Hemp Provides Investors Access
to Larger Cannabidiol Market
New York, NY –February 8, 2018 –
NetworkNewsWire.com News
Coverage: With the rapid growth
of the legal American cannabis market, other cannabidiol (CBD)-based products
are often overlooked. In particular, hemp has the opportunity to reach medical
and nutritional customers that cannabis can’t, and
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) is tapping
 into that market. With
the potential to provide similar benefits without the same restrictions, hemp
products can be sold in markets such as China, where cannabis remains illegal.
It’s a part of the market that CBD industry leaders such as Freedom Leaf, Inc.
(OTC: FRLF) are also catering to, with marketing and media products for hemp
companies. Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA), America’s first publicly traded
cannabis company, is carrying its CBD business beyond the United States and
across the Americas, while CV Sciences, Inc. (OTC: CVSI) combines scientific
research with a consumer products division to bring innovative CBD products to
the market. At the farming end of the supply chain, Terra Tech Corp. (OTC: TRTC)
provides advanced agricultural solutions and new, better strains of cannabis for
a growing market.
The Growing Cannabidiol Market
The market for legal marijuana is growing at an ever-accelerating rate. Recent
research by Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics indicates that sales in
North America reached almost $10 billion in 2017 and are expected to reach $24.5
billion by 2021 as more markets are created for both medical and recreational
use. But this is still a sector threatened by great uncertainties and
limitations. With no legal cannabis market in many parts of the globe, and with
the current U.S. administration dominated by anti-marijuana conservatives, legal
marijuana represents the troubled part of a larger CBD market.
For companies looking to that wider market, hemp offers a growing option for the
CBD industry, one unfettered by many of the restrictions limiting marijuana. A
report by the Brightfield Group shows that hemp is likely to become a
billion-dollar market in the next three years. Used like cannabis in medicinal
and nutritional products, it benefits from a high portion of online purchases –
nearly two-thirds of hemp sales happen online.
Hemp also has the potential to reach larger international markets. The
American-led war on drugs has encouraged an international climate that’s hostile
to cannabis sales, but in which hemp products mostly remain legal.
Bringing Cannabidiol Products to China
One of the companies best set to make the most of this opportunity is
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX).
Founded in 1999, ChineseInvestors.com is a leading financial information website
for Chinese-speaking investors in both the United States and China. Through its
website, the company offers a range of investor information and services,
including real-time market commentary, analysis and educational products. It
also provides support services for companies looking to get into the Chinese
market, including consulting for companies considering going public, advertising
services and public relations-related support. With information in both English
and Chinese language character sets, it provides an accessible presentation for
investors looking at China both from the inside and the outside.
This is built around the ChineseInvestors Method, a unique integration of a
disciplined investing process, web-based tools, personalized instructions and
support. In this way, CIIX helps investors make informed investment decisions
and helps them meet their individualized financial goals. This includes a
division committed to cryptocurrencies (http://nnw.fm/3p wZV), producing daily
videos to inform Chinese investors about this ever-growing and unregulated
sector of the Chinese economy.
Its position at the intersection of American and Chinese markets has put CIIX in
a perfect position to explore the wider cannabidiol market.
Marijuana use is illegal in China, but CBD oils, including hemp-based CBDs, are
legal. CIIX is committed to developing and distributing hemp-based products in
hopes of helping people improve their overall health, targeting epilepsy,
Alzheimer’s disease, cirrhosis of the liver and various other health conditions.
With nearly 10 million epilepsy patients in China, products that can help these
customers have the potential to become big sellers in a growing market.
In December 2016, CIIX reached a wholesale agreement with a CBD health brand.
Off the back of this, it launched its new subsidiary ChineseCBDoil.com. This
website went live on Jan. 31, 2017, providing the world’s first Chinese language
online store for CBD health products. It provides a variety of nutritional
supplements containing CBD, including soft gels, capsules and concentrates
available to Chinese-speaking customers worldwide.
Though the company has emphasized the health benefits of CBD products, it is
also leveraging its financial and marketing expertise to sell hemp-infused skin
care products in China.
Sales thus far have been so successful that the company is spinning off its
subsidiary — CBD Biotechnology and ChineseHempOil.com, Inc. — with the intention
of listing the new company’s common stock on the OTCQB (http://nnw.fm/Mxi3e).
The site offers a variety of hemp oil products, including OptHemp Ultra Premium
oil, peppermint-flavored hemp oil in softgels and gummies, and the Gold Plus
line of premium hemp oil.
CIIX CEO Warren Wang expressed his confidence in this new development, stating
in a press release, "We are excited to announce our intention to spin off CBD
Biotechnology and ChineseHempOil.com, Inc. as we believe the existing business
lines and the new acquisitions in China, secured by CEO Summer Yun, will allow
these entities to continue to grow in their respective markets, while bringing
new value to the Company's existing shareholders.”
Growth and Challenges in America
The company’s hemp-based health products are available in the United States and
Canada. Wang aims to double the company’s revenue and expand the business in
2018, with growth in North America as well as China. One of the tools to achieve
this is a Yelp-style app for CBD customers. Approved for download by the Apple
App Store, it is the world’s first Chinese-language mobile cannabis navigation
application. The app carries an easily searchable database of marijuana
dispensaries and cannabis strains. Customers can use the platform to review and
discuss cannabis products, allowing them to find the best recommendations and
nearby locations for medical and recreational cannabis. This will broaden the
company’s reach and raise its profile in the growing number of states where
marijuana is legally accessible.
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) is committed to further
research into the use of hemp oil and other CBD products. The company in
investing in research and design enterprises with the goal of developing CBD
drugs to combat epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease. The application period for new
drugs of this type in China is two to four years, meaning that the company will
be able to bring products to market far more quickly than in the United States.
If this research pays off, then the company will not only be providing new uses
for products in a growth sector of the economy, it will also be in position to
launch them in the largest customer market in the world.
Because CBD remains classified as a Schedule 1 drug under the Controlled
Substance Act administered in the United States by the Drug Enforcement
Administration, hemp sales are regarded as illegal by the federal government
despite the growing number of states legalizing it under their authority.
Schedule 1 drugs are identified as substances with a high potential for abuse,
no currently accepted medical use in the United States and a lack of safety
protocols under medical supervision (http://nnw.fm/Nm4CO). This prohibition is
being challenged in court, and that challenge now has the backing of a
cross-party group of Congress members. The Congressional group’s arguments to
the court state that the DEA’s ruling on CBD was an “abuse of DEA’s
administrative procedure and rulemaking authority” and contrary to the
definition of hemp set down by legislators in the 2014 Farm Bill (http://nnw.fm/Y2EPp).
With such strong political support, the hemp industry is optimistic that this
case will result in clarity and a lifting of the restrictions to permit easier
expansion of CBD-based sales for companies such as CIIX.
The Cannabis Industry Connection
The deep connection between hemp production and the wider cannabis industry is
shown by the work of companies such as Freedom Leaf (OTCQB: FRLF). A leading
media producer and distributor in the cannabis and hemp industries, Freedom Leaf
is a trusted source of information in the sector. The company is involved in
mergers and acquisitions in the marijuana industry and has a portfolio of news,
print and digital multi-media verticals, websites and web advertising,
establishing it as a media outlet and discussion forum for a growing group of
industries. It also provides services in branding, licensing and marketing these
products, positioning it to make the most of fast growth in this sector.
One of the great pioneers of the cannabis sector in both North and South
America, Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA) is also involved in hemp. The first
publicly traded cannabis company in the United States, the company also is
situated in Brazil and Puerto Rico. This forward-looking company is exploring
the medical and nutritional potential of hemp.
CV Sciences (OTCQB: CVSI) is both a researcher into CBD-based medicines and a
producer of consumer food products based on that research. It is tapping into a
wide range of market sectors through products such as its Purified Liquids
products for vaping. Its PlusCBD Oil is the top-selling brand of hemp-derived
CBD oil for consumers in the natural products industry.
On the agricultural side, Terra Tech (OTCQX: TRTC) is a vertically integrated,
cannabis-focused company committed to cultivating and providing the highest
quality medical cannabis. Its research-led approach to cultivating and
cross-breeding marijuana strains leads to better products for treating a wide
range of ailments. Its greenhouse and hydroponic systems allow the safe,
efficient growth of cannabis and other plants in urban farming facilities,
expanding the options for production in the CBD industry.
With the wider CBD industry growing, companies such as ChineseInvestors.com are
aiming to profit from the growing power of hemp and its legal position in a
disputed market.

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. Announces its Wholly-Owned Foreign Enterprise, CBD
Biotechnology Co. Ltd.'s New Luxury Skincare Products Have Been Approved by the
CFDA and Will Launch in China in February 2018
SAN GABRIEL, California, February 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

Chinese-speaking investors, today announced that its wholly-owned foreign

Food and Drug Administration ("CFDA"). In November 2017, CBD Biotech launched

create a low-grade electromagnetic current, which may help to rejuvenate when
combined with its own blend of soothing, hydrating anti-inflammatory
ingredients.

middle-class has shown a desire for luxury skincare products. CBD Biotech is
meeting market demands by offering cutting-edge products that use the latest
skincare technologies and include our exclusive hemp infused formulas."

Sino Adoption of Blockchain
Technologies, Cryptocurrencies on Horizon
New York, NY – January 30, 2018 –
NetworkNewsWire.com News
Coverage: The widespread adoption
of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies is all but inevitable. The
technologies demonstrate numerous consumer and commercial advantages,
particularly in logistics, international trade, and even food-safety and product
anti-counterfeiting
drives. As global and
online commerce expands, so does the need for streamlined verification of
product quality, delivery and payments, a few of the many capabilities offered
by blockchain technology. An emerging leader in this space is
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX), which, among other
cryptocurrency-related endeavors, recently opened a bitcoin ATM at its U.S.
headquarters in California. Other companies operating in the cryptocurrency and
blockchain space include MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (OTC: MGTI), Bitcoin
Investment Trust (OTC: GBTC), LongFin Corp. (NASDAQ: LFIN) and Overstock.com,
Inc. (NASDAQ: OSTK).
China’s Growing Middle and Upper Classes
Many experts see China as the next big frontier for cryptocurrencies and
blockchain technologies. Of course, the big fundamental is that the world’s
second-largest economy is now China, topped only by the United States. Moreover,
at current annual economic growth rates of just under 7%, China’s gross domestic
product (GDP) should about double in the next 10 to 12 years. Given the size of
its population, China will eventually eclipse the United States as the world’s
largest economy.
The rapid emergence of Chinese middle- and upper-classes creates a large pool of
consumers who want assurance of product provenance and delivery, as well as an
avalanche of new investors who will seek to place a portion of their portfolios
into cryptocurrencies - not only as a pure investment, but to ease investment
into other asset classes, and to effect transactions.
“If you carry the trends forward, it is probable that Chinese investors will be
the richest group in the world within 20 years or less,”
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) CEO Warren Wang
recently stated.
Since its inception in 1999, CIIX has become a leading financial information
website for Chinese-speaking investors in the United States and China. To
sharpen its focus on cryptocurrencies and financial education, the company has
decided spin-off its CBD Biotechnology and ChineseHempOil.com subsidiaries
(http://nnw.fm/sri0Y), which it plans to register as a separate publicly traded
company.
This move will enable CIIX to allocate it resources toward educating the Chinese
public regarding cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies, along with
related marketing and operational efforts.
Recognizing the Chinese community’s mounting interest in cryptocurrency, CIIX
currently broadcasts a daily newscast, “Bitcoin MultiMillionaire,” operates its
free bitcoin Chinese language education site, www.newcoins168.com, and recently
reached agreement to host a bitcoin ATM in the lobby of its headquarters in San
Gabriel, California.
Sino wealth creates prospects for investment products
“The signs of accumulating capital in China are obvious, from soaring condo
prices in major cities such as Shanghai, to top dollar paid for authentic Sino
antiquities. The Hong Kong Hang Seng Index, which is heavily tied to
mainland-listed companies and the Sino
economy, is up 50% in the last 12 months,” observes Wang. “Labor is also
becoming more expensive—so much so, that some manufacturers are already
off-shoring to cheaper platforms, such as in Southeast Asia.”
As incomes rise, Chinese citizens “can accumulate savings, as they have long
wanted to. China has a high savings rate,” explains Wang. “The prospects for
investment products that are properly positioned in China are extraordinarily
bright.”
Beijing ban
However, Chinese authorities in a series of rules stretching back into early
2017 have made it increasingly difficult for Sino residents to trade in
cryptocurrencies, including a ban in September on exchanges trading in bitcoin.
Some of China’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, including OKCoin and Huobi,
halted trading between bitcoin and yuan, awaiting more clarity from financial
regulators.
The China-based BTCC was the world's oldest bitcoin exchange, but closed down
last year under pressure from Chinese authorities. New ICOs are also banned in
China.
China Investors Adapt
“Despite regulations, Chinese investors have demonstrated they want to bitcoin
and other cryptocurrencies to be part of their assets,” observes Wang.
Many Chinese investors are selling and buying cryptocurrencies through
unregulated, over-the-counter exchanges, after the official ban on conventional
exchanges from trading in the digital currencies. Notably, the unregulated
trading is still legal.
“The present environment for cryptocurrencies in China requires for even
more-knowledgeable participation by Chinese consumers and investors, and thus
even a greater need for education and insightful commentary,” noted Wang.
“Evolving environments usually offer more challenges but more opportunities that
static situations.”
Wang advised industry entrepreneurs to be patient with Chinese investors while
Sino residents learn about digital wallet management and the processes for
trading in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. He also expressed confidence that
China will organize a regulated market for cryptocurrency trading in the future.
In addition, Chinese monetary officials appear to be migrating to a national
cryptocurrency system, the details of which have yet to be worked out, or at
least made public. A researcher at the People's Bank of China (which is the
nation’s central bank and monetary authority) told a public forum in November
that it is “crucial" that the country organizes an official central bank-issued
cryptocurrency at an early date.
In the past, Beijing has often undertaken initiatives in commerce, but then
increasingly relied on the private-sector to bring visions to fruition. Indeed,
speaking at the international World Economic Forum in January 25, Liu He,
regarded as President Xi Jinping’s top economic planner, told the global
financial elite in Davos that China would be even more engaged in economic
“reforms” going forward, usually an expression that means increased reliance on
market forces. If and when the People’s Bank of China implements a national
cryptocurrency, it too may invite increasing participation from the
private-sector to make such a currency as efficient and universal as possible.
To date, mainland officials have only run trials of a prototype national
cryptocurrency.
Meanwhile, the private sector is evolving networks of talent and financiers to
help the blockchain industry develop in China. For example, in 2015 the
China-based Fenbushi Venture Capital, with Vitalek Butarin, the founder of
Ethereum, as adviser. Fenbushi’s general partner is Feng Xiao, founder of Bosera
Asset Management, one of the first and largest mutual funds in China. The use of
blockchain technology to identify counterfeit goods, and prevent their online
dissemination, may be one of the first widely adopted uses of the immutable
ledgers enabled by blockchain systems.
“Whatever the shape of the China economy going forward, cryptocurrency and
blockchain technologies will play a key and growing role,” said Wang. “There
will be a vast and increasing need for informed reporting and education in these
topics, for consumers, investors and entrepreneurs.”
Wang added that there is tremendous opportunity for
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) to bring added revenue
and profitability to its shareholders as the huge Far East investment community
seeks timely insights into the presently volatile market of bitcoin and other
cryptocurrencies. Wang urged entrepreneurs and venture capitalists to be patient
in China, both with the population and the government. “Throughout history, in
every nation, the best technologies are ultimately adopted,” advised Wang.
“Beijing wants the China economy to modernize, to become integrated with the
global economy. Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies will help with
those goals.”
Potential Blockchain Comparables
MGT Capital Investments (OTCQB: MGTI) operates subsidiaries developing a
portfolio of cybersecurity technologies. The company address cyber-threats
through protection technologies for mobile and personal tech devices, as well as
corporate networks. MGTI also operates a bitcoin mining operation.
Bitcoin Investment Trust (OTCQX: GBTC) is a U.S.-based open-ended grantor trust,
sponsored by Grayscale Investments, that invests exclusively in bitcoin, which
of course, is the pioneering use blockchain technology to verify ownership and
confirm transactions. Bitcoin Investment Trust is the first publicly quoted
bitcoin investment enterprise, with its shares the first securities to be solely
invested in and deriving value from the price of bitcoin. BIT enables investors
to gain exposure to bitcoins through a traditional and liquid investment
vehicle, without the challenges of buying, storing and safekeeping bitcoins.
BIT, along with bitcoin futures-trading recently undertaken by Cboe Global
Markets (CBOE) and the CME Group (CME), thus broadens the market and reduces the
risk of investing in, owning and or using bitcoins in transactions.
LongFin (NASDAQ: LFIN) is working to connect 70 FX and spot exchanges with 300
banks through its electronic market platform. Earlier this month, LongFin
announced that its Ziddu Smart Contracts are commercially available on the
Ethereum blockchain. Longfin contends Ziddu.com is currently the only venue for
decentralized smart contracts. The Ziddu contracts allow for an open but
immutable ledger, decentralized verification, and transparent execution. Ziddu
also offers micro-finance and lending against collateralized warehouse receipts.
As one of the earliest retailers to accept bitcoin payments, online retailer
Overstock.com (NASDAQ: OSTK) in December 2017 launched a $250 million initial
coin offering (“ICO”). Company CEO Patrick Byrne told CNNMoney he may even
consider selling off the better-known online retail business to focus on the 10
blockchain companies it owns.

Established Companies
Positioning to Invest in Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies
New York, NY – January 23, 2018 –
NetworkNewsWire.com News
Coverage: Despite the skepticism
in the market about the legitimacy and longevity of bitcoin and other
cryptocurrencies, the underlying blockchain technology is something that tech
firms and the financial sector cannot ignore. While cryptocurrencies’ surging
values and wild price fluctuations have
made many established
organizations reluctant to invest in this market, Bloomberg reports that Goldman
Sachs is setting up a trading desk for cryptocurrencies (http://nnw.fm/ayFK8).
This positions the company to be the first large Wall Street investment banker
to trade in digital currency. Businesses such as
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) are taking advantage of the
deeper rooted blockchain market that seems to offer infinite application. Xunlei
Limited (NASDAQ: XNET), a cloud-based computing company, is another company
extending its reach by incorporating blockchain technology in its offerings, and
still others showing interest in the cryptocurrency, bitcoin and blockchain
sector include MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (OTC: MGTI), Riot Blockchain, Inc.
(NASDAQ: RIOT) and the retailer Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSTK).
The number of corporate investors in blockchain companies hit a record high in
2017, with large banks and financial service organizations leading the way.
Among the growing list of recognizable names, Google’s parent company, Alphabet
Inc. , is another big investor in blockchain (http://nnw.fm/guBC3). Increased
application and acceptance are subsequently pushing the value of
cryptocurrencies, the tokens used in blockchain technology, higher. In 2017,
they surged to $600 billion from just over $18 billion at the start of the year
(http://nnw.fm/wVAZ0).
Additionally, initial coin offerings (ICOs) are overtaking traditional funding
options for blockchain start-ups. Several huge deals were negotiated during
2017, including the $107 million raised by R3, a company developing a blockchain
database for use by global financial institutions. Coinbase, a digital currency
exchange based in San Francisco, raised $100 million in equity funding.
Committed to Cryptocurrency
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) was founded in 1999 and has
developed into a leading financial website for Chinese-speaking investors in
China and the United States. The company’s clients trade in the OTCQB Venture
Market, NASDAQ and NYSE public markets, among others. With a core focus on
investor education, the site offers various products and services such as
real-time market analysis, commentary and investment education. The company also
offers advice to smaller companies on growth strategy, while providing support
services for advertising and public relations.
ChineseInvestors.com saw its first-quarter investor relations (IR) revenues grow
186 percent over comparable revenues reported in the first quarter of 2017.
During the 2017 fiscal year, the company’s IR sales made a 130-percent,
year-over-year leap to $808,362 (http://nnw.fm/53Ge6). ChineseInvestors.com is
becoming more selective about its client companies in the process, and is
entering into more cash compensation arrangements. Now it proposes to extend its
educational coverage to bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market.
The company has stated its commitment to the future of bitcoin and other
cryptocurrencies, and has thus decided to spin off its wholly owned cannabis
subsidiaries (CBD Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and ChineseHempOil.com) to focus
efforts on its new cryptocurrency division. Despite China’s ban on
cryptocurrency trading on domestic regulated exchanges, company CEO Warren Wang
remains highly optimistic about the future of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,
noting that Chinese investors are bypassing the ban to trade on unregulated
offline platforms.
In an interview with the Bad Crypto Podcast, Wang said: “The Chinese investor is
an advocate of gambling. Most today trade bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on
the offline market. The Chinese-speaking people within China and also in North
America — the U.S. and Canada — are excited about bitcoin.”
Cryptocurrency also provides investors the ability to diversify their portfolio
and shift away from traditional investment opportunities.
“Real estate is very expensive and so are labor and rents in China. Investors
have a high savings rate. They now would like to make bitcoin and other
cryptocurrencies part of their assets. They are trading offline on platforms of
decentralized exchanges to do so,” Wang explained.
With a strong commitment to cryptocurrency education and awareness,
ChineseInvestors.com broadcasts a daily video, called Bitcoin MultiMillionaire,
from the NYSE. The company also hosts and has installed a Bitcoin ATM in the
lobby of its headquarters in San Gabriel, California. This installation enables
the company to reach the Chinese-speaking community worldwide with bitcoin
marketing, even though Chinese regulators have banned sales of bitcoin.
"Although there has been some volatility in the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin's
price resilience is impressive … With each rebound in price relative to news, we
see more evidence that the concept of digital currency is taking root with
investors and the general public alike," Wang stated in the press release
(http://nnw.fm/mU7QS). "In addition to providing skilled investors with news
about digital currency,
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) hopes to satisfy the average
person's curiosity about cryptocurrency, including how to purchase Bitcoin.
Moreover, the underlying Blockchain Technology is extremely compelling and we
expect to see many interesting developments in this area. Bitcoin ATMs are just
one example of how this area is moving forward. We are excited to make this
service available to the Chinese community."
Wang advised industry entrepreneurs to be patient with Chinese investors while
they learn about digital wallet management and the processes for trading in
bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. He expressed confidence that China may
organize a regulated market for cryptocurrency trading in the future.
Comparable Companies
Multinational technology company Xunlei Limited (NASDAQ: XNET) is an online
service provider investing in cryptocurrency from its base in Shenzhen, China.
The company’s cloud-based platform enables users to access, manage and consume
digital media content. Its Xunlei Accelerator product enables users to
accelerate digital transmission over the internet through various products, such
as Green Channel and Offline Accelerator. Mobile Xunlei allows users to search,
download and consume media content on mobile devices. Xunlei’s OneThingCloud is
a LinkToken mining platform designed to be mobile-compatible for digital
currency mining. Mid-October 2017, the company launched OneCoin, a
cryptocurrency that has experienced a dramatic increase in value, more than
80-fold since launch.
MGT Capital Investments (OTCQB: MGTI) focuses on acquiring and developing a
portfolio of cyber security technologies. The company also addresses various
cyber threats through the implementation of protection technologies for mobile
and personal devices, as well as corporate computer networks. MGT is also
actively engaged in bitcoin mining. In December 2017 the company announced its
agreements to secure reliable and adequate electric power in Sweden and that it
expects to start deployment of mining rigs early in 2018. The initial phase of
the agreement will provide MGT with 25 megawatts of power, enough for more than
15,000 Bitmain S-9 mining rigs.
Originally known as Bioptix Pharma, Riot Blockchain (NASDAQ: RIOT) has
experienced rapid growth following its decision to reorient its focus from
biopharmaceuticals to blockchain technology. The company’s stock soared from $7
in November 2017 to over $46 in mid-December. Riot Blockchain’s mission is to
establish itself as an authority on blockchain technology, while offering
investors valuable exposure to the blockchain market. The company invested in
Verady, LLC, which provides accounting and auditing services to the digital
currency market. It also owns a share in Coinsquare, a Canadian-based
cryptocurrency exchange. Riot Blockchain has majority ownership of TessPay, a
blockchain-based payment resource for wholesale telecom carriers.
Overstock.com (NASDAQ: OSTK) is a U.S.-based online, award-winning retailer
which, through its Medici Ventures INC subsidiary, is also focused on blockchain
applications with the potential to disrupt industries such as capital markets,
finance and banking, property registration and voting identity verification.
Medici recently raised over $2.2 million in a seed funding round for mobile
voting platform, Voatz, which aim to use blockchain technology and biometrics
improve voting infrastructure security (http://nnw.fm/4nqGD).
Many companies are concerned about the volatility in the cryptocurrency market.
However, there is increasing acceptance that blockchain technology is here to
stay and will continue to have a growing impact on the way the world transacts
and does business. These companies are taking the lead by positioning themselves
to capitalize on this opportunity and develop their enterprises as leaders in
this industry.

Repeal of Cole Memo Raises
Concerns, Opportunities for Cannabis Industry
New York, NY – January 18, 2018 –
NetworkNewsWire.com News
Coverage: Shortly after cannabis
enthusiasts and investors celebrated California’s January 1, 2018, rollout of
legal recreational marijuana sales to adults, the federal government reversed
its course on marijuana policy, calling for tighter enforcement of marijuana
laws. U.S. Attorney
General Jeff Sessions
rescinded the Cole Memorandum, a 2013 policy that offered some protections from
federal prosecution for the cultivation, distribution and possession of cannabis
in states where the highly regulated plant is legal (http://nnw.fm/7h5KR).
Sessions’ decision ushered in a deeper freeze to the banking dilemma facing
cannabis retailers, who have found themselves relying primarily on cash
transactions since cannabis remains illegal under federal law. Although the
rollback of the Cole memo created serious questions and sent marijuana-related
stocks lower, there continues to be positive movement in the cannabis industry
as companies such as
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) Overstock.com, Inc.
(NASDAQ: OSTK), MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (OTC: MGTI), Riot Blockchain, Inc.
(NASDAQ: RIOT), and Xunlei Limited (NASDAQ: XNET) invest their attention and
resources on alternative financing options and the technology behind them.
Confusion = Opportunity
Even amid what the media is describing as a potential future “crackdown” on
marijuana-related business, the cannabis industry is expected to mushroom from
$6.7 billion in 2016 to over $21 billion by 2021, according to Arcview Group
research (http://nnw.fm/PL0e0). In rescinding the Cole Memo policy, Sessions
said future prosecutions of businesses and individuals who sell cannabis in
states where it has been legalized will be left up to individual U.S. attorneys
(http://nnw.fm/E5rrP). Nearly 70 U.S. representatives of Congress wasted no time
in proposing a spending bill amendment that would ensure protections for states
that have legalized marijuana in spite of Sessions’ decision. Representatives
said the proposed provision is written to specifically respect the
constitutional authority of states to regulate commerce within their own borders
(http://nnw.fm/v1yAU).
Warren Wang, CEO and founder of
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX), said that even during
a time of confusion in the broader cannabis industry there is opportunity if one
knows where to look.
ChineseInvestors.com, a diverse educational and consulting company for the
Chinese-speaking community in China and the United States with interests in the
cannabinoid (CBD) market, recently announced it is spinning off two of its
divisions to allow the company to focus on its new cryptocurrency division.
“We are excited to announce our intention to spin off CBD Biotechnology and
ChineseHempOil.com, Inc., as we believe the existing business lines and the new
acquisitions in China, secured by CEO (of CBD Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) Summer
Yun, will allow these
entities to continue to grow in their respective markets, while bringing new
value to the company’s existing shareholders,” Wang said in a December news
release (http://nnw.fm/Yp1aN).
Cryptocurrency Options
The company recently announced an agreement with Blockchain BTM, LLC, to host a
Bitcoin ATM in the lobby of its headquarters in San Gabriel, Calif. (http://nnw.fm/Vb6wQ).
The Bitcoin ATM allows cryptocurrency enthusiasts to purchase up to $7,000 worth
of Bitcoin daily. The company plans to expand this service in other Chinese
communities located throughout the United States, in addition to providing
onsite customer service representatives able to help customers with using the
Bitcoin ATM. The machine offers translation into five languages including
traditional and simplified Chinese, English, Spanish, French and Korean.
In the same announcement, CIIX unveiled its new cryptocurrency education and
information services, including the first Chinese Daily Video Newscast, Bitcoin
Multimillionaire, broadcast from the NYSE and covering cryptocurrency and
blockchain technology. In November the company launched a free bitcoin news and
education website in the Chinese language under the domain name newcoins168.com
to serve Chinese cryptocurrency investors globally (http://nnw.fm/Vb6wQ).
“In addition to providing skilled investors with news about digital currency,
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc., hopes to satisfy the average person’s curiosity
about cryptocurrency, including how to purchase Bitcoin,” Wang said in
announcing the company’s strategy. “Moreover, the underlying blockchain
technology is extremely compelling and we expect to see many interesting
developments in this area. Bitcoin ATMs are just one example of how this area is
moving forward. We are excited to make this service available to the Chinese
community.”
Viable Alternatives
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are seen as viable alternatives to
conventional banking for the cannabis industry. Adopting this method of payment
could provide a safer alternative to dealing solely in cash when conducting a
transaction at a medical marijuana dispensary or retail establishment (http://nnw.fm/cMs5P).
Cryptocurrencies are supported through blockchain technology, an encrypted
digital ledger used to record financial and informational transactions. Wang,
who remains bullish on the future of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,
emphasized during a recent interview (http://nnw.fm/lGJ4G) that the
Chinese-speaking community worldwide is eager to learn more about buying and
managing digital currencies, despite China’s ban on trading cryptocurrencies on
a regulated exchange.
In an interview with the Bad Crypto Podcast (http://nnw.fm/oO7WI), Wang said the
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) is an important target
for cryptocurrency entrepreneurs.
“The Chinese investor is an advocate of gambling,” he explained. “Most today
trade Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on the offline market. The
Chinese-speaking people within China and also in North America — the U.S. and
Canada — are excited about Bitcoin.”
Legalization of recreational marijuana for adults is inching closer in Canada
with an expected July 1, 2018, opening date. Blockchain technology, the
underpinning strength of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and Ethereum, is quickly
being touted as the financial security tool of the future for the cannabis
industry, its producers, growers, labs, specialists and dispensaries (http://nnw.fm/1OY0z).
Industry giant IBM is also reporting that blockchain technology could provide
“an irrefutable chain of custody” for cannabis — from its infancy as a seed to
final production and sale of the plant’s various forms (http://nnw.fm/6qH4i).
Blockchain Believers
Among other companies developing opportunities in the blockchain sector,
Overstock.com (NASDAQ: OSTK) solidified its goal of bringing greater
transparency and efficiency to capital markets by launching an initial coin
offering (ICO), cryptocurrency’s version of a stock initial public offering
(IPO), in December through its exchange operator, tZERO. The “pre-sale” phase
targeting strategic purchasers began Dec. 18 and a “subsequent sale period”
phase seeking agreements with other accredited investors is scheduled to begin
Jan. 18 (http://nnw.fm/rOJa6). Overstock is the third most active corporate
blockchain investor worldwide.
MGT Capital Investments (OTCQB: MGTI), with facilities in Washington state and
Sweden, ranks as one of the largest global bitcoin miners. The company is also
deeply invested in cybersecurity technologies for mobile and corporate
applications. The company announced agreements in December to secure “reliable
and adequate” electrical power in Sweden to begin bit mining operations there by
the end of January. Stephen Schaeffer, president of the company’s Crypto-Capital
Strategies business unit, said the company is “exploring cost-efficient
locations for hosting and electricity on a global basis” (http://nnw.fm/4UwVJ).
Riot Blockchain (NASDAQ: RIOT), a strategic investor and operator in blockchain
technology, focusing primarily on bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains, has its own
bitcoin mining operation. Its portfolio includes investments in cryptocurrency
accounting and audit technology services, a Canadian exchange for digital
currencies and a telecom industry escrow service based on the blockchain. Riot
recently announced it has established Digital Green Energy Corp. as a wholly
owned subsidiary to explore international infrastructure opportunities. The
company is identifying environmentally friendly projects with large energy
capacity and a cost-efficient rate for cryptocurrency mining and data center
operations, according to a news release (http://nnw.fm/2FH1p).
Based in China, Xunlei Ltd. (NASDAQ: XNET) is an online advertising service
provider that also provides downloading services and online game platforms for
game developers and users. Its products and services include Xunlei accelerator
and cloud acceleration subscription services, in addition to providing mobile
device applications. Onething Technologies Co., a subsidiary of Xunlei Ltd.,
recently brought its OneThing Cloud technology that integrates “crowd sourced
computing + blockchain” to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
OneThing Cloud is a smart device that can collect idle computing resources
including bandwidth and storage from users who are then rewarded with a form of
digital asset called LinkToken (http://nnw.fm/wf87Z).
Blockchain technology is being touted as one of the single most important
advancements in the securities and financial sectors. Cannabis-related business
owners, along with other ancillary retail industry sectors, are paying close
attention to the progress being made by companies leading the way in today’s
fluid environment as the public and politicians grapple with marijuana’s next
chapter.

Cryptocurrency Finds Security
Amid Underlying Mutual Distrust Common Between Trading Partners
New York, NY – January 12, 2018 –
NetworkNewsWire.com News
Coverage: In a global marketplace
where Internet-based technologies increasingly allow businesses the means and
confidence to work with each other beyond political
borders and with a
minimum of governmental interference, cryptocurrencies have the potential to
create a B2B
interdependent financing
system — perhaps even a single, common digital currency someday — because of the
blockchain
technology that
underpins cryptocurrency trade. With the beginning of market movement for the
New Year, cryptocurrency started just shy of $613 billion in total
capitalization
and climbed steadily
toward $750 billion on Jan. 4, showing an exponential rise just since April 2017
when it passed the $25 billion mark.
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) is one of the businesses
committed to the development of blockchain-based cryptocurrencies, recently
announcing plans to spin-off two of its corporate divisions tied to hemp
marketing and the burgeoning legal cannabis industry in order to focus on its
cryptocurrency division (http://nnw.fm/5sf8Z). Other companies preparing to
capitalize on opportunities in the blockchain sector include MGT Capital
Investments, Inc. (OTC: MGTI), LongFin Corp. (NASDAQ: LFIN), Bitcoin Services,
Inc. (OTC: BTSC) and Overstock.com, Inc., (NASDAQ: OSTK).
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX)
provides innovation in
real-time market analysis and educational services in Chinese language character
sets, support services for advertising and public relations, and the sale of
hemp-based products and other health-related products. Despite China’s
prohibitions on trading cryptocurrencies as a regulated central exchange,
company CEO Warren Wang stated in an interview last month that many Chinese
investors are trading them legally on unregulated “over the counter” platforms
that connect individuals to each other. And ChineseInvestors.com showed its own
commitment to cryptocurrency by installing a Bitcoin ATM in the lobby of its San
Gabriel, California, headquarters (http://nnw.fm/VIa3n). Wang called it the
first such automated teller for cryptocurrency within the Chinese community in
the United States and said it has generated a lot of traffic.
China serves as an example of the mutual distrust that drives cryptocurrencies’
prospects while relying on so-called “miners” to establish a level of trust in
the legitimacy of the exchanges.
Despite the lack of a regulated Chinese exchange to trade cryptocurrencies and
what Wang referred to as the Chinese government’s “badmouthing” of bitcoin
though its official TV media outlet, the CEO said Chinese-speaking people within
China and North America are very interested in buying, selling and trading
bitcoin among themselves and he urged entrepreneurs to be patient as the
community learns the ropes.
“I believe
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) will be the richest
group in the world in (the) next 20 years, … because Chinese middle class are
emerging since 2000 when the country opened the door to worldwide people,”
he
said in an interview with NetworkNewsWire (http://nnw.fm/U2Uct). “Real estate is
very expensive and so are labor and rents in China. Investors have a high
savings rate. They now would like to make bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies
part of their assets.”
Blockchain technology was established on the principle that an unalterable
digital ledger of transactions (arranged in blocks) requiring transparency among
multiple parties would reduce the risk of fraud and prevent duplication in the
transactions. It was proposed as the foundation of an alternative, people’s-run
economic system that would not require the security of an established storefront
middleman like a bank to uphold the transactions. Critics have questioned it on a commodities basis,
searching for an undeniable stability that investors can rely on.
ChineseInvestors.com's ATM is one example of the company’s commitment to
providing cryptocurrency education. The company recently attended a Toronto
cryptocurrency roadshow and educational seminar on how to buy, sell and manage the coins, and it
produces a daily video from the New York Stock Exchange called ‘Bitcoin
Multimillionaire’ that is focused on news about the currency (http://nnw.fm/Lfrx8).
“In an effort to expand its media products, as the first quarter of fiscal year
2018 came to a close, the Company announced that it would be working with Wall
Street Multimedia (WSM), an independent news agency located in the NYSE, to
produce a daily cryptocurrency video newscast in Chinese, providing timely
information and exclusive analysis regarding all aspects of the emerging digital
currency world, including specific cryptocurrencies, such as ‘Bitcoin’ and ‘Ethereum,’
industry trends, price movement, blockchain technology, sector-related stocks
and ETFs, etc.,” ChineseInvestors.com stated in its most recent 10Q filing in
October.
The company has offices in Shanghai, New York and California, and has plans to
expand to Canada.
“There’s so many cryptocurrencies from China emerging, or at least on the
exchange right now,” Wang said, referring to a sort of anti-governmental
sentiment and a “huge demand from (the) Chinese community trying to learn these
assets and what (they) are about” that “gives us tremendous opportunity to bring
the revenue and profitability to our shareholders."
Other companies focused on the potential of blockchain’s financial applications
include:
MGT Capital Investments (OTCQB: MGTI), which is a Northwestern United States
company deeply invested in cybersecurity technologies for mobile and corporate
applications. The company is also one of the largest worldwide working in
Bitcoin mining and announced agreements in December to secure “reliable and
adequate” electrical power in Sweden to begin bit mining operations there by the
end of January. (http://nnw.fm/noP3K).
LongFin (NASDAQ: LFIN) specializes in structured commodity trade finance
worldwide and works to establish markets and ensure liquidity through
technological advances. The company stated in the fall of 2017 that it aims to
connect 70 FX and spot exchanges with 300 banks through its electronic market
platform, and in December made headlines when the acquisition of Ziddu.com
sparked a huge cryptocurrency fever-inspired bounce in trading (http://nnw.fm/jRr8I).
Bitcoin Services (OTC: BTSC) is another company that performs bitcoin mining
services, and began mining its own cryptocurrency known as Dash in early 2017.
The company develops and markets blockchain-related software, and created
subsidiary CryptoCapital Corp. in the fall of 2017 as a cryptocurrency holding
firm, or a digital wallet, that would let users store multiple digital
currencies in one place.
Overstock.com (NASDAQ: OSTK) solidified its goal of bringing greater
transparency and efficiency to capital markets by launching an initial coin
offering (ICO), cryptocurrency’s version of a stock initial public offering
(IPO), in December through its exchange operator, tZERO. The “pre-sale” phase
targeting strategic purchasers began Dec. 18 and a “subsequent sale period”
phase seeking agreements with other accredited investors is scheduled to begin
Jan. 18. Overstock is the third-most-active corporate blockchain investor
worldwide, according to a CB Insights report (http://nnw.fm/Cd39K), and may even
consider selling off the retail business to focus on the 10 blockchain companies
it owns (http://nnw.fm/Sx0gO).
Amid a worldwide effort to conduct business across borders as seamlessly and
transparently as possible, blockchain technology and its financial sector
development as cryptocurrencies are building confidence in an alternative
economic system built on the need to overcome mutual distrust that exists
between trading partners, governments and people in general as they strive to
successfully work together.

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. Announces its Plan to Spin Off its Wholly-owned
Foreign Entity, CBD Biotechnology Co. Ltd., and its Wholly-owned Subsidiary,
ChineseHempOil.com, Inc. to Allow the Company to Focus on its New Cryptocurrency
Division and its Core Financial Education Business
CBD Biotechnology Co. Ltd. Announces
Acquisition of Chinese Wholesale Alcohol License
SAN GABRIEL, California, Dec 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB:
CIIX) ('CIIX' or
the 'Company'), the premier financial information website for Chinese-speaking
investors, today announces plans to spin off its wholly-owned foreign
enterprise, CBD Biotechnology Co. Ltd., and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
ChineseHempOil.com, Inc., to be registered as a separate publically traded
company allowing CIIX to focus on its new Cryptocurrency Division and its Core
Financial Education Business. The Company's Board of Directors approved plans to
spin off the Consumer Products Division in both the United States and China,
which includes its hemp oil assets and its new wholesale alcohol distribution
business, at the end of February 2018. The Company will take appropriate steps
for the shares of the subsidiary's common stock to be listed for trading on the
OTC:QB. The Company hopes to emulate the success it experienced in incubating
Medicine Man Technologies, Inc. ("MDCL") as it transitioned from a private
startup company to successful public company.
"We are excited to announce our intention to spin off CBD Biotechnology and
ChineseHempOil.com, Inc. as we believe the existing business lines and the new
acquisitions in China, secured by CEO Summer Yun, will allow these entities to
continue
to grow in their respective markets, while bringing new value to the Company's
existing shareholders. The details about the value to the Company's existing
shareholders will be announced in the coming weeks," says ChineseInvestor.com,
Inc.'s CEO Warren Wang.
CBD Biotechnology Co. Ltd. has recently acquired a Wholesale Alcohol License in
China thereby expanding its Chinese consumer division to include distribution of
"baijiu," the grain liquor known as the toast of choice for the Chinese. On
November 7, 2017, CBD Biotechnology was issued Wholesale Alcohol License from
the ShangHai Wine Monopoly Bureau effective October 24, 2107 for a three year
term.
CBD Biotechnology has also entered into a wholesale agreement with China GuiZhou
HanTai Wine, Inc. to distribute its brand of baijiu, Yantai 1985, and has kicked
off its sales and marketing plan by partnering with Jinri Toutiao (translation:
Today's Headlines), a popular Chinese mobile application just in time to launch
for the Chinese New Year. Founded in 1979, China GuiZhou HanTai Wine, Inc.'s
top-selling baijiu brand, Yantai 1985, is produced in the town of Maotai in
China's Guizhou province. Moutai is renowned for having the purest water in
China; therefore, spirits produced in Moutai have a distinct taste and pleasing
aroma attributable to the use of local water in the production.
Today's Headlines, the first broad news aggregator app in China, with content
ranging from real-time news to music, movies, games, and shopping, is one of the
most popular and fastest growing mobile apps in China with over 600 million
registered users. Today's Headlines provides CBD Biotechnology a cost effective,
convenient, and trustworthy platform to directly connect with millions of users
to market Yantai 1985, the CBD Magic Hemp Series skincare line and other
complimentary consumer product lines it may identify in the near future. Reports
indicate that online sales of alcohol beverages in China will double by 2020 as
more consumers look for product information online before buying. Through its
relationship with China GuiZhou HanTai Wine, Inc. and Today's Headlines, CBD
Biotechnology hopes to capitalize on this growing consumer trend to expand its
brand awareness and achieve sustainable revenue growth.
According to Summer Yun, CEO of CBD Biotechnology Co. Ltd., "The decision to
expand CBD Biotechnology's Chinese Consumer Division to include baijiu liquor
sales is part of a strategic plan to increase revenues in the coming year. By
aligning with China GuiZhou HanTai Wine, Inc., CBD Biotechnology has partnered
with a proven leader in the Chinese baijiu market. In addition to distribution
rights, the agreement between CBD Biotechnology and China GuiZhou HanTai Wine,
Inc. affords CBD Biotechnology the opportunity to launch its own brand of baijiu
in the future." Ultra-premium baijiu volumes are expected to jump by 16% a year
over the next five years as the number of high earners in China soars, a new
report has said, providing CBD Biotechnology a huge opportunity to gain
significant market share in this growing industry.

With Plans to Expand to Serve Other Chinese Communities Throughout the United
States
SAN GABRIEL, California, Dec 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB:
CIIX) ('CIIX' or
the 'Company'), the premier financial information website for Chinese-speaking
investors, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Blockchain

Technology. In November the Company launched a free bitcoin news and education
website in the Chinese language under the domain name newcoins168.com to serve
Chinese cryptocurrency investors globally. In addition, the Company will launch
new cryptocurrency subscription products in January 2018.
"Although there has been some volatility in the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin's
price resilience is impressive, reaching over $11,000.00 in the last week, with
a Friday close of $10,814. With each rebound in price relative to news, we see
more evidence that the concept of digital currency is taking root with investors
and the general public alike," says Warren Wang, Founder and CEO of CIIX. "In

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. hopes to satisfy the average person's curiosity about
cryptocurrency, including how to purchase Bitcoin. Moreover, the underlying
Blockchain Technology is extremely compelling and we expect to see many

Cannabis Companies Demonstrate the Diverse Nature of the Global Marijuana Market
New York, NY – September 28, 2017 –
NetworkNewsWire.com News
Coverage: The cannabidiol market
is large and diverse; just a few years ago, it was rather small but by 2015,
consumer sales had reached $202 million, according to the CBD Report published
by The Hemp Business Journal. Cannabidiol sales are expected to grow to over $2
billion by 2020. The dollar amounts and projections may seem impressive, but
they don’t tell the full story, as market demand is being
fueled by an increasing
number of applications. Medicinal marijuana is used to treat pain and
inflammation, nausea, anxiety and diseases such as epilepsy and glaucoma. The
medical community has also explored its cardiovascular health benefits and
potential to reduce the incidence of diabetes, help people with Alzheimer’s
disease and treat cancer.
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTC: CIIX) has added cannabis-based skincare
products to the mix, as well as a Yelp-style app where products can be reviewed
and discussed. It’s joined in the space by companies such as CV Sciences, Inc.
(OTC: CVSI), Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA), Terra Tech Corp. (OTC: TRTC)
and MassRoots, Inc. (OTC: MSRT).
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTC: CIIX)
is staking its position
in the market with several product lines, including hemp-infused skin care
products. Cannabis is known to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant
properties. The company noted the benefits in this area in an August 2017 press
release (http://nnw.fm/z9WPp). They include improvements to skin complexion,
thanks to the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids present in hemp seed oil. The
fatty acids help keep skin moist and stimulate collagen production, helping skin
to become firmer. In fact, the human endocannabinoid system includes cannabinoid
receptors in the skin.
A recent press release (http://nnw.fm/Tb3Bi) highlights the scope of the
company’s hemp-infused product line. CIIX’s wholly owned enterprise, CBD
Biotechnology Co. Ltd., has completed the record filing process with the China
FDA for the CBD Magic Hemp Series, a line of skin moisturizer, primer and
peptide collagen solutions. These cannabidiol-infused products employ the
antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits of CBD. The ability to sell these
products is good news for investors.
Alan Klitenic, Director of Investor Relations for CIIX, was recently featured in
an interview with SmallCapVoice.com (http://nnw.fm/flQB8) to discuss CIIX’s
hemp-infused skin care line, as well as other company achievements.
“…We have manufactured this product: CBD Infused skin care products line with a
design patent. This is a real milestone for us at ChineseInvestors.com. We are
going to spend money and promote our CBD Hemp Oil and CBD infused skin care
products in China going forward from now and thru 2018." He also noted that the
company is ready to start building distribution channels and begin retail sales,
online commerce, social media, and direct marketing initiatives to maximize
revenue and the value for shareholders.
Fully aware of the demand for medical cannabis, CIIX has worked to improve the
user experience as well. It has developed an investing process, known as the
ChineseInvestors Method, and introduced various web-based tools to disseminate
market information to investors. That puts investors on the front lines of
China’s $30 billion per year skin care product industry.
The company also developed and launched a Chinese-language social media app,
approved for download via the Apple App Store. It enables users to view,
discuss, and write reviews on cannabis strains and marijuana dispensaries.
People can use the application’s maps to find retailers, view business summary
reports and see product recommendations. Social media isn’t CIIX’s only
strategy, as a recent partnership with the digital agency Launch Haus LLC has
spawned a marketing campaign aimed at expanding CIIX’s direct-to-consumer
e-commerce business. It also appointed Keevin Gillespie as acting president of
ChineseHelpOil.com, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CIIX, to brand and
promote the OptHemp health product line.
As active as the company has been in the cannabis space, it is not the only
mover in a fast-growing and diversifying market.
Another company with a diverse product line is CV Sciences (OTCQB: CVSI). Its
pipeline consists of CVSI-007, a smokeless tobacco cessation product. The drug
candidate comes in the form of a chewing gum, which contains nicotine and
synthetic CBD. Consumer products already on the market include PlusCBD Oil, a
dietary supplement sold in capsules, sprays, balms, drops, concentrates and vape
liquid in nearly 1,000 retail locations. Vape blends are sold via CVSI’s
Purified Liquids store, while cannabinoids are sold wholesale to serve the
growing CBD wellness market. The company recently presented at the Natural
Products Expo East 2017, in Baltimore, Maryland, and the MJAC2017 InvestorsHub
International Cannabis Conference in Los Angeles, California.
The international cannabis market is also experiencing considerable growth, and
Medical Marijuana (OTC: MJNA) distinguishes itself as the first publicly traded
cannabis company in the U.S. and the first to introduce legal medical cannabis
in Brazil. Its e-commerce store sells numerous brands and categories of CBD oil,
including capsules, isolates, chewing gum, vape oil, vaporizer pens and body
lotions and creams. In addition to pen-type vaporizers, the company also sells
portable and tabletop units, as well as an electric dabbing system for
vaporizing medical concentrates. All products are sold as dietary supplements
rather than medical marijuana, so they can be purchased legally without doctor
recommendations.
Terra Tech (OTCQX: TRTC) supplies the medical cannabis market via brands such as
IVXX™, a cultivator and producer of different concentrates and other products,
and Edible Garden®, which uses Dutch hydroponic farming methods to produce
Global Food Safety Initiative-certified products, including a wide range of
herbs and leafy greens. The company therefore serves the food industry as well,
but it also specializes in high-grade medical cannabis that is produced at its
Blüm™ facility. In addition, Terra Tech’s MediFarm division manages the permit
application and procurement process for marijuana cultivators, while GrowOp
Technology designs and manufactures horticultural equipment and
automation/control software.
MassRoots (OTCQB: MSRT) offers an extremely diverse product line via its online
catalog. Searchable by plant type, flavors, effects, health conditions, and
manufacturer, it gives customers one of the most simple and comprehensive
sources of edibles, lotions, drops and more. The company’s website has an
educational article section plus a news page with frequent updates. Another
resource featured on the site is a local dispensary search function, but the
company also serves other businesses, providing a connection with point-of-sale
systems that enable retailers to display their inventory in real time and
provide customers with simple online ordering.
Cannabis companies are serving a fast-growing and diversifying market by various
means. The skincare and healthcare products and social app from
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (CIIX) are prime examples. The products and services
of the companies discussed above have become relevant in the current business
climate and show potential to keep pace with broader industry growth.

Cannabinoid Consumer Market Booming as CBD Enjoys Growth in Public Sentiment
New York, NY – September 21, 2017 –
NetworkNewsWire.com News
Coverage:
Medical cannabis sales are set to impress even the most timid investor, with
projected sales of nearly $5 billion in 2017, or
about
67% of the $7.2 billion legal cannabis market. Hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD)
product sales are also expected to be a billion-dollar business within three
years, growing at a projected 55% compound annual growth rate from 2016’s $170
million in revenue, according to an article in Forbes(1). As the cannabis
industry continues to flourish, many publicly traded companies are finding ample
opportunities to thrive. Standout companies determined to grow with the industry
include
ChineseInvestors.com (OTC: CIIX), CV Sciences, Inc. (OTC: CVSI),
Terra Tech Corp. (OTC: TRTC), Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA)
and Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP)
It’s worthwhile to note that significant changes in the acceptance of medical
and recreational marijuana also includes the alternative forms of CBD-infused
and hemp-derived products, which most people now understand do not contain THC,
the psychoactive compound found in marijuana. A massive amount of research into
the health benefits of CBD and its effect on mental health disorders is also
underway in the scientific community.
Branching out into the unique adaptations of the hemp oil business made perfect
business sense for
ChineseInvestors.com (OTC: CIIX) (www.ChineseInvestors.com),
a leading financial information website for Chinese-speaking consumers and
investors. CIIX has already established two wholly-owned subsidiaries based in
China and the United States. CBD Biotechnology Co., Ltd., located in the free
trade zone of Shanghai, China, has plans to deliver a hemp-infused skin care
line in China before the end of 2017, while ChineseHempOil.com, Inc., located in
the U.S., has launched its first hemp oil product line, “OptHemp.” Customers of
ChineseHempOil.com can also purchase the company’s hemp-based products, foods
and beverages using bitcoin (http://nnw.fm/w3pbB).
The company’s annual financial results, released Tuesday, show a 76% YoY
increase in revenues along with an array of new business ventures successfully
being introduced to investors.
Among its offerings is the first marijuana social media mobile app designed for
Chinese-speaking customers worldwide with a beta version slated for release in
November. Its direct-to-consumer e-commerce business is projecting a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of nearly 100% through FY2020, with revenues reaching
$14.8 million. CIIX is positioning itself as a global leader with a goal of
becoming the largest Chinese publicly traded company in the legalized CBD market
targeting the world’s Chinese-speaking communities (http://nnw.fm/yA6bN).
Another company seeking to make a difference in the rapidly expanding CBD
marketplace of cannabis-related products is CV Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB:
CVSI), a preeminent supplier and manufacturer of hemp-derived phytocannabinoids
including CBD oil. The company plans to exhibit its PlusCBD Oil ™ product brand
at the Natural Products Expo East September 14-16 in Baltimore, Maryland. The
trade show brings together over 28,000 industry professionals and 1,400
exhibitors. CV Sciences’ product brand is sold at approximately 1,300 health
food stores and continues to grow its shelf presence in various retail outlets
across the county. In a news release, company spokesman Stuart Tomc said, “It’s
evident that hemp-derived CBD products are doing better and growing faster than
almost every other category in the supplement industry (http://nnw.fm/H2kId).”
Terra Tech Corp. (OTCQX: TRTC), a vertically integrated, cannabis-focused
agriculture company, is also expanding its retail operations. Terra Tech Corp.
operates multiple dispensaries as well as cultivation and extraction facilities
in California and Nevada. Terra Tech CEO Derek Peterson said the company’s
recent acquisition of Tech Center Drive Management LLC, which operates The
Reserve OC medical cannabis dispensary in Santa Ana, California, represents
another milestone.
“California has emerged as one of the United States’ leading legal cannabis
markets, with adult-use planned to come online in 2018,” Peterson said in a news
release. “Terra Tech will continue to identify opportunities to expand both its
retail and cultivation capabilities in these core markets to drive forward our
growth strategy and build value for shareholders (http://cnw.fm/h42vC).”
Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA), the first-ever publicly
traded cannabis company in the United States, announced that August 2017 was the
company’s largest revenue month in its history. Its wholly owned subsidiaries
Kannaway® and HempMeds® Mexico also experienced the best revenue month in their
respective histories, Kannaway CEO Blake Schroeder said in a news release (http://cnw.fm/Evae6),
noting the company’s plans to launch a series of new products in Q4 2017 as it
gears up for its regional convention in Denver, Colorado, this fall. Expansion
plans for entering the European market are expected to contribute to the
company’s explosive growth, Schroeder added.
Making significant progress in its bid to be known as the world’s number one
industrial hemp producer and exporter, HEMP, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) has
appointed Dr. Robert Ian Bruck, director and founder of the North Carolina State
University Environmental Technology Program, as Dean of Hemp, Inc.’s Hemp
University. Bruck, who holds two doctorates and years of experience in the
fields of plant pathology and ecology, will be responsible for the management
and development of curriculum at The Hemp University. Educating not only the
public but public policy makers about the business and scientific aspects of
industrial hemp - from how to grow it to the many complexities of CBD - is a
critical element of moving the cannabis industry forward., according to a
company news release (http://cnw.fm/p1hbY).
While the demand for hemp-based cannabidiol has skyrocketed, so have the number
of companies jumping into the market, Marijuana Business Daily reports (http://nnw.fm/7ENhH).
There are now hundreds, if not thousands of hemp CBD companies flooding the
market looking to take advantage of the profits to be made in the global
cannabis industry. For companies like ChineseInvestors.com, which has been in
business since 1999, capitalizing on the convergence of CBD and the nutrition
and health products market in mainland China was a no-brainer.
In a news release (http://nnw.fm/OpHR2),
Keevin Gillespie, newly appointed acting president of the company’s
ChineseHempOil.com subsidiary, expressed his enthusiasm for the company’s
future.
“As the many potential health benefits of hemp continue to be revealed through
scientific research and development, I believe the Chinese community will
embrace this rediscovered ancient remedy,” Gillespie stated. “I look forward to
creating brand awareness and exposure for the Company’s ‘OptHemp’ product line,
developing the Company’s network marketing division and generating significant
new revenue streams for the Company in the coming year.”

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc.'s Wholly Owned Foreign Enterprise, CBD Biotechnology
Co. Ltd., Completes the Record Filing Process with the China FDA, Expects to
Launch its Hemp Infused Skin Care Line in October
SAN GABRIEL, California, September 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB:
CIIX) ('CIIX' or
the 'Company'), the premier financial information website for Chinese-speaking
investors, today announces that its wholly owned foreign enterprise, CBD
Biotechnology Co. Ltd., has completed the filing process with the China Food &
Drug Administration ("CFDA") for its first line of non-industrial hemp-infused
skin care products. The Company expects to launch the CBD Magic Hemp Series skin
care line in October positioning CBD Biotechnology as a leader in what it
believes to be an untapped segment of China's skin care industry.
The CBD Magic Hemp Series launch will include three (3) products:
• The CBDBIO TECH Brightening and Refreshing Moisturizer - intended to balance
the skin's moisture, while forming a protective, moisturizing layer;
• The CBDBIO TECH Perfecting Shield Primer - intended to even skin tone, while
covering fine lines and minimizing the look of pores; and
• The CBDBIO TECH Peptide Collagen Solution - intended to moisturize and firm
the skin, while smoothing fine lines, and reducing signs of aging.
The CBD Magic Hemp Series line is different from other skin care lines currently
available in China because the products are infused with hemp extract, otherwise
known as cannabidiol or CBD. CBD, a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
agent, has been widely used in skin care products in western countries for some
time. Although a catalogue provided by the CFDA entitled "Catalogue of Cosmetics
Raw Materials in Use (2015)" includes Cannabis Sativa Leaf Extract, CBD
Biotechnology is not aware of any other Chinese skin care manufacturers that
have entered this emerging market, setting the stage for CBD Biotechnology to
proudly take the lead with its innovative product line.
"I am very pleased to announce the upcoming launch of CBD Biotechnology's
hemp-infused skin care line, the CBD Magic Hemp Series," says Summer Yun, CEO of
CBD Biotechnology Co., Ltd. "We have not only completed the filing process with
CFDA, but we have also contracted with a large processing factory in Shanghai,
China, with over 14-years of experience in cosmetics production."
"China has one of the world's largest consumer markets for skin care products.
Retail sales of skincare products and make-up products in China reached 169.1
billion yuan and 28.3 billionyuan respectively in 2016, with year-over-year
growth of 5% and 12% respectively. Skin care is expected to reach 223.3 billion
yuan in 2021 with growth driven by rising awareness of skin health and
consumption upgrading Chinese consumers. As one of the first hemp infused skin
care brands in China, we are confident that CBD Biotechnology will lead Chinese
market, with potential for global expansion.

Innovative Cannabis Players Offer Promising Entry into Explosive Market
New York, NY – September 14, 2017 –
NetworkNewsWire.com News
Coverage: It is no secret that
the legal marijuana market is exploding in North America. Analysts have
predicted the cannabis market in the United States could reach $24.1 billion by
2025, and recent polls indicate 61 percent of Americans now believe marijuana
use should be federally legalized1.
Measures are currently
being taken in Canada to legalize recreational marijuana by 2018. On a global
scale, the worldwide cannabis market has been projected to reach up to $55.8
billion USD by 20252. A wide variety of players have been scrambling
to stake a claim in this booming market, whether through directly handling the
marijuana plant or by serving those who do. Unique standouts in this burgeoning
market include
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTC: CIIX), CV Sciences, Inc. (OTC:
CVSI), Terra Tech Corp. (OTC: TRTC), Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC:
MJNA) and Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP).
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTC: CIIX)
is tapping into a profitable niche market as it serves Chinese-speaking
consumers throughout the world and aims to become the largest publicly traded
Chinese medical marijuana company.
CIIX is focused on the research, development and distribution of legalized
cannabidiol (CBD) to the global Chinese-speaking community. Already one of the
fastest growing segments in the U.S. hemp and legal marijuana industry,
application of CBD is also gaining traction in China. CIIX operates an online
store in the free trade zone of Shanghai, China, where CBD sales are legal,
though marijuana use is not. CIIX also recently established, through its wholly
owned subsidiary ChineseHempOil.com, Inc., a club-style Hemp Education Center in
the company’s home market of San Gabriel, California, to educate interested
parties regarding the potential health benefits of non-industrial hemp and
hemp-derived CBD (http://nnw.fm/oV4Ga).
CIIX recently engaged Arizona-based Launch Haus LLC, a holding company that
specializes in digital direct-to-consumer marketing and product branding, to aid
in growing the company’s worldwide sales of hemp-based CBD products (http://nnw.fm/RVz21).
In June 2017, the company further incorporated CBD Biotechnology Inc. in British
Columbia, Canada, as part of its efforts to enter the medical marijuana market
there. Medical marijuana has been federally legal in Canada since 2001, and the
Canadian government is now making strides toward the national legalization of
recreational marijuana.
“The incorporation of CBD Biotechnology Inc. is a promising step forward toward
CIIX’s goals to enter the medical marijuana industry. Through its expansion into
Canada, CIIX aims to generate significant revenues through sales of CBD-based health products,
while helping the nearly one million Chinese in Canada to improve their overall
health,” Warren Wang, founder and CEO of CIIX, stated in a news release (http://nnw.fm/9y0Dc).
In December 2016, CIIX entered into a wholesale agreement with a well-known CBD
health brand and formally launched a website for its subsidiary,
ChineseCBDoil.com, which went live in January 2017. This launch marked the
introduction of the world’s first Chinese language online store for CBD health
products. At that same time, CIIX
debuted the first Chinese language Yelp-style social media
app where users can discuss and review cannabis services and products, as well
as find locations of dispensaries.
The company has built a widespread user base of more than 100,000
individuals, and it continues its focus on investing in both the R&D and
distribution of CBD products. Corporate objectives include plans to further its
study into the effectiveness of CBD for medicinal purposes in an effort to
become the first company in China to employ CBD oil as a means of mitigating the
suffering of epilepsy and Alzheimer’s patients. The application period for such
new drugs in China is only two to four years—significantly shorter than the time
it often takes companies to fulfill regulatory requirements in the United
States.
As CIIX continues to penetrate new markets, others are taking notice. Consilium
Global Research recently projected a CAGR of almost 100 percent for CIIX through
2026 (http://nnw.fm/e5EiK),
predicting revenues of up to $14.8 million.
Another standout cannabis player is CV Sciences, Inc. (CVSI), which
operates two distinct divisions: pharmaceuticals and consumer products. The
company’s pharmaceuticals division is focused on the development and
commercialization of novel therapeutics that utilize synthetic CBD. Its consumer
products division manufactures, markets and sells plant-based CBD products to
various market sectors, distributing these products nationally through the
Internet as well as through health food stores and health care provider offices.
The company’s divisions are backed by a medical and scientific advisory board,
as well as state-of-the-art production facilities, and its consumer products are
supported by formal safety reviews, increasing case reports and recommendations
from physicians. CV Sciences is pursuing FDA approval for drugs with particular
indications, featuring CBD as the active pharmaceutical ingredient, and the
company has achieved promising preclinical results. CV Sciences’ initial drug
candidate is CVSI-007, a chewing gum that contains nicotine and synthetic CBD to
aid individuals in quitting tobacco use and escaping addiction.
Vertically integrated, cannabis-focused agricultural company Terra Tech Corp.
(TRTC) is another interesting marijuana play, operating through various
subsidiaries including Blüm, IVXX Inc., Edible Garden and MediFarm LLC. Three of
these subsidiaries are cannabis-focused. Blüm operates retail and medical
cannabis facilities that deliver high-quality medical marijuana products to
patients seeking alternative treatments for chronic medical conditions, as well
as premium cannabis for Nevada’s adult-use market. IVXX, Inc. produces
cannabis-extracted products for regulated medical marijuana dispensaries
throughout California and adult-use and medical cannabis dispensaries in Nevada.
Under the IVXX brand, Terra Tech recently filed a patent with the U.S. Patent
and Trademark Office for cannabis-infused rolling papers, which are anticipated
to be released in 2018. The company’s MediFarm LLC subsidiaries are focused on
medical and adult-use cultivation and permitting businesses in Nevada.
Medical Marijuana, Inc. (MJNA) stood out as the first company to offer
hemp-based CBD products in the United States. The company accomplished this by
offering cannabis-derived products that exploit the health properties of
non-psychoactive cannabinoids, like CBD, which are legal in the U.S. The company
uses cannabis varieties (hemp) that are grown outside the U.S. and either have
very low tetrahydrocannabinol levels or no THC at all. Carefully cultivated CBD
hemp oil and hemp oil products, offering a full range of phytocannabinoids and
high CBD content, are created and then imported into the U.S. In addition to
being the first publicly traded cannabis company in the U.S., MJNA has stood out
as the first company to bring legal medical cannabis products to Mexico, Brazil,
Puerto Rico and Paraguay; the first company to offer government-subsidized
botanical cannabis-based products; the first company to deliver prescription CBD
products to treat epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, chronic pain and migraine;
the first company to deliver cannabis brands across U.S. state lines and
international borders; and more.
Hemp, Inc. (HEMP) is an industrial hemp-focused company that aims to
become a leader in the industrial hemp market through a portfolio of synergistic
businesses formed through purchase, acquisition or joint venture with companies
across various hemp industry sectors. Hemp, Inc.’s mission is to offer green
solutions through its hemp products, which are eco-friendly and can often be
used in place of petroleum-based products. The American hemp fiber industry has
been estimated at over $500 million, and a hemp crop is known to be more
economical and ecological than cotton or trees, reducing water, energy and
pesticide use. Hemp, Inc.’s products include DrillWall lost circulation material
for oil field drilling application and Spill-Be-Gone and SpillSuck for large-
and small-scale oil spill cleanup. The company is also developing SpillMaster
for offshore oil spill cleanup.
For investors seeking play in the cannabis market, the mentioned companies offer
intriguing and varied opportunities. As this burgeoning market continues its
forward drive, these companies may provide promising opportunities to climb
aboard.

Recent CIIX Coverage:
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. Announces Annual Financial Results, Posts 76% YoY
Increase in Revenues, and Comments on Recent Stock Price Volatility as it May
Relate to Recent News in the Digital Currency Industry
SAN GABRIEL, California, September 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB:
CIIX) ('CIIX' or
the 'Company'), the premier financial information website for Chinese-speaking
investors, today provides an update on its financial and business achievements
for the fiscal year of 2017, as well as its outlook for fiscal year 2018. At the
same time, Warren Wang, founder and CEO of CIIX, comments on the recent stock
price volatility as it may relate to recent news in the Digital Currency
Industry.
The fiscal year ended May 31, 2017 represents a significant milestone in the
Company's 18-year history as both its long established Financial Services/Media
Division, and the more recently established Consumer Division, have made
substantial progress this year.
Financial Highlights:
Filed form 10K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reflecting
significantly higher revenues for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017, as
compared to fiscal 2016 with total operating revenues increased by 76%.
Revenues from both the investor relations business and the subscription business
continued to grow this year, with an
increase of 130% and 57% respectively.
Financial Services Business Highlights:
Upgraded the US stocks live video platform and revealed details of real-money
trading conducted by all analysts to paid VIP subscribers.
Announced plans to launch a Cryptocurrency Education and Trading Subscription
Service and the first Chinese daily video news broadcast from the NYSE covering
digital currency and blockchain technology before the end of 2017.
Hemp Oil Business Highlights:
Established CBD Biotechnology Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned foreign enterprise in
Shanghai, China; appointed Summer Yun as Chief Executive Officer (CEO); and
announced plans to launch of its hemp-infused skin care line in China before end
of 2017.
Established ChineseHempOil.com, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary in the US;
launched its first hemp oil product line "OptHemp;" and appointed Keevin
Gillespie as President.
Engaged Launch Haus, LLC, a venture building firm and digital holding company
specializing in direct response marketing including digital, E-commerce and
direct sales channels.
Retained Buyopsy, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Launch Haus, LLC responsible
for handling direct to consumer implementations and staff augmentation, and its
Principal Chris J Snook (effective September 1, 2017) to provide day-to-day
leadership in growth and E-commerce for ChineseInvestors.com, Inc.,
ChineseHempOil.com and CBD Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
"I am very pleased about the Company's significant increase in revenue in the
fiscal year ended May 31, 2017," says Wang. "Although the blueprint of our
Company's business strategy has expanded through its entrance into the Hemp
Industry, our core subscription and investors relations services remain strong
with significant growth rates. I am thankful for the investors who have
supported our ongoing development plans and look forward to a prosperous year
ahead."
Looking forward, Wang states, "although the business of our Consumer Division is
still in the early stages, the recently launched 'OptHemp' product line is
gaining popularity among Chinese consumers in the US, and the Company's first
hemp-infused skin care product line will launch in China in the coming months.
We believe that through the efforts of our business strategists such as Buyopsy,
LLC and its principal Chris Snook, our E-commerce partners such as Elevated.com
and Quiverr.com, and our talented management team, we will generate substantial
revenues in FY 2018 via sales of our hemp-based products in the United States
and China. Our overall goal in 2018 is for the Company is to achieve annual
revenue growth of more than 100%, while cutting costs and achieving
profitability."
The Company recently announced that its Financial Services/Media Division will
also be providing ancillary services in the popular Digital Currency Industry.
Digital Currency has attracted a lot of attention in recent years from the
creation of Bitcoin, the world's first decentralized digital currency, to
blockchain technology, which allows digital currency to transfer value across
the globe without resorting to traditional intermediaries such as banks. This
industry has also created new phenomena such as currency mining, trading,
tender, and storage related businesses and has paved the way for companies such
as ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. to provide its educational subscription services
to the many market investors that see the unique opportunity that digital
currency poses and that desire to capitalize on this market opportunity. These
interested investors may not have a full understanding of the concept of digital
currency or access to the latest market news; therefore the Company sees this as
an opportunity to provide fundamental knowledge to Chinese speaking newcomers to
digital currency, including straightforward explanations of the basics of
digital currency, how to buy it and straightforward trading guidelines. For
those with digital currency experience, the Company will provide more detailed
information regarding currency mining, blockchain technology, stock trends and
ETFs. As part of its plan to enter the Digital Currency Industry, the Company
also recently announced its plans to launch a Chinese Daily Video News Broadcast
from the NYSE floor covering the Digital Currency Market.
"The Company is excited about the opportunity to enter the Digital Currency
Market as an ancillary service provider," says Wang. "Although the Company's
stock price may have recently been affected short term due to recent news in the
Digital Currency Industry, as an ancillary service provider the Company does not
anticipate that it will be affected long term by the ban prohibiting Chinese
exchanges from providing digital currency trading services, Chinese regulators'
efforts to limit the use of digital currencies, the recent release by Chinese
authorities declaring initial coin offerings ("ICOs") illegal in China, or the
US SEC's warnings that securities laws apply to ICOs. While these regulatory
measures and the recent global news surrounding digital currency exchanges may
slow the interest surrounding digital currency and ICOs, they may also make the
terrain more reliable and safer for investors. Moreover, with large investors
becoming more involved in the Digital Currency Market, we believe that the need
to overcome the limitations of digital currency exchanges has become imperative.
Although CIIX does not currently have plans for an ICO, we are excited about the
opportunity to expand our subscription services and media services division on
the opportunities that we expect to emerge from the Digital Currency Market."
"However, CIIX has neither set up a cryptocurrency exchange in China, nor raised
capital through an ICO. Some investors have a misunderstanding of our business,"
clarifies Wang.

Public Companies Taking Part in the Cryptocurrency Evolution
New York, NY – September 7, 2017 –
NetworkNewsWire.com News
Coverage: Experts say cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and Ethereum are
here to stay1 and could even someday eclipse hard cash2. Encryption techniques
regulate these digital currencies, which operate independent of governments and
central banks and are organized through an online network
known
as a blockchain. Bitcoin has really exploded in recent months, hitting record
highs in August 2017 that surpassed $4,000 per coin.3 On September 1, bitcoin
once again reached an all-time high, hitting $5,000 per coin on a major index.4
There is certainly money to be made in the booming bitcoin market, and savvy
companies like
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX), MGT Capital Investments, Inc.
(OTC: MGTI), Bitcoin Services, Inc. (OTC: BTSC), Bitcoin Investment Trust (OTC:
GBTC) and SinglePoint, Inc. (OTC: SING) are doing just that.
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) (
www.ChineseInvestors.com ), a
leading financial information website for Chinese-speaking investors, on August
14 announced the launch of a cryptocurrency education and trading subscription
service on the company’s premier financial website,
www.Chinesefn.com. Chinesefn.com offers
real-time market commentary, analysis, and educational services to
Chinese-speaking investors. The new cryptocurrency subscription service will
cover timely news, as well as analysis relating to all aspects of the emerging
digital currency landscape, including coverage of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin
and Ethereum, industry trends, price movement, sector-related stocks like ETFs,
and more.
CIIX’s new subscription service will serve Chinese-speaking investors who desire
to cash in on burgeoning bitcoin market opportunities but do not have a complete
understanding of the concept of digital currency or how the cryptocurrency
system works. Through its subscription service, CIIX plans to provide
Chinese-speaking cryptocurrency newcomers with essential knowledge, including
straightforward explanations regarding cryptocurrency basics, how to buy
cryptocurrency, and clear-cut information about trading guidelines. Through this
advanced education and trading subscription service, CIIX is striving to become
the premier Chinese educational source for digital currency news and
information.
This service is of particular importance as Chinese regulators recently
announced their ban on initial coin offerings (ICO) in the country, affecting
the way projects raise cash or other currencies through cryptocurrencies.
Authorities say they are
initially focusing their investigation on 60 major ICO platforms.
CIIX also recently announced plans to launch the very first Chinese daily video
news broadcast from the NYSE covering digital currency and blockchain technology
( http://nnw.fm/sHs7U ). These videos will be
produced by professional financial media company Wall Street Multimedia, an
independent news agency broadcasting from the NYSE and one of the first Chinese
media companies to cover trends and developments in the U.S. securities market.
Wall Street Multimedia is the only Chinese media outlet with the capabilities to
instantly and simultaneously access information from several major U.S. stock
exchanges and to conduct onsite interviews within those stock exchanges. It is
anticipated that the broadcasts will begin airing in October, providing timely
information and exclusive analysis regarding all aspects of the digital currency
world.
Additionally, CIIX in July announced that its wholly owned subsidiary,
Chinesehempoil.com Inc., had commenced acceptance of bitcoin payments, enabling
customers to purchase the company’s hemp-based health products, foods and
beverages using bitcoin ( http://nnw.fm/w3pbB
).
While bitcoin is a notable part of CIIX’s business plan, the company is also
focused on taking its share of the legal cannabis industry, which is forecast to
grow at a 27 percent CAGR through 2021 (
http://nnw.fm/n7jVK ). In 2016, CIIX started laying the groundwork to
capitalize on the growing demand for cannabidiol-based (CBD) nutrition and
health products, with a natural focus on Chinese-speaking markets. By the end of
2016, the company had begun implementing its plans for a new website and mobile
application in order to facilitate online distribution of CBD oils for the
booming global medical marijuana industry. While marijuana use is illegal in
China, cannabis-based oils, including hemp-based CBDs, are legal, thus opening a
potential market of nearly two billion people for CIIX.
The company also has a foothold in China’s burgeoning skin care industry with
its new line of cannabidiol-based skin care products. The company has filed a
record of its first line of hemp-infused skin care products with the China Food
and Drug Administration ( http://nnw.fm/3nlZM
) and expects to launch in the next couple months.
Another cryptocurrency-related play is MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (OTC: MGTI),
which is one of the largest U.S.-based bitcoin miners. The company has an
ongoing focus on an expansion model to significantly increase its crypto assets.
On September 1, MGTI announced it has increased a standing order with Bitmain
Technologies for S9 Antminer Mining rigs, increasing the number ordered to more
than 1,500. Shipment is anticipated to take place during 2017’s fourth quarter.
Following shipment and setup, and combined with MGTI’s currently operational
rigs, the company’s bitcoin mining operations are expected to deliver
approximately $1.4 million in monthly revenue, assuming present pricing and
difficulty rates. EBITDA from MGTI’s bitcoin mining operations is projected to
be $1.0 million per month, factoring in direct operating costs and prior to
amortization of notes payable.
Bitcoin Services, Inc. (OTC: BTSC) is another company engaged in mining bitcoin,
additionally developing and selling blockchain software. During the first
quarter of 2017, BTSC began mining its own cryptocurrency, known as Dash. The
company also recently created a new subsidiary, CryptoCapital Corp., which is a
cryptocurrency holding firm focused on acting as a catalyst for widespread
cryptocurrency adoption and innovation. An intention behind the creation of
CryptoCapital Corp. was the development of a cryptocurrency wallet that would
let users securely store multiple digital currencies all in one wallet.
Another standout cryptocurrency player is Bitcoin Investment Trust (OTCQX: GBTC),
which shines as the very first publicly quoted bitcoin investment vehicle. GBTC
enables investors to invest in digital currency without actually buying bitcoin.
A U.S.-based, open-ended grantor trust sponsored by Grayscale Investments,
Bitcoin Investment Trust is invested exclusively in bitcoin, and its shares are
the first publicly quoted securities to be solely invested in and derive value
from the price of bitcoin. Through Bitcoin Investment Trust, investors can gain
exposure to bitcoin’s price movement via a traditional investment vehicle
without the challenges associated with buying, storing and safeguarding bitcoin.
Bitcoin Investment Trust was named one of OTC Market Group’s “OTCQX Best 50” for
2017.
Due to their independence from banks and governments, cryptocurrency systems
have clear application in high-risk sectors, like America’s burgeoning cannabis
market. In the United States, while use of medical and recreational cannabis is
being legalized in various states, continued restrictions at the federal level
have made marijuana businesses largely “unbankable.” Without traditional banking
services available to them, most cannabis businesses are forced to conduct
cash-only transactions. While its core focus is executing an acquisition-based
growth strategy to increase its market potential and position in cannabis,
SinglePoint, Inc. (OTC: SING) is an early mover in leveraging bitcoin as a
remedy for broader banking challenges.
SinglePoint’s new bitcoin exchange, which is planned to debut in beta form in
November, will enable cannabis vendors to process debit and credit card
transactions without the cooperation of banks or the FDIC. SinglePoint’s KYC-AML-compliant,
proprietary solution will let marijuana consumers obtain bitcoin right at the
point of sale and make instant bitcoin-powered purchases using their cards.
Buyers can sign up before visiting a cannabis merchant or sign up at the point
of sale.
It is indeed an exciting time for investment in cryptocurrencies and in services
related to them, and experts predict longevity for these alternate currency
systems. For those seeking promising cryptocurrency-related play, the named
companies offer prime opportunities.

Announces Plans to Launch the First Chinese Daily Video News Broadcast from the
NYSE Covering Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Technology
SAN GABRIEL, California, August 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB:
CIIX) ('CIIX' or
the 'Company'), the premier financial information website for Chinese-speaking
investors, today announces its plans to launch the first Chinese daily video
news broadcast from the NYSE covering digital currency and blockchain
technology. The videos will be produced by Wall Street Multimedia ("WSM"), an
independent news agency located in the NYSE. The broadcasts, anticipated to
begin airing in October, will provide timely information and exclusive analysis
regarding all aspects of the emerging digital currency world, including specific
cryptocurrencies, such as 'bitcoin' and 'ethereum', industry trends, price
movement, blockchain technology, sector-related stocks and ETFs, etc.
"I have been following the progression of the cryptocurrency market closely
since 2014," says Warren Wang, Founder and CEO of CIIX. "Since January 2015, the
price of bitcoin has increased 500% from $200 to $1,000 in January 2017, and
recently spiked to a record high over $4,800. For example, during the Cyprus
bank crisis, the government imposed tax on savings accounts to make up for
losses on bank books. During this crisis, bitcoin reached nearly $1,000.
Recently, with bitcoin being recognized as an accepted payment method in Japan,
coupled with the limited quantities of bitcoin being issued in the market, the
price of bitcoin exceeded $4,000. As the cryptocurrency market continues to
grow, we believe this is the optimal time to launch our daily Chinese digital
currency news broadcast in conjunction with WSM from the NYSE."
Wall Street Multimedia, Inc. is a professional financial media company that
delivers information on the global financial markets to Chinese audiences
globally. As one of the first Chinese media companies to cover trends and
developments in
the U.S. securities market, WSM has established relationships with the major
U.S. stock exchanges dating back many years. As a result, WSM is the only
Chinese media outlet that can instantly access information from several major
U.S. stock exchanges simultaneously and has the ability to conduct on-site
interviews in those stock exchanges, including the NYSE, the NASDAQ, the

Industry Movers Riding the Wave of Bitcoin’s Increasing Value
New York, NY – August 24, 2017 –
NetworkNewsWire.com News
Coverage: Bitcoin’s recent climb above the $4,500 mark is just one
example of how its market capitalization continues to gain unprecedented reach.
( http://nnw.fm/lGp8V ) From
cannabis
to technology, bitcoin has impacted industries far and wide, but analysts
believe that the cryptocurrency isn’t done climbing. A Goldman Sachs analyst
recently predicted bitcoin could soon go for as high as $4,800.
ChineseInvestors.com
Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) is one business taking advantage of bitcoin’s success
by setting up bitcoin payment acceptance through its wholly owned subsidiary,
Chinesehempoil.com Inc. ( http://nnw.fm/2ZjlL
). SinglePoint, Inc. (OTC: SING) also continues to develop its bitcoin cannabis
payment solutions, while technology company NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA),
graphics cards maker Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD), and bitcoin
investment vehicle Bitcoin Investment Trust (OTC: GBTC) occupy their own unique
positions.
ChineseInvestors.com Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX), in July 2017, announced that
its Chinesehempoil.com subsidiary was ready to accept bitcoin payments, in
addition to more common payment methods such as debit cards and PayPal, in order
to enable consumers to purchase its hemp-based health products online. The move
marked CIIX’s official entrance into the burgeoning digital currency market and
enabled the company to offer its customers a heightened level of cost savings,
privacy and ease of use.
By August, CIIX took its knowledge of bitcoin a step further. On par with its
core operation as a provider of financial information, CIIX launched its
cryptocurrency education and trading subscription service on Chinesefn.com, its
dynamic financial website that provides real-time market commentary; analysis
related to digital currency, trends and stocks; and education-related services
to Chinese-speaking investors. The subscription service covers a spectrum of
vital cryptocurrency data, including news, analysis, industry trends, price
movement, sector related stocks and ETFs, and more (
http://nnw.fm/OC7Cd ).
ChineseInvestors.com Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX), CEO, Warren Wang, in the press
release announcing the new service (
http://nnw.fm/Ifd3E ), described why providing this information to the
Chinese-speaking population represents a significant market opportunity.
“With the use and trading of cryptocurrencies on the rise in Asia, it appears
that a much wider adoption of digital assets may be right around the corner.
With an estimated 85% market share, China is one of the dominant players
controlling
bitcoin volume, along with Japan (which recently legalized bitcoin as a form of
payment) and the United States,” he explained. “While many see the unique
opportunity that cryptocurrency poses for investors and desire to capitalize on
this market opportunity, they may not have a full understanding of the concept
of digital currency or how the system works. CIIX intends to provide fundamental
knowledge to Chinese speaking newcomers to cryptocurrency, including
straightforward explanations of the basics of cryptocurrency, how to buy it and
straightforward trading guidelines. For those with cryptocurrency experience,
the Company will provide more detailed information regarding currency mining,
blockchain technology, stock trends and ETFs. Through its innovative
cryptocurrency education and trading subscription service, the Company endeavors
to be the leading Chinese educational site providing up to date news and
information on digital currencies.”
Headquartered in Los Angeles with offices in New York City and Shanghai, CIIX
continues to grow its core as a specialized investment services company with a
100,000+ user base, providing consultation, advertising, and public relations
services to China-based companies.
SinglePoint, Inc. (OTC: SING) is another cannabis industry leader
participating in the cryptocurrency phenomenon. In June 2017, the company closed
a round of funding ( http://nnw.fm/7RT7g )
with an investor to support a bitcoin payments solution that was implemented in
partnership with First Bitcoin Capital. By adding bitcoin payments to its
diverse portfolio, SinglePoint is helping the cannabis industry - as well as
other high-risk industries – overcome the challenges stemming from a lack of
adequate banking access. SinglePoint also recently purchased $Weed from First
Bitcoin Capital, a new currency in the market (
http://nnw.fm/C5zDj ). WeedCoin is curretly listed on three exchanges, and
SinglePoint said it intends to list and market the currency on more exchanges
moving forward.
Taking a step backward in the cryptocurrency process helps to understand these
investment options in the alternative currency market. California-based graphics
chip manufacturer and technology company NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA),
participates in the digital currency market by providing chips used for
cryptocurrency mining. While there are numerous other uses for its chips,
bitcoin miners favor graphics processing units to create new cryptocurrency
units. According to several industry reports, this demand helped push sales of
Nvidia’s graphics card line 52% higher to $1.2 billion in the second quarter.
Likewise, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD) is benefitting from demand
for its graphics card by cryptocurrency miners. In June, the chipmaker told CNBC
that demand for its graphics cards was fueled by the "newly resurgent
cryptocurrency mining markets” (
http://nnw.fm/gbPL6 ). Earlier this week Advanced Micro Devices revealed
details of its “Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition Beta for Blockchain
Compute” driver ( http://nnw.fm/ObGa5 ),
created to help boost the efficiency of cryptocurrency mining rigs. The
beta-level driver targets graphics processors that are used for mining, or a way
that new transactions are added to blockchains, addressing the demand for
processors used by those tapping into the cryptocurrency market.
The growth and potential of bitcoin is further evidenced by Bitcoin Investment
Trust (OTCQX: GBTC), which enables investors to gain exposure to bitcoin’s price
movement through a traditional investment vehicle without the challenges of
buying, storing and safekeeping bitcoin. The U.S.-based, open-ended grantor
trust is invested exclusively in bitcoin, and its shares are the first publicly
quoted securities solely invested in and deriving value from the price of
bitcoin. Bitcoin Investment Trust was recently named to OTC Markets Group’s
“OTCQX Best 50” for 2017. Bitcoin digital currency has already been named an
official method of payment in Japan, and it is being accepted by more and more
major retailers in the United States, furthering the acceptance of bitcoin’s
presence as a valid payment method.
Market analysts continue to predict increases in bitcoin and digital currency in
general. Cryptocurrency payments have benefited businesses and consumers in the
cannabis products industry and in the graphics cards markets, driving growth in
both sectors. Current trends show that it is also opening the door to markets
worldwide, especially in the United States and China, with little signs of
slowing down. This is true if pricing is any indication; bitcoin recently surged
past $4,500.

Announces the Launch of its Cryptocurrency Education and Trading Subscription
Service on Chinesefn.com
SAN GABRIEL, California, August 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB:
CIIX) ('CIIX' or
the 'Company'), the premier financial information website for Chinese-speaking
investors, today announces the launch of its cryptocurrency education and
trading subscription service on Chinesefn.com, the Company's dynamic financial
website that provides real-time market commentary, analysis, and educational
related services to Chinese-speaking investors. The new subscription service
will cover timely news and will provide analysis regarding all aspects of the
emerging digital currency world, including coverage of cryptocurrencies
including bitcoin and ethereum, industry trends, price movement, sector related
stocks and ETFs, etc.
Cryptocurrency has attracted a lot of attention in recent years from the
creation of bitcoin, the world's first decentralized digital currency to
blockchain technology, which allows cryptocurrency to transfer value across the
globe without resorting to traditional intermediaries such as banks. The ability
to transfer value solely through software is a huge breakthrough.
The cryptocurrency market has also created new phenomena such as currency
mining, trading, tender, and storage. At the same time, it has significantly
impacted industries such as cybersecurity, cloud computing and storage, and
semiconductors.
"Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin have become a global phenomenon," says Warren
Wang, Founder and CEO of CIIX. "Since January 2015, the price of Bitcoin has
increased 500% from $200 to $1,000 in January 2017, and just spiked to a record
high over $4,000 as US-North Korea tensions escalated. Likewise, ethereum has
surged from less than $10 to more than $300 this year.
With the use and trading of cryptocurrencies on the rise in Asia, it appears
that a much wider adoption of digital assets may be right around the corner.
With an estimated 85% market share, China is one of the dominant players
controlling bitcoin volume, along with Japan (which recently legalized bitcoin

Senate Appropriations Committee Action Adds Fuel to the Fire for Businesses in
the Legal Cannabis Space
New York, NY – August 2, 2017 –
NetworkNewsWire.com News
Coverage: Proponents of legal cannabis celebrated a victory on July
27. By voice vote, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved a budget bill
amendment that prevents
the
federal government from interfering in medical marijuana programs in states
where cannabis has been legalized for medical use1. This event represents one
more step forward as legal cannabis companies like
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTC: CIIX), Terra Tech Corp. (OTC: TRTC),
Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA), Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTC:
MOCA) and SinglePoint, Inc. (OTC: SING) solidify their footholds in the
marketplace.
The amendment to the “2018 Commerce, Justice and Science Appropriations Bill”
bars the Department of Justice from using federal funds to keep states from
implementing their own laws that allow the use, distribution, possession or
cultivation of medical marijuana. In other words, the DOJ is prohibited from
investigating medical marijuana cases or enforcing federal marijuana laws in
states where cannabis has been legalized for medical use.
Both legal and public views on marijuana continue shifting toward the “pro” side
of the debate. A recent Gallup poll reported that 60 percent of Americans now
support the legalization of marijuana2, while an April 2017 poll conducted by
CBS3 showed 88 percent of Americans are in favor of legalizing medical
marijuana.
In light of this increasingly favorable landscape, market momentum is strong for
cannabis companies and investors looking for play in the legal marijuana market
have ample opportunity.
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTC: CIIX), for instance, presents a
prime investment prospect as it works toward its goal of becoming the world’s
leading publicly traded Chinese medical cannabis company.
The presence of CIIX is growing steadily as the company continues diversifying
its cannabis market entry points. One of the company’s key focuses at present is
investing in the distribution and R&D of cannabidiol-based (CBD) health products
and medicines to Chinese-speaking consumers.
In recent company news, CIIX’s wholly owned foreign enterprise, CBD
Biotechnology Co. Ltd., officially filed a record of its first line of
non-industrial hemp-infused skincare products, called the CBD Magic Hemp Series,
with the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA). The product line is expected
to be launched between late August and early September 2017, and CBD
Biotechnology believes it to be the very first line of non-industrial,
hemp-infused skincare products in China. This will position CBD Biotechnology as
a first-mover in a virtually untapped area of China’s skincare industry.
While marijuana is currently illegal in China, cannabis-based oils are not,
which gives CIIX promising access to a market of almost 2 billion consumers in
that country.
Another recent milestone for CIIX has been the creation of a Hemp Education
Center in San Gabriel, California, established by the company’s wholly owned
subsidiary ChineseHempOil.com, Inc. The club-style facility is at the center of
the thriving Chinese-speaking community in San Gabriel. Through it, the company
plans to deliver valuable information for those desiring to learn more about the
potential health benefits of non-industrial hemp and hemp-derived CBD and to
bolster awareness about non-industrial hemp, which is rooted in ancient Chinese
medicine. The activities and events hosted at the Hemp Education Center will
coincide with efforts to bolster CIIX’s local advertising presence and brand
awareness development and to help further publicize the company’s hemp and
hemp-derived CBD products.
CIIX is also preparing to open its first retail store in San Gabriel, which will
be among the first establishments to sell the company’s new OptHemp health
product line.
In addition to its activities in China and the United States, CIIX is expanding
its presence in other countries and recently incorporated CBD Biotechnology Inc.
in British Columbia, Canada, to focus on the R&D and distribution of health
products in Canada, including hemp-based CBD, food products and beverage items.
CIIX’s wholly owned Chinesehempoil.com, Inc. subsidiary is now officially
accepting bitcoin payments, allowing customers to buy hemp-based products
through non-cash transactions in areas where banking options are limited due to
government restrictions, as they currently are in the U.S. The company also
launched ChineseCBDoil.com in December 2016 in the free-trade zone of Shanghai,
China, marking the first CBD health products online store to be offered in the
Chinese language. Concurrent with that launch was the debut of the very first
Chinese language Yelp-style social media app, also launched by CIIX.
While the underlying cannabis market is projected to grow at a rate of 80
percent, CIIX was predicted to grow at a CAGR of about 100 percent through 2020
and attain revenues of $14.8 million by fiscal year 2020, according to a May
2017 research report issued by Consilium Global Research (http://nnw.fm/a13sJ).
Other companies that are budding with promise in the legal marijuana market
include Terra Tech (OTCQX: TRTC). A vertically integrated agriculture company,
Terra Tech has multiple subsidiaries in the medical marijuana space and is
focused on consistently cultivating and providing high-quality medical marijuana
to qualified, registered medical marijuana businesses along with supporting
research that will lead to the cultivation and cross-breeding of marijuana
strains to treat various medical conditions. Terra Tech recently obtained its
Dual Use Marijuana business licenses from the state of Nevada, which enabled
adult-use cannabis sales to commence at its four Blüm cannabis dispensaries.
Another promising bloomer in the medical cannabis space is Medical Marijuana
(OTC: MJNA), which stood out as the very first company to offer hemp-based CBD
products in the U.S., doing so legally despite current federal cannabis
restrictions. MJNA offers high-quality cannabis-derived products that utilize
the health properties of non-psychoactive cannabinoids like CBD, possessing a
variety of potential health applications while being free of
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The company’s low- and non-THC cannabis varieties
(hemp) are grown outside of the U.S., and then MJNA’s carefully cultivated CBD
hemp oil and hemp oil products are imported into the U.S., where they are fully
legal due to their lack of psychoactive properties. Free of THC or containing
only insignificant amounts, CBD hemp oil offers a full spectrum of
phytocannabinoids with high CBD content.
MJNA products currently include pure CBD oil; CBD oil capsules; CBD oil chewing
gum; CBD oil tinctures, sprays and liquids; CBD vaporizers, vape oil and
vaporizer pens; and hemp oil body care products. The company is successfully
offering its legal hemp-based CBD products in various countries, including
Mexico, Brazil and locations in Europe.
Innovative cannabis and hemp corporation Marijuana Company of America (OTC: MCOA)
is another recognized play, engaged in the marketing and distribution of hemp to
give investors a chance to be at the vanguard of cannabis and hemp innovation,
cultivation, processing and distribution. Through its vertically integrated
business model, MCOA and its partners are ideally positioned for rapid growth.
The company’s portfolio of brands, investments and joint ventures includes
hempSMART, Club Harmoneous, Bougainville, GateC Research, and MoneyTrac
Technology. MCOA recently completed an investment of $250,000 into MoneyTrac
Technology, Inc., a subsidiary of Global Payout, Inc. (OTC PINK: GOHE), in
exchange for 15 percent ownership interest. This investment was made to help
establish and market MoneyTrac Technology as an alternative banking solution for
the marijuana industry.
MCOA, through its wholly owned subsidiary H Smart, Inc., also recently
successfully filed for a full non-provisional U.S. patent for its proprietary
formulation of hempSMART Brain, which was developed to bolster brain function
and health while featuring CBD as its core ingredient.
Another marijuana-related company rapidly making a name for itself in the
marketplace is
SinglePoint (SING) SinglePoint provides a diversified investment
opportunity within the legal cannabis space without ever touching the plant, and
the company is starting to demonstrate its ability to generate revenues through
strategic acquisitions. Among its services to legal cannabis businesses,
SinglePoint operates www.SingleSeed.com through its SingleSeed subsidiary.
SingleSeed.com has become a premier hub for cannabis dispensaries that are
looking for merchant payment processing solutions and other business tools,
providing them with payment processing and text message marketing solutions.
SinglePoint is also developing a proprietary bitcoin payment solution to enable
currently “unbankable” cannabis businesses to conduct non-cash transactions. The
company closed a $1 million company-friendly Convertible Promissory Note with an
institutional investor in June with the intention to use proceeds from the
investment to support its bitcoin solution, and SinglePoint continues actively
planning and executing strategic acquisitions in the cannabis space. The company
recently acquired 90 percent ownership of Discount Indoor Garden Supply (DIGS),
which, among its products and services, offers hydroponic products and
consulting services to marijuana growers. SinglePoint further invested in
Convectium earlier this year and, through that company, is engaged in offering
equipment, branding and packaging solutions to the cannabis industry.
Continued legal victories and a turning tide of public opinion are adding fuel
to the already blazing fire of the legal marijuana market. The named companies
offer intriguing investment opportunities for those seeking promising play in
this burgeoning market.

Investment Options in the
Multi-Billion Dollar Medical Marijuana Industry
New York, NY – July 26, 2017 –
NetworkNewsWire.com News
Coverage: Mounting research from around the world suggests marijuana’s
potential to treat multiple medical conditions ranging from chronic pain to
cancer, epilepsy, HIV/AIDS,
anxiety
and more. Predicted to reach $55.8 billion by 20251, the global medical
marijuana industry presents to investors a wide array of investment
opportunities, driven by increasing demand for therapeutic applications of the
drug. In turn, funds raised through the public market give marijuana companies
the chance to raise capital to build stronger portfolios, increase their market
reach and revenue, and offer cannabis-based alternatives to traditional
medicine. Companies such as
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX), Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC:
MJNA), CV Sciences, Inc. (OTC: CVSI), Terra Tech Corp. (OTC: TRTC), and
Marijuana Company of America, Inc. (OTC: MCOA) are operating in the medical
marijuana scene and are steadily building a strong reputation as leading
providers of cannabis-based health and wellness products and services.
Created as a premier source of financial information for Chinese-speaking
investors,
ChineseInvestors.com (OTCQB: CIIX) is carving for itself a hefty portion
of the cannabis market through diversified entry points. Adding to its current
operations, CIIX earlier this week announced (http://nnw.fm/3nlZM) its entry
into China’s skincare industry though the impending launch of a new line of
cannabidiol-based skincare products.
“Although ancient Chinese recognized the medicinal properties of the cannabis
plant, CBD extract appears to be largely unrecognized in China today for its
benefits, including but not limited to, its potential benefits to the largest
visible human organ, the skin. The effects of increased air pollution on the
human body are a growing concern for many in China. With regard to our skin,
toxins in air pollution promote the production of free radicals, causing
premature aging including coarse wrinkles and dark spots. However, some
dermatologists believe that the anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory agents in
CBD can potentially have anti-aging effects on the skin,” the company stated in
the press release.
The opportunity here is significant, as you look at the broader market. China is
currently the second largest consumer of skincare products, generating annual
retail sales of more than $29.6 billion2. Research from ReportLinker estimates
that Chinese skincare product retail sales will reach $36.3 billion this year.
The CBD Magic Hemp Series, to be launched by early September by CIIX’s
wholly-owned CBD Biotechnology Co. Ltd. subsidiary (http://nnw.fm/VC7oZ), will
position CIIX as a first mover in this previously untapped sector of the Chinese
skincare industry. CIIX has filed a record of the product line with the Chinese
Food and Drug Administration, and the company anticipates capturing “100% of
China’s market share in this novel skin care products category,” since, to its
knowledge, other manufacturers have not yet entered the cannabis skincare
product market in China.
Again targeting an untapped niche of the marijuana market, CIIX operates the
first Chinese-language online store selling cannabidiol (CBD) products. In
December 2016, CIIX launched www.ChineseCBDoil.com in Shanghai, catering to a
growing audience of Chinese people interested in the benefits of CBD-based
products for the treatment of various medical
conditions such as stress, anxiety, Alzheimer’s disease, and others. In
conjunction with the launch of the website, CIIX introduced the first Yelp-style
social media app in Chinese. The app, approved by the Apple store, is a platform
for reviews and discussions about cannabis products and provides a comprehensive
database of dispensaries and marijuana strains, all in the Chinese language.
CIIX is also getting ready to open its first retail store, primarily targeting
the Chinese community in San Gabriel, California. The store will sell the
company’s new OptHemp product line, launched by subsidiary ChineseHempOil.com,
Inc., to treat pain and inflammation. In July, CIIX announced (http://nnw.fm/6ThNn)
that www.ChineseHempOil.com will accept bitcoin payments for its health
products, food and beverages.
Another recognizable marijuana company focused on market firsts is Medical
Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA). MJNA was the first publicly-traded marijuana
company in the United States; the first to make cannabidiol available
domestically and abroad; and the first to establish a global CBD pipeline that
made beneficial cannabinoid products available to people all over the world. In
addition to establishing an international CBD pipeline, providing support
services to the cannabis industry and working to develop new markets, MJNA is
focusing on the development and distribution of CBD hemp oil health products
such as HempMeds® and Kannaway®, in addition to developing cannabis medication
via subsidiaries AXIM Biotechnologies, Kannalife™ Sciences, and HempMeds®. The
companies are looking into different delivery methods for marijuana-based
therapies and are targeting a wide range of conditions including Alzheimer’s,
Parkinson’s, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, cancer, chronic pain and more.
Medical marijuana player CV Sciences (OTCQB: CVSI) operates its corner of the
market via two different business segments: pharmaceuticals and consumer
products. Its pharmaceutical division is developing synthetic CBD-based
medicines for various medical conditions, with approval of the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration. Its pipeline currently includes a CBD-based product
designed to support cessation of tobacco addiction. The consumer products
division manufactures and distributes plant-based CBD products designed to
enhance quality of life. CVSI’s flagship consumer products, PlusCBD Oil and
Purified Liquids vaping blends, are already distributed nationwide via health
care providers, health food stores and online.
Terra Tech (OTCQX: TRTC) is a vertically-integrated cannabis agriculture company
that owns multiple subsidiaries in the medical marijuana space. One of these
subsidiaries is Blüm™, a retail medical cannabis company that provides medical
cannabis as an alternative treatment for patients with chronic conditions. Also
offering cannabis to the adult-use market in Nevada, where the sale of marijuana
for recreational purposes is legal, Blüm offers recreational and medicinal
consumer products such as flowers and concentrates produced according to the
highest standards of potency and purity. Terra Tech is committed to cultivating
only high-quality medical marijuana and providing it to qualified and registered
medical marijuana establishments throughout the United States. At the same time,
the company is continuing research to cultivate and cross-breed medical
marijuana strains for the treatment of many different medical conditions.
As demand for medical marijuana grows, so too does the need for grow space.
Marijuana Company of America (OTC: MCOA) is primarily focused on the marketing
and distribution of hemp via a diverse portfolio of companies, brands, joint
ventures and investments such as hempSMART, Club Harmoneous, GateC Research,
Bougainville and MoneyTrac Technology. The company earlier this month said it
has received financing that it will use to develop a state-of-the-art
30,000-square-foot greenhouse grow facility in Oroville, Washington, with
joint-venture partner Bougainville Ventures, Inc. At full capacity, the facility
is expected to accommodate cannabis production and processing of its tenant, a
Tier 3, I-502 licensed grower. MCOA said it plans to replicate this business
model to build its real estate portfolio and increase revenues.
These public companies, expanding their market reach and brand recognition in
their respective niches of the medical marijuana market, provide ample
opportunities for investors looking for an entrance into the booming medical
marijuana market. Proponents of marijuana for medical purposes point to a
growing number of studies that confirm the health benefits of cannabis, setting
the industry on track to continue its strong performance and become a key
industry and engine of economic growth.

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc.'s
Subsidiary Files Record of its First Hemp-Infused Skin Care Line With China FDA
SAN GABRIEL, California, July 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB:
CIIX) ('CIIX' or
the 'Company'), the premier financial information website for Chinese-speaking
investors, today announces that its wholly-owned foreign enterprise, CBD
Biotechnology Co. Ltd., has officially filed a record of its first line of
non-industrial hemp-infused skin care products with the China Food and Drug
Administration (CFDA). The new 'CBD Magic Hemp Series' skin care line is
expected to launch between late August and early September 2017, positioning CBD
Biotechnology as a first-mover in an untapped segment of China's skin care
industry.
CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive cannabis compound. Although ancient
Chinese recognized the medicinal properties of the cannabis plant, CBD extract
appears to be largely unrecognized in China today for its benefits, including
but not
limited to, its potential benefits to the largest visible human organ, the skin.
The effects of increased air pollution on the human body are a growing concern
for many in China. With regard to our skin, toxins in air pollution promote the
production of free radicals, causing premature aging including coarse wrinkles
and dark spots. However, some dermatologists believe that the anti-oxidants and
anti-inflammatory agents in CBD can potentially have anti-aging effects on the
skin.
Recognizing the untapped market potential, CBD Biotechnology is developing and
manufacturing what it believes to be the first line of non-industrial
hemp-infused skin care products in China in hopes of educating the Chinese
population on the potential benefits of CBD for skin care.
"I am very pleased to announce the upcoming launch of CBD Biotechnology's
non-industrial hemp-infused skin care line," says Summer Yun, CEO of CBD
Biotechnology Co., Ltd. "As one of the first skin care products containing CBD
extract marketed in China, CBD Magic Hemp Series expects to capture 100% of
China's market share in this novel skin care products category. Although a
catalogue published by the CFDA, indicates that cannabis sativa leaf extract can
legally be added to skin care products, it appears that Chinese skin care
manufacturers have not yet entered this market, enabling CBD Biotechnology's
skin care products to proudly take the lead with its innovative product line."
The 'CBD Magic Hemp Series' will include:
- The CBD Peptide Collagen Solution - intended to moisturize and firm the skin,
while smoothing fine lines, and preventing premature aging;
- The CBD Perfecting Shield Primer - intended to even skin tone, while covering
fine lines and minimizing the look of pores; and
- The CBD Brightening and Refreshing Moisturizer - intended to balance the
skin's moisture, while forming a protective, moisturizing layer.
"Consumption of skin care products per capita in China has increased from 169
Chinese Yuan Renminbi ("CNY") to 352CNY during the last five years," says Yun.
"China has the world's second largest consumer market for skin care products,
with its current market size already exceeding 300 billion CNY. The CARG
(compound annual growth rate) of the skin care products market in China is 9.1%,
more than double the global average of 4.1%. CBD Biotechnology will benefit from
this large consumer market in China becoming one of the first companies in China
to infuse its skin care products CBD extracted from non-industrial hemp."

5 Standout Legal Cannabis Companies Worthy of Consideration
New York, NY – July 20, 2017 –
NetworkNewsWire.com News
Coverage: The legal marijuana market continues to gain momentum,
driven by increasing public acceptance and an increasing number of investors
looking for viable opportunities on a crowded playing field. According to a
recent Gallup poll1, 60 percent of Americans now support the legalization of
marijuana. As the playing field continues to grow in diversification and size,
some of the most recognizable and frequently seen names are
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTC: CIIX), Terra Tech Corp. (OTC: TRTC),
Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC:
MJNA),
Marijuana Company of America, Inc. (OTC: MCOA) and CV Sciences, Inc. (OTC: CVSI).
The market presence of
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTC: CIIX) is increasing significantly as
the company continues to diversify its entry points into the cannabis space.
CIIX aims to become the world’s leading publicly traded Chinese medical cannabis
company and is focused on investing in the distribution and R&D of cannabidiol-based
(CBD) health products and medicines to Chinese-speaking customers throughout the
world.
Though marijuana is currently illegal in China, cannabis-based oils are not,
which gives CIIX prime access to a market of almost 2 billion customers in
China. Additionally, CIIX is expanding its footprint to other countries, having
recently incorporated CBD Biotechnology Inc. in British Columbia, Canada. This
subsidiary will focus on R&D and distribution of health products that include
hemp-based CBD, food and beverage items in Canada.
Recently, CIIX released ( http://nnw.fm/w3pbB
) news that its wholly owned Chinesehempoil.com, Inc. subsidiary will now
officially accept bitcoin payments, enabling customers purchasing hemp-based
health products, foods and beverages to use bitcoin alongside other more common
payment methods like PayPal and credit cards. This will enable cannabis
customers to complete non-cash transactions in countries with government
restrictions in place that limit banking options for cannabis businesses, like
the United States.
CIIX is additionally readying its first retail store to open for business in the
primarily Chinese community of San Gabriel, California. This store will be among
the first to offer CIIX’s new OptHemp health product line, which includes the
company’s first private label product, OptHemp Ultra Premium Hemp Oil. OptHemp
has been launched by Chinesehempoil.com and is crafted using a formula that has
been optimized for management of inflammation and pain. It is GMO-free and is
grown in organic farms in Colorado using a CO2 extraction technology.
The December 2016 launch of the ChineseCBDoil.com website in the free-trade zone
of Shanghai, China, was another CIIX milestone. This site is the first CBD
health products online store to be offered in the Chinese language, and,
alongside its launch, the company additionally introduced the first Chinese
language Yelp-style social media app, which offers a database of cannabis
dispensaries and marijuana strains along with a platform for reviewing and
discussing cannabis products, maps of dispensary locations and more. The app has
been approved by the Apple store.
A May 2017 research report issued by Consilium Global Research (http://nnw.fm/a13sJ)
projected that CIIX will grow at a CAGR of about 100 percent through 2020 and
that the company will attain revenues of $14.8 million by fiscal year 2020,
while the underlying market is expected to grow at a rate of 80 percent.
Another promising legal cannabis play is Terra Tech Corp. (OTCQX: TRTC), a
vertically integrated agriculture company with multiple subsidiaries in the
medical cannabis space. The company’s focus is on consistently cultivating and
providing high-quality medical marijuana to qualified, registered medical
marijuana establishments while furthering researching in the medical cannabis
industry to eventuate the cultivation and cross-breeding of marijuana strains
that can treat various ailments. Terra Tech is uniquely positioned to operate
safe and successful medical marijuana cultivation facilities throughout the
United States as cannabis use approval advances across the country. The company
recently received its Dual Use Marijuana business licenses from the state of
Nevada, enabling its four Blüm cannabis dispensaries in that state to begin
adult-use cannabis sales.
Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA) is distinguished as the first company to
have made hemp-based CBD products available in the U.S. and globally, having
found legal means of offering these products in the U.S. despite federal
restrictions on cannabis. MJNA is providing high-quality cannabis-derived
products that feature non-psychoactive cannabinoids like CBD, which boasts
various potential health applications independent of reliance on
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Going outside the U.S. to grow low-THC varieties of
cannabis (hemp), MJNA offers CBD hemp oil from carefully cultivated hemp plants
and imports it into the U.S. CBD hemp oil is fully legal in the U.S. and is
non-psychoactive, containing a full spectrum of phytocannabinoids and high CBD
content with almost no THC. MJNA’s products include pure CBD oil, oil capsules,
oil chewing gum, oil tinctures, sprays and liquids, as well as CBD vaporizers,
vape oil, vaporizer pens, and hemp oil body care. In addition to MJNA’s success
in offering legal hemp-based CBD products in the U.S., the company has also
broken into markets in Mexico, Brazil and Europe. The first office for MJNA’s
subsidiary, HempMeds Mexico, opened in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico in June
2017.
Marijuana Company of America (OTC: MCOA) markets and distributes hemp to provide
investors an opportunity to be at the forefront of cannabis and hemp innovation,
cultivation, processing and distribution. MCOA’s focus is on producing a diverse
portfolio of synergistic companies that deliver value to shareholders. The
company’s vertically integrated business model has ideally positioned it and its
partners for rapid growth. MCOA’s portfolio of brands, investments and joint
ventures includes hempSMART, Club Harmoneous, Bougainville, GateC Research, and
MoneyTrac Technology.
Another interesting marijuana play, CV Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB: CVSI), operates
two distinct business segments: a drug development division focused on the
development and commercialization of novel therapeutics using synthetic CBD; and
a consumer product division that manufactures, markets and sells plant-based CBD
products. The company’s pharmaceutical division is focused on developing
synthetically formulated CBD-based medicines and is pursuing FDA approval for
drugs that have specific indications utilizing CBD as the active pharmaceutical
ingredient. The company has achieved promising preclinical results in developing
CBD medicines for the treatment of a variety of medical conditions, with its
pipeline currently including CVSI-007 to support the cessation of smokeless
tobacco use and addiction. The company’s consumer products include PlusCBD Oil
and Purified Liquids.
For investors seeking action in the legal marijuana market, the named companies
offer the chance to participate in an interesting array of industry niches,
making the case for further due diligence and market research.

Savvy Publicly Traded Bitcoin Players Contributing to Cryptocurrency’s
Widespread Adoption
New York, NY – July 13, 2017 –
NetworkNewsWire.com News
Coverage: Bitcoin is rapidly being adopted and accepted as a valid
form of payment, with major retailers like Overstock.com, Microsoft and Subway1
among several U.S. companies that now accept digital currency – or
cryptocurrency – as a form of payment. Japan adopted bitcoin as an official
currency in April 2017, which has been a major step forward for this
cryptocurrency on a global scale. Savvy companies are rushing to profit from the
growing acceptance of bitcoin, whether by aiding further accessibility or by
applying digital currency as a
payment
solution for high-risk industries that are considered “unbankable.” Standouts in
the bitcoin rush include
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTC: CIIX), SinglePoint, Inc. (OTC: SING),
Bitcoin Investment Trust (OTC: GBTC), BTCS, Inc. (BTCS) and Bitcoin Services,
Inc. (OTC: BTSC).
One of the major attractions of bitcoin is that it facilitates the transfer of
funds independent of banks and, therefore, cannot be regulated by governments.
This is a major boon for industries like the rapidly growing legalized marijuana
market, which is currently hobbled by federal restrictions in the U.S. that
deprive it of FDIC approval and cooperation from banks. The majority of U.S.
cannabis businesses have been forced to conduct cash transactions, which has
been a serious hindrance, but the advent of bitcoin payment solutions could
change everything.
One company making a bold foray into bitcoin as a solution for cannabis
enterprises is
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTC: CIIX). A leading financial information
website for Chinese-speaking investors, CIIX recently announced (http://nnw.fm/w3pbB)
that Chinesehempoil.com Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary, will now accept
bitcoin payments. This will allow purchasers of hemp-based health products,
foods and beverages, to use bitcoin alongside other, more common methods of
online payment such as credit cards and PayPal.
CIIX is focused on becoming the leading publicly traded Chinese medical
marijuana company. As part of this mission, the company is engaged in investing
in the distribution and R&D of cannabidiol-based (CBD) medicines and health
products to Chinese-speaking consumers across the globe. While marijuana use is
currently illegal in China, cannabis-based oils are legal, which gives CIIX
access to a market of nearly 2 billion customers in China. The company is also
expanding its business presence to other countries and recently incorporated CBD
Biotechnology, Inc. in British Columbia, Canada, to focus on R&D and
distribution of health products, including hemp-based CBD, food and beverage
items, in that country.
Other recent milestones include the launch of www.ChineseCBDoil.com in the
free-trade zone of Shanghai. The first CBD health products online store to
launch in the Chinese language, ChineseCBDoil.com went live on January 31, 2017.
Concurrent with the website’s launch, CIIX debuted a Yelp-style social media app
- the first Chinese language app of its kind - which features a database of
cannabis dispensaries and marijuana strains. The app features a platform for
reviewing and discussing cannabis products, maps showing the locations of
marijuana dispensaries, and summary reports of marijuana business in Los Angeles
and other major cities. The app has received approval from the Apple store.
Another company endeavoring to offer bitcoin as a payment solution for the
cannabis industry is SinglePoint (OTC: SING). SinglePoint recently joined forces
with First Bitcoin Capital Corp. (OTC: BITCF) to develop a proprietary bitcoin
payment solution that can be downloaded directly to any point-of-sale machine,
enabling marijuana dispensaries and other cannabis businesses to accept debit
and credit card payments. SinglePoint believes it has found a means of applying
bitcoin technology in a way that will make the credit/debit card payment
experience seamless for customers at cannabis dispensaries. SinglePoint has
already successfully completed technology integrations with companies like
Twilio, RedFynn and IATS, as well as with major carriers like Verizon, AT&T,
T-Mobile and Sprint, and intends to utilize these integrations in developing its
bitcoin payments technology.
Other publicly traded companies tuned into the pioneering opportunities
associated with bitcoin technology are fueling its widespread adoption. Digital
currency play Bitcoin Investment Trust (OTCQX: GBTC) was recently named to OTC
Markets Group’s “OTCQX Best 50” for 2017. GBTC is a U.S.-based, open-ended
grantor trust sponsored by Grayscale Investments that is exclusively invested in
bitcoin. The company’s shares are the very first publicly quoted securities
solely invested in and deriving value from the price of bitcoin, enabling
investors to gain exposure to bitcoin’s price movement through a traditional
investment vehicle and avoid the challenges of buying, storing and safekeeping
bitcoins.
BTCS (BTCS) is an early mover in the blockchain and digital currency ecosystems
and has been recognized as the United States’ first “pure play” public company
to focus on blockchain technologies, which are the technologies that underpin
bitcoin digital currency.
Bitcoin Services (OTC: BTSC) is another company helping to further the common
acceptance of bitcoin currency. BTSC offers a bitcoin escrow service, which acts
as a neutral third party between buyers and sellers in online transactions,
holding the buyer’s bitcoins until both parties are satisfied with the
transaction. Additionally, BTCS offers bitcoin mining services and blockchain
software development.
As bitcoin gains ground as a valid and accepted form of currency, benefitting
from high demand for convenient digital payment capabilities, savvy investors
will do well to take note and look to enterprises like the named companies,
which are at the forefront of this burgeoning digital currency.

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. Announces its Wholly-owned Subsidiary,
Chinesehempoil.com Inc., Will Officially Accept Bitcoin Payments
SAN GABRIEL, California, July 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB:
CIIX) ('CIIX' or
the 'Company'), the premier financial information website for Chinese-speaking
investors, today announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Chinesehempoil.com
Inc., will officially accept Bitcoin payments. Consumers who buy hemp-based
health products, foods, and beverages can use Bitcoins in addition to more
common payment methods, such as debit cards or PayPal.
Bitcoin, the first decentralized digital currency, peer-to-peer system has
attracted a lot of attention in recent years. Bitcoin can be converted into cash
and exchanged for currencies of most countries. Consumers can use Bitcoins to
buy both goods and services, everything from computers to furniture to apps,
games and videos. Large retailers such as Dell, Overstock and NewEgg accept
Bitcoin payments.
The US has been at the forefront of the digital currency space since the
beginning, hosting the highest number of cryptocurrency users and Bitcoin
trading volumes in the world. Silicon Valley, California is home to numerous
cryptocurrency, blockchain-related startups, and the highest number of Bitcoin
ATMs in the world. Other Bitcoin-friendly countries include Denmark, Sweden,
South Korea, the Netherlands, Finland and Canada, to name a few. For example,
the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority legitimized the fast growing
industry in the country by publicly declaring Bitcoin (and other
cryptocurrencies) as a means of payment.
For consumers, Bitcoin offers advantages including: cost savings, in the form of
transaction fees that are ultimately passed on from the merchant to the consumer
in traditional credit transactions; privacy, particularly following significant
security breaches that have occurred at large retailers in recent years; and
ease of use, as Bitcoin eliminates the need to enter personal information and
jump through additional verification hoops, steps which most existing payment
methods require.
"I am delighted to announce the addition of Bitcoin payment to the
ChineseHempOil.com site," says Warren Wang, founder and CEO of CIIX. "By
providing advanced payment technology such as Bitcoin, consumers will benefit
from cost savings, increased privacy and ease of use."

Wholly-owned Foreign Enterprise, CBD Biotechnology Co. Ltd., Will Launch its
First Hemp Infused Skin Care Line in China
SAN GABRIEL, California, June 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB:
CIIX) ('CIIX' or
the 'Company'), the premier financial information website for Chinese-speaking
investors, today announces that its wholly-owned foreign enterprise, CBD
Biotechnology Co. Ltd., will officially launch its first line of non-industrial
hemp infused skin care products, the "CBD Magic Hemp Series." The product line
will include four products, namely, CBDBIO TECH Toner, CBDBIO TECH Rejuvenating
Cream, CBDBIO TECH Perfecting Shield Primer and CBDBIO TECH Rejuvenating Spray.
Air pollution is a concern for many people, especially in heavily populated
cities, and the effects of such pollution on our health appear to have
intensified. The air is filled with a variety of pollutants including cigarette
smoke, car exhaust, smog, dirt, dust, and other particulates that contribute to
mitochondrial oxidative stress which promotes the production of free radicals
that have been linked to premature aging. Clinical studies found that women who
live in urban areas with high levels of pollution had a 22 percent increase in
pigmented spots and significantly more coarse wrinkling. Some dermatologists
contend that medicinal ingredients in cannabis offer the potential to make skin
look younger. Specifically,
cannabinoids are powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. Moreover,
the endocannabinoid system consists of many cannabinoid receptors, and a large
portion of these are found in the skin. Although cannabis is still illegal in
China, Cannabis Sativa Leaf Extract can legally be added to skin care products.
A catalogue provided by the China Food and Drug Administration entitled
"Catalogue of Cosmetics Raw Materials in Use (2015)" includes Cannabis Sativa
Leaf Extract.
The new skin care line is expected to be launched in the third calendar quarter
of 2017. CBD Biotechnology Co. Ltd. plans to use multiple sales channels to
implement its sales plan including Tmall, TaoBao, the Company's official
website, broadcasting platforms of internet celebrities, mobile news
applications, and a multi-level direct selling system in cooperation with
Shangdong Yibao Biologics Co. Ltd.
"Following the launch of OptHemp Ultra Premium Hemp Oil by CIIX's wholly owned
U.S. subsidiary, ChineseHempOil.com, Inc., I am very pleased to announce the
launch of CBD Biotechnology Co., Ltd. non-industrial hemp infused skin care
line," says Summer Yun, CEO of CBD Biotechnology Co., Ltd. "CBD Biotechnology
Co., Ltd. will be one of the first companies in China to incorporate hemp-based
CBD into skin care products, which we believe will spark public interest.
"An estimated 55,700 metric tons of industrial hemp are produced around the
world each year with China, Russia, and South Korea leading in production,
accounting for 70 percent of the world's industrial hemp supply. Although China
is one of the leading producers of industrial hemp, the benefits to the human
body have not yet been widely recognized in mainland China," says Yun. "As one
of the companies company to introduce a skin care line infused with hemp-based
CBD to China, CIIX looks forward to educating the almost 1.4 billion people in
China about the benefits of hemp-based CBD and the positive effects it can have
on the largest, visible human organ - the skin!"

British Columbia, Canada. CBD Biotechnology Inc. will focus on research,
development and distribution of health products, including hemp-derived
cannabidiol ("CBD") products, as well as hemp-based food and beverage products.
In April 2017, fulfilling a campaign pledge, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
introduced legislation to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in Canada
by the middle of 2018. Canada will become the second country to completely
legalize marijuana as a consumer product. The law will require purchasers to be
at least 18 years old, and it will limit the amount
they can carry at any one time to 30 grams. While the federal government will
license and regulate growers, each of Canada's provinces will need to decide
exactly how the drug will be distributed and sold within its boundaries.
"I am delighted about the incorporation of CBD Biotechnology Inc.," says Warren
Wang, founder and CEO of CIIX. "CBD Biotechnology Inc. is strategically located
in British Columbia, Canada, known to be a cannabis friendly province. The
British Columbia cannabis industry produces 40 percent of all Canadian cannabis,
making cannabis among the most valuable cash crops in the province. While CIIX
has been laying the groundwork to enter the legal cannabis market for some time,
the complete legalization of cannabis in Canada provides another great
opportunity for CIIX to enter the market."
"The incorporation of CBD Biotechnology Inc. is a promising step forward towards
CIIX's goals to enter the medical marijuana industry. Through its expansion into
Canada, CIIX aims generate significant revenues through sales of CBD-based
health products, while helping the nearly one million Chinese in Canada to
improve their overall health," concludes Wang.

Opportunities in CBD
Cannabis:
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most important healing substances in the hemp
plant with a strong anti-inflammatory effect without a psychotropic (narcotic)
effect.
What is CBD?
Hemp CBD is a non-toxic and non-addictive natural concentrate extracted from the
Cannabis plant. It is capable of positively impacting nearly every organ system
in the human body and has a balancing effect on both the body and the mind. CBD
can be refined into CBD oil health products, which are available in sprays,
capsules, concentrates, balms, drops and vape liquid, and can be made into a
variety of flavors and concentrations to suit consumers’ preferences.
The market of CBD
Cannabidiol is one of the fastest growing market categories in the U.S. hemp and
legal marijuana industries with a compound annual growth rate of 59%. In 2015,
the CBD industry grew from a nearly invisible market a few years ago to $202
million in consumer sales, and it is further expected to grow to $2.1 billion in
consumer sales by 2020 with $450
million
of those sales coming from hemp based sources.
The legality of CBD
CBD oil is gaining popularity in North America and is considered a food nutrient
delivering the benefits of cannabinoids without the psychotropic effects of THC.
It has already been legalized in the 50 states of the U.S., and can also be
exported to more than 40 countries including China.
Usages and benefits of CBD
According to a series of documentary reports, CBD has shown to be effective in
treating epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, cirrhosis of the liver and to provide
relief from hangover, anxiety and stress.
- CBD oil has been shown to be remarkably effective in alleviating the symptoms
of epilepsy and minimizing the severity of seizures not only in terms of
intensity but also in frequency. A recent 6-episode documentary on CNN
highlighted these therapeutic benefits.
- Ingredients in marijuana CBD oil have been shown to be effective in restoring
memory. This may help in the prevention and cure of Alzheimer’s.
- CBD oil has been shown effective for anxiety, stress, panic attacks and a
whole range of mood and physiological disorders.
- CBD may help with alcohol and nicotine dependence.
- CBD May prevent cancers and diabetes.
- Usage of CBD to treat epilepsy in China
China has nearly 10 million epilepsy patients, and epilepsy is one of the most
common diseases that the Chinese people are eager to cure. In China, epilepsy
cannot be completely cured and patients generally rely on drugs or Chinese herbs
to temporarily control this disorder. In the US, epilepsy can be cured through
surgical treatment, but the high risk factor is a major concern. As a result,
most Chinese patients are inclined to seek conservative treatment methods in the
field of Western Medicine. CBD oil therefore has a huge potential market for the
treatment of Chinese epilepsy patients located in the mainland and overseas.
Company Offerings
ChineseCBDoil.com store:
http://www.chinesecbdoil.com/english/
After entering into a wholesale agreement with a well-know CBD health brand in
December 2016, CIIX formally launched the new website for its new subsidiary
ChineseCBDoil.com. The website went live on January 31, 2017 at
www.ChineseCBDoil.com, which is the world’s first CBD health products online
store in the Chinese Language. The website will provide a variety of nutritional
supplements containing CBD, including soft gels, capsules and concentrates, for
Chinese-speaking customers worldwide. In upcoming months, CIIX will open a
retail store in the predominantly Chinese community of San Gabriel, California,
also where the Company’s headquarters are located
Cannabis ‘Yelp’ style app:
At the same time, CIIX launched the world’s first Chinese-language mobile
cannabis navigation application. This cannabis ‘Yelp’ style social media mobile
app will contain a database of marijuana dispensaries and cannabis strains, a
platform to review and discuss various cannabis products, and maps showing the
locations of medical and recreational cannabis dispensaries. In addition, the
mobile app will offer cannabis business summary reports of Los Angeles and other
large cities, so that users can easily get the best recommendations for local
marijuana products. This app has already been approved for download by the Apple
store.
Clinical trials and research:
CIIX will further study the efficacy of CBD oil for the treatment of epilepsy
and Alzheimer’s disease. Besides, the Company will invest in CBD drug R&D
enterprises with the goal of developing various CBD drugs that have positive
efficacy in combating Epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease. The application period
for new drugs of this type in China is 2 to 4 years, which is much shorter
compared to that of FDA. Our goal is to be the first company in China to use CBD
oil to help mitigate the suffering of patients with Epilepsy and Alzheimer’s
disease.
