Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 20, 2018) - Gunpowder Capital Corp., (CSE: GPC), (CSE: GPC.PR.A), (OTCQB: GNPWF), (FSE: YS6N), ("Gunpowder" or the "Corporation") announced today that it has participated in Bitblox Technologies Inc.'s ("Bitblox") recently completed second round non-brokered Token Unit financing which was sold directly by Bitblox to accredited investors. Each Token Unit consists of one Token and one common share purchase warrant, which is automatically exerciseable for no additional consideration into one common share of Bitblox immediately prior to a liquidity event of Bitblox. The Token also has the right, on a pro-rata basis, to participate in Bitblox's profit sharing program, which can reach up to thirty-five percent (35%) of the quarterly profit of Bitblox as determined by Bitblox's Board of Directors

Gunpowder purchased 1,000,000 Token Units at price of $0.10 CDN per Token Unit for a total commitment of $100,000.00 CDN. BitBlox raised a total of $419,350.00 CDN in its second round.

Mr. Paul Haber Stated: "Cryptocurrencies are perhaps the most exciting sector in the markets today and we are extremely pleased in having the opportunity to increase our investment with BitBlox Technologies Inc. While there will continue to be corrections and unnerving gyrations in the cryptocurrency space, despite the recent pullbacks, we at GPC, believe that the future remains bright for cryptocurrencies. The late 1990s hype that led to the original dot-com bubble and subsequent burst did not signal the end the internet. At that point we could scarcely imagine what mainstream adoption of the internet would look like; the social and mobile revolutions were still years off. Silicon Valley didn't go anywhere. Instead, it was back and bigger than ever within a decade. We feel the same will hold true for cryptocurrencies."
