Part 10/14:
Looking into the realm of outlandish applications, Antonopoulos explores the exciting possibilities enabled by removing traditional constraints:
Autonomous Money Control: Software agents can control and distribute funds independently, such as an autonomous charity startup that responds automatically to disasters.
Machine Ownership of Money: Autonomous systems like self-driving taxis could own, lease, and operate themselves entirely, even without human heirs—driving a new mode of emancipation of ownership.
Nano-payments and IoT: Payment channels could facilitate microtransactions measured in milliseconds or fractions of cents, enabling entirely new economic models—though precise applications are yet to be imagined.
