Pictures can be taken at one point in time...then posted at other points in time across different platforms of media?

Jesus. This changes EVERYTHING. Dan Bilzerian, social media master!

Blitz has made quite a name for himself in the cannabis industry as a total clown. I wonder what the over/under on how many years it will take for his cannabis business to go under.

Interesting. Where'd you get that from?

I don't follow the cannabis industry, but did see he was getting involved, and figured his name/brand, plus the celebs he gets, would be a pretty huge boost for a weed company.

Surely he's going to corner the douchebag market, which has to bit pretty bid.

Truth. He even came up to Oregon and tried to flex his stuff with a company i'm invested with.

I really hope he makes a name for himself. It would be nice if he was known for something other than throwing chicks unsuccessfully off of roofs and into pools and laundering daddy's illegal moneys.

Maybe he can buy out the Dennis Hof estate's interest in that business line ?

perfect. and get the vacancy for the dead pimp Nevada elected into office. Politics would suit blitz cuz he is such a douche.

Had to google Hof. I can't believe the Cathouse guy won a political election after he died. Him winning it at all is something else, but winning after your heart stops beating, that takes skill.

Either that or the opposition was terrible.

First, when he entered the industry he came off as a mega-douche by declaring he is going to be the next Pepsi or Coke of the industry. This is incredibly funny as there are thousands of brands and u cant run over the industry like he has claimed in poker.

Second at his launch party for his brand he tossed a Dope Magazine reporter out and later claimed on Twitter he was drunk.

The truth of the matter the reporter asked what he would be doing about gender equality in the industry and he got pissed. He really messed up by lying about the reporter being drunk and also bagging on Dope as a zero entity.

Dope just got sold to High Times for 11 million and even before that was considered the 2nd best publication in the industry.

The cannabis industry is not one you want to be operating in such a manner as extremely tribal. Like all sectors, there are massive scammers and **** bricks, but if you want to get ahead and be sustainable you really need to have clean business practices as success relies in partnerships and the word is getting out that Blitz is a bad operator.

While I'm not connected with Dope in Seattle, I do have my own media project out of the state of Washington and already know in 2019 Blitz's cannabis company is going to be on the end of some pretty serious backlash, grab some popcorn.

I think his flexing in an industry he has little knowledge besides actually blazing will be one of his reasons for the downfall.

Of all the states that he will fail will be Oregon, they dont play games down there and growers already have huge issues and not sure adding what he thinks he has to offer will have any chance at all.

His company is pretty serious though, positioning for an IPO in Canada, but unless there is a shadow CEO doing the heavy lifting its going to go up in flames in time.

also funny as it's what you'd hear at a quixtar meeting

There is a serious amount of conjecture going on here. While I'm not arguing that poor business practices can sink a company, do you have personal experience with his product? Is it garbage? Is it competitive?

Do you think that High Times' acquisition of Dope plus Bilzerian being Bilzerian is enough to cause major stress on his brand?

Do you have the business acumen to assess all of this from a complete lack of personal investment?

THE REAL QUESTIONS

No experience, his product is not in my state as far as I know. But there are so many premium cannabis brands its one of a zillion, it comes down to the sales force and getting young 20something purchase managers to bring the product in the store and to have budtenders push it over other products.

No, probably none as cannabis media companies are pay to play for most parts and Im sure he will have no problem with these entities due to fact he can grease them by advertising or paying a ton to be part of an event to make everything all right. But I do know there has been a little cause and effect from this incident and his attitudes about the industry that has started a ball rolling from a different direction than Dope or High Times.

Maybe, maybe not. I'm just a cannabis event, entity, and product writer with inside information.

That last bit was satisfying, thank you sir.

Im happy that made you happy.

I've heard Mike Tyson is very involved in the pot industry in Nevada.

I know where I live there's a bunch of twenty somethings making huge dollars on legal pot sales with grow ops and retail stores. If you're in the game at this point it is pretty hard to **** it up.

It won't be long and they will be building their dream home on the hill.

I remember hearing he was opening a resort or something on the California border. Which would be epic as that is one part of the industry with massive opportunities in spaces to consume.

Is that in California? Up here in Washington and Oregon growers for the most part lose their shirts due to saturation and taxation. But many are holding out for national opportunities and develop unique ways to survive.

Ya that was a seriously garbage post starting with a video made 2 years ago that someone dug up a few weeks ago. I've seen multiple people "in the industry" say that the Product he sources is quality. Seems to me his company would have a leg up on 20 something purchasing managers and consumers as well considering probably 95 percent of his 25 million IG followers that he is advertising to are that age.

THIS.

And if he was having trouble getting 20 something purchasing managers to buy/push his product - Dan posts on IG “ top mover in every state each month gets picked up in my jet and the VIP treatment at my next Bel Air estates house party.”

He'd swap it all just to be tall.

This is actually not a bad idea and along with the millions Ignite is giving to models in contests for his cannabis company he sure will be digging a hole so deep in an industry where a premium pre-roll is sold to a store for 3 dollars and grams for under 2.

It worked out so well with Blitzfantasy.com and his presence with Victory poker moved mountains.

He may crush as the King of Instagram but the dude is not the dynamic CEO he talks himself up to be and he is going to get cannibalized.

Ya you got nothing

"After being honorably discharged from the Navy following a four-year service, Dan attended the University of Florida where he majored in both business and criminology. He then went on to became one of the world’s most successful professional poker players, winning over $50 million in a single year. Despite not adhering to any social norms — and continuing to be unapologetically himself — he developed a flawless trustworthy reputation within the gambling community for always doing what he said he would do, a mindset that he’s carried with him into numerous investment opportunities, business ventures, and personal pursuits — creating an empire. Now, he’s focused on building the most trusted brand in the cannabis industry. In his words, “I’ve never half-assed anything I cared about. Everything I do, I do on the highest level and Ignite is going to top everything I’ve done before. I’ll spare no expense, cut no corners, and do whatever needs to be done in order to build Ignite into a world- renowned cannabis brand.”

From Ignites site.

He has already failed as he is both a liar and fraud and it's going to crumble.

show us on the doll where the bad man touched you...

What empire is this quote talking about? His Intagram Empire? Seems like a sales pitch filled with BS to get people to invest in his business.
