Cloudmoney: Cash, Cards, Crypto and the War for our Wallets
by Brett Scott
A non-technical look at the growth of non-cash forms of payments. Scott looks at why big finance and big tech are driving us towards digital or ‘cloudmoney’, looking at who will benefit from this shift and who won’t. He argues this is not an inevitable process, but a fight for our digital footprint and that it has serious implications for our freedom.
