Bestay to disrupt the $150 billion sharing economy with its decentralized blockchain powered home-sharing platform

The sharing economy is one of the fastest growing business trends in modern history. It’s already having massive impact on our society. In the very simplest term, it is based on an economic principle that uses technology as the underlying infrastructure to facilitate the exchanged access of goods or services between two or more parties. Currently, the sharing economy spans many industries ranging from hotels, cars, media and entertainment to retail and traditional consumer good, with companies such as Airbnb, Uber, Zipcar, Lyft, and Kickstarter leading the way.

According to forecast, the market is set to expand 20 times over the next 10 years, up to $300 billion. In fact, in 2016, Japanese sharing economy was valued at $4.5 billion, Chinese’s was $152.8 billion, US market was $463.9 billion.

Even with its massive size, the sharing economy is constantly evolving. Future growth will be driven by many factors, most especially trust and convenience.

According to a Nielsen survey, more than 90% of consumers in most countries say they make decisions based on recommendations from their friends and family in all other forms of advertising.

For example, the current leaders of peer-to-peer sharing services like Airbnb are struggling with their fraud list and fighting their dispute settlement systems, limiting direct value exchange between parties related to the platform. As trusted intermediaries for guests and hosts, these companies charge high commissions. In addition, there are practical issues related to currency exchange, visa card or transaction fee and more, for all parties involved.

Existing home sharing platforms are also faced with other major concerns such as: leaking customer information, unsustainable income of the parties is not sustainable, price surges and inconsistency, complex management network, and lack of economy and multi-dimensional incentives. These challenges present opportunities for technology startups in the blockchain and IoT space to come up with efficient and innovative solutions.
