Airbnb with blockchain?

[CrypticGambit]

What's everyone's thoughts on the bee token? They are decentralizing short term housing rentals with blockchain and zero commissions. Their team is made up of engineers from Uber, Google, and Facebook (pretty impressive if you ask me).

My thoughts are very bad. The ceo looks like some retarded kid and he wants shit ton of money. I would not invest in this coin but you guys need to do your own research and decide for yourself is it worth.

I don´t see why you would decentralize such big house rentings system... Servers and databases will still do it much faster...

If ETH Network got a bit bottleneck for a simple kitties website.. could you imagine how it would be for a monster like airbnb ?

IMO it's important to decentralize a big company like Airbnb. With blockchain you prevent fake reviews and terrible conflict resolution. Also the tech itself brings about more ironclad agreements let alone the efficiency. Looks like they have some tricks up their sleeve from what they're hinting on the site/wp.

Idiotic is that there are so many platforms, but everyone builds on Etehreum altho they know in advance that all projects will have huge problems exotically beacuse there will be to many on Ethereum. Ethereum Blockchain will hit 1 Tb next year. I just dont understand this guys why they do it.

Will be interesting to see if they can expand to asia. It can be a pain to use airbnb for more remote areas, owners sometimes asking for more money. Would be a lot simpler if i can just pay a flat fee in btc or eth. Definitely investing in the presale if the project still looks legit

Even the ico still not started yet, This airbnb will become a good thing for us. but remember that was not easy as the majority people said. That means to build the dapps version of the airbnb looks not easy.
Basically, the decentralized airbnb will be based on the p2p transaction.

Very interesting idea. Been a part of their telegram group for a week now. One of their admins in their telegram group said that they have a prototype ready which is pretty cool. Definitely sets them apart from other ico's.

I do think this project will be competive in the space, the rental business is getting crowded and I think they are late to the space especially with a brand name like Airbnb dominating already, I won't touch it and again the potential for growth here is very small

Why not? Many big players are with blockchain now.

I have a feeling they're going to announce something crazy down the line because they always throw out hints in the telegram group. I read somewhere that they have partnerships set up that will kickstart their platform. At the end of the day, what differentiates them for me is the team. Yes, there are lots of ico's out there int he real estate space, but their teams aren't credible...not even close.

I'm going in on the bee token not only for the platform, but mostly the team.

Love this project they have going. This is what I've found out so far from their telegram group:

$15m hardcap (5m for private pre-sale, 5m for pre-sale, and 5m for public sale)
~14 cents for a bee token

Pre-sale date: January 2nd 2018
Public sale date: January 31st 2018

They also posted this for the token distribution: https://medium.com/@thebeetoken/bee-tokens-sale-metrics-explained-59249fc96536

Thanks for posting this teddy. Hard to keep up with their telegram group because they're growing so quickly and everyone asks the same questions lol. Glad they're keeping the market cap low

I just don´t see much value in using blockchain for real state projects or anything that is subject to many different alternatives and subjective points of view.
