This article sparked my curiosity because there are many big claims including being "involved in the gamification, theory-crafting, league bonus and adoption cycle curves, distributed autonomous organization (DAO), and other strategic and governance planning of PulseChain."
I have yet to see Richard refute these claims, so until then I'll assume they're true.
So I decided to look into the companies to find out who they are and what they do.
OBITX, Inc., formerly know as GigeTech, Inc., is a Delaware C Corp founded in 2017 and headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida.
August 4, 2020
Overwatch Partners Inc., secured controlling interest in OBITX for $40M and a partner of Overwatch, Michael Hawkins, became CEO and CFO.
Researching Overwatch Partners, I couldn't find much accept that Michael Hawkins and Christian Rishel are managing partners. They don't have a website, only a Facebook page.
Overwatch claims to be a business incubation service with plans to develop a 24,000 square foot business incubation center. They posted this cover image in 2019 and have not released any news since.

OBITX begins the formation of a SPAC called Everything Blockchain, a Cayman Island company to acquire companies.
April 28, 2021
OBITX acquired Render Payments and its IP for $1.2M.
In the article, OBITX claims it will "be first in history to publicly display blockchain wallet content of PulseChain."
One might assume they will be repurposing this IP for the described PulseChain wallet.
This is quite interesting, because if OBITX maintained Render Payment's partnerships, we could be looking at one of PulseChains first use cases. A merchant service for high risk industries that can't use mainstream merchant services.
In Richard Heart's latest update tweet, he mentioned 4 #PulseChain clients.
Many are still asking what these are - here is a breakdown:
1/ 🧵 Thread
go-pulse is a fork of go-ethereum (Geth).
Go is simply a programming language, Geth is a Go implementation of Ethereum.
Geth is an execution client that handles transactions, deployment, and execution of smart contracts and contains the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
2/
prysm-pulse is a fork of Prysm, a Go implementation of the Ethereum consensus protocol, and is currently the largest consensus client.
It contains a full beacon node implementation as well as a validator client for participating in blockchain consensus.

As a guy, we often don't feel open to unloading our thoughts and emotions on other people. My depression is usually caused by getting caught in a negative thought circle that I can't get myself out of. I've found simply speaking it out to someone really helps.
2. Basic 3
Whenever I realize I'm heading into a depressive state, I bring myself back to what I call the Basic 3.
Sleep
Diet
Exercise
There has yet to be a time when I'm depressed and not lacking on one or more of these. I put aside everything else and start here.
I started a VR startup around the beginning of the first hype cycle. It’s crazy to watch another VR hype cycle start when there really isn’t a lot of new technology in the space since the last hype cycle.
It’s still VR under the guise of a new name
ThE mETaVeRSe lol
They tried applying a million use cases - didn’t happen.
They tried increasing the quality of headsets - didn’t happen.
They discounted the headsets - didn’t happen.
The world shut down and no one could go outside - STILL DIDN’T HAPPEN
The reality is most people bought a headset, used it once and it’s sitting in the closet.
Everything that Zuck showed in the demo has been around, it’s really nothing new. (It’s actually funny how he is essentially claiming everything that has been developed as his own invention
#HEX has an absolutely incredible community. A community diverse in life experience, knowledge, creativity, and wealth. Maybe it was chance, but I believe it fate that we've all been brought together by an amazing platform, HEX, and its genius leader, Richard Heart.
Since its inception, HEX and its patriots have been under attack from the crypto world. As its success continues to grow and push through new boundaries, those attacks have only increased and the Hexicans have never backed down.
Although many hold the line, there are a few Hexicans who have fully devoted themselves to defending HEX and what it stands for since the beginning. To these few, we should all be grateful and recognize that HEX would not be where it is today without them.
