No joke
Wal-mart applied for a crytpo-currency patent.
The article flat states that wallyworld has ‘no plans for the patent at this time’, but the fact that they are making the move, even preemptively, tells me something. They even suggest in the article that wally is going to leave the currency aspect alone, focusing instead on the blockchain side.
Recall some of my last posts about this, that blockchain is the core idea here: One loaded with massive security features that protect the end user specifically. This is progressing very quickly, almost as fast as the doubling of memory every year. It’s something you are going to want to be at least familiar with because at current course and speed, we WILL see something coming out of all this that will have a direct impact on how you do things in the real world. Having a heads up on it will help a lot when suddenly you find people paying for things with what looks like a thumb-drive, and the teller looks at you weird when you hand her cash,,,,
