Everyone knows that the 4th industrial revolution has to be data-driven and the biggest tech companies are racing to position them selfs for more data-oriented businesses, but given the fact that data storage is the biggest issue for them, blockchain can find itself very useful in this situation. One of the biggest things to watch out for in the coming years would be companies that align them selfs with the crypto community or are developing a blockchain of their own. For example, Samsung is one of the biggest phone producers in the world, more and more people are using phones as they go compared to a pc. Imagine implementing a hardware wallet to make your own blockchain network. Making it more secure and positioning your self storing or controlling all of the input data from a phone.
This could be a new internet, without the problem of building huge servers to store the data for business applications. It could be stored on your phone on your hardware wallet nice and safe!

Vice President of Samsung Electronics, Joowan Kim, who is also in charge of major mobile service strategy and business development just announced a partnership with a blockchain company called Lympo which has been building a data platform based on health trackers and fitness activity (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AenafGYSrho&t=) (have your English subtitles on). The most important aspect of it is that using Lympo you can choose if you what to store your data safely or you can monetize it. I think the future will be based on voluntary data exposure, imagine if all of the phones on the market are stealing your data and selling them to the biggest bidder (kinda like now) and you can choose to keep it safe or monetising it for your self, getting rewards from it. The choice is clear! It looks like Samsung is looking in too that direction partnering up with blockchain data platform companies like Lympo and building a new internet based on safeguarding your data on a hardware wallet, most important giving you the choice of selling your own data, making you own it. In that case, making Samsung one of the biggest sellers of data. Keep in mind all of the biggest companies like Google and Facebook, makes the most money from ads and the only way they can sell most of them is using the data provided by their users. If you control the data the advertisers are forced to work with you. What do you think, is Samsung is really planning to do this? Is project like Lympo are setup for tremendous growth? (Not shilling but what your honest opinion) Have you seen any company taking steps to insure to be on top of the 4th industrial revolution? Please share more information on the future tech and how blockchain-based solutions may play a part in it. Thanks in advance! Cheesy

Blockchain in itself has a huge part to play in the 4th industrial revolution. With its decentralized transactions, banks would go down and be replaced with it. Plus, with the recent news of how development of quantum computers is progressing, you can guess already how blockchain coupled with quantum computers would dominate the 4th industrial revolution. There's also the probable release of SWIFT with how Japan pushes for international network for cryptocurrency payments. That also shows how blockchain is already a large part of the upcoming revolution

"Now Reuters reports, based on anonymous sources, that the country's government is at the lead of an effort to create a SWIFT-style system to manage cryptocurrency payments and supposedly battle money laundering."

Reading more about it how it works. I think they might go with a closed type of blockchain for in bank transactions or they might migrate to the native hardware model I have described in the original text(using phone implemented hardware wallets and encryption). Or I am wrong? I would like to hear your take on it!
