Welcome to the Blockchain Report sponsored by Sun Fund. 

 

This episode is hosted by Ian McGrady, Director of Communications at Sun Fund, and it is Co-Hosted by Scott Licamele, co-founder of Sun Fund.

 

In a nutshell: Market volatility may create opportunities to get in on blockchain-based renewable energy offers that use blockchain to disintermediate/administrate small to renewable energy projects which had been previously hampered in adoption, in part, by administrative costs.

 

We start with a larger market context provided by this article in the New York Times about the stock market taking a dive today.  

 

The falling market presents an opportunity to look to the renewable energy market which is growing. People may find interest in the non-commoditized aspect of the market (not solar panel manufacturers). Renewabe companies are offering investment exposure to debt or equity and are also combining blockchain fintech disintermediation technology that can grow the sector by providing incentives for all parties. Investors can look to such stories for upside exposure.

 

Please note: This is opinion, not investment advice. Investments are dangerous and people can lose their money, and sometimes, even multiples of what they invest if they are not careful. Please consult with a qualified, professional financial advisor about any investment.
