THE ROWLINGSTONE WEEKLY REPORT P R EMI UM VE R SI ON
WEEKLY RECAP FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2018 On February 1st 2018 the total crypto market cap fell by over $30 billion USD, a 20% decline in just one day, accelerating the 18% net loss in market cap over the month of January, and causing many to question when we will hit the bottom of the barrel. For those of you new to crypto, we advise you buckle up as there’s more turbulence ahead. We assume the decline over the past 24 hours, and to some extent the past 30 days, has been tied to tether. This week, news resurfaced that Tether and Bitfinex received a subpoena from the U.S Government on December 6th, and while that may seem like old news, recent developments suggest that Tether produced an additional 775 million USDT after the subpoena, with no backing, to manipulate the markets. We suspect that this egregious abuse of trust shook the weak hands that plagued the January markets and catalyzed today’s downward spiral. We expect market decline to continue in the short-term and are hopeful that bitcoin bottoms out no lower than $7000. However, as we mentioned in our previous newsletters, we were expecting significant declines in January followed by a bull market over the coming months, and we still hold that same sentiment. Good news is pouring in from all corners of the globe as institutions and proactive governing bodies are taking measures to prepare themselves for the inevitable blockchain disruption. The Chinese government has begun educating its citizens on crypto safety practices, and there is word that the Chinese government is taking initiatives to shift ICOs into legal compliance. Against the rumors, India’s Minister of Finance has confirmed there will be no ban on crypto in India, and there is reason to believe Russia’s Finance Ministry is taking measures to regulate crypto currencies as well, against the Russian Central banks initial resistance. In the West, the European Commission announced the creation of a “Blockchain Observatory and Forum” in an effort to provide European citizens with a fair exchange and equal opportunities to generate wealth. The public demand for fair and user-friendly exchanges is echoed in the U.S, where the popular stock-trading app “Robinhood” has accumulated an 850,000-person waiting list for its newly developed crypto exchange. All of this is to say that we believe in the rebound of the crypto market and still hold a very bullish outlook on 2018. As the technology improves, the masses become educated, and regulatory measures are placed into effect, the fruits of blockchain seem inevitable. Though our picks from last week took a tumble with the rest of the market, we hold our head high in these beartimes and continually look toward the future. This week we are proud to present to you some very strong players and hope you stay strapped in for the bumpy ride ahead…

SLEEPING GIANT
What is CPChain: CPChain is a new Chinese based distributed infrastructure platform for the next generation of Internet of Things (IoT). CPChain’s goal is to deeply integrate Blockchain technology, encryption computation and enhanced scalability via cloud storage, to enable IoT devices to interact with different data sets over cross-chain applications. CPChain will be the transmission vehicle for comprehensive data acquisition, data sharing, storage, and application use in the IoT industry, allowing vendors and suppliers to monetize real time data on the Blockchain.
Why is this important? Experts estimate that the IoT will consist of about 30 billion objects with a global market value of $7.1 trillion by 2020. These billions of connected devices worldwide will be used in smart homes, medical care, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and transportation. At present, the IoT design is based on a centralized point of access that has major inefficient architectural issues, such as: high deployment costs, isolability, low data utilization, privacy concerns, and data security. CPChain will solve the

“isolated data island” issue and allow the aggregation of big data for Artificial Intelligence (AI) decisionmaking applications and to increase the overall value extracted from data. CPChain will become the “trust” ecosystem that meets large-scale development needs of the IoT, helping reduce costs from a connectivity of devices standpoint, bridge the gap between asymmetric information and improve user privacy and traffic data security. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqGmFynA8Eg
Technical overview: As far as the technical architecture is concerned, CPChain has adopted the core technologies of two parallel-distributed networks: 1) Computing and cloud storage architecture, and 2) Blockchain network. • •
The storage architecture stores user-encrypted data in a distributed hash table (DHT). The Blockchain, which records hash values of this data (unique data ID) and credentials (for integrity and correctness), acts as a control layer that supervises data interaction.
Benefits of this system: The parallel distributed architecture is core to ensuring the stability of data storage and the facilitation of data sharing. Distributed cloud storage removes pressure from the main chain, the parallel architecture separates the data layer from the control layer, and the side chains help with processing and consensus.

Users will be able to interact with CPChain via Decentralized Applications (DApps). DApps provide an interface to the smart contracts on the Blockchain and can be customized. The initial phase of CPChain will use Smart Contracts via Ethereum as its main Blockchain. This will allow their team to speed up system prototyping and application testing. The team will convert tokens to CPChain once main-net goes live in October (1:1 swap).
Token The system will run it’s own native token called CPC, which will characterize digital economic activity on the platform. The value in this token is that activity on the network will use CPC as “gas” for transactions (data or an economic unit), in addition to holding CPC as a symbol of participating in CPChain governance.
Road-Map The product has not been launched yet, but the team has already completed most of their R&D, and the key technologies of distributed data storage and computing and the double-layer hybrid consensus protocol on the main chain have been successfully completed. The team is entering the implementation stage with a goal to launch a beta version of their main-net in October 2018. • • • • •

Why is CPChain worth investing? CPChain has flown under the radar due to their general lack of marketing, private-sale, and direct launch. As with numerous other Chinese projects, marketing, transparency and social media could be improved. The private sale was over-subscribed and messy to get into, however the token distribution was a fast one week turnaround and with listings already on ED and IDEX (listing on other exchanges expected any day now). CPChain are positioning their project to be the next IOTA of China. They have a very good idea, a very experienced team, and they have quickly secured strong partnerships and notable high quality investors in a short period of time. They have yet to release a product but the R&D is done and the Whitepaper is very well written with a detailed write up on infrastructure implementation. Blockchain real-world infrastructure applications have performed well as of late. We expect to see exponential growth once marketing is in place and listings on more exchanges. We also suspect other large investors and partnerships will be announced. The IoT eco-system is huge with billions of transactions happening per second, if CPChain can bridge the gap and monetize this data, it will be very successful.

General introduction The flagship currency of ArabianChain, DubaiCoin (DBIX formerly DBIC) is part of an ambitious project that combines an exchange, a regionally focused marketplace and other blockchain-based features and products. If successful, ArabianChain could stand at the top of a largely untapped and potentially extremely wealthy sector – The Middle Eastern blockchain technology market.

The Technology Originally DBIC, DubaiCoin was changed to DBIX on March 18, 2017 as part of a rebranding process. DBIX is now the “fuel” of ArabianChain and is also used within the associated exchange Palmex, an exchange that “paves way to digitise the region through blockchain-led transformation” in the words of its founder Mohamed Alsehli Messaoudi Walid. Along with this the company has also created Thuraya (interestingly taken from the Arabic word for the constellation of the Pleiades which is a cluster of connected stars) which is the first Arabic smart contracts programming language that they hope will encourage the government and businesses alike to transfer from a paper system over to the blockchain. The project itself was founded in February 2016 and hopes to see all government contracts transfer onto the blockchain by 2020. This company are looking to usher the Arab world into a new age of technology, and the region is ripe with opportunity. A statement taken from Smart Dubai quotes that "Adopting blockchain technology Dubai stands to unlock Dh5.5 billion in savings annually in document processing alone. The project received a private donation of AED3m ($817,000) from Ahmad Abdullah Bugshan, currently the vice president of Saudi Arabian telecoms firm, House of Invention International. Bugshan is also a board member of Arabian Bugshan, a holding company of a major conglomerate located in the Middle East and North Africa. ArabianChain is a P2P, open-source and consensus driven platform, that allows users to enter instructions of their own desired complexity, meaning that the platform can be used for building a wide range of DAPPS and self-executing smart contracts. ArabianChain also offers DBIX holders the opportunity to use and store their currency inside Galaxy Wallet, an open-source, client-side interface.

General introduction BLOCKv Headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, is a platform to create virtual goods on the Blockchain. It is being called “the interface moment for blockchain” and is being compared to what the Browser was to the Internet or what the App Store was for Mobile Applications. So what exactly is BlockV? The BLOCKv platform enables developers to design, create and distribute interactive smart digital objects via an interface protocol overlay on the blockchain – the layer necessary to unleash exponential mainstream adoption. Currently the most common blockchain applications are virtual crypto currencies, and yet the blockchain interface for this asset has yet to mature. BLOCKv provides the plumbing to allow the currency to come alive and interact meaningfully with the end user for the first time, a so-called “experiential currency”. In essence these will be virtual goods that listen to and interact with real-world events. It turns virtual currency into dynamic virtual goods in a new globally scalable business that end-users can interact with, unlocking new revenue opportunities for businesses. The platform has been in development for over two years and has a number of developers already utilizing the platform across several industries.

Digital Asset: vAtoms (Virtual Atoms) are the digital assets that will trade on BLOCKv. Each dynamic vAtom is highly programmable and will combine code with multi-media elements, creating digital goods that form a digital asset for developers, brands, and end users. The ownership of a vAtom is confirmed via a record on any blockchain, making each vAtom unique, verifiable, and tradable. vAtoms are basically a crypto currency with app like qualities that dive into the world of brand loyalty and brand advertising. vAtoms employ fully shaded 3D models, animated artwork, music and video, and can be experienced on any device, including mobile phones, smartTVs, and augmented and virtual reality devices. vAtoms can be acquired from other users, via online interactions, from printed materials and broadcasts, or through being physically present where vAtoms have been "dropped" in the real world. For the first time, anyone can own virtual objects that are unique, verifiable and tradable, and that can exist across different environments. Token: V (Ticker VEE) is an integral part of the BLOCKv open-source development environment and will be the utility token used on the platform. All developers, users, cyclers (miners) all collect and earn V. Any operation on the BLOCKv platform is powered by V and will be required both to fuse the BLOCKv ecosystem together and provide a mechanism for transactions, rewards, and collaborations. Developers are incentivized with V to experiment with revolutionary technology. Creators are rewarded in V whenever anyone uses their innovations. In essence, vAtoms will become a ubiquitous fact of life for most people. If you buy a ticket, collect art, engage in commerce with a major brand, accept rewards, or gift digitally, you will own a vAtom. BLOCKv is the enabler of this experiential currency on blockchains and V is quintessential to BLOCKv. If you want to create vAtoms, use them, or run them, you will need to acquire V.

BLOCKv ushers in the new experiential economy, by creating virtual goods that: •
• • • •
Work across any digital platform, including all major devices and virtual and augmented reality systems, allowing users to experience and sell, trade and redeem them anywhere they have access to the internet. Are ownable, maximizing the value/experience for the owners. Are built on blockchain technology, ensuring authenticity, ownership, and control. Merge the digital and real worlds, allowing users to seamlessly exchange digital goods for physical goods. Are distinguishable and unique on a per object level, which even today’s cryptocurrency tokens are not.
Current plans include Bitcoin, Ethereum, and EOS - but all viable blockchains can be onboarded over time, providing a vital risk mitigation strategy for any serious blockchain project.
The Technology: Under the Hood Cryptocurrencies become not just units of value but units of engagement value as well. Now digital currencies can retain all the advantages of cryptocurrency such as scarcity, ownership, and tradability, but can also take the form of: collectibles, coupons, loyalty programs, gift cards, medical records, and games. Examples: • • • • •
17
Designing user-owned medical records that interact in real-time with biomedical sensors. Transforming points earned in in-app games into value, and exchange it for goods across any digital platform. Driving foot traffic to retail locations with geographically placed vAtoms. Enabling newspaper and magazine publishers to transform their revenue models. Reinventing the concert ticketing experience.

Within the vAtom ecosystem we consider the four different roles, in addition to the BLOCKv organization that provides the initial technology and operates the platform system along with decentralized cyclers. All ecosystem roles use V, the BLOCKv token, to interact with each other and the technology. •
DEVELOPER: BLOCKv will facilitate a developer community where developers can build smart object templates and write code for the behavior and user interface functions, as well as actions and reactors. A publisher might then use that vAtom template and code for its own use cases to publish vAtoms.
•
PUBLISHER: A vAtom publisher is an entity which creates and publishes vAtoms. An example could be a consumer brand company who wants to issue a free sample for a new product as a vAtom that can be distributed to potential customers and redeemed for a real product sample at a point of sale. Publishers will have to pay a fee in V to emit vAtoms and to keep them alive.
•
CYCLER: A cycler (similar to a miner) is a decentralized autonomous entity which provides infrastructure and processing power to run BLOCKv platform functions (reactors, brains, APIs) based on the BLOCKv distributed compute consensus model. For successfully executing vAtom transactions, cyclers receive a specific amount of V.
•
USER: A user is an individual who holds a smart wallet containing vAtoms. A user can view and interact with vAtoms using their smart wallet. A vAtom-enabled smart wallet can be anything from a browser-based web viewer to iPhone or Android mobile apps to SmartTV apps to a 3D virtual reality viewer. Unlike an app on a mobile device, vAtoms can be dropped, bought or sold, transferred or traded with other users.
The BLOCKv : platform is a “complexity reduction” layer for blockchain, making it easy to build and monetize blockchain applications. The developer is shielded from many of the complex tasks, cumbersome processes and learning needed in today’s blockchain developer environments.

Competitors: There are a number of companies that are trying to tackle the digital goods on blockchain objective (Cryptokitties as a recent example). BLOCKv, in contrast to existing players in the space, provides the tools to build these smart virtual goods as they are an open source developer platform with sophisticated SDKs, APIs, and tools that simplify their development and enable massive new revenue generating opportunities for developers and consumers. Most of the current players are already realizing that there are synergies in utilizing the BLOCKv platform to build and market to the world in a quicker, more efficient and scalable manner and are approaching us for partnerships. Additionally, because they have been working on this platform for over two years now, the vAtom capabilities they have built are extraordinary in comparison to what is currently offered in the space. They can be interactive, 3D, change state, listen to real-time events, just to name a few of the coolest features.
Conclusion For many people, the value of a token or cryptocurrency is difficult to grasp due to the lack of a perceivable manifestation, BLOCKv have a great idea and working platform to bridge this gap. They head into 2018 with an exceptional team of some of the most experienced minds in this space. The virtual goods market is becoming more prominent each year and BLOCKv are well established to capitalize on this.
