Hello. At the very end of the white paper I’ve found only African real estate investment projects. Are they going to be the first investment assets?
Correct we will start with them as we are familiar with our local market but remember there are more to zabercoin than just buying property as seen below:
THE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH PATH OF ZABERCOIN:
1. Purchasing lucrative property in especially emerging markets (EM) with great valuations. Although the focus of Zabercoin management will be to buy property within emerging markets, other profitable and lucrative projects outside EM will also be considered in its investment plan. Zabercoin makes use of all legal tax incentives like Article 13 Sex of the Income Tax Act of RSA to ensure sustainable and profitable rental income and maximum growth for the investor right from the start.
Our investment philosophy in brief:
At Zabercoin we strive to add value at each stage in the investment process which targets under-priced markets expected to maximise performance for a given level of risk. The management team adopts a top-down asset management approach. This means that a variety of economy-wide phenomena (macroeconomics) such as inflation, price levels, growth rates and unemployment of a country will be thoroughly evaluated before considering any prospective project. We strongly believe in a value investing style where the interests of the company and the investor always take preference in decision-making. Good asset selection, and active management are fundamental drivers of investment performance.
2. Developing a decentralised blockchain based property ledger which will record all real estate contracts, registrations and linked bills. With this ledger, Zabercoin will be able to provide property owners and potential buyers an accurate and seamless record of valuations and property ownerships. In comparison with Windeed, a centralised South African service provider, Zabercoin will be unique in providing a decentralised global service by effectively making use of the blockchain.
3. Developing a decentralised open source bookings eco-system for renting hotel rooms, private properties and accommodation using blockchain technology making it more cost effective for the host and guest and incentivising the users. AirBNB currently has a market cap of approximately 30Bn USD. They charge a guest between 6-12% and a host 3% after a successful stay. They expect to generate a revenue of over 10Bn USD by 2020.
In comparison, Zabercoin will charge only 4% for a guest and 2% for a host.
Half (50%) of above revenue will go to the users by managing the properties on their decentralised Zabercoin account portal as an incentive. By incentivising users there will be no need to market and by using blockchain technology administration costs will be very low. If Zabercoin, at a third of the price and incentive model to users/agents as well, can obtain only 10% of the market share of AirBNB it will value Zabercoin at 3Bn USD on this basis alone. If Zabercoin can raise 30m USD it will result in a 100x return on investment!
4. Using Zabercoins as payment method for transfer costs on properties. Barnard Inc Lawyers already approved this as a payment method. South Africa alone has over 80,000 transfers per annum and we intend to incentivise users as well. Bitcoin is seldom referred to as “digital gold” – an industry of 8.2 trillion USD. Zabercoin aims to become a digital real estate token – an industry of more than a 200 trillion USD.
