The next generation internet, the Internet of Things, cannot work
without an Internet of Value. The Internet of Value -- or ValueWeb, for
short -- allows machines to trade with machines and people with people,
anywhere on this planet in real-time and for free. The problem is that
our old system cannot work that way, as it takes days to process and
costs a fortune. Using a combination of technologies from mobile
devices, wearables and the bitcoin blockchain, fintech firms are
building the ValueWeb regardless. What does that mean for financial
institutions, governments and citizens? This book provides the answers.
