I think A_MCGriff nailed it.
https://dzone.com/articles/what-blockchain-can-do-for-the-internet-of-thingsRegarding Darkdev`s link, I think that securing IOT end nodes is not the job of the blockchain and some solution needs to be developed to secure them and allow IOT to mature.
Once end nodes are secured, (Verge) Blockchain can allow micro payments/ smart contracts between them. transactions will be also secured, Verge combo public ledger/ but 127.0.0.1 would fit great here imo.
I think suppliers need to have verge/other crypto functionality already installed in E-sim(for cars) or fridge software/ other device etc, not their customers/average Joe. maybe they are going to use more blockchains , each one for specific services; great if Verge would be used for microtransactions.
Here we need the b2b partnerships that verge would need to win in order to get more adoption.
In an interview you mentioned that once you guys deploy a couple of more things (including RSK) you are going to go out and sell more the benefits of Verge.
But you also said you are not going to approach it as "door to door", like selling vacuum cleaners and that everyone should come to the "crypto shop" and look around.
In my opinion, a coin is located in the "crypto shop"when it is present in the industry - conferences/youtube/blogs/blockchain events and once this is done, individual companies will come to look and choose between verge and X coin to run it through their ecommerce platform etc. if not , verge does not exist in comparison with the other coin competitors.
I`d love to see a plan to build partnerships, maybe employ people for biz dev, but i dunno how getting funding will work out if VC money is out of the question.
Thanks for replying to my comment & apologies for not being clear enough, English is not my 1st language.
BTW, great move with the interviews, this is how people will trust verge even more.
