Hey Blizzld, it has been a while!

I have a question (or many) about this blockchain thing. I admit I do not understand it. But what I think I see (and correct me if I'm wrong) is that the financing of the past with all of the Convertible Debentures has been a terrible form of financing for new companies. This crypto form of financing might open the doors to a better form of financing, especially in geographical areas where large companies don't want to go. If that provides a sort of anonymous investor pool return without the specific toxic note-holder stuff, why would that not be a good "other" form of financing for small to medium sized energy projects? (Doesn't this form of financing spread the risk over many investors on many projects rather than a single lender on a single project with all of the pitfalls?)

I don't know if it really works or not but if it does and provides an asset, like etf's or mutual funds, e.g. in which investors can invest with some feedback, then is this blockchain thing overdone? (I thought ETF's were overdone some time ago. Ha, forget that!). I don't know how to gauge the validity of this although "blockchain" appears to be a very real and useful thing.

As always I would appreciate your views.
