LBRY + Odysee CEO Jeremy Kauffman | Fighting Big Tech, Saving Crypto, and Free Speech Online
Tell the SEC that cryptocurrency must remain legal and free by signing this petition: https://www.change.org/p/u-s-securities-and-exchange-commission-cryptocurrency-is-not-a-crime
Jeremy Kauffman, founder and CEO of the decentralized content sharing and publishing protocol LBRY, joins the show to discuss the ongoing SEC complaint against LBRY that threatens to stifle the entire cryptocurrency and blockchain industry in the U.S.. As Kauffman and Moazed touch on various details of the SEC complaint, they also discuss censorship on content platforms, launching and running a disruptive startup business, and the ongoing battle against the overreaching policies of big tech.
Jeremy created LBRY because he fell in love with the idea of shared, global content registry that is owned and controlled by no one. Unsurprisingly, he is a longtime supporter of decentralized technology and freedom of information. Prior to LBRY, Jeremy founded TopScore, a startup that processes millions of dollars monthly in event and activity registrations. He attended Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he received degrees in physics and computer science.
