On this technological era, everything is online so it has to be fast. This is why digital franchises are being the bomb! There is no time, what can be better than doing things in one click? Remember the google micro moments?
When a person wants something, they want it given to them right away, no waiting, I want it and I want it now! And you know what the good thing about digital services is? That you can help the people that ask for it with high margins! As stated before, technological franchises are in the boom because its very "easy" to handle the business.

Bitcoins and Blockchain businesses are one of the biggest buzzwords in the financial technology industry; They are having an incredible massive demand, as they're having much bigger value than bitcoins to investors thinking about the future. What Bitcoins do is that they decentralise money, they remove the requirement for a third person to enable transactions. Blockchains? Well, now imagine you could do the same but now for computer code. Amazing right?

We get used to things being wireless and THAT is why this market is growing because we want to carry the less devices and connected. The less effort the better, having all our devices connected to each other, the BEST.
Biotechnology is one of the strangest and scariest interesting stock market to invest in. In how many other industries are companies striving to save lives? I know!
