wallets to using the credit card in the store because you've removed the human element you don't have the cashier taking your credit card potentially you know copying it or memorizing it or whatever. and you will it is definitely more secure in the sense that. you don't have to worry about terry physically keeping the cash with you all the time and having enough to pay. every time i give my kids cash they seem to lose some of this for example if they never lose their falls. so when it comes to security let's make a good impression but what about user data and the electronic transaction leaves a digital footprint when it comes to wallets that information is not only available to my bank but also to service providers like google or pay pal digital wallet is just another step towards transparent customers i mean cash has

a certain anonymity to it that people like. that you don't quite have in the same way with with digital currency. digital transactions create footprints which many providers also use data about payments absolutely is being used about you absolutely some huge industry people making lots of money by analyzing payment flows from many users however the advantages outweigh the risks. all of these private corporations know exactly what you're spending behavior is like what you are like as a shop your your behavior patterns essentially and that might be uncomfortable for some people but i personally it's not a big issue i would rather my transactions be tracked. safe rather than not tracked but not say. in the end

we need to choose what's most important to us. fun fact in germany we're huge fans of hot cash hardly anyone uses wallets here other european countries are less cash crazy is going to navia more people prefer a mobile payment and in many asian countries it has long become a part of daily life china expects half a 1000000000 customers to use wallets in 2090. and it's no wonder it's simpler less expensive and quicker than your plastic bag if i wanted to transfer money from my regular bank on a friday afternoon for example i have to wait until monday morning for it to be processed when i use my wallet the recipient instantly receives the money along with the message that it has arrived and the best part is i don't always need a bank account for about. the world bank estimates that globally about 1700000000

the project has raised international criticism but facebook's entrance on to the strongly regulated financial market should give mobile payments another boost i think most likely in the next 5 years we will see big movements towards global capabilities because of players like we chat and facebook and others with this massive platform reach pushing the sector forward and as they. sort of helped break down the barriers with governments to get on board and allow this cross jurisdictional use country to country use of these kinds of currency it will become easier and easier. facebook's idea isn't necessarily new evil it's using crypto currency is a bit coin have been around for years they encrypt transactions with blocks in technology which makes them particularly safe. crypto currencies only exist

with specific crypto currencies the advantages of digital wallets are they're easy to use they allow for quick transactions with a high level of security at least when you follow basic data protection guidelines one big disadvantage is the sensitive data you leave behind when you pay how much money i spend on water and when is very interesting to businesses and they're willing to pay huge amounts to know what's it like for you wish you well as to you use and why. that has not become a part of the shift community on you tube and subscribe to our channel been look at everything from odd official intelligence and robotics to gaming and gadgets here they are by by.
