Why not? Many big players are with blockchain now.

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.

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  Grin

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.

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

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).

whitepaper: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/beenest-public/whitepaper/bee_whitepaper_v2.pdf

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 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 ?


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.

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.

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.

We should be thinking about which projects really have added value by using blockchain.

i can really imagine something similar to Airbnb with blockchain. Just think of it. You can simply make the entire process automated, payments, scheduling without ever needing Fiat currencies. That can actually work in various industries, including car rental or Uber kind of services. By having the entire process automated you can all of the sudden reduce your costs and offer the drivers for example a better payment than what you are already paying out. And the same can be applied to almost anything, including renting office, selling goods etc. The best thing is that you won't need any kind of documentation because at some point we'll have everything automated in a way that just by showing our address, we'll be able to immediately access various services (the address will be linked to our ID for example).

I agree. Other than the obvious uses of blockchain such as transparency, efficiency, an crypto, looks like the bee token will be charging zero commissions, which is great. As an airbnb guest, those commissions are outrageous. I also like the fool-proof reviews (meaning no spam or fake reviews) along with dispute resolution. I feel like this industry is perfect for blockchain because it reduces costs, makes it more transparent, and more efficient/fair.

I'll be following the bee token. Already joined their telegram group and looks like their pre-sale is going to be this month

That looks promising, will subscribe.
AirBNB in Ukraine turned into a kind of lottery: outdated or fake appartment's photos, realtors instead of real owners, price changes. Lot of reviews is the only chance to get what you want.
If AirBNB cannot get it right then it is unlikely that some other service is going to do it any better unless they are a local service that competes against AirBNB since they can take the time to look at the properties and tell if the owners are telling the truth or not.
