After all, when IBM's Thomas Watson said ‘computer’, he meant ‘vacuum-tube-powered adding machine that's as big as a house.’ It's fair to say that few people ever wanted one of those, regardless of the size of their desk.
And they consumed much less power. However, it didn’t take long before the limits were reached. Circuits based on individual transistors became too large and too difficult to assemble. There were simply too many components to deal with. To make the circuits even faster, you needed to pack the transistors closer and closer together. If only that could be done…
Moore estimated this effect would taper out by 1975 as you couldn’t fit any more information on the chips. In fact, it kept on going at this rate till around 2012. An example of truly exponential growth (we’ll come back to that crucial term later…). The great collision of microchips and computers created the consumer electronics boom. A boom that’s now the foundation of your everyday life. At the time this boom gave birth to some absolute, long-lasting behemoths. And, if you were an early mover on them, you could have made dynasty-creating, almost hallucinatory wealth. The first Great Tech Collision produced gains that almost sound made up…
Nine-and-a-half MILLION percent gains? I can’t possibly be promising a repeat of that with a straight face, surely? Well, just hear me out a little longer. Because you know what? Yes. Yes, I AM promising at least the potential for those astronomical heights with the three unknown listed investments we’re going to get to a little later. And that kind of potential doesn’t come knocking often. But we are heading for a second ‘Great Collision’. As a recent Fortune article put it, the Blockchain Collision, which is only just occurring right now, ‘holds the potential for unleashing countless new applications and as yet unrealized capabilities that have the potential to transform many things.’ As another forecaster, Don Tapscott, put it to McKinsey.com:
In just a second, I’m going to show you why we’re on the cusp of a Second Great Tech Collision… I’m going to show you why it’s going to send the valuation levels of a clutch of unknown stocks soaring… In fact, these stock performances could match…or even OUTPACE…the very best technology stocks born in the 1960s and 1970s… I’m talking multiples of 50, 100 or even 200 times earnings here. I mean it. The potential gains on the table here only eventuate in the stock market maybe twice in a century. And even then, they only go to the small few who are able to see further ahead than everyone else. I’m not only going to demonstrate why this is the case… …I’m going to showcase three stocks, currently dwelling in obscurity, which I believe are the most likely on the planet right now to experience these kinds of gains. I call these Blockchain Collision Stocks. You almost certainly won’t have heard of them. But trust me: You should make room for them in your portfolio RIGHT NOW, while they are still anonymous. Because they won’t be for much longer… Let me explain by getting to the core of the matter… WHAT EXACTLY IS |
‘As billions more sensors and other devices come online in the emergent Internet of Things to monitor not only people’s personal location and health information but also the status of the buses and trains they ride, the cars they drive, and the household appliances they use, the stakes get a lot higher…’ | ||
If every single second of your day is turned to data…
…is it fair, safe and democratic for that data to get suctioned up by big business?
Without you even having a say?
Most would answer with a resounding ‘NO!’
The problem is, that’s what’s happening.
But this problem is about to be solved.
The solving of this problem is about to fundamentally change the world like the microchip did…in ways you almost certainly can’t imagine.
It’s ALREADY sending a certain type of stock rocketing.
These are the problem solvers.
I call them Blockchain Collision Stocks, for reasons that will become much clearer shortly.
They are the innovators primed to catapult us into an entirely new era.
And the smart money is flooding into these companies right now…as you read this…
The following gains have all occurred in the last two months…

What on earth is going on here?
What you’re witnessing, right now, this month, is the launch-point of a new tech boom that should last well into next decade.
We are at the very initial stages.
But the time to act is right now, while even the biggest players in the tech realm are still trying to get their heads around it.
Database software giant Oracle only just made its move on the Blockchain Collision a week ago (at the time of writing) in October 2017.
Its new blockchain service will only come online ‘some time in 2018.’
IBM is moving too.
It’s received more patents than any other company in the last 24 years.
It was the world leader in cloud computing. Then artificial intelligence.
Now, what does IBM have up its sleeve to stay on top for a 25th year?
You guessed it.
It’s moving hard into what I call the Blockchain Collision.
‘Greatness isn’t having a technology,’ said IBM CEO Ginni Rometty explaining the move, ‘but the knowhow to do something with it.’
The tiny stocks you just saw that are making unbelievable gains are the small companies who possess this know how.
Shortly, I’m going to introduce you to what I’m convinced will be the three biggest Blockchain Collision small cap movers in 2018.
First, you need to be clear on what this ‘collision event’ actually is.
Just like 1959, this new boom is being triggered by the collision of two technical innovations.
The first is big data.
The second…
…as I’m sure you will have already guessed…
…is something called blockchain.
Blockchain began as a fledgling technology nine years ago.
It was started by an anonymous hacker, the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto.
He created a system where information (data) could be sent peer to peer. No middle man required. Sounds mundane. Kind of like the microchip did in 1959. But it was…and is…a revolution. Because of blockchain, the era of cryptocurrencies was born. And with it, the ability to decentralise data. Like transistors improved vacuum tubes before, blockchain has triggered a giant leap forward in how data is used. |

But its true game-changing potential is only now…at the end of 2017…starting to properly take shape…
See, here’s what 99% of people have wrong about blockchain.
They think the big innovation is new digital currencies.
They’re so, so wrong…
Sure, it’s fun to join in all the celebratory hype about a new kind of digital money.
Wonderful to have a currency that is free from government meddling.
And it’s nice to take a punt on cryptocurrencies and watch them go up.
(Although some very smart investors right now are saying bitcoin has entered bubble territory…)
The truth is, cryptocurrencies are just one part of a 100-piece puzzle.
In a way, a distraction from the REAL investment prize.
See…
The REAL story is what’s about to happen with the technology that birthed cryptocurrencies in the first place: Blockchain.
It will be the people who figure out what happens next with blockchain…
…and who have the smarts to invest accordingly…
…who will become the next generation of tech mega-millionaires.
I’d like to give you a shot at being one of them.
Which is why I’ve put together this report for you now.
Bitcoin and its imitators are great.
But digital currency after all, is just one form of data.
The true epiphany is this:
Every bit of data produced, researched and created has value in this new world.
But to make the most of this, there was one last crucial aspect to be solved.
Privacy.
And this is at the heart of what I call the Blockchain Collision.
As I’m about to show you, we are about to have our next ‘Microchip Moment’.
Very soon, the collision of big data and blockchain will be complete.
And like the 1959 moment, the share price gains in the next few years could be stupendous.
I think they will surpass the 1960s gains, both in length and in size.
Give me a few more minutes to explain. And then we’ll get to specific stocks.
You may have heard of ethereum.
It’s been hyped by the mainstream as ‘the next bitcoin’.
But as I say, this massively misses the point.
What ethereum actually specialises in is smart contracts.
Smart contracts are just ways of transferring data along the blockchain from person to person, automatically.
Just as the microchip automated computation…smart contracts automate the flow of data.
To give an almost mundane example…
Imagine buying a car from someone.
You have to organise the transfer of money. Then send a form to the vehicle registration office and register the car in your name with a signed slip.
It’s time consuming. And the money transfer process leaves you open to risk.
A smart contract would allow the buyer and seller to transfer money and registration details. And, crucially, only make the transfer once both parties had completed their part of the deal.
Blockchain makes this possible.
Let’s make the example a bit less mundane…
Imagine a future where the car only starts for the right driver once this transfer has taken place. All according to the stated rules using a biometric key stored on the blockchain.
The blockchain is the piping of data, which will power our lives through a series of smart contracts.
How is this world-changing, though? As Tapscott Group CEO Don Tapscott perfectly puts it (my emphasis added):
‘The blockchain, the underlying technology, is the biggest innovation in computer science — the idea of a distributed database where trust is established through mass collaboration and clever code rather than through a powerful institution that does the authentication and the settlement Once again, the technology genie has been unleashed from its bottle. It gives us another kick at the can, another go, to try and rethink the economic power grid and the old order of things. That, to me, is how big this is. It feels like 1993.’ | ||
When I say we are at a PRECISE moment — and I mean right now, THIS MONTH — every bit as big as the birth of the microchip and the birth of the Internet…I’m not exaggerating!
