Ownership(@ownershipfm):HiveBits founder Nemanja on how a software engineer investing in NFTs ended up tokenizing beehives "By profession I'm a software engineer, computer science background. I joined this whole crypto thing not as a developer, I joined as a small investor in NFT and node projects." "During this process of investing, buying, supporting other people, I realized, okay, maybe I can offer a hive onchain. And then we came up with a concept we call hive as a node." "A beehive on the top, there are real bees producing, and then we developed one device, an IoT device we put below the beehive so we can track it. And then we got this hive as a node, a tokenized beehive." "So practically, we tried to find a solution to make the process transparent, and here we are now. The rest is history."

Ownership Report #17#: HiveBits (@hivebits_io) HiveBits is tokenizing beehives, and we got founder Nemanja (@0xbeesmart) on right after their @futarddotio ICO and a roadshow win. Every hive is a node: real bees on top, an IoT device underneath streaming honey yield, hive health and harvest conditions. That hardware takes one beekeeper from 300 hives to 500, and the same data feeds researchers working on colony collapse disorder. The revenue is not just honey either, there is propolis, swarms sold to other beekeepers, and bee venom feeding an $80 billion natural cosmetics market. Plus three pivots, 50 hives presold in Belgrade, and why @MetaDAOProject was the structure that finally fit. Full breakdown below: 0:00 Welcome and what HiveBits is building 1:59 Why beekeeping is usually in your DNA 2:44 From software engineering to hive as a node 3:45 What it actually takes to tokenize a beehive 6:11 Taking one beekeeper from 300 hives to 500 6:45 Bee venom, the king of all bee products 8:29 Three pivots, and the first 50 hives sold in Belgrade 10:31 The farm in Bosnia and the apitherapy center in Serbia 12:41 Colony collapse disorder and 30 percent fewer bees 14:46 Bad seasons, five year averages and data driven beekeeping 16:36 Scaling horizontally, vertically, and through other beekeepers 18:08 Why Western Europe, honey prices and fake honey 19:24 Why MetaDAO and why futarchy 21:50 How the ICO actually went 23:05 Is futarchy founder unfriendly 25:56 What he is most looking forward to Hosted by @8bitpenis Produced by @BlockformerLLC Powered by @MetaDAOProject & @UmbraPrivacy
