juniper research issued a report on tuesday suggesting that bitcoin adoption will increase over the next four years, but cautioned retailers against adopting it right away. the cryptocurrency has had a rocky start, with its value plummeting and scandals depicting it as a tool for criminal activity fostering public skepticism. however, with more and more enthusiasts working to bring bitcoin into mainstream use, its user base could continue growing. adoption to rise juniper's report, titled the future of cryptocurrency: bitcoing & alton impact & opportunities 2015-2019 , predicted that bitcoin will have 4.7 million active users by the end of 2019, a significant increase from last year's 1.3 million. that rise will likely be attributed to growing trust among investors as new regulations prevent the likelihood of fraudulent activities and money-making scams. the study also said that bitcoin's value is likely to stabilize as adoption increases and more exchanges are developed. retailers faced with payments questions despite the currency's projected growth, the study's author dr. windsor holden cautioned retailers against adopting bitcoin as a form of payment right away. holden said retail adoption is likely to remain within niche industries; and that major retailers are better off waiting until the payments space has cleared to determine what type of transactions to invest in. now that apple inc. (nasdaq: aapl ) has entered the mobile payments space with its new apple pay system, retailers will probably focus on implementing that system over bitcoin. blockchain to develop the report also echoed what many bitcoin enthusiasts have been saying since the cryptocurrency's beginnings— that the technology powering bitcoin is likely to expand into new arenas. the ledger-like blockchain technology that bitcoin runs on has the potential to be used to eliminate the middleman and settle transactions without the lag time and expense of current systems. for that reason, the next four years will probably see blockchain being used in new ways rather than simply to power bitcoin. | 2015-03-18 |

there's no question that apple inc. 's (nasdaq: aapl ) latest offering, the smart watch, has been met with a high degree of anticipation and excitement. the device, set to go on sale april 24 in nine countries, carries a hefty price tag; but some say the company has been overly ambitious in its projections for just how much people are willing to pay. major price discrepancy the cheapest watch will cost $350, but the most expensive model, the apple watch edition, will run $17,000. at first glance, the staggering difference in price suggests that the apple watch edition will be vastly more useful than a basic model; however it seems the only difference between the two are the materials used and the strap design. all of apple's smart watches will have exactly the same inner workings and functionality, leading many to wonder if the tech superpower has made a mistake. what's on the inside that counts while the apple watch edition is made of 18 karat yellow or rose gold, there is little more to set it apart from cheaper models. this is troubling for many investors who believe that luxury products, especially watches, need to set themselves apart from those designed for the masses in a quantifiable way. luxury car brands like maserati boast attractive designs and quality materials as well as top-of-the-line engine components. if the only thing differentiating the italian sports car from a ford (nyse: f ) fiesta was a fancy paint job, it may not have become quite so sought after. over estimated? of course there are people out there who are willing to shell out $17,000 for the highest model, but the question is— how many? the wall street journal reported that apple is expecting exceptionally high demand for the luxury watch models in china and plans to produce one million models per month beginning in the second quarter. most consider this estimate to be far-fetched considering the watch's price tag. the bottom line apple's foray into the luxury market may not prove to be overly beneficial to the company's profits. however, that doesn't mean the watch is doomed. many are expecting mid-range and basic models to sell well as the general public has expressed a genuine interest in wearable technology in the months leading up to the apple watch release. | 2015-03-20 |

the growing business of legal marijuana in the united states has opened up an entirely new industry for entrepreneurs hoping to get a slice of the pie. the average cannabis consumer spends almost $2,000 per year on marijuana related products, a relatively large spend that has spawned a new startup culture outside silicon valley. canada home to many pot startups while cities like boston and new york have started to give silicon valley a run for its money in terms of attracting the best and the brightest, the california city remains the number one destination for startups hoping to raise money and gain traction. when it comes to the business of weed though, canada is the home of choice for up and coming pot-firms. since canadian laws already allow medicinal marijuana at a federal level, new businesses are able to engage with banks and operate without fear of being closed down. some startups are braving the ever changing us political landscape to base their businesses on american soil; but most of those companies are unable to secure bank loans or even open accounts, leaving them with large sums of cash and hefty security fees. pot-tech the technology space is one of the most inviting sectors for entrepreneurs looking to start a marijuana-based business. the scalability of tech products means that the companies in this arena can grow and change rapidly, an important factor as the marijuana trade is still in its infancy. companies like massroots , a weed-based social media site, and eaze , a pot-delivery service are springing up everywhere as developers race to fill the gap between technology and the new marijuana industry. though there has been a positive reception for such companies among pot supporters, many of them have struggled with differing marijuana policies from state to state. apple (nasdaq: aapl ) refused to allow customers to download weed-related apps for months until developers implemented controls keeping users whose states had not legalized weed from using their services. a need for quality weed growers like vida cannabis and cann trust are also gaining traction as the demand for quality products rises in the states. growing companies face more barriers to entry than some other startups as they are required to invest in the equipment necessary for producing marijuana plants as well as hiring educated staff that can care for and harvest the plants correctly. investors take notice the boom in pot-startups has not been lost on big name investors. calvin broads, jr, also known as snoop dogg, said earlier this year that he was planning to raise $25 million in order to invest in cannabis companies. the famous rapper has already poured money into non- pot startups like robinhood and reddit , but says his next venture will be weed-based. earlier this year, peter theil's venture capital firm, founders fund , poured money into privateer holdings, a company that invests in several marijuana startups. | 2015-03-24 |

indiana governor mike pence has received a massive backlash from the state's late "religious freedom" law, which allows companies to make business decisions based on their religious convictions. as it's written, the law would allow firms to discriminate against the gay and lesbian community by refusing to hire people based on their sexual orientation. there has been an outcry against the law from activists and celebrities throughout the nation, but it has been some of the biggest names in business that have lead the charge in denouncing the legislation. tech finds its voice tech companies have historically kept quiet when it comes to social issues; the net neutrality battle was really the first time that silicon valley leaders got together and lobbied for a cause. however, indiana's legislation has prompted apple inc. 's (nasdaq: aapl ) openly gay ceo tim cook to speak out against pence's decision to support the bill. yelp inc. (nyse: yelp ) ceo jeremy stoppelman similarly voiced his concern with the law saying that his company would consider withdrawing its presence in indiana or any other state with similar laws. salesforce.com inc.

(nyse: nke ) condemned "religious freedom" laws in both indiana and arkansas, saying they are bad for business and directly conflict with their companies' core values. ceos from clothing retailers gap and levi's issued a joint statement denouncing the legislation and asking other companies to join the fight against intolerance. pharmaceuticals eli lilly and co (nyse: lly ), a major employer in indiana with 11,700 workers based within the state, also spoke out against the legislation, saying that the law's discriminatory nature would stand in the way of the company's hiring capabilities. and the list goes on several other companies are joining the fight; starbucks corp (nasdaq: sbux ), twitter inc. (nasdaq: twtr ) and angie's list inc. (nasdaq: angi ) have all publicly stated their objections to indiana's latest legislation. despite the uproar, pence has stood behind the law, saying that its basic premise is worthwhile. this week he admitted that it may need to be clarified in order to prevent businesses from refusing service to anyone, but said he was still "pleased" to have signed it. | 2015-04-01 |
