Gruvi Weekly Digest #6 — A weekly catch up on what we found interesting at Gruvi.

From digital currencies to devices interacting directly with their users- it’s undeniable that all things digital are infusing day to day life. It goes beyond our dependency on our smartphones and ‘social’ becoming an abbreviation for ‘social media’. At the same time, storytelling remains a relevant concept. More than that, as in the case of crowdfunding for movies, you need to tell a story to gather the resources for telling a story.

The great chain of being sure about things via The Economist
It’s always great to see a mainstream publication like The Economist bring tech literacy to the masses. Here they explore an idea which the media has been loath to approach, arguably for a lack of understanding: how blockchains are more than just a basis for digital currencies. They have the power to revolutionize and mediate trust, leading to a far more transparent, incorruptible, and disintermediated world.
