We are Airbnb without the costly intermediary and with an „experience” layer baked in. Initially, the target audience we are looking at are crypto enthusiasts who would want to rent their houses out to other crypto enthusiasts in order to understand the local crypto ecosystem when they travel, create a relationship that can result in friendship, network and gain new understandings of the crypto ecosystem internationally – says  Jonathan Chou CEO of Bee Token in Bithub.pl’s #SundayInterview.

The notion of sharing economy in reality refers to access economy and thus is misleading. That’s basically what you assert. Are you coming to change that?

Jonathan Chou: Sharing economy means that both sides of the marketplace such as the guest and host are able to perform peer to peer transactions without a middleman. We are here to change the current economy structure and make that a reality! The decentralized access really refers to the ability for many people all over the world to contribute to our initial success instead of a few select parties. This is a model that has been a common thread in many other blockchain projects that have been successful. The beauty of the sharing economy intersecting with the access economy is that people who are involved in the early stages of our project will help us evangelize it and also be our initial users for our product and then help us cross the chasm by sharing their passion about our product to their friends.

The whole idea of renting houses without any broker or middleman is great,but i`m confused.
Jonathan Chou talks about removing the middleman,but his company Bee Token looks just like another middleman,more cryptocurrency related indeed,but it`s another middleman.
I would like to use such AirBnb type of service with cryptocurrency payments,but i don`t have enough coins right now.
