Bitcoin Shop Avoids the Hype of Bitcoin and Bitcoin-Related Investments Analyst Report by BrokerBank Securities, Inc.

5/1/14 7:00 AM ET (PR NewsWire)

Bitcoin Shop, Inc. (OTCQB: BTCS) is an online retailer that sells various types of merchandise for purchase using virtual currencies such as bitcoin, litecoin, and dogecoin. The company's website (www.bitcoinshop.us) allows customers to purchase over 140,000 items in over 400 categories ranging from appliances, books, cell phones, computers, grocery and gourmet foods, health and personal care products, home and garden supplies, musical instruments, PC and video games, Blu-ray movies, pet supplies, watches, photo and camera supplies, sporting goods, etc. The company was formed in July 2013 and launched its ecommerce website the following month.

Bitcoins are a digital, or virtual, currency that uses peer-to-peer technology to facilitate instant payments. Since bitcoins are not a fiat currency (currency that a government has declared to be legal tender, but is not backed by a physical commodity), they are not controlled by a single entity like a central bank and are therefore sometimes referred to as a "decentralized" currency. Bitcoin is an accepted form of payment by a growing, but still limited number of businesses, while governments and regulators are beginning to create more regulation and structure to legitimize it as a currency. Although each bitcoin transaction is recorded in a public log, the names of buyers and sellers are never revealed, which keeps bitcoin users' transactions private thereby increasing their popularity in illegal activities such as the buying and selling of drugs. Further, since bitcoins are stored in a digital wallet which exists either in the cloud or on a user's computer, they are susceptible to hackers and viruses (e.g. Mt. Gox collapse). The total number of bitcoins that will be issued is capped at 21 million to ensure they are not devalued by limitless supply, with this limit being reached around the year 2140.

About Solar Wind Energy Tower, Inc. Solar Wind Energy Tower, Inc., and its wholly owned commercializing subsidiary, Solar Wind Energy, Inc., is the inventor of the patented Solar Wind Downdraft Tower which uses state of the art technologies and construction systems to produce abundant, inexpensive electricity, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Company secured the site for its first tower project in the U.S. in the City of San Luis, Arizona and may have its first Tower ready for operation there as soon as 2018. Aside from the development of this Tower, the Company is focused on licensing its development know-how and establishing partnerships at home and abroad to propagate Tower projects and in turn, receive licensing fees for territories, development fees during construction, and recurring royalty fees based on the actual kilowatt hours produced by the Tower. Solar Wind Energy has assembled a team of experienced business professionals, engineering and scientific consultants with the proven ability to bring this solution to market. The Company's core objective and focus is to become a leading enabler of clean, efficient renewable energy to the world communities, at a reasonable cost, without the destructive residuals of fossil fuels, while continuing to generate innovative technological solutions to meet tomorrow's electrical power needs. Solar Wind Energy has filed and been issued patents that the Company believes will further enhance this potentially revolutionary technology. Solar Wind Energy, Inc., based in Annapolis, MD, is traded on the OTCQB under the symbol 'SWET'.

Innovative Renewable Hybrid Solar / Wind Energy Technology The simplicity of the Company's hybrid solar/wind technology solution is found in its ability to harness the natural power of a downdraft created within the confines of its Tower structure, a hollow cylinder reaching skyward into the hot, dry atmosphere heated by the solar rays of the sun. The water introduced by the injection system near the top of the Tower evaporates and is absorbed by the hot, dry air. The air becomes cooler, denser and heavier than the outside warmer air and falls through the cylinder at speeds up to and in excess of 50 mph. The air is then diverted into wind tunnels surrounding the base of the Tower where turbines inside the tunnels power generators to produce electricity.

The Company has successfully managed to economize the Tower, reducing capital costs and improving projected financial performance. This development was made possible by utilizing the Company's Energy Generation Calculator software, which can calculate and predict energy production of a Tower given a site's local weather data. By feeding the weather data into the program, the Tower's height and diameter can be adjusted along with the amount of water added as fuel to create a desired amount of energy. The outcome dictates the optimum size of the Tower's height and width. Under the most recent design specifications, the first Tower in San Luis, Arizona has a design capacity on an hourly basis of up to 1,250 megawatt hours, gross. Due to lower capacities during winter days, the average hourly output per day for sale to the grid for the entire year is approximately 435 megawatt hours/hr.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements Statements included in this release may constitute "forward-looking statements". Actual results may differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements. Such statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties such as competitive factors, technological development, market demand and the Company's ability to obtain new contracts and accurately estimate revenues, if any, due to variability in size, scope and duration of projects, and internal issues in the sponsoring client.
