I do not think that projects of the level and scale that they set themselves to solve with the help of ICO. Not the scale that is necessary for this. How to build a nuclear power plant with the help of ISO.
I think the ICO is a good plan.
You have different ICO's for Energy and we are not building power plants but accessibility to H2 and immuable certificates on the blockchain.
An ICO do not prevent you to have grants and big investors. ICO let people see your project, judge it and invest in what they believe.
This is the whole thing with the blockchain : decentralization. We do not limit ourselves at the big investors and partnership AND we do not limit ourselves to the public.
We mix it to have a global view on who is interested in and proove that the target is large.
As written, we are a solution :
"For Technology providers the HydroCoin will be a way to become certified as a clean – future – technology by the community. Companies that are providing clean technologies can buy HydroCoin to collect votes, and participate in new clean technologies.
For Energy providers the acceptance of HydroCoin as a valid currency for their products will give benefit from the community as a clean-fuel provider that is certified by the community.
For Users the HydroCoin will be a valid currency for clean energy. Using this coin counts as a vote for clean energy. First products that can be purchased using HydroCoin will appear in the year 2020. The coin can be traded on many platforms. HydroCoin will use the ERC20 – technology and can be stored in almost every Ethereum-compatible wallet after the ICO-period is finished.
For the world, HydroCoin is a big chance to turn the traffic from combustion- engines using fossil fuel, to electric engines using clean fuel."
so we implies all of them in this process.
I hope my answer satisfy you.
Have a nice day.
