THE INTERNET OF PROPERTY

Bitcoin will make property flow like the internet made content flow

DECENTRALISED AUTONOMOUS CORPORATIONS

Algorithmic companies that run on millions of computers at the

same time, without a single point of failure, control or

censorship.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

MORE DECENTRALISING TECHNOLOGY THAN EVER

MORE SOCIAL DEMAND FOR THIS THAN EVER

THE INTERNET OF THINGS

PLATFORM IS THE NEW CORPORATION

CROWD IS THE NEW WORKFORCE

THE COLLABORATIVE ECONOMYA world in which algorithms,

corporations, machines, people and other platforms are

producing and consuming peer-to-peer, through platforms.

WE DONT LIVE IN AN ERA OF CHANGE, BUT IN A CHANGE OF ERAS

DECENTRALISATION, AUTONOMISATION, CROWD-SOURCING.

THE ERA OF PLATFORMS AND SMART MONEY
