As the price of bitcoin has dominated mainstream media headlines, key influencers within the fintech industry have been focused on a broader range of issues. According to research and consulting firm GlobalData, the topics that key influencers are discussing with as much intensity as bitcoin are drones, chatbots, wearables, and data science.
The topics discussed on social media differed across the globe, with chatbots taking centre stage in Germany. There was significant discussion on smart cities in China, and wearables were a more popular topic than bitcoin in the US.
