The future of an augmented, smart media tokenized world will probably look quite strange...
I say that because in the future, every brand and product that you can engage with in the real world, will have a token associated with it.
You will receive tokens for engaging with content, experiences, and products.
The more you engage with a brand, the more that brand will incentivize you to engage with it.
Instead of coupons and discounts, you'll just collect tokens. The more tokens you collect, the cheaper things will be for you.
This concept becomes quite obvious when it comes to brand loyalty. Imagine how much you would commit to particular brands simply to save up that brand's tokens.
Can you imagine what it would look like if (for instance) Apple incentivized you to stop using Microsoft products?
Of course, governments and big data systems will want in on the action as well and thus, you'll be paid in tokens to share your daily living activity.
Your city will even hold events like "national water conservation day" where your water usage will be tracked and you'll receive a percentage of "city utility tokens" for participating and helping the city to achieve it's goals.
Thus, you'll have numerous (maybe even hundreds) of income streams that are all integrated into your modern day life.
In a world in which biology and technology have merged and Smart Media Tokens augment our reality, strange circumstances begin to unfold for @axios...
Disclaimer: I'm by no means talking down SMT's, just thinking about the possibilities of the not-too-far-off future...
