https://slack.mybit.ioIntroductionMyBit enables the crowdfunding of revenue generating machines (IoT Assets). So anyone can buy a percentage stake in a device that generates revenue and in return receive a portion of revenue the machine produces. This inverts the financing model and revenue flow to create a more scalable and democratic model which unlocks hundreds of billions of dollars in investment opportunities previously reserved for large centralized institutions to the average person. All of this is managed by Ethereum smart contracts to automate processes, maintain security without the need for middlemen, brokers, and other forms of intermediaries, and reduce friction in the overall p2p investment process. This result is a new investment ecosystem where more opportunities are available and investors can keep a larger portion of their money due to leveraging technological efficiencies.
How does it work? We often here the term decentralized ownership. What MyBit does is enable ownership of a specific IoT asset to be easily distributed among several owners (investors). With the rise of the upcoming machine economy, our vision is to have machines owned by people all over the world, rather than centralized parties maintaining ownership and the resulting revenue streams.
Let’s look at an example. Alice wants solar panels that cost $20k and only has $5k to allocate towards them. Traditionally she would have to go to a lending institutions (bank) and apply for a debt-based instrument (loan) which results in the bank actually owning the solar panels and Alice owing the bank. Since solar panels generate revenue, there is no need for debt-instruments since investors can profit from this opportunity without Alice having to owe any third-party (financially). Instead, Alice can crowdfund the remaining 75% (or $15,000) from investors all over the world. If the full amount needed ($20k) is not raised in the set time-interval (typically 30 days) then all funds are returned via the smart contract to investors. If the funding goal is reached then the raised capital is automatically sent to the hardware installer/manufacturer which eliminates the risk of Alice misusing the funds. Once installed, the Solar panels are connected to the MyBit platform via an oracle that pulls usage and payment data from the hardware so everything is transparent and can easily be tracked and audited by investors and third-parties. When the solar panels generate revenue (in this case feed-in tariffs or selling back to the grid) investors receive a portion of the profits proportionate to their ownership stake. Operational and maintainence costs can either be priced into the initial funding target or be deducted from revenue as a percentage.
Use Cases (Additional Verticals)This can be applied to: All of the following use cases involve partnering with an IoT hardware provider to integrate MyBit which prevents our open-source application from being successfully cloned and brought to market under a different brand.
- Renewable Energy: To accelerate adoption of the decentralized energy grid, land and homeowners can crowdfund ownership of the solar panels. Investors in return receive profit sharing from feed-in tariffs and excess energy production sold back to the grid (or p2p in the future).
- Smart Property: Smart Locks can be installed on existing brick and mortar properties or be integrated into the design of new properties so govern rent/lease payment. If payment is not made, then the space is locked and only the owners who control the other keys can open it until payment is made. This enables property both commercial and residential to be crowdfunded and revenue to automatically be distributed to investors without a third-party payment processing/management company involved.
- 3d Printers: We envision 3d printers to become widespread over the next decade throughout malls, shops, and other venues. Under the 3d-printing as a service model, investors can crowdfund these assets and be paid on a per usage basis.
- Drones: Drones will have a major role in many commercial use cases, but we believe delivery and transport of goods will be one of the core areas that will come to market first. People will be able to purchase stakes in these delivery drones and upon completion of each delivery they will receive revenue sharing. As different models for monetizing drones take shape, MyBit will be flexible to integrate into any that are economical for the network.
- Cryptocurrency ATMs: To stimulate the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies, ease of access is a core component. By crowdfunding ATM ownership it enables exponentially more units to be installed and operational across the globe. Investors will make money off of the spread and usage fees for transacting.
- Self-Driving Vehicles (Consumer): Self-driving cars are going to displace a lot of jobs. We find it vital that the average person has the option to partake in the ownership and revenue sharing of these vehicles instead of centralized financing institutions controlling every aspect.
- Automated Machinery (Commercial): Farming machinery, construction, delivery, etc. can all leverage MyBit. It is beneficial to companies that want to upgrade machinery and infrastructure to utilize MyBit to reduce costs to enter into this market. Simultaneously, it unlocks billions of dollars in stable investment opportunities to investors.
- Smart Homes IoT Devices / Machine as a Service (Business Model): This will definitely take time to implement, but we at MyBit predict a disruptive transformation into micro-economies and vast adoption of micro-payments. In this scenario, the financing model is turned upside down. Instead of purchasing a device to use limitlessly (traditional – how it is now for the most part) , devices will be free to the consumer (crowdfunded by investors), and they will pay per usage. A major barrier to entry with this is insurance and accountability for assets.
