What is IoT? The Internet of Things (IoT) is a collective name for hardware devices linked to the internet from high-level devices such as smartphones to very simple devices like a kitchen device or a sensor. The IoT market has been on an upward trend for... #bitvault #blockchain #blockchainphone
IoT and Blockchain, a Match made in Heaven

2011 - a very relevant year
The PC and Web is dead
I still remember a team meeting in 2007 at ip.labs:
"The PC will die very soon, we have to shift our power and focus to smart devices." Most of my team thought: again this rushy, emotional fan-boy.
2011 is the year that everything changed: Consumer have bought more smart devices than PCs (incl. Windows, OS X, Linux). And in 2011 people have already spent more time in Apps than using a Web-Browser.
It is already the fastest adoption in human-history; but trust me, this is just the beginning and it will change the rules in our industry.
Some thoughts:
My mother can now choose and run trusted 3rd party Apps
The Web is dead!
Everybody will spent more time with these devices than with anything else
Finally always connected (3G, 4G, WiFi)
The World Wide Web is the last platform you should worry about
For me this is the break-through we where hoping for in 1999. But the time is now and we will see many new billion euro companies in the next 1-3 years.
Steve Jobs
Only very few people change our life deeply and everlasting.
Socrates, Plato and Aristotle defined most of the underling framework for our system today. The three where groundbreaking and without them we could not achieve all the other great stuff we have build on top of their system.
Steve Jobs has done exactly the same: He created a groundbreaking technologies, systems and concepts that will change how we life forever. He leapfrogged normal development/optimization cycles and changed the rules. More astonishing, he did this with several industries. I know many do not like the hype around him, but I totally disagree. We will see and feel his true power in the years to come. And I know today that he will give me inspiration, emotional-power and much more until the day I die.
Some thoughts for 2012
I feel a positive change in Europe:
The Startup Eco-System is growing and becoming more connected
More people want to build companies based on passion, technology and design
Berlin is a great hub that is growing every day. It helps us a lot!
Great funds have no problem finding LPs
More people understand: Copycats are no real Startups
I hope Oli will become the Keynote speaker of the biggest Franchise Conference and tell people how to execute and do channel marketing for e.g. building the biggest Burger or Outlet chain in the world. He is a brilliant business man and executer. But for me Startups are about passion, technology and risk.
In 2012 I will work with amazing people to hopefully create great disruptive products. I'm incredibly lucky and will work hard and focused.
