> Omise + OmiseGO, the future of payment > Omise was launched in 2013 > developed and launched: >> Omise FacePay, an AI and facial recognition software for loyalty programs >> Omise Blockchain Lab, founded in 2015, now known as OmiseGO
> How does OmiseGO fit into Omise's main business? > OmiseGO is an ETH-based blockchain network that will allow people to transfer money interchangeably from one platform to another, regardless of geographic or institutions jurisdiction > OmiseGO will become the status quo for decentralized payment and exchange services
> Confirmed Apple rumor > The iPhone 8 has facial recognition technology > powered by PrimeSense, the creator of the Kinect motion sensor > Apple acquired PrimeSense back in 2013 for over $300 million > According to HomePod Firmware, Apple will utilize the facial recognition tech into Apple Pay > Apple Pay only works with newer iOS technologies
> Which smartphone are the most popular in Thailand? > Before I answer this, let's not forget that Omise also operates in Taiwan, Singapore, and Indonesia. I am only looking at Thailand, because it seems their main focus for Omise & OmiseGO from what we can tell. > According to a smartphone market studies in Thailand by the W*S Thailand Research Group, Samsung is the most popular brand* > This is especially true for older generations, 30 years old and above > However, the iPhone is much more popular among the younger generations in Thailand > iPhone also has a higher brand loyalty and most people have intentions on buying one in the future > Although the iPhone is quite expensive, most people who have one do like it
Alright so what? > Apple Pay is not operating in Thailand, but it is operating in China, Taiwan, and Singapore among others > Omise has the advantage here, or at least in Thailand (1/2)
> Can Omise dethrone Apple Pay? > This will be a hail marry attempt, because they will need OmiseGO to takeoff. > OmiseGO is the attempt to bridge different financial services to each other > This can already be done with the traditional banking network or credit card networks, but it's too time consuming and costly
Now let's see... > Omise FacePay is a thing > iPhone 8 has facial recognition technology > Apple Pay does not operate in Thailand > Omise has the opportunity to use one of its competitor's service against it, and furthermore popularizing OmiseGO in Thailand & the rest of the Asia-Pacific market > Can Omise & OmiseGO penetrate the western market? > Probably not... you have too many giants over here trying to do their own thing. > Omise built a blockchain payment network, OmiseGO, that hopes to bridge all of these payment networks together > Paypal, Samsung Pay, Apple Pay, Alipay, etc. > Does it has potential? Yes.
> September news to look out for > Disrupt SF 2017 > Sept. 18-20 > Jun, CEO of Omise, will be on the ICO panel > will talk about Omise and their ICO, Omisego (2/2)
