And if you want to use your phone in the toilet you need a Bluetooth Beacon in the toilet. Moreover all these beacons must somehow remain synced with your identity, so more cloud, more sensible data stored on big companies servers.

In summary, I think beacons are useful but I think the most interesting stuff is for a smartphone to unlock a car not the other way around.
