Say Goodbye to ICOs, Crypto-Fundraising Has a New Form.

The most disputable part of the cryptographic money industry remains that of the adrenaline pumping, 100x-giving Initial Coin Offering, or ICO.

In any case, anything that volatile, that unregulated, and having those profit making levels can’t last long — ICOs simply don’t obey basic monetary laws.

The cash angle aside, an ICO was really made for meriting organizations to fund-raise, more often than not in ETH, and give their own particular tokens to speculators in its expectations holding significantly more incentive later on.

Utilizing the assets raised, organizations looked for ability, foundation, and different business forms with the expectation of really turning into a world- class blockchain player.

Rather, ICOs turned into a shady device for raising a great many dollars, just for financial specialists to confront fizzled items, no-items, feeble groups, leave tricks, and each other misrepresentation trademark.

So, the raised assets were NOTHING in excess of a wallet hotter for some a-business.

This isn’t to state say that everybody enjoyed scammy exercises, as there were unquestionably genuine designer groups taking a shot at genuine undertakings and understanding significant issues.

Presently, envision if the cash went to just those meriting designer teams — who unfortunately didn’t have the showcasing assets to pull in investors — instead of the deceitful ones ?

BUT.

My never-ending frustration regarding fraudulent ICOs led me to an innovative project called Blockhive, and immediately, I was hooked on reading what they had to offer.

The Blockhive team believes that there is a need for an alternative to ICO due to the following shortcomings. The token economy is based on the demand, and sometimes selling tokens doesn’t make sense because the token has no real function for your business.

While the term ILP certainly sounds a bit daunting, its a fairly simple concept to grasp, and utilizes smart contracts in their full glory.

As opposed to an ICO, the ILP raises funds for businesses in the form of a crypto-loan, and legally binds borrowers and creditors in via a smart-contract.

In fact, at the end of going through Blockhive’s white-paper, I tried to reason with myself as to why wasn’t THAT the procedure for conducting ICOs.

There’s a reason why traditional loan agreements are a problem.

Procedures. Hundreds of time-wasting, paper-based procedures.

When issuers pay interest and principal, they need to know the KYC and bank account of the Creditors.

When Creditors wish to transfer their rights to others, the issuer needs to know the amount of the loan, the date of transfer, and the KYC of the new Creditor.

Herein comes Blockhive, which offers a legally binding digitized loan agreement, called an Initial Loan Procurement (ILP).

With this innovative loan structure, companies can now procure loans that they needs to expand its ecosystem while allowing creditors to earn interest from the money they have loaned.

All KYC information and transactions are recorded on blockchain, and all money transactions will be automatically executed via smart contract.

How? Using the Future Loan Access Tokens (FLAT) — HIVE.

Distributed to creditors when they commit to an ILP, and receive 1 Hive token per €0.045 value of the loan agreement they signed.

A total of 1 billion HIVE tokens would be issued by Blockhive, all to be used for funding projects.

Here’s a gist of how it works —

As shown, HIVE is embedded with a logical, step-by-step process which considers balances, and interest pay-outs.

As yearly interest, Creditors will receive 20% of profits generated by the blockhive community using the platform.

Interest is paid in ETH.

From the blockhive whitepaper -

If project A generates profit of 2,000 ETH and project B generates profit of 3,000 ETH, total profit is 5,000 ETH, and the total amount of interest is 1,000 ETH (5,000 ETH x 20%), to be allocated via smart contracts to Creditors.

Thus, Blockhive greatly succeeds in providing an integral feature to the cryptocurrency market —

A token which adds value.

P.S — I am not Affiliated to the project, but did take part in the ILP :)

Articulating my thoughts from over the years and super stoked to write about Blockchain, trading, cryptocurrency and life.

I aim to bring Cryptocurrencies to the masses in a well refined, easy to understand manner. Being complicated helps none and neither does the biased media.

Yes, I think the system is a massive lie and it is about time to change that.
