I've lost faith completely in smart contracts and Ethereum, the whole situation is ridiculous and I'm very much inclined to think it was an inside job, perhaps from a former dev if you are not into the crazy conspiracy stuff. The whole thing is just years ahead from working in the real world. Airbnb and Uber are great, if you want to use a lock you can buy one on Amazon and use a password, doesn't get much easier than that. Complete decentralization is ridiculous, is something that will never catch on unless it's controlled/centralized at some point. Apple and Google can be decentralized and have multiple nodes and branches all over the world and enjoy the same security benefits. Many of these companies probably will use one global blockchain that THEY will be able to control, just like Ethereum did with the DAO. I'm sure as hell they won't be using no Bitcoin, Ethereum, Lisk or whatever cryptoanarcho weirdos think it's cool. Yes Microsoft, Samsung, whatever, are interested, they take a peek and promote some conferences over the world, then they hire the best who can actually help them with their problems.

If the slock.it guys were so revolutionary they would be already full backed by VC. All these projects are out to get your BTC/Fiat sooner or later, you can still make money but don't ever lose sight of that. You can have a decentralized project without any bs coins and tokens based on BTC, if it works you start charging companies and offer entreprise plans, like Dropbox and many others did.
