesco or Direct line, it tells me they cant give me a quote online and il need to ring them. Also, the browser wont let me go back, so they make you close the window and type out another quote all over again! Why do they do this? The car I want to insure is a Nissan Navara D22. I am guessing that its because its a commercial vehicle and they want to check if il be using it for commercial use. I am 18 and have had my licence for a year, and I will be the named driver on the policy, my dad being the main driver who has over 30 years NCB! I managed to get a quote for a new Navara, not the D22 version and that was about 1990. How much do you think the D22 will be?

Interviews with Entrepreneurs - Aneil Manhas
Tell me a bit about yourself, and your professional background.
So, I started my career in finance. I went to undergraduate business school at Richard Ivy, which is based out of Western [Uni]. Then, I basically started my career in finance. I started with Credit Suisse, working in Los Angeles with the investment banking division. From that point, I moved into private equity for a company in Toronto called Onyx. I was there for five years. After that, I made the entrepreneurial jump into what I do now, which is own and manage, to a varying degree, a number of different businesses.
What kind of services and products do you offer?
“So they’re diversified in the sense that they are four companies/projects that I am working on. One is GVA Brands, which is a manufacturer and distributors of powersport products in Canada. We have about 120 dealers across the country. That business is mostly focused on selling kids powersports products. By that, I mean kids ATVs, kids scooters, kids bikes, generators - generally just outdoor powersports and industrial products that you would see at a campsite or in the backyard, the farm. That business is Canadian only - we don’t sell anything to the US or anywhere abroad, and it’s solely dealer based in the sense that we don’t sell anything directly to the consumer.
So do you sell based on individual stores or one retailer?
Right, so it’s all done based on individual stores. At one point, we were dealing with some bix-box retailers, mostly CostCo and Walmart. But that business can be tough. The big challenge with dealing with those big box retailers when working with a product like mine is that - it is low margin to begin with - a lot of the sales through those stores are done through sales, such as big promo done during a long weekend or discount. And those kinds of sales would be where 80% of the volume moves. And what often happens is that you’ll go somewhat dry for a month then run a promo for a weekend. And then you’ll do more during that weekend than you did in in 6 weeks. (Overall, it doesn’t pan out.) You’re selling at a discount, and the margins are very slim. But the bigger issue is that a lot of these big box retailers, CostCo in particular, have very lenient return policies. However, from a vendor’s perspective, specifically when you’re selling somewhat of a seasonal product like an ATV or a generator, unfortunately what was happening was that we’d sell a bunch of them through the summer months but then in September or October, a lot of the products were coming back. So just from a financial perspective, given the low margin [of profit] and the returns, that business model just didn’t work for us.
That’s cool. I guess now, it’s more individual relations with each store or distributor as opposed to signing on the big client like Walmart
Exactly. So now, it’s just a 100 or so single dealer/single operation sports store. That’s the bulk of that business.
The next business would be Rosso Motors, which is an online seller of kids toys. It actually started as part of GVA. Just given that GVA was restricted to our dealer network, one thing I was trying to do was add an online component to the business as a growth engine. My firm belief is that, in this day and age, doesn’t matter what you’re selling - powersports products, soap, makeup, whatever - the online sales platform is where all the money and growth is. A lot of the traditional bix box or brick and mortar stores are facing a lot of challenges because they’re having to compete against all of the online focused retailers. And for me, to add that online component to GVA was important. Secondly, I wanted to develop a product that I could sell and distribute to the US, given that the population and market there is almost ten times our size.
It’s almost like you’re creating a middleman yourself by dealing with these dealers and stores, so now you can go straight from manufacturers to consumer.
Correct, that is definitely an appeal. What often happens is that how these online retailers can grow and scale so quickly is by offering prices that are so appealing, in the sense that a lot of the margin that is taken by the dealer or distributor in physical distribution business models are shared to the customer. What happens is that the customer is now getting access to products at a significantly cheaper price that if they walked into a local store. Secondly, you are able to scale at a pace that has never been done before. Before the online sales really took off, if you wanted to go and build a company that was $100M in revenue, the process was that you started a store, and the success from that one location is invested into the second. That would grow organically, increasing revenue and customer bases in a slow, steady growth. You’d start a company somewhere like in Vancouver and target the local community, and then grow adjacent slowly in your own area. However, with the internet, you can target a much larger market and now you’re looking at like 350 million people who are now your new potential customer base. This has allowed businesses to scale at a degree that was unprecedented. I’m a firm believer that the future of commerce is really in that online platform. 
That’s pretty much how Rosso started. We started with one product - our main GVA product which was a kid’s pocket bike - that we could ship to the US. Since most of the GVA products are gas powered, there are a lot of regulations around the EPA which precludes us from selling to the States. Secondly, the products were larger - often ATVs and dirtbikes - which made shipping just not feasible from a pricing perspective. This pocket bike was electric, so we began shipping down, selling on the Amazon marketplace. Now, we have around 7 or 8 products. Online, we have our own website where we operate from, but the majority of sales continue to come from Amazon. We’ve expanded outside of the kids electric toys, now having a Rosso water division, sports mats. Still kids focused and toy like, but we’re not sticking to purely electric.
The third company is a company of Surface 604, which is a manufacturer and distributor of electric bikes. Unlike GVA [which is strictly dealer based] or Rosso [which operates only through online channels], this is a hybrid company. We have about 120 dealers spread across Canada and the US, but we also have an online presence where we can also sell our products. Right now, the majority of sales continue to occur through our physical sales but the online component is continuously growing.
The final company I deal with is a startup, pre-revenue stage. It’s gonna be a subscription based electric toothbrush business. I don’t know if you’ve heard of the Dollar Shave Club or Harry’s, and what they’ve done in the razor space. My initial intrigue there was the subscription based business model. It led me to think about what kind of products I could apply that same business model to. That’s what I was passionate about. It is an untapped market - and a huge one too. If you look at razors, you’re targeting every male. But with toothbrushes, we’re looking at every single person potentially.
The common theme with all of these businesses is the fact that I manufacture these products in China. I have a full time team that manages the businesses and processes in China, from the quality control to logistics. When I have new ideas, I have these proper channels in find and select the logical factory to partner with. These existing channels make a huge impact in the feasibility of our products.
What was your mission when you set out on this path? What were you trying to achieve?
That’s a good question. There wasn’t a specific goal in mind when I got started, but what sparked the switch to going down the typical finance, work-for-a-company route to doing something completely on my own was that to me, everyone has different things that excite and motivate them. For me, that was building and developing a whole business. I look at big organizations like Nike or Coca Cola or Dollar Shave Club, and all of them started with an idea. And to think that they went from an initial idea to being billion dollar corporations that are global, that journey is fascinating to me. As both an entrepreneur and a business, that journey and process is what keeps me excited.
So in other words, to see and build off your own ideas?
Yeah! I’m at a very early stage with this toothbrush company - I’m going from an idea to a product. I’m barely moving down the field from where I want it to go. But even then, just seeing that first step keeps you hungry to keep going and see ideas through.
What are your company’s values? What were you thinking of when you started these endeavours?
I wouldn’t say that I was thinking of this when i started these four businesses, but if you ask me now, what do I think is the key component here? Well, if you look at some of the companies today that have been able to achieve a tremendous amount of success in a short period of time, to me, the common trait between all of them is that they all solve real world problems. What does that mean? Let’s look at Dollar Shave Club, for example. Every guy can relate to how miserable the whole process of buying razors is. In Canada, [you can just pick up the razors from the shelves] - the [Gillette] Mach-3 refillables or whatever. It’s easy! But in the US, they are actually locked up. So you have to go and find somebody in the store that has the keys to unlock this, and they’re so expensive. What, 8 heads for $40? Every time I buy these razors, that’s the first concern that comes up. Everyone can relate to that, and this is the problem that Dollar Shave Club is trying to solve. To me, a lot of the good ideas, they solve real world problems exactly like that. Uber is another example. Who wouldn’t want to replace a taxi with a ride or car sharing service that charges you a fraction of the price? You’re solving a real world problem there. There’s a lot of appeal to that. I think a lot of the best ideas are born out of such problem solving, and for me now, that is the main focus when it comes to evaluating a new project or new business. Obviously, there are the typical business school aspects that you look at, right? The value proposition, the price, what the competition looks like - all the standard stuff you learn in business school. To me, the first thing I ask myself is what problem am I solving here? And if I can identify a real world problem that I am trying to solve and I can make someone’s life easier, that’s kind of the first step. Then I proceed to doing the other forms of due diligence.
What are your goals for your company? What would you like to see your business achieve and influence in the future whether it be through outreach, partnership, expansion?
Obviously, for any entrepreneur, you are always trying to grow your business. I would say that given that the businesses that I have are in very different stages of their life cycles, my goals definitely differ for each business. Take GVA for example - the powersports business. As I mentioned, that business is now more stagnant in terms of a lot of the dealers that we’re doing business with. There’s not a lot of growth in terms of adding more dealers or adding new products. So, how do you keep that revenue base growing and moving forward? I mean, the toothbrush business is pre-revenue, so my goal there is to just get that up there and running! That’s the first step. So I would say that depending on where the businesses are depending in their life cycles, the goals differ, but they all are based around growth.
What do you strive for when you start a business?
That’s a good question. I think what I’m trying to achieve is what I’ve already discussed a bit in terms of solving a problem. To me, if I take the toothbrush business, for an example, a high end Philips Sonicare toothbrush costs around $250 or something - north of $200! Whether you’re buying Oral B or Sonicare, they dominate that industry. That’s a lot of money. So for me, with my business model, the goal of that project is to be able to offer the consumer a product that may not be at the high end Philips level but still a high-end electric toothbrush model at a fraction of that price. I’m still figuring out pricing - it’ll be under a hundred bucks.
So in a sense, making that level of quality product more accessible? That’s the important part, right?
Yeah! Exactly. It’s kind of what we’ve talked about in the past, real world issues. It’s about trying to take that problem and making one that is more accessible. For the vast majority of people, $250 is not what they’ve budgeted for their toothbrushes. But for me - as I’ve mentioned, I’m still figuring out pricing - $80 is a quarter of the price and still pretty expensive, but it is definitely more accessible.
Who's your target client? Who are you aiming for?
That varies based on the business. For Surface 604, the target scope is two-pronged. We’re dealing with dealers and consumers. But if I look at the fact that these dealers, even though they’re our customers, are selling to our end consumers, who tend to be a lot more baby boomers. For the powersports business, it’s obviously based around parents. They’re often purchased as gifts, whether for birthdays or holiday seasons. The three weeks leading up to Christmas time is our busiest season by far. Definitely, that targets families there.
How do you network in your industry? How do you meet your contacts and expand your industry base?
I think that within an industry, you just naturally build your contact list by doing day-to-day things that you would do regardless of whether you’re trying to network or not. You know, attend trade shows, talk to other people in the industry whether it be on the manufacturing side or the sales side. [You should] really just interact with as many people in the industry as possible. I would say that is kind of on the company side. When you are an entrepreneur, what’s very important is to have very strong, professional relationships. Have a good lawyer, have a good accountant, have a good banker - those relationships are very important. I think networking on that side is also something that can help. Being strategic as your grow.
Who would you like to work with, partner or collaborate with in the future? Whether this is a company or cause or foundation?
I think that, if I look at the businesses, the first one that comes to mind would be Surface604. A couple of groups that have bought our electric bikes recently have been police departments. The Marquette Police Department did a test run with our bikes, and most recently, the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) bought a bunch. Given the use case for electric bikes, a fit with the police department, whether it be in beach patrol or wherever else, I can see the value in a bike that can travel at over 20 miles an hour. There can be a lot of benefit in having the ability to move at that speed versus a traditional bicycle where you’re stuck to just pedaling.
So you enjoy seeing your products slowly moving outside of the typical household setting to other real world settings.
Exactly! So to partner with some of these larger groups where they can get a tremendous amount of benefit. Another example is that we sold a bunch of our electric bikes to a fellow who owned 8 Domino’s Pizza franchises. So in a delivery service, especially in the downtown Vancouver area where traffic becomes a growing concern, that’s where the ability to go 20 miles an hour can make a lot of sense. With electric bikes and the accommodating road structures such as bike lanes, you can move with ease as opposed to being in a car. I think that the challenge there ultimately will be is how the legislation will affect riding electric bikes in those bike lanes. When you really look at it, electric biking in North America is at its infancy. When you look at Europe, whether it be Germany or Netherlands, you’re looking at one in four bikes sold being electric. In North America, less than 1% are electric - it’s a fraction. The industry here is growing but very much in its infancy. As it grows and becomes more popular, so will the legislation and the rules around it. A lot more people in Europe use bikes as a mode of transportation whereas here, it’s mostly recreation. Continued use would change the culture over time.
Given your long career and your time in the industry, what would you say are some keys to success for an entrepreneur starting out in the field?
I think that it is primarily in the idea itself. As we’ve talked about a number of times, the ideas that tend to be very successful are the ones that solve problems and are very applicable. I think that no matter how hard you work or how good of a team you may have or any of these other things you need to be successful, if the underlying idea is flawed, you’re dead from the get-go. Secondly, I think having the right team is critical. With a lot of startups and growing companies, you don’t have that team from day 1. But to grow and to become successful, a lot of entrepreneurs look at like they are building a team just as much as they are building an organization. As that team falls into place, so will the growth and the other benefits. For me, something I look at and pay a lot of attention to is scalability. I think that it is very important to identify and focus on opportunities that are scalable. At the end of the day, a lot of people work hard - the hard work tends to be a common trait when it comes to running your own business and see it be successful. But that ceiling for success is capped if that idea is limited in terms of scalability. When you look at that person who, tens years down the road, has the business that is large and successful, a lot of the time, that success is predicated on how scalable that idea and scope is. I think that if you talk to any entrepreneur, they’ll tell you that you can have the right product, work hard, do a lot of the right things and - for better or for worse - timing and luck can play a pretty big role in your success. You have to work hard and put yourself in a position to benefit from that timing and luck. Ultimately, that will dictate your success to some level.
How do you measure your own success? What makes this worth doing for you? What made you want to make this switch from your stable job in finance to going out on your own?
For me, I like being in control of my own destiny and ultimately being fully involved in my projects. I’m a firm believer in my team, and I’ve always had a solid group of guys working with me on these projects. Like any entrepreneurs, you put your whole heart and soul into this. I spend more time with these guys than I do with anyone else, whether it be my girlfriend or my dog or even my family. They really are a close, tight-knit bunch. The whole process of building these businesses up with this group of people is very motivating for me.
As an entrepreneur but also as a person, how have you seen yourself grow over the years?
I would say that I am much more selective on projects and things that I look at and dedicate my time to. As the saying goes, time is money. You only have so much time and as you get involved in more things, that time shrinks in a hurry. I’m not in a position where I can be wasting a lot of time, so I’m very selective when it comes to new projects or ideas or whatnot that I’m evaluating, being much more selective than when I first started. Now, I have a good sense of exactly the direction that I want to take things and the projects that I want to be involved in. I live within that bubble and if it doesn’t fit within that scope, I probably won’t be putting in too much time into them.
Less projects to look through, but more stronger investments, is that right?
Yes. That’s accurate in the sense that I’m a bit unique in the fact that I have a bunch of projects happening simultaneously. Most entrepreneurs are traditionally focused on one idea and spend all of their time and energy working on growing that one idea. To start a business and grow it continuously forward is kind of all-encompassing - it takes a lot of time, effort, energy, resources and human capital to drive those projects forward. I’m lucky to have great project managers to be on top of these separate companies to help me juggle these different ventures. Yet, it’s still very challenging. There’s no question that if I spent all of my time on one project, that company would be further along that me focusing on these four together. I have goals and objectives, and I see a growth path for all of my companies. They align with my goals and values, and this drives me.
What are your responsibilities as the business owner? What changes when working with a team versus working with your own team and chasing your own dream and idea?
I think the difference there is that I view my job and my role as making sure that my team has all the resources to be successful. First and foremost, you’re providing the direction. We’re at point A, and this is what point B looks like. Here are a clear set of objectives to get there. Next is to make sure that the team has all the resources and tools that they need to accomplish and get to point B.
Given the type of business you own where you have multiple products that you create, manufacture, and distribute, how would you summarize your strategy for realizing an idea from a thought for a solution that the world needs to an actual product that you can launch?
I think that for the existing business or the electric bike business, a lot of that feedback and research and development around launching new products is based off feedback that we’d received from our dealers and the market. We take this information and see if we can deliver a product that meets the demand for this particular notion that is not being served right now. I would say that for the existing businesses, a lot of that is in conjunction with our dealer network. For a startup, you have the idea in and of itself. For the toothbrush, it was to develop a high-end electric toothbrush that could be presented at a price point that was lower than the regular, dominant competitors.Then it turned to whether or not I can actually make the product, whether I can achieve this level of quality but also pricing. Once that’s complete, the next step is whether I can actually deliver this. Let’s say I can deliver this product, but what do production times look like? It’s great that I can make a product in demand, but if the lead time is looking at 12 months, that’s going to be a real challenge looking back at the scalability of this endeavour. The first step is having the idea, and then how you can feasibly deliver this.

Car insurance claim Question?
Okay, so here is the story. i was in a private McDonald's car park when the was car meet event, nothing official boy racers if your wish, the car parks were full to the brim with cars parked all over the place, with hardly any lighting at 10 o clock as night, visibility wasn't at its best. i was stuck in a Que of traffic trying to get out of the car park, when the car in front started reversing for what ever reason, so i put my car into reverse, had a glance in the rear view mirror which really was no help because of the poor lighting. I let my foot of the brake as the car in front stated reversing an with in milliseconds i herd people shouting, so i stopped and got out, there was a car right behind me must have on been cm away, with a massive dent in the drivers door. although i didn't even feel a thing i quickly apologised and began to sort the problem. i have no clue whether the driver had his lights on or not. i suspected that i couldn't have done it because i had barely moved and there was no damage to my car what so ever. Although this being my first accident i was nerves so took responsibility. We both decided to sort it out between our selves, i didn't want my insurance to go up as it is high enough already as a young driver, he said he would need a new door and i agreed due to the size of the dent, so he found one on eBay for 150 and would take nothing but that as i only had 100 in the bank at the time we drove to the cash machine he took the 100 and we agreed that i would pay him the other 50 in two weeks when i got paid, i writ a receipt to say that i had paid him this money and there was a following 50 to come, with his signature and address phone number ext... two weeks later herd nothing although i kept the money aside for a couple more weeks just in case, but still herd nothing after over a month he texts me asking for the 50 which i no longer have, i explain to him that he has left if for over month and now expects it instantly. Now he says he is going to put in an insurance claim, which i cant no see happening due to 2 reasons 1. he has already tried to sort it him self and failed to because of a fault of his own 2. because he was on a private car park at an illegal car meet Am i right? or is there anything i should do or know about this situation. Thank you.""

The Cheever Files The Cheever Files Adventures of a Senior Thesis.  Secondary blog of @midlife-stoodent.
D-1
Had to jump the count a few days because my Senior thesis is due TODAY.  I had the due date in my planner as Sunday.  
I am nearly finished with it.  I turned in my thesis and subclaims into my prof via email, then when I got started, I used the same and wrote out my own words beneath my subclaims (I changed their type to BOLD to keep them separate).  It worked!  I am able to maintain an outline!  I tend to scatter ideas…
I am not asking for an extension.  I have asked for them all term and I simply need to get this done.  I am 10 pages in, I have three sublaims left to do, and it’s not due until 11:59PM tonight.
THIS WILL HAPPEN.
I work best when dealing with absolute fear.  Don’t follow my example.   #thecheeverfiles#studyblr#studyspo#spring2016#ELNM#seniorthesis 5 notes
D-5
The struggle is very real.  Still receiving instruction from my prof on my thesis.
At least my tense is correct.
BTW, I work better under pressure.  Spending an entire term on a paper has yet to work for me.
LISTENING TO:  Our Lady Peace #thecheeverfiles#studyblr#studyspo#spring2016#ELNM#seniorthesis 3 notes
D-7.  Senior Thesis is due this week. Thankfully I am off of work, so that’s one less thing to worry about.
My digital project is completed (first picture) and that has been uploaded.  I am still (yes, still) working on my thesis and subclaims.  I emailed a correction back to my prof this afternoon, once I hone my thesis she will get to my subclaims.
Tomorrow I have to drop off my paperwork for my Service Learning, and take the TB test.  I don’t know if all of this is going to get done before the end of the term, but that professor has given us an option if we weren’t able to solidify our service learning before the term ended.  
I think 60 coffee pods should last me until the end of the week?  Last term I went through 80 in a week and a half, and this term is way harder.  I may need more… #thecheeverfiles#studyblr#studyspo#spring2016#ELNM#Seniorthesis#starbucks 3 notes
D-15.  Rough Draft final draft, if that makes sense.  I am truly blessed to have an amazing advisor/professor who gave us an extension (read: mercy) to turn it in for our rough draft workshop.  I have until 6AM tomorrow morning to get this uploaded. **weeps with gratefulness**
Did I ever mention the size of my Senior Thesis class?  There’s myself, and two other ladies.  One of the many benefits of attending a small, private university.
I admit, I did the usual “check-out” in the middle of the term, where I was watching You Tube videos instead of writing.  Then today, when the module for Week 8 comes out, we get the admonishment to not check out.  
I am reeling myself back in.

Rough draft time.  Have my most excellent feedback from my professor to help, as well as my own lightbulb moment.  All I need now is the time to get it written.  She did extend the due date for us, which I absolutely love because our drafts go into a workshop for final editing.  
I miscalculated my vacation time from work, it’s next week, and I should have asked for this week, or even the rest of the month off.
Oh well.  It will get done.

D-25.  25 days left to go.
Along with my essay, I also have to complete a digital assignment as part of my grade to add to my portfolio.  Ovid’s Metamorphoses arrived via Amazon Student Prime today.  Yes, Ovid + Cheever=Digital Project.  It’s going to be awesome.
Still trying to raise my thesis from the bowels of hell.  I was going to discuss the agency of the various rooms used in “A Country Husband” but I realized I needed to narrow that focus, so I am doing the agency of living rooms in the text.  Of course, it throws my rough draft right out the window…
I love my Starbucks cup. #thecheeverfiles#studyblr#studyspo#spring2016#ELNM#seniorthesis#metamorphoses#starbucks#seemyfilofax? 7 notes
My First Draft is turned in, a minute past my self-imposed deadline of 5AM. I am so thankful my boss let me leave work two hours early so I could go home, nap, and finish this madness.  I am not good at first drafts…a final copy I can do, but first drafts?  My mind is still a jumble of thoughts and quotes.
After I uploaded my draft, I found an article on John Cheever that said he isn’t taught in schools anymore, if he ever really was.  I find that to be a big old shame because the man is brilliant.  Needless to say, even though I had already turned in my draft, I am now determined to make my paper a testament to his literary greatness.  The man should be taught in schools, students are really missing out.
I am going to sleep the sleep of a student who has been burning the candle at both ends, what with full-time work and three classes to deal with.   #thecheeverfiles#studyblr#studyspo#spring2016#ELNM#seniorthesis 1 note
Literary TheoryLiterary Theory Senior ThesisLiterary TheorySenior Thesis 4/22/16:  Over the course of my academic career (so far, it’s only been what, two years?) I have learned working with a printout of a text is much easier for annotating than with a book.  I have absolutely no shame in destroying a book in the name of essay writing, but there is less guilt with using a printout.  This is my copy of “A Country Husband”, the first and second pages.  Yeah, I use Midori stickers to mark important transitions within the text.
I have also learned to SAVE. MY. NOTES from previous classes.  Last term, I took Literary Theory, and I need to apply a theoretical lens to my thesis.  It is times like these I am glad I am so anal about my notes, as my notebook from Lit Theory is divided by the different theories.  
The rough draft is due next week, already I have the very familiar pangs of self-doubt.  Maybe I am placing too much pressure on myself, but this paper is a reflection of me and my scholarship.  In no way do I want to come off as pedestrian, but that is my largest fear moving forward. #thecheeverfiles#studyblr#studyspo#spring2016#ELNM#seniorthesis 2 notes
Senior Thesis, Week 4:  Way back when I took Literary Analysis (from the same professor) I kept all of the writing “hacks” she gave us.  I printed them all up and tucked them away into a file folder.  Turns out she’s using them for this class as well.  Don’t know if the drawing belongs to her, but it still makes me laugh.  Funny, two years ago when I took Literary Analysis I was very self-conscious of my essay-writing.  Now it doesn’t phase me at all.  
I am reading Cheever’s “Letters”…the man is hilarious, dark and so right-on with his discriptions of humanity.  There’s an entire section entitled “The Suburbs”, from when he moved his family out of the city to upstate NY.  The passage I highlighted tickles me, but I have to wonder:  how often do we look at the belongings of others to remind us of who we are and where we came from?
My schedule for the upcoming week.  My days off are Thursday and Friday, so I begin the fresh week there.  Today (Monday) I register for Summer.  I have to be at work by 230PM and other than continuing my Cheever reading I have my two other classes.  
WRITE EVERY DAY.  
Our rough draft is due next week, so this is our instruction. #thecheeverfiles#studyblr#studyspp#spring2016#ELNM#seniorthesis 7 notes
Got my Prospectus/Annotated Bibliography done, several hours before I was scheduled to turn it in, so that’s over.
This week we will be working on our Digital Project/Digital Presence, so we get a break from writing.  Doesn’t mean the fun stops, I still have two other classes to maintain.  Above is my weekly calendar, I use it as well as my Ardium Academic planner.  My “weekend” is on Thursday/Friday, which is why the dates are wonky.
As for Digital Presence, I really am not worried about it.  I cleaned up my social media when I was accepted to uni because I knew there would be a time where I had to do the exact same thing, so I just wiped a whole bunch of accounts.   #thecheeverfiles#studyblr#studysop#spring2016#ELNM#Seniorthesis 3 notes
Prospectus and Annotated Bibliography Work:
This is the current time.  Not too bad, as I don’t get home from work until after 11PM, but my eyes are getting tired.  I’m indulging in a large mug of black tea, having consumed enough coffee over the course of the day to sink a ship.
I have spent this past week reading and researching.  I carry a book or an article with me at all times, because you never know when you are going to have a moment to catch up on some reading.  I had a few minutes while at the gas station the other day, so I read a few paragraphs.  
You do what you have to do to get it done.  :)
My beat up Writer’s Reference book, a university requirement.  
No, I don’t have to work tomorrow (sarcasm).
I have my annotations completed, but I need to edit them to make sure all of the commas are in the right place.  I am almost finished with the prospectus part.
I did, however, make sure Word was functional on my iPad and the entire project was accessible.  WIN.  Now I can finish this up at work tomorrow.
It’s due at 11:59 Monday night.   #thecheeverfiles#studyblr#studyspo#spring2016#ELNM#seniorthesis 21 notes
Day 2:  Well, technically I am still running on the original post, but in reality we have passed midnight.  Welcome to 2:15AM.
Week 2 is the Prospectus and Annotated Bibliography portion of Senior Thesis.  I took notes of the instructions and WON on three academic sources.  I need 5 total, including the original text.  I could hug my WR 323 instructor right now, because I have become a master of Google Scholar and our library’s online search engine.  
I leave this post with a picture of my stapler.  This little honey has the capacity of stapling 40 pages at once, and for someone who simply cannot read and retain electronically, this has been a great investment.  Oh, and all of the printer ink and paper I stocked up on last term.   #thecheeverfiles#studyblr#studyspo#LIT498#spring2016#ELNM#seniorthesis
Day 1:  Amazon Student Prime and Sunday delivery for the win.  My books came today! I never had a book for “A Country Husband”, all I ever had was a .pdf.  I will say, annotating on a copy is a lot easier than in a book.  So, I printed out another.  
The term just began a week ago, and for that first week we had to turn in an annotated page from two papers we have written during our academic career here at Marylhurst.  “Desireè’s Baby” by Chopin was my other choice, but I was sold on Cheever from the beginning. #thecheeverfiles#studyblr#studyspo#spring2016#LIT498#seniorthesis#ELNM 2 notes A Digital Accounting of my Adventures with my Senior Thesis. @midlife-stoodent here.  I am an English Literature and New Media major, and welcome to my Senior Thesis studyblr.  Check out my main blog for more studyblr goodness.
I decided to chronicle my path of the Senior Thesis to create a digital footprint of the process.  Obviously, my Thesis is on John Cheever, his short story “The Country Husband” to be exact.  I chose Cheever because his stories about the middle class intrigue me.  
So!  Lets get this started!  I will be following the usual #studyblr format. #thecheeverfiles#studyblr#studyspo#spring2016#LIT498#seniorthesis#ELNM 1 note

Finance Guru Ronnie Moas Digs for $10 Billion in Cryptocurrency Gold
Ronnie Moas is known as a finance guru with a 15-year track record of picking stocks. Later in his career, he ventured into cryptocurrency, claiming himself to be “synonymous with Bitcoin.” That success, however, has taken a turn towards conflict.
Background on Ronnie Moas
Ronnie Moas is the founder of Standpoint Research. The Florida-based company conducts market analysis on securities, bonds, cryptocurrencies, and other assets, and is a one-man operation dependent on Moas, according to a Bitcoin Podcast interview.
According to Moas (via Standpoint Research subscriber emails):
“I am one of the most highly regarded and highest ranking analysts in the financial services industry. I have a top 20 ranking for my performance versus more than 4,700 professionals… and my company was ranked # 5 on Wall Street in 2017.”
He is also a Twitter, TV, and radio influencer, having been featured on dozens of interviews and with a following of over forty-thousand on Twitter. He has a prolific record, having published and distributed over 900 research reports, and issued more than 600 stock recommendations since July of 2003, according to Bloomberg.
Moas goes so far as to claim that his ‘expertise’ extends into the cryptocurrency markets, saying that his name “has become synonymous with Bitcoin,” predicting that it “will hit $28,000 by the end of 2018”
According to Bloomberg’s Executive Profile, Moas began his career on Wall Street as an analyst at Herzog Heine Geduld. Moas was responsible for making sector, industry, and stock recommendations. And, according to the biography, “he demonstrated remarkable accuracy with his market forecasts and stock recommendations.” He left the firm to found Standpoint Research, Inc. in 2004.
Based on statements from Moas and estimates from other sources, Standpoint Research has between 2,500 and 3,000 subscribers. This earns Moas a tidy $1.5 million to $4 million in revenue a year.
Standpoint Sells Stock Picks
Standpoint Research makes money through its subscription service. Subscribers get access to research, stock picks, and information curated by Ronnie Moas. The company uses its proprietary “artificial intelligence overlay applied to a 155-variable computer model” for generating its predictions.
For $599 to $1,119 per year, subscribers get access to Standpoint’s exclusive research. The company asserts that it helps subscribers pick investments “…so that you do not have to do that research on your own.”
Doing Deals with Dignity (DIG)
In July of 2017, Arbitrade, a company which is developing a cryptocurrency exchange and trading software, contacted Moas to conduct an analysis of their company for “internal use,” according to court documents. The report was meant for accredited investors and institutions interested in Arbitrade, said executives from the company.
Arbitrade is the parent company of Cryptobontix, a company which issued a cryptocurrency called Dignity Token, which is important later in the article.
Moas was paid $60,000 and 2 million DIG tokens, for a total in $100,000 in compensation for his report. He provided the company with a 122-page report on September of 2017, with 34 pages of that pertaining directly to DIG, based on statements from Moas and the court case.
Background on Dignity Token (DIG)
Dignity is a cryptocurrency which claims that each of its tokens is backed by $1.00 in gold. Cryptobontix, the company spearheading the project, had previously stated in its retracted white paper that it plans to pay for the gold using profits from mining farms.
The company was later acquired or merged with Arbitrade at an unspecified date. Arbitrade is a company which is “leveraging proven financial technology” that “combines a financial matching engine… and smart contracts to enable market participants and institutions to buy and sell regulated security tokens.”
The cryptocurrency Dignity was largely traded on Livecoin, a small cryptocurrency exchange that claims to be based in London.
Arbitrade also features an impressive management board, with all officers listing over 30 years experience at companies such as PepsiCo, Citibank, Uniqlo, Toys ‘R’ Us, and Taco Bell.
CryptoSlate reached out to over 10 of the members listed on Arbitrade’s website over the last five days to confirm their involvement with Arbitrade. Only one, Steve Braverman, responded with the following comment:
“I will speak with our attorney and get back to you.”
Braverman did not provide any further comments.
Digging for Billions in Gold
The first iteration of the Cryptobontix white paper claims that the profits from cryptocurrency would pay to purchase the billions needed in its gold reserves.
Miraculously, the company was able to pay for these gold reserves out of pocket. The company claims to have purchased over 395,000 kg of gold, worth roughly $16 billion at current prices.
The amount of gold is equal to roughly one-eleventh the amount of gold held in Fort Knox, a United States army fortress which once held a large portion of the country’s gold bullion when the country still used the gold standard. Today, it still holds an outlandish amount of gold.
And, in the ultimate display of legitimacy, Arbitrade purchased Nelson Mandela’s solid gold hands for an additional $10 million. Despite the strong messaging, some members of the community have warned that Arbitrade is a scam.
Ronnie Moas Catches the Gold Rush
On Sep. 18th, 2017, a small group of Standpoint’s paid subscribers were given the recommendation to purchase DIG, along with his report on UNY (the former ticker for DIG). Court filings and testimonies from several of his subscribers confirm this.
A few months later, on Feb. 8th, 2018, Moas allegedly sent a blast out to his entire subscriber base with the recommendation to buy DIG. In an interview on the Bitcoin Podcast, he describes it as an “impulsive reaction” and stated that a huge move in the coin’s price motivated him to share the report:
“The reason I released the paper, the catalyst… was seeing it move eleven hundred percent in one day, and I felt that it was an insider buy and I decided within a few minutes to jump on it.”
After February, Moas would publicly describe Dignity Tokens (DIG) as his “best idea in 20 years,” both on Twitter, and in his email letters:
Maybe my best idea in 20 years already up 300% in four weeks. I think it is getting ready to #rockandroll I see another 500% upside in the next 30-60 days … stay away from the snakes https://t.co/JlWsPzNzDp … #ACDC #blockchain $btc #crypto #cryptocurrency #bitcoin #Ethereum

Florida Gold Frenzy
In June of 2018, Moas allegedly notified his subscribers that he visited an Arbitrade location and was “blown away” by the premises and operations of the facility. He also assured buyers that “every day that goes by, my confidence level in [Arbitrade’s] operation increases, and the amount of risk I see decreases,” according to redacted tweets in the court filings.
Ronnie Moas then continued to boast the merits of the Dignity Token, assuring buyers that the coin is completely and totally legitimate:
And saying that that it couldn’t be a scam, because scams are too expensive to pull off at this scale:
Moas continued to purchase DIG throughout 2018, stating in his interview that he had purchased 440,000 DIG as late as Nov. 27th, worth roughly $8,000 at the time. Over hundreds of Tweets and emails, Moas would routinely set price targets of $0.40 by the end of 2018. Meanwhile, the value of DIG eroded from $0.28 in May to less than $0.01 over the year—an over 95 percent decrease.
Flip the Script
From Dec. 16th until two weeks ago, Moas still “thought that this [Arbitrade] was legitimate.” From mid-November, Moas completely reversed his opinion about DIG, calling the cryptocurrency and the project a scam. He then proceeded to call the founders of Arbitrade fraudsters and crooks and berated them on a near-daily basis over social media.
Eventually, Moas’ accusations allegedly reached a fever pitch, posting the addresses, phone numbers, license plates, and other identifying information for the executives behind Arbitrade. He went so far as to encourage his subscribers to physically threaten the executives over email, according to the court documents.
Unfortunately, CryptoSlate is unable to list the tweets in total because they were deleted from Ronnie Moas’ account on Jan. 8th. That said, some of the accusations are listed, in hard copy, in the court filings.
The threats and accusations publicly listed by Moas culminate in a formal legal complaint from Arbitrade’s executives for libel, cyberstalking, and tortious interference, among other charges. Additionally, the documents list hundreds of incriminating emails, tweets, and correspondence with Moas, with the three executives attesting to the legitimacy of the content under penalty of perjury.
According to the filing, Moas tweeted 394 threatening tweets towards Arbitrade, 34 of which included personal information or directly tagged them on Twitter. The company issued a cease and desist, but that only caused Moas to double down.
Moas becomes despondent, with some of the messages emphasizing this:
“I have a very hot temper and I am very impulsive… emotional and sensitive and I will if I believe in something I will fight until the death for it… if a man does not have a cause worth fighting for his life is not worth living… and I will fight to the death for my subscribers and the reputation that you have destroyed in the last few months with your bullshit.”
And, at his lowest, he even talks about contemplating suicide:
“In fact, the thought of ending my own life crossed my mind several times already today, but that would be a victory for you. I just took anti-anxiety medicine for the third time this weekend you filthy scumbags. God sees everything, and you will get what is coming to you.”
Is Ronnie Moas the Victim?
Based on testimony from Moas’ paid subscribers and evidence from the court proceedings, the finance professional allegedly never disclosed his payments from Arbitrade or his personal holdings and investment in Dignity Token.
Thomas McLoughlin, the CEO of Blockstake and former banking analyst, reaffirms this in correspondence with CryptoSlate:
“In neither Ronnie’s buy recommendation to his paying subscribers in November of 2017, nor his subsequent follow-ups was this compensation mentioned. In fact, this conflict of interest was only disclosed after the company publicly brought forth these facts.”
Not only that, many of Moas’ subscribers allegedly warned him of the red flags surrounding Arbitrade, including McLoughlin:
“After being asked by a third-party to run diligence on Dignity, a number of red flags surfaced… checkered past of numerous key executives, unsustainable business model… deadlines continually missed or ignored, and most importantly any lack of concrete evidence to Arbitrade’s gold or mining operation. In addition, Dignity token was and is traded only on a small exchange called Livecoin and had severe technical disruptions throughout the course of the year.”
In response to McLoughlin’s concerns, Moas had this to say:
“You are making a complete fool of yourself. I will not waste my time on this garbage message. My subscribers know EXACTLY [sic] what is going on.”
When asked about the warning signs around Dignity on the Bitcoin Podcast, Moas said the following:
“I haven’t done background checks on anyone in 20 years. I don’t have time to do that. My subscribers expect a name from me every week.”
His defense: they were “charming people,” and he had no idea that any of this was happening. For the remainder of the interview, Ronnie Moas asserts he was the victim, that he was duped, and that he was, and still is, innocent.
Even though Moas wrote a 122-page report on the company, and was supposedly paid $100,000 to investigate the merits of Arbitrade—apparently he “doesn’t have the time” to do background checks, according to commentary in the Bitcoin Podcast interview.
Finally, when asked if his involvement could be construed as a “pump and dump” on the Bitcoin Podcast, he had the following eloquent statement:
“Now go fuck yourself,” and left the interview.
Subscribers Outraged
As Ronnie Moas turned sour towards Arbitrade, his subscribers turned furious. Many were angry that they were shilled DIG. There are dozens of people who have called him a fraud because of his behavior. Some of these people lost tens of thousands following his recommendation.
$DIG is not a scam.
Ronnie Moas is a liar and a fraud.@ArbitradeX who owns $DIG, just filed an injunction and lawsuit today because of it.

— Brandon William (@azbill_brandon) January 3, 2019
Despite Moas’ allegations, there are still many who assert that Arbitrade is legitimate on Twitter.
Michael Kelly, who claims to be one of Moas’ paid subscribers, made the following testimony to CryptoSlate:
“He is quite honestly the most unprofessional and odious man I’ve ever had the displeasure to come across, a pathological liar who refuses to admit his wrongdoing, instead blaming Arbitrade for all this after his extortion attempts fell flat. I never acted on a single one of his tips, that’s the level of his service. I guess I should be thankful for that.”
Legal Battle Intensifies
The civil case (search Moas, Ronnie), James Goldberg et. al. vs Ronnie Moas has intensified over the last few days. After repeated accusations of “criminal intent,” the courts have granted several emergency motions to determine potential criminality:
According to new documents filed on Jan. 8th, James Goldberg et. al. alleges that Ronnie Moas has repeatedly violated the court’s orders, and that Goldberg was in “fear of physical harm for himself and his family,” and filed a formal complaint listing Moas’ violations over Twitter and email after furnishing Moas a cease and desist complaint.
Meanwhile, one of Moas’ subscribers claims that he sent out the following email today:
Summary
Ronnie Moas claims to be a “highly regarded and highest ranking analysts in the financial services industry, someone whose name is ‘synonymous with Bitcoin.’”
Moas received a large sum of money to write a report on a company. He then allegedly leaked this report to his subscribers—without providing disclosure of his conflict of interest or his stake in Dignity Token.
Then, Moas proceeded to promote the project for over a year. Suddenly, he changed the narrative and called the project an outright scam. His subscribers and those who follow him on social media have lost tens of thousands of dollars as a result of his recommendations.
In Moas’ words, he’s the victim. When asked why concerns over DIG did not surface during the 122-page report he wrote for Arbitrade, his explanation was that “he doesn’t do background checks.”
Moas then allegedly proceeded to threaten and harass Arbitrade’s executives to the point where they fear physical harm to themselves and their families. Moas then told his subscribers that the reason for his absence is because of medical complications.
“Standpoint Research service will NOT be compromised in any way,” Moas allegedly said in his email to subscribers today. CryptoSlate will continue to follow the story and release updates as the civil lawsuit unfolds and as more information becomes available on Arbitrade.

Finance Guru Ronnie Moas Digs for $10 Billion in Cryptocurrency Gold
Ronnie Moas is known as a finance guru with a 15-year track record of picking stocks. Later in his career, he ventured into cryptocurrency, claiming himself to be “synonymous with Bitcoin.” That success, however, has taken a turn towards conflict.
Background on Ronnie Moas
Ronnie Moas is the founder of Standpoint Research. The Florida-based company conducts market analysis on securities, bonds, cryptocurrencies, and other assets, and is a one-man operation dependent on Moas, according to a Bitcoin Podcast interview.
According to Moas (via Standpoint Research subscriber emails):
“I am one of the most highly regarded and highest ranking analysts in the financial services industry. I have a top 20 ranking for my performance versus more than 4,700 professionals… and my company was ranked # 5 on Wall Street in 2017.”
He is also a Twitter, TV, and radio influencer, having been featured on dozens of interviews and with a following of over forty-thousand on Twitter. He has a prolific record, having published and distributed over 900 research reports, and issued more than 600 stock recommendations since July of 2003, according to Bloomberg.
Moas goes so far as to claim that his ‘expertise’ extends into the cryptocurrency markets, saying that his name “has become synonymous with Bitcoin,” predicting that it “will hit $28,000 by the end of 2018”
According to Bloomberg’s Executive Profile, Moas began his career on Wall Street as an analyst at Herzog Heine Geduld. Moas was responsible for making sector, industry, and stock recommendations. And, according to the biography, “he demonstrated remarkable accuracy with his market forecasts and stock recommendations.” He left the firm to found Standpoint Research, Inc. in 2004.
Based on statements from Moas and estimates from other sources, Standpoint Research has between 2,500 and 3,000 subscribers. This earns Moas a tidy $1.5 million to $4 million in revenue a year.
Standpoint Sells Stock Picks
Standpoint Research makes money through its subscription service. Subscribers get access to research, stock picks, and information curated by Ronnie Moas. The company uses its proprietary “artificial intelligence overlay applied to a 155-variable computer model” for generating its predictions.
For $599 to $1,119 per year, subscribers get access to Standpoint’s exclusive research. The company asserts that it helps subscribers pick investments “…so that you do not have to do that research on your own.”
Doing Deals with Dignity (DIG)
In July of 2017, Arbitrade, a company which is developing a cryptocurrency exchange and trading software, contacted Moas to conduct an analysis of their company for “internal use,” according to court documents. The report was meant for accredited investors and institutions interested in Arbitrade, said executives from the company.
Arbitrade is the parent company of Cryptobontix, a company which issued a cryptocurrency called Dignity Token, which is important later in the article.
Moas was paid $60,000 and 2 million DIG tokens, for a total in $100,000 in compensation for his report. He provided the company with a 122-page report on September of 2017, with 34 pages of that pertaining directly to DIG, based on statements from Moas and the court case.
Background on Dignity Token (DIG)
Dignity is a cryptocurrency which claims that each of its tokens is backed by $1.00 in gold. Cryptobontix, the company spearheading the project, had previously stated in its retracted white paper that it plans to pay for the gold using profits from mining farms.
The company was later acquired or merged with Arbitrade at an unspecified date. Arbitrade is a company which is “leveraging proven financial technology” that “combines a financial matching engine… and smart contracts to enable market participants and institutions to buy and sell regulated security tokens.”
The cryptocurrency Dignity was largely traded on Livecoin, a small cryptocurrency exchange that claims to be based in London.
Arbitrade also features an impressive management board, with all officers listing over 30 years experience at companies such as PepsiCo, Citibank, Uniqlo, Toys ‘R’ Us, and Taco Bell.
CryptoSlate reached out to over 10 of the members listed on Arbitrade’s website over the last five days to confirm their involvement with Arbitrade. Only one, Steve Braverman, responded with the following comment:
“I will speak with our attorney and get back to you.”
Braverman did not provide any further comments.
Digging for Billions in Gold
The first iteration of the Cryptobontix white paper claims that the profits from cryptocurrency would pay to purchase the billions needed in its gold reserves.
Miraculously, the company was able to pay for these gold reserves out of pocket. The company claims to have purchased over 395,000 kg of gold, worth roughly $16 billion at current prices.
The amount of gold is equal to roughly one-eleventh the amount of gold held in Fort Knox, a United States army fortress which once held a large portion of the country’s gold bullion when the country still used the gold standard. Today, it still holds an outlandish amount of gold.
And, in the ultimate display of legitimacy, Arbitrade purchased Nelson Mandela’s solid gold hands for an additional $10 million. Despite the strong messaging, some members of the community have warned that Arbitrade is a scam.
Ronnie Moas Catches the Gold Rush
On Sep. 18th, 2017, a small group of Standpoint’s paid subscribers were given the recommendation to purchase DIG, along with his report on UNY (the former ticker for DIG). Court filings and testimonies from several of his subscribers confirm this.
A few months later, on Feb. 8th, 2018, Moas allegedly sent a blast out to his entire subscriber base with the recommendation to buy DIG. In an interview on the Bitcoin Podcast, he describes it as an “impulsive reaction” and stated that a huge move in the coin’s price motivated him to share the report:
“The reason I released the paper, the catalyst… was seeing it move eleven hundred percent in one day, and I felt that it was an insider buy and I decided within a few minutes to jump on it.”
After February, Moas would publicly describe Dignity Tokens (DIG) as his “best idea in 20 years,” both on Twitter, and in his email letters:
Maybe my best idea in 20 years already up 300% in four weeks. I think it is getting ready to #rockandroll I see another 500% upside in the next 30-60 days … stay away from the snakes https://t.co/JlWsPzNzDp … #ACDC #blockchain $btc #crypto #cryptocurrency #bitcoin #Ethereum
