Bitcoin has reached its full potential when you store your hardware wallet on your smartphone or hardware wallet. Additionally saved to your bitcoin hotwallet private key, you will have a pair of private car keys and the home key stored on your device. You will need the keys to start the engine of your car, and you will sell your car with transfering the token through the blockchain to the new owner in exchange to some satoshi.

Start using your brain and start to see the future.

You are soon flying back after a two week business trip out the country. Whilst walking through the airport departure lounge your phone PA agent app offers to arrange a taxi to pick you up at the other end and drive you home. You tap yes and via your inbuilt hardware smart wallet the agent instantly books a cab and pays with bitcoin. You order a beer and pay with bitcoin using the contactless payment system from your phone. Your phone offers to get the cleaner in to tidy up the house before you arrive home but you decide against it as the place wasn't too messy when you left. It is the end of the month and whilst you wait your phone bill and electricity bills appear on the screen. Bugger you think and tap pay as they are paid instantly with a few precious satoshis debited from your wallet. Today is the local council election and using your cryptographically secure election coloured coin you received last month you decide to spoil your ballot and abstain after perusing the available candidates.

The cloud agent app informs the other smart devices in your home of your imminent arrival and the fridge responds that it is low on milk and groceries..would you like replacements ordered in and your usual schedule restarting? You tap yes and the fridge orders and pays for new supplies from your favourite supermarket instantly using bitcoin. The plane is delayed and the agent automatically delays the DAC autocab for you. You stretch your smart device to widen the screen and stream a new movie in 3d from netflix for a few bits.

Finally you land and after picking up your luggage you walk out to the taxi rank. Numerous empty driverless autocabs are waiting and you hold your phone against the door of the nearest vehicle. It opens and drives you home directly avoiding all red lights and traffic. You lug your bags up the stairs to your plush flat and hold your phone up to the door lock but to your horror discover the battery is dead and you are locked out - damn iphone 10 - should have got the android.
