CoinCheckUp
Conclusion
I would give Zebi an A rating. Now the question that is on everybody's mind when it comes to this project is whether this is anything like ICON. I am here to tell you that this project is starting to look exactly like ICON but better. Now there is no denying that icon has proven itself and has built a great team and has a lot of partners. However, I am not trying to say that this project is better then ICON but the fact that it has more potential then ICON. Zebi will be a lower market cap by far, very under the radar, just starting to make governmental partnerships, solid team, plus bigger opportunity in India. India is hoping to have at least 20 cities be part of a smart economy by 2020, and Zebi is already partnered with one and in talks with 2 more. India has the second greatest population and is one of the largest growing economies in the world. Less then 30 percent of the population has smartphones so this opportunity is beyond that of ICON. Now it may take longer for Zebi to be as great as ICON but I think that if everything continues to go right with this project we will see this project be a leader in India and be a potential top 10 project.
