Blockchain is well known to take out the middle man. It takes this a step further than well known disruptors like AirBnB and UBER. Take UBER as an example. If the taxi driver and passenger would be able to connect without UBER through a blockchain, no commission would need to be paid to UBER.
This is applicable for many other markets too. If we take a look at knowledge. Currently consultancy firms and intermediates take up the role to connect people with knowledge and people that are looking for help. This works relatively well for larger projects with multiple people involved. But….How does it work for smaller tasks?
If you just need a quick advise how to remove a virus, advice on terms and conditions or how to build a table, would you go through a middle man? Would it not be easier to save that 10% to connect directly through the blockchain. This is where Expert.io comes in. The remove the middle man for knowledge. Allowing people to easily give advise over the internet from their homes. Creating new business models.
