Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry.  Today we are joined by Wes Levitt, Head of Strategy at Theta Labs. Theta is a decentralized, peer-to-peer video delivery network powered by blockchain technology that enables free, high-bandwidth content delivery. 

Welcome to the 152nd episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on June 23rd, 2023. Wes discusses the evolution of Theta and the direction they are currently heading in. We also touch on some of crypto’s pressing issues including regulation and the future of the U.S. in the crypto sector.

Thanks, everyone for listening, and don’t forget to tune in next week when we interview Krishnan Nair, VP of Product at 21. co.

Topics Covered Today:

Wes, it’s been a trying month if you are in crypto. As an outsider, looking in, Theta looks more well-equipped to weather the storm that is coming stateside. Do you agree?

For those in our audience who are unfamiliar with Theta, do you want to give us a high-level overview of what you do?

Living in Asia, one of the things I don’t understand is that bandwidth is accessible and cheap here. Much like Scandinavia, how does a decentralized solution fit in this demographic?

Theta’s been around for a while, for some people who are looking for a community to get involved with, what would be your pitch?

I recently saw on your Twitter that you’ve enabled the billing dashboard in the Theta Video API. Why is this such a big step?

Stepping away from Theta, streaming services like Disney and Netflix have had a tough year. Is your business model a bit healthier than theirs?
