So this is or was a mobile payment app, but now it's an algorithm trading app too?
Going public? All sides of this look like a scam, from being taken public to the product features themself.
If the algorithms had those return they investors wouldn't be taking the company, public, or selling the algorithms.
Your first mistake is relying on seekingalpha to give a fair shake. They are a for hire propaganda machine. As for HUMBL, it's a multi-faceted idea. A Super App, if you will. The grand idea is to provide the public with an app that is a vehicle for other apps, a one stop shop where you can not only find all data but also make purchases with and act as a bank. By also being a digital form of storing your currency, you can transfer funds peer-to-peer and businesses instantly using the same principles found in all cryptos.
This circumvents costs usually incurred via credit cards, banks, cash transfer companies like Moneygram, etc.
One way to deliver this end goal is via the Blockchain ETX. You fund your account in blocks and your money gradually accrues over time. You then use that accrual to purchase goods, transfer money to friends, whatever purpose you have. It's a much safer, cheaper (especially for businesses) way to operate and it brings a global presence, all on your phone.
It's an ambitious end goal that is difficult to grasp at first blush, but it is one that I believe we are heading towards as we creep closer to 2030 and move further away from traditional fiat currency.
Here's an example of how it works. The year is 2025. I'm an Orioles fan and have been for life. I purchase my ticket to a game using the HUMBL App. The ticket is stored on my phone. I UBER to the game using the HUMBL App (keep in mind, the HUMBL App is a vehicle for all other apps) I arrive at Camden Yards and scan my phone at the gate. While at the game, I would like to purchase a dog and a soda, I use my HUMBL App which generates a QR code and authorizes the purchase. It instantly pulls money from my account and gives it to the vendor. O's end up beating the Yankees to win the AL East and I want to celebrate by getting some steamed crabs with my Dad and brother. But where do I go? Well, I use my HUMBL App to look up vendors in the area and off I go to celebrate Mountcastle's walk off homer over the hated Yankees.
It is meant to be a complete experience. Ambitious? Of course. A scam? Not even slightly. This is the brainchild of Brian Foote, Block15 and now HUMBL. They have been working toward this goal since 2017. The App will be out at some point in Q2. The thing that excites me the most is what it will do for the rest of the world. No more costly currency exchanges, a greater visibility and cheaper costs for vendors, and an overall easier and safer exchange of goods from nation to nation.
As you can tell, I am all in on this company.
