Great article, thanks. I agree that more widespread "tokenisation" looks like the next step - 2.0 as you put it well.
Just wait until Facebook, Amazon etc bring out their own token and then the masses will start to "get it".
The pace of change from here on is going to be immense!
Facebook is already partnering with Litecoin.
The challenge for them bringing out their own token is that, in the US, a company then puts itself under the security/banking laws if it is centralized. If they were smart, they would decentralize a token with their name on it so they wouldnt have to answer to the Feds. Of course, doing that gives up control, not something I am sure they want to do.
Wow, I'd missed news of the link up between Facebook and Lite coin (there's so much to keep track of!). I was already a lite coin fan (even more so now!).
It would make sense for Facebook to create their own token to encourage mass adoption but I understand there is plenty of red tape in the US....
