Last night there was a pre-sale of the Pillar Token which goes live this Sunday 15 July. I've been pretty skeptical of ICO's in the past but I felt that it was time to get my feet wet on this one.
There were many disgruntled buyers who missed the opportunity because they thought they would have more time, alas they were all gone in 30 minutes. The good news is that it was only the pre-sale, and you can still pick some up on 15 July at the main sale.
Its an exciting project to say the least. It will be a digital interface between you and the digital world. Instead of having multiple accounts, apps, login details and passwords, the Pillar Meta-Token will act as the bridge between all of these and you will only ever be using Pillars, though "underneath" there may be many different tokens that it natively handles for you. Atomic ID and decentralization of all your data means you own your data. It makes each individual a sovereign entity with regards to their data on the internet, and is not stored by a third party on their servers.
The personal assistant means that data and services come to you. What this means is that say you are planning a trip, flights, car rentals, hotel bookings etc. will all be handled by the personal assistant, bringing all that information to you via smart contracts which you then digitally sign. A visit to the doctor means no paper work, and the prescriptions are sent digitally so all you do is show up and collect your meds.
Your passports and identity documents will all exist as part of your digital identity existing on the blockchain, so no unnecessary lines to wait in. As opposed to you searching different websites for things you're looking for, the AI brings them to you from all over the web based on what you're looking for and your interests. You can monetize yourself by seeing only the content you want to see, and provide a platform for advertisers who share your interests to work through.
It really is a digital dashboard for your online life. Being open-source, it means everyone can get involved and innovate on the platform.
In my opinion its one to watch! It feels like the future. I think it is the future.
Thanks for reading.
