The Future: A Tokenized World Where YOU Get Paid For Most Of What You Do; Not Someone Else!!!!

The blockchain is taking over. I believe at this point it is a fact that cannot be disputed. Banks are working hard to develop their own blockchain. We know logistical companies are turning to manage the supply chain. Even MIT is putting their diplomas up on the blockchain.

What does this all mean? To me, I see a world where tokens are the norm. Many people cannot figure out how this works. I spoke to some who try to equate them to stock which it is not.

Basically, the future is going to be tokenized which is great for the average person. At present, we live in a "siloed" digital world. What that means is we have a bunch of large companies (apps) that were built on the different Internet protocols (TCP/IP. HTML, SMTP) that are worth a fortune. Their worth comes from people being in their ecosystem which they control. Since they dictate what goes on there, they are the ones compensated by companies looking to access those on that ecosystem.

Hence we see Facebook, Apple, and others making billions off our focus AND information. Companies pay for big money for our attention. The problem with this concept is that they do not pay us. Instead, advertisers spend money on T.V, in magazines, and on the web to target us. The data they buy from these ecosystems allows them to better solicit us since they know our habits and routines.

This is all coming to the end. In the future, the mantra will be "PAY ME". If a company wants either my focus or data, they will have to compensate me. No more will they be able to go through a third party for that. In a tokenized world, whatever I do is going to profit me, not some abstract entity controlled by Wall Street.

We already see the foundations of this in place. On steemit here, we are compensated for posting, commenting and upvoting. Our attention on this social media platform is rewarded unlike other social media sites which rewards the owners (or Wall Street) Fortunately, this idea is being expanded into many areas.

These are some of the open source, blockchain based platforms that are being developed (if they are not out already) right now:

-Search
-Radio
-Storage
-Social Media
-Web Browsing
-Messenging
-Shopping

In a tokenized world, you are paid for what you do and watch. If a company wants you to see an ad, they will have to pay you. The ecosystem concept is replaced by the blockchain. Now, all those dollars that went to large corporations will go to individuals.

This is the power of cryptocurrencies. Amazon wants me on their website, I need to get tokens for just being there. The same holds true for Netflix. They better give me a reason to spend time on there over Hulu. Whatever we do as individuals will be compensated.

I envision there will be a day where we have 50-100 income streams. More of our world is going digital which means that we have the ability to get tokens for whatever takes place in that form. Even something like our medical records have a value to researchers. For them to use it, guess what happens? You got it..tokens in return.

The world is changing very rapidly. I believe we are going to see huge advancements in the blockchain in 2018 in regards to implementation. It truly will be the technology of the year. This is great news for individuals since we are going to see the power over our online world move back in our control. We are only at the beginning stages. Within 5 years, I predict everyone reading these words will have at least 10 streams of income.

That is the way I see the future.
