Once the machines are doing everything, we will be making whatever it is that other people value. We’ll also be consuming, as well as the output of the machines, whatever it is that we value from the production of others.

Yes, this quite possibly could mean a society in which absolutely everything is done by the machines except for the amassing of collectibles on blockchain. A CryptoKitty licking a human face, forever. Note, though, that this will only be true if we’ve run out of other things we want, and everything except this frivolity is catered to. That is, we’ve all got everything we want – and what would be so terrible about a world like that?

Leveraging blockchain for your IoT data offers new ways to automate business processes among your partners without setting up a complex and expensive centralized IT infrastructure. Blockchain’s data protection fosters stronger working relationship with your partners and greater efficiency as partners take advantage of the information provided.
IBM Watson IoT Platform enables IoT devices to send data to private blockchain ledgers for inclusion in shared transactions with distributed records, maintained by consensus, and cryptographically hashed.
