2017 and Digitalization

We think you can describe the year 2017 with regards to digitalization as follows.

Hot topics were:

• Bitcoin (and blockchain and the other cryptocurrencies)
  (https://digitalization-lab.blogspot.de/search/label/bitcoin, https://digitalization-lab.blogspot.de/search/label/blockchain, https://digitalization-lab.blogspot.de/search/label/cryptocurrency)
• Artificial Intelligence and robots
  (https://digitalization-lab.blogspot.de/search/label/ai, https://digitalization-lab.blogspot.de/search/label/robots)
• Consequences of digitalization in retail
  (https://digitalization-lab.blogspot.de/search/label/retail, https://digitalization-lab.blogspot.de/search/label/amazon)
• Consequences of digitalization for work and labour markets
  (https://digitalization-lab.blogspot.de/search/label/work)

We are looking forward to follow these aspects - and more - in 2018!!

Have a good start into 2018!

A record-breaking year - the global economy in 10 charts

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/dec/30/a-record-breaking-year-the-global-economy-in-10-charts:

"Probably the financial story of the year. Even though there are fears of a coming crash, 2017 will go down as the year of the cryptocurrency. Bitcoin’s rise has been meteoric, beginning the year valued at about $1,000 and reaching almost $20,000 by the middle of December. There have been wild swings on the way, with the currency losing more than a quarter of its value in a single day this month, before staging a recovery. Economists think bitcoin has all the telltale signs of a bubble, with worrying parallels to the Tulip mania of the 17th century, when the price of bulbs crashed in spectacular fashion after a buying frenzy."

We support The Guardian here. The similiarity to the Tulip mania in the Netherlands is striking and should be a warning. Bitcoin is speculation, not a currency. And the most ironic aspect is the reason for the rise: the traditional finance system (see http://digitalization-lab.blogspot.de/2017/12/why-is-bitcoins-price-so-high.html).
