The wallet will be obsolete in 4 years

So says PayPal President Scott Thompson in a blog post announcing the 100 millionth active account on his company’s service:

As the trend toward digital currency continues to gain momentum, we are focused on delivering solutions that are not just new and different, but better than what is currently the norm today. We believe that by 2015 digital currency will be accepted everywhere in the U.S. – from your local corner store to Walmart. We will no longer need to carry a wallet.

Are you ready for that?
