Transformative aspects

• becoming cross-sectorial, no longer alone master of our domain

Opportunities

• concentrate on areas dear to us, while profiting from other elements provided from other sources (look at use cases)

Risks

• not good enough user-friendlyness makes the wallet-ecosystem fail as a whole
• GAFAMs to impose their way (including browsers as "their" tool, interference with their business interests) with the additional risk of "walled gardens"
