I believe this area is where the real upside is possible going forward - massive market, natural integration of crypto and trading is obvious. Which projects do you think one should have a look at ?
The biggest problem I have with power based projects is the fact that in order to be useful they would need to be mass-adopted onto grids. I really dont see any large power grid companies deciding to try to use any of these new systems for that, and there really aren't any local opportunities for people to experiment on a small scale.
Thank you for your answer - I think the scale of the projects in the energy space can be problematic if it is not a real team that already has built up substantial connections and pilot projects with the large utilities.
The deregulation that will take place especially in Europe will be a driving force and the peer to peer platforms that will develop are natural for tokens - which may enable long term value. Deregulation at the same time as decentralisation through blockchain can be the number one driver across the token space.
In Europe, there is only one that I have found so far - Prosume Energy - team members with extensive energy experience AND blockchain backgrounds, and then advisors from Ernst and Young as well as a sovereign wealth fund.
I agree with you that serious contacts are needed - but look at that team and their project.
Prosume Energy - what do you think ?
