With the rise of the mobile economy and its merging with new technologies like blockchain, the traditional web is being left behind.
The mobile economy represents a lucrative opportunity for innovators, who can reach consumers more directly but also less expensively.
There are several factors that have spurred the rapid rise of the mobile economy.
The nascent "Gig economy" and other new economic models are directly tied to how efficiently mobile technology connects the world.
The mobile economy once again decentralized communication, allowing users to dispense with the stationary and take their personalized online worlds on the go.
The integration of blockchain with the mobile economy will mean freedom from these middlemen, and better services based on data that can be attributed to individual peers specifically.
What Can We Do in a Trustless Mobile Economy?The expansion of the traditional web brings a set of familiar and new opportunities to industries in certain verticals, such as AI companies, automakers, ride-hailing services, drones, insurance, and more.
Just as the internet once offered new models itself, the blockchain-supported mobile economy will see a plethora of pipe-dream ideas form the new reality very quickly.
People using a mobile interface to connect with a similar service in their area could see a real-time map of drones available and their capabilities, and employ the drone on-demand, with payment being sent automatically to the owner's blockchain wallet.
With blockchain, value can be generated and consumed without needing to travel through an intermediary, naturally lending greater autonomy to mobile members of a network.
