One unbelievable thing Poseidon is doing is that they are working with the famous ice cream company Ben and Jerry's. I love this brand of ice cream and their many many flavors because they are so tasty. This collaboration alone would be enough to have me invest in Poseidon. So, if you go to the London shop of Ben and Jerry’s, each scoop of ice cream you eat provides one penny to the forest conservation projects of Poseidon! Money collected goes into carbon credits and those go into the project for forest conservation. That one penny is from the ice cream company but at the register, the customers are asked if they want to pitch in, and many people donate way more than one penny to match the Ben and Jerry's contribution. A lot of ICOs do not have any product yet, let alone working with such a large company. So, this collaboration alone separates Poseidon from the pack. The Poseidon Foundation is using Stellar blockchain (XML), which I believe is the first time I have seen to be used by a token, especially in the environment space. I am working for the environment panel in the EU and we have been trying to get research projects that have a large impact. Poseidon is interesting and different from other blockchain projects in the climate change business not only because they are using stellar blockchain instead of the usual ethereum blockchain, but also they are doing forest conservation through retail integration. This is original and innovative because as far as I know, it has not been done before. The reason Poseidon is using Stellar because it is the most environmentally friendly blockchain. The Poseidon platform is already live and they have already protected over 22 million trees! This is unbelievably different than most ICOs who do not even have a product yet. This platform reminds me of Fluz Fluz which had a lot of customers in a Latin American country already and Bob’s Repair, which had about 50 000 customers already. Both are successful ICOs and they continue as successful companies with very good token value. I believe Poseidon will do the same and continue as a successful company and its token value will be increasing in time. Check out this 22 minute pitch video that explains Poseidon: Another thing I like about the platform is that it is non-profit, which is fitting for an environmental company. After all, they are working for a noble cause. The Poseidon gets the highest quality forest conservation carbon credits. The carbon credit is defined as a permit which allows a country or organization to produce a certain amount of carbon emissions and which can be traded if the full allowance is not used. They have a parent company, which produces a yearly impact report for Poseidon. This is great because I can be sure, as an investor, that Poseidon will have to work in order to provide the necessary impact their boss company asks for. In addition, they have an independent verifier and validator for their projects. This makes me trust the company further because they will work extra hard to satisfy all the regulatory requirements. This is an innovative company because their monitoring for the forest areas is high tech and it is cutting edge, as they use satellites and remote sensing for that purpose. As you would expect, a major cause of deforestation is the people living in the forest areas who do not have a job. Instead of giving them fines, these companies provide work for them in the form of fair trade coffee, milk, cocoa, and other products, which help save the forests in that area. Instead of cutting the trees, people do these jobs and everyone is happy and the situation is sustainable. Website: https://poseidon.eco/

I have seen many travel platforms in the ethereum chain but Please.com is very different because they already worked out the token economics to perfection. A lot of times the tokens produced by the ICO are either useless or they are used for rewards only. With please.com, they will use the tokens for all the travels, and if you do not have their PLS tokens, or you do not want to deal with all that token exchange and KYC stuff, their travel agents will simply purchase the tokens for you. This will let grandma and grandpa have it their way, and they will not have to deal with the cryptocurrency and technology, but they will be able to reap the benefits and the token investors get to make more money. Here is a short and sweet video explaining the Please platform: The platform promises 1 click trips, which sounds like the greatest thing to me. Whenever I am planning any travel, I like leaving the details to my wife, because she is good at that stuff. She even does it on her iPhone, which amazes me even more. I cannot fathom doing all that stuff on my phone, I have to see it on a large screen on my pc. Anyways, you have to do all that stuff, and make sure you don’t pay a dime more than you have to, because let’s admit it, not all of us are made of money :) Finding the best deals take time, but it is not only a money thing, you have to find what to do in that city, specific to you. Personally, I like shopping and original things. For fun, I enjoy concerts, opera, and theatre. I know my brother and his wife do not like shopping, but they enjoy nature. They have this talking AI and once you say you wanna go to Brussels, it tells you the location of the Opera, the Grand Place, and whatever your heart desires, based on what you like. It can present you with all kind of options and lets you choose. I especially like that you can talk to the AI and it sets up everything. This is especially good for people that are not technology oriented, as they can also use the service, making it a very broad customer base. Where do they get all this information you say? Not from the internet like you and me, but they pay seasoned travelers to come up with all that stuff. As they share their experience, these seasoned travelers or the locals gain the PLS tokens, and they can sell it in exchanges, or use the tokens for their own travels. This goes into the gig economy, and it is great that using such decentralized services, you can get any and all your needs fulfilled by people doing the service. Think of this like Uber of travel, but decentralized. Having no central authority means reduced fees and freedom of choosing whatever path you deem the best. The reviews about the locals and the seasoned travelers providing the advice will be on the blockchain, which means it cannot be hacked, changed or manipulated. This is similar to what Bob’s repair is doing, and they will tie the money transactions to the review, which means people doing the review are the people doing the hiring. Last but not least, they have an excellent domain and this will help them make a large impact in the travel world. All they need after the ICO is a TV ad and they will all be set up!

AuthorI work for REA as rapporteur and Vice Chair, evaluating projects. Now I am reviewing ICOs using a positive language. Nothing fancy or academic here, just your everyday language. Archives
