While we in the tech world we are often focused on cutting edge innovation, just as important as innovation itself is the manner in which the innovation is presented. People are drawn to an item be it a car, a computer, or a website not simply if it provides utility to the end-user, but if it is pleasant to look at. Therefore, we should look to design to gain a more complete understanding as to how innovation can be delivered in a manner that is palatable to end-users. Product designers who specialize in combining functionality with design must be multi-disciplinary, having both the ability to be methodical while also designing products that are aesthetic.

Nothing beats the success story of a visionary leader who decides to take a bold course that sets the standard for how an industry operates. In the realm of technology, one of these stories is the infamous API mandate that Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon, sent out in 2002. For many technologists, the mandate wasn’t just the regular email, but it was the moment that the digital platform as we know it today was born. What is often overlooked, however, is that the interface-mandate (i.e., API-mandate) not only revolutionized internet technology development but it also changed how new business models came to be and how a wealth of new value was created.

The API-based Business Model

The esports industry is growing at an exponential rate in terms of viewership and revenue generated. Reuters ran an <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-videogames-outlook/global-esports-revenues-to-top-1-billion-in-2019-report-idUSKCN1Q11XY">article</a> in February stating that revenue is likely to reach $1.1billion in 2019 based on advertising, sponsorship and media rights to these live competitive gaming events. Additionally, Newzoo <a href="http://www.espn.com/esports/story/_/id/15508214/427-million-people-watching-esports-2019-reports-newzoo">reported</a> that 427 million people will be watching some form of esports by the end of&nbsp;2019.

The State Of The Market: After the total market cap fell to a new 2018 low of $188.6 billion yesterday, it is back up today. The market cap is back above $200 Billion once again, at $200.8 Billion, gaining $12 Billion in the last 24 hours.

After the recent freefall, today’s trend reversal was much needed to prevent further bleeding.

You may not have heard of the year-old startup known as <a href="https://basis.io/" target="_blank">Basis</a>. But the <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/cryptocurrency" target="_blank">cryptocurrency</a> company based out of Hoboken, New Jersey has roared out of the ICO gates and raised over $133 million in the past year to go toward creating a new stablecoin for the masses. The token (formerly known as Basecoin) is a <a href="https://medium.com/samsa-ai/stablecoins-carrying-the-way-to-the-crypto-promised-land-c124b2db8ea3" target="_blank">stablecoin</a> that is programmed to maintain its value closely to the value of one US dollar at all times.
