Week 55 with Atlantic Global Asset Management and Questra World - In Profit


Welcome to week 55 with Atlantic Global Asset Management and Questra World

Last week we saw another Hard Fork in the Blockchain which created a new coin called Bitcoin Gold

There will be another one in November as part as SegWit2x, and that new coin will likely be called Bitcoin2x.



Again I have to say that I'm not an expert in Crypto, and if the last two sentences have confused you, then I'm not the one to enlighten you. I lack the vocabulary and know-how to describe it in a way that a layman would understand. I take it upon myself to find out what's happening and try to make sense of it all. I have enough knowledge to know what's going on but not enough to write about it.

Atlantic Global Asset Management are 100% Crypo when it comes to depositing and withdrawing funds, which is the reason I mentioned SegWit2x and so on. It's part of AGAM's business. That means it our business to know what's happening too.


It's our responsibility to learn about and understand cryptocurrencies. It's the future of money - if not the now of money!

To help you keep up with crypto news, this site is arguably the best: https://cointelegraph.com

In my opinion on Hard Forks: I have two theories... 

First is that the changes to the blockchain software which create the fork and new coin are being done by people who believe that the changes will make bitcoin better - or I should say, a better version of bitcoin. A version that will be better more future proof than the original. The software is open source so anyone can change it, but the BitCoin Miners need to support the change or the new coin will die out. 
If you have the resources know-how you could decide to create a new coin for the hell of it, or because you feel it's a genuine improvement. Either way, these changes are mostly unwelcome by the majority of users.



Part two of my theory...  a bit of a conspiracy theory.  Could it be that hard forks and the resulting new coins are being instigated by those in power to interrupt things for normal bitcoin users? Interrupting Bitcoin often and as much as possible may force people to adopt a different coin altogether, such as Ethererum. Banks and governments have no control over Bitcoin, our 'private money'.


But Banks and very large corporate businesses do have a say in another currency - a currency where the transactions are held on a database - Ethererum.



Just maybe the banks and businesses would rather people used that coin instead of Bitcoin? Just maybe one day they will alter the database and steal everyone's money. They want all the power. They don't want us to have it, that's for sure.


AGAM's News Feed

Another great source of news and event that affect us can be found on AGAM's News section.

It's great to see that AGAM themselves have their finger on the pulse too: 



The Results


Anyway, back to business... This week the Fund Managers returned another very respectable result. We all earned 5.1516%


Here is a breakdown of the figures for the first 6 investment portfolios.

My Investment Packages provided a nice return this week again. With my earnings, I purchased a new €810 Green and a €210 Yellow

These two new Packages (or Suitcases if you prefer) enabled me to make a series of Upgrades.

This is what my current portfolio looks like:


Money In Money Out

When I started I decided to put a lot of money into this opportunity. 


From the image above you can see that I put in a total of €15,614.93.
My withdrawals and some transfers to other members total €16,567.19
In total I've invested €34,920. I did that by using my earnings to purchase more investment packages. As you can see I've more than doubled the value of the amount I've put in, as well as taken out more that I put in!

Looks like I'm now in PROFIT! 

Cheers Donald!



With the remaining amount, plus commissions sent over from Questra World, I've requested a withdrawal of €526.04 to my Bitcoin wallet.

I'm looking forward to receiving that this Thursday coming just like I did with my last withdrawal.


Questra World

Over in Questra World, the advertising and referral side of this business, I'm creaping a bit closer to Level 4 - Gold Agent. That should happen in around 4 weeks now. The result of which means I will start earning 10.5% on direct referrals and earn a 2,000 Questra Point bonus, which I can turn into Euros by sending it over to Atlantic Global Asset Management.


My appreciation goes to all those who have joined me directly or someone else within my network. It's very humbling!

Until next week...

Week 49 With Atlantic Global Asset Management - Crypto Market Manipulation



Welcome to week 49 with AGAM and Questra World.

In this week's blog post I'm going to focus on what may well have been an attempt by major governments and banks to manipulate the price of Bitcoin and a huge number of other popular cryptocurrencies.



But first... this week's results from AGAM.

WEEKLY INCOME OF THE MANAGERS IS 4,45% ON THE OUTCOME FROM 11.09.17 TILL 15.09.17 
The company Atlantic Global Asset Management is pleased to announce of the completion of the current working week. The managers of Atlantic Global Asset Management have once again demonstrated the high level of professionalism, through a series of lucrative deals for the company and its customers by producing the result in the amount of 4,45% of the profit.
This week the Fund Managers in AGAM returned a respectful 4.4512% as shown here from the results with my Black Investment Package.


Entering the figure of 4.4512% into my spreadsheet you can see what the first six investment packages faired this week:


I know that some people may feel a little disappointed to see a figure below 5%. The lowest figure I've seen in the 49 weeks I've been with AGAM was 4.2% back in early May 2017. 4.45% per week is far more than any bank will ever pay you!

Plus this week, I feel there may have been something else at work that may have been influential in a lower than average return...

As you know (or you should know at least, especially if you have an active account with AGAM), on the 22nd August 2017, AGAM announced a change in direction and the formation of a brand new company, Five Winds Asset Managment.

AGAM would be focusing on investments in Cryptocurrencies, Blockchain technologies, FinTech startups, and all things related to Bitcoin and the likes.

Over $1.2 billion in Cryptocurrency was raised through Initial Coin Offerings (“ICOs”) in the first half of 2017

Initial Coin Offerings

You may not know just how massive a market this is. When a new business looks for funding they would normally go to a someone like a Business Angel who would invest a lump sum into the company in return for a percentage of that company.  This way of funding and investing into companies has been massively disrupted by a type of crowdfunding.




The modern way of gaining funds for business startups is with something called Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) 

ICO are 'tokens' and live on Ethereum's version of Blockchain.

Anyone can purchase 'tokens' in a company with the hope and expectation that as the company does well, the value of the token increases.

The tokens will eventually enter the exchanges and can be traded like any other cryptocurrency. 

I myself have invested in Cloud Tokens

Companies love this style of funding as they do not have to give up a percentage of the company to investors. They are not shares either so no dividends need be paid.


China's Crackdown

Two pieces of news came out of China recently that caused the price of Bitcoin, Altcoins (Alternative coins to Bitcoin, such as Litecoin, Ethereum, Ripple, etc.) and Tokens to take a large tumble!


China banned ICOs.


As well as a great way for legitimate companies to raise money, it's also another way to scam people out of theirs. I can't remember where I read this but apparently, 70% of all ICOs were scams designed to get money out of people. Some countries issued warnings about the high risk and others placed a ban on them altogether!


Following the ICO ban news, a rumor hit the internet - that again caused the price of Bitcoin to drop.

It was said that China would ban access to all Exchanges. "An unverified notice surfaced on the Internet about China moving to block access to all major cryptocurrency exchanges."


Fake News

The next piece of FAKE news came out of a comment by the CEO of Chase Bank, Jamie Dimon - calling Bitcoin 'Fake'.


All this news over the last week was, in my opinion, the reason all the prices dropped... but I also believe that part of this was manipulation of the price - so the banks could buy into Bitcoin at a lower price...

Here's proof they did just that! (Image from a twitter post)


People on twitter letting JP Morgan know that they are being watched. They say bad things about bitcoin on, then go on to purchase a stack of it when the price has dropped! - 'We see you J P Morgan'



Back to AGAM Results


Getting back to AGAM's results this week... with all that's happened, all the fake news and market manipulation, a 4.4512% return on investments, when crypto prices were going down, I think, is impressive!

Well done AGAM!!




Have a wonderful week, and remember when it comes to purchasing currencies or stocks, buy low, sell high!

Week 45 with Atlantic Global Asset Management and Questra World

Welcome to Week 45 with Atlantic Global Asset Management and Questra World.

This Monday, 21st August 2017 sees the Fund Managers at Atlantic Global Asset Management going back to work and financial transactions being turned back on!

The next payout of funds on Friday 25th August 2017!

Happy Days!



Now for the Downer... 

It looks likely that Bitcoin will 'Hard Fork' again. 

Once again I, an ex-postman turned Internet Marketers, lacks the technical knowledge and vocabulary to describe what's about to happen, so I urge you to...

CLICK ON THIS LINK AND READ THE ARTICLE

https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-is-splitting-once-again-are-you-ready



It doesn't matter what company you're involved in, if they deal with Bitcoin, or if you hold Bitcoin in a wallet, then this is important to you. I urge you to read it.

I predict another disruption. If there is a disruption I also predict it will only be for 1 week this time, based on the fact that the last Hard Fork was done and dusted quickly. 

Again, please read the article above and make the most of what time we have before the next disruption in November!

Wishing you all the best,

and before I go I would like to share with you a few great photos taken at a Questra World training event held in Africa last weekend.

Week 44 With Atlantic Global Asset Management and Questra World

We still have 10 more days until transactions and earnings are turned back on inside Atlantic Global Asset Management, but during this break, brought on by changes to the crypto Blockchain, much has happened.

AGAM Website

Atlantic Global Asset Management have been updating and improving their website. The new site looks great and now features a great NEWS section.

Atlantic Global Asset Management's News section on their new-look website

The News section of the AGAM website gives us an idea of the things that they are investing in. For example, over 90% of the funds in AGAM are held in Cryptocurrencies so it makes sense for them to keep a very close eye on what's happening, and you will find reports on this subject within the news section.

Atlantic Global Asset Management have recently purchased a European bank, and their aim is to have a fully operational bank by 2018 incorporating FinTech2 - the latest, most modern and super convenient way to move money. Therefor you will find news on Financial Technologies (FinTech).

Not only are they looking to use the latest FinTech themselves, but are looking for FinTech startup businesses to invest in and support.

Investment Packages

All Investment Packages have been extended by 3 weeks to make up for the 3 week holiday.

Atlantic Global Asset Management Packages extended for 3 weeks



Important Message - My Lost Bitcoin Transaction

Some people are panicking about the 3 week break that AGAM announced.  I wrote a blog post about why they took the break. 

On the 1st of August, the Blockchain 'hard forked' creating a break-off currency called Bitcoin Cash. Then on the 9th August SegWit2x, a change in the Blockchain software was confirmed.

I sent some Bitcoin to a CryptoCurrency exchange on the morning of the 9th. That transaction still shows as pending. It's been 48 hours since I sent 0.0200BTC (about £54 at the time). The mistake I made, I think, was sending a Bitcoin Payment at a risky time - a time when changes were being implemented. That transaction could be lost forever in the older version of the Blockchain! It still shows in the Blockchain as an 'Unconfirmed' Transaction. It may never be confirmed and therefore lost

unconfirmed bitcoin transactions - segwit2x perhaps

Atlantic Global Asset Management took the very wise decision to suspend all transactions until the volatile time has passed. The SegWit2x software update is on test until... 21st August.

That's when AGAM will resume! Thank you AGAM for protecting our funds!


Questra World

Nothing has stopped here!

People are still promoting Questra and AGAM. Opportunity meetings are being held around the world. People at the Director level are still opening new offices. Training events are still going on, like this one in Malaysia! 



It's business as usual  - whilst we wait for the 21st of August to come along!

Biggest Withdrawal So Far With Atlantic Global Asset Management

I normally make my Withdrawals from Atlantic Global Asset Management on Sundays, and typically, no actually, without fail, I receive them on Thursdays.

I was paid my first Bonus of €1,000 last Friday, on top of my earnings, purchased a €810 Green Investment Package, and was left with over €1,300 in my account.



Not sure what to do with it as I have a holiday coming up, and a few things that need to be paid... such is life, I left it alone.

Before I knew it, Monday had arrived and I remembered that I had not yet made my weekly withdrawal.

I decided to take out my entire available balance, sending it to my Bitcoin wallet over at Blockchain.com.

I was expecting to get paid on Friday, but I was not. I got paid on Thursday, a day earlier than expected. I was pleasantly surprised.



That was my largest withdrawal yet, and of course, the bonus for moving from a Level 2 Agent to Level 3 Silver Agent made a massive difference.

Thanks, AGAM!
