Recap of #paytech2015 Twitter chat with Zooz

Yesterday, I took part in a fast paced and engaging Twitter chat on the future of mobile payments, hosted by Zooz, a company that develops technology for the modern enterprise that wants to optimize online payments. There was an amazing panel of guest experts with plenty of experience and knowledge about the payment industry. I was definitely impressed. While there was a lot of enthusiasm about the possibilities mobile payments will open up, I was surprised to see a lot of critical comments about things such as the actual value in using cryptocurrency. My take away from the chat? There are a lot of developments happening in the field of mobile payments, and the future seems ripe for innovation.
