Which high tech, low life story will we write today?
Each Thursday we bring you great, new, potential additions to your high-tech, low-life arsenal! We always help answer the question, What is the latest in cyberpunk gear?
This week we RE-Visit our post from April 22, 2021. Why? Just because its cool. We enjoyed writing it so much, we wanted to re-read this one! Plus, we just can’t get enough street art.
2032 is fast approaching and not only have we not yet seen the quick, self-healing construction surfaces that destroy graffiti in a moment, but we have more importantly not yet seen the digital design-led, mechanized graffiti device that appeared in a particularly cheesed-up cyberpunk classic.
Thanks Dr.NO!
Before anyone hits us up for Demolition Man not being Cyberpunk we merely offer the fact that Cyberpunk 2077 felt compelled to honor this particular classic of the genre with a special reference within their game release. You know it, the three seashells are back!
In any case, we wondered… what the cluck man!?!? Forget the seashells where the heck is our mechanized street art tools?
We have, however, seen developments in terms of the government’s ability to remove, or at least potentially identify and prevent vandalism. As early as 2013, Chicago was working with CityScan on a project that offered a “high-tech, fully-automated code enforcement (that) could be a boon for city coffers!” In that instance, they claim they are after illicit billboards, however, we know graffiti isn’t far behind.
Fantastic news is that street art is alive and well and even available for hire, gotta love the Graffiti Kings. However, while we do appreciate the fact that many art distributors are also keeping the dream alive, ensuring that the traditional tools (with a few cool new updates) are available to those in the craft and for those interested, we found Jerry’s Artarama, it’s just not enough.
However, we did find hope! While it doesn’t have that real-world spray appeal, we know the try is alive as some have been working to create graffiti effects with Nintendo’s Wii! This project offers a new chance at wireless drawing using a Wiimote, a Wii Sensor Bar, and a large display!
Thanks David Pride
Plus, built with a raspberry pi, David Pride (the creator), is giving us a glimpse into the possibilities to come. We’re game!
As usual, we are not sponsored by any of these products, companies, or organizations. We just love to share the coolest gear out there to cyberize and self make our worlds!
As always, love to share, and keep it digital! Come back soon and to check out more in Cyber-Gear follow this link!
We are addicted to crypto… and our aim is to stimulate the masses!
Welcome to Crypto-STIM! As we learn, you learn. Each week we vape the 5 unique attributes that make each new crypto we find tantalizing and addictive.
To get started, we know that Matic is now Polygon, but we know too the token is still MATIC so we left the logo in our image. However we do really like the new Polygon Logo too!
In any case, we find no point in beating bushes, so let us get straight to the point.
1. It’s Focused: On Simplicity
This particular crypto is all about integration with simplicity as it seeks to simplify the complexities that are found in scaling crypto products and instant transactions. It does this by building on its proof of staking (PoS) mechanism as a means of securing the blockchain. Special nodes on the network called validators, stake (lock up) MATIC (the tokens) collateralizing the network’s consensus mechanism. For this, they receive more MATIC in return.
2. Built Off Ethereum For Access To All
Built off of one of the most secure and proven blockchains: Ethereum. Provides the structure for a variety of DeFI (Decentralized Finance) protocols to get access to the ecosystem as many are already accustomed to programming in the language developers in Ethereum use to design smart contracts. Access continues to be a focus as Matic has become Polygon. The ultimate goal: an interconnected landscape.
3. Stylish Plasma
A unique tech collection of proof-of-stake checkpoints, sidechains, that allow for a high number of transactions per block: 65,536 to be exact! Basically, a fancy way to move between the root chain (main/parent chain) and child (off-shoot) chains. This is what allows all those fancy interconnections in 2 above!
4. Halfway to the Max
Matic has a maximum number of tokens set at 10 billion. We are nearly halfway there as of 05.12.21. The current actual number of Matic is 4,877,830,774. This is great news for those who love the scarcity aspect that some cryptos possess. Plus, we are getting the end fast as they predict the close of minting to occur by end of 2022!
5. Secured, Expansive Scalability
Polygon is fantastic in that it intends to use a variety of technological solutions to achieve the ultimate ecosystem for scalability: PoS Chain, Plasma Chains, ZK Rollups & Optimistic Rollups included. Ultimate scalability, with heavy redundancy, working to achieve low cost transacting! Whew!
Special thanks today to Polygon, Decrypt.co and CoinMarketCap.com for helping us take in a little MATIC. The best thing is when you learn, we learn, and we all get the buzz. Full Disclosure, we are long MATIC.
See you next time on BCB Cyber.
Welcome to our announcement of a new series on health… a developing dive into the disruptive depths of health and wellness as it moves onto the blockchain!
While our focus is always on helping our community toward a tech-defined sense of self, we will delve into the startups and entrepreneurs defining the space. Over the course of the next several weeks sit back and dive in with us as we look to discover how blockchain is disrupting not only our financial lives but now also our health and wellness. We begin next week with a sneak peek into HealthWizz!
Thanks Health Wizz
See you next time.
Good Monday everyone and welcome to the BCB Cyber Series that takes on the tech stocks that can provide the cyber-fuel we need to pursue our digital wealth passions.
Jump in and knock it out with three ways to play. In other words, our top three hacked reasons why we would, or would not invest in a given stock, in a given month; picking it bear, or bull, with each instance. The choice from there is for each one of us to decide. So choose wisely!
OR 
Before we get there though, as always, our reminder: with BCB Cyber we dig for the cyber-fuel we need, we are always working to make sure the best of the best, those monster companies in Tech, form a key portion of our portfolios.
For all these growth stocks, our core defining feature is that the estimated annual revenue growth is over 20%! As always though, we dig deeper still, looking for those companies that are pushed by incredible disruptive tech with a great story, not to mention having a solid base in the numbers.
Before we dive too deep, we strongly advocate that we don’t act solely on anyone else’s opinion, not even ours! Make sure we are all thinking for ourselves as self-definers and making our own decisions. In the end, the responsibility is on each one of us as individuals. So decide wisely! On to the story…
C3.AI has been off to a great start no doubt; with over 71% revenue growth from 2019 to 2020, that’ll be a tough rate to maintain.
There definitely appears a great deal of potential here as analysts are forecasting a 32.20% revenue growth rate into 2022. In addition it helps in weight that the number of analysts following this stock has been on the uptrend as well.
It appears too that the quarterly trend for 2021 is getting off on the right foot as well with a quarter – over – quarter uptick of nearly 20% in revenues! So far, we go… bullish!
A recent, dramatic sell off in the stock may scare off many would-be investors, but this may just be the time to become a contrarian! Yes, the stock got over-hyped out of the gate, but what were the reasons it fell so dramatically afterward? Diving in a little deeper shows us that it may just be sound practice behind the fall as early investors recouped their early investment; a sound practice to be sure.
However, those same investors don’t seem to be abandoning the stock. Quite to the contrary, they seem to be holding at significant levels.
In fact, Baker Hughes after taking back its original investment still remained the company’s third largest shareholder, owning nearly 10% of the company!
So for this sell off, we go…
Not only is C3.AI picking up high quality clients, Yokogawa being a company with interests in 114 companies across 62 countries, but more importantly they are signing them to multi-year agreements and extending the reach of their AI technologies into some of the world’s most pressing needs for the future: power generation, renewables, chemicals and metals mining.
So on extending their reach, we go…
Remember, we are just like the masses, struggling to make ends meet and build our future. So, we start building and keep doing our homework. Adjusting and flexing over time, if we see a massive spike we may lighten our position some, but always with an eye to keeping our portfolio percentage in check and investing for the long term.
The same goes in reverse, so if tech takes a nosedive, you can bet we’ll be watching and looking to add. This is just what we need to start us on our journey toward cyberizing our lives.
BCB Cyber believes this is a company with the right stuff for a big time grower with lots of potential for our portfolio. C3.AI is a solid performer with an eye for the future.
So for that, we are mega…
Our position, at BCB Cyber, holds a portfolio percentage of 1.14% as of 05.10.21 and we are definitely long. This is a riskier position for us though and so we will look to stay at about 1%.
As always, this is definitely a stock we find to be worth buying at the right price and one that BCB Cyber believes to be the right fuel for the fire at under $65 but definitely love it under $60 where it is now!
As always, think for yourself, do your own homework, and cyberize your life with the best in disruptive tech. Learn more in our Wealth Section and dive deeper into Establishing the Baseline on BCB Cyber.com!

Which high tech, low life story will we write today?
It’s time we start to look at new opportunities not only for wealth creation but how we move it and exchange it. It’s time we took back the power. The opportunity to do just that lies in a place where we don’t have to trust institutions but instead can simply verify in a trustless world. The answer lies in crypto.
See you, next time, on BCB Cyber!
