UNEDITED FROM THE REDDIT THREAD TODAY!

---

Hello, my name is Michael Straumietis. But all my friends — and 2.3 million people who follow me on social media — call me BigMike.

Today, I have a BIG announcement about the massive investment I'm making into the cryptocurrency space specifically for the cannabis industry.

But before we get to that it's important you understand who I am to see why I'm making this announcement.

The simple fact is, if you’ve grown or consumed marijuana in the last 34 years, you’ve benefitted from my work. I'm the founder and CEO of Advanced Nutrients, the world's No. 1 cannabis brand and largest private cannabis company. Specifically, we sell fertilizers and supplements for growing marijuana.

In short, nobody else in the cannabis world has the distribution network, or the thousands of retailers of our products sold all over the globe that we have.

And because I started as a grower decades ago — and have watched our community mature and legitimize into the billions-of-dollars-per-year market it is now — I know what this community needs and how they fit into the cryptocurrency picture.

Click the link below to see an Instagram video I recently released about the investment I'm making into cryptocurrency:

I'm extremely excited about this because I know that cryptocurrencies are the future for cannabis.

Cryptocurrency is the answer we've been looking for in regard to P2P cannabis sales, merchant processing for state-legal cannabis businesses, tax collection, and everything in between.

The bottom line is that I'm going to lead this space.

I'm stepping up because I understand our industry, our community, our needs and have the scale to lead our community forward into the cryptocurrency future.

Stay tuned for more BIG announcements as we move forward on this!

You don't want to miss out.

awesome article. I just joined steemit and really liked the way this was visually laid out for the sake of fast reading

[barrydutton]

I love comments like this that people take time to tell me what they like.

Thanks!

[barrydutton]

I just gave you a full power UV / Upvote. It boosted your rep from 25 to 33 in one shot.

I look for new people to help several times a week with things like this, to encourage you.

My vote power is drained or it would have been higher LOL.

Check my page please, there are definite things that will help you, I just put another 101- type article out with easy language and charts.

Nite! Welcome to Steemit!

[flauwy]

Looks like he is planning another coin or maybe buy-in one of those weed coins.

[cyberblock]

Dam I packin a bowl right now lol

[barrydutton]

I think this guy is gonna open whole new markets and people to crypto now!!!!

[ridwant]

If in Aceh-Indonesia, marijuana as a herb cuisine

[randowhale]

This post received a 1.5% upvote from @randowhale thanks to @cyberblock! For more information, click here!

[techwizardry]

This is great news, but would have been nice if he gave us some more details. I sincerely hope it's not another ICO.

[barrydutton]

I feel the same, believe me, on both counts. That's why I looked for more info, researching the post before it went up.

[ibringawareness]

My first thought : Which coin?

[chrone]

Everyday now some celeb or big shot is getting into the space. Ayy

[barrydutton]

This guy has battled the system and won, he is yuge.

We shall see.

[fracturedsounds]

This is looking positive! Good post.

I invested in potcoin around 4 months back now in the hope that if the marijuana industry blows up even more then maybe that coin would too. But at the same time I'm thinking no one is forced to use that coin, it would be just as easy if not better to use some of the other coins available.

I have kept my investment in potcoin though, just on the off chance. It's not much but it's enough to get me some pocket money if it flies up ;)

[ibringawareness]

What you said is exactly why I haven't invested in Potcoin yet - what does it do (for the dispensary or the customer) that using LTC, etc can't? Yet still, the novelty factor of it's name alone makes me think it will rise as mass adoption occurs. But there github hasn't been touched in two years, so is it dead? And then Cannabis Coin made great strides... argh! I'd love to know if this guy is partnering with an existing coin, or or creating a new one?

[fracturedsounds]

Yeah it's hard isn't it, luck pays a big part I think.

I have made a small investment in POT months back now, before I stood back and thought hmmmm what does it do that others can't? But like you say hopefully the novelty of it might help and I may make a small profit which I can maybe use to invest in another coin in the future ?

[ibringawareness]

I'm basically a HODLer, so I don't look as much for profits (large or small) to reinvest, but coins/projects with huge potential to sit on for years before cashing them out. But just doing enough research to make those decisions, I'm starting to see the benefits and feel the "lure" of day trading.

[fracturedsounds]

Yeah same here, all my investments have been made on coins which I think will grow over at least 1-2 years if not more... I'm not naive to think I can say trade Haha

[ridwant]

I'm Agree @ibringawareness

[barrydutton]

My concern is any of the pot based coins, is easy prey for the gov'ts to just go and demand to audit their client lists.

Not too far off what is happening with every other exchange and or coin project, really.

Just easier to target a coin and market this way out in the open.

[fracturedsounds]

Yeah you have a good point.

I suppose time will tell but like you say, the GOV will not make it easy unless it is profitable for them too.

[barrydutton]

Governments want their grease.

Fat cats, ruining life for humanity, by and large.

[fracturedsounds]

Correct :)

[ridwant]

I'am agree But If in Aceh-Indonesia,
marijuana as a herb cuisine

[thomasfarley]

Wonder if he knows about Paragon? Haha, cool post OP, upvoted!

[ridwant]

GOOD GOOD!

Thanks for the comments again on my posts today my friend!!

[skylineking88]

i am gonna guess he is going to get hooked up with @growersintl for them to push his products if so #grwi to the moon, if not better start buy some of every cannabis token

[steemitqa]

Yeah Dopecoin is partners with them I believe. There is a big ICO ann. coming up.

[maven360]

sounds like another ICO to me, unless he has plans to partner with an existing coin like HempCoin

[barrydutton]

We shall soon find out.

[sir3nal]

I knew that marijuana puts people in the right path :)

[barrydutton]

Thanks for the comments today!!

[steemitqa]

Probably, investing in Dopecoin. They have a huge ann. showing up shortly.

[barrydutton]

Nice to hear from you again!!!!
