Consider the Long Island Chilled Tea Organization, an exhausting but possibly not genuinely direct name connected to a business that made nominal refreshments. And afterward, they changed their name to Long Blockchain Corp, making their stock worth increment sixfold. They did nothing else. They executed no progressions or find a lot of charming rubies in the basement. They declared they planned to turn into a digital money business - - something any little refreshment organization is set up to do immediately - - and that they would purchase 1,000 Bitcoin mining machines, or what the layman could call "PCs."
