When the World Goes Phygital!!!!
The Forefront Journal publishes essays from the frontier of consumer and social crypto. This is a guest essay from Aleksija Vujicic. In the future, fashion and commerce will be phygital (no matter how much you hate the word). It could look a little like this: After purchasing a Staud bag online, it arrives embedded with an NFC chip.
