I had the pleasure of chatting with Uri Klarman about Bloxroute where he works as the CEO. We went over what Bloxroute does, what they are doing now, how they’re contributing to blockchain technology, but most importantly, what they plan to do in the future.

BloXroute is a Blockchain Distribution Network (BDN) that utilizes a global network of servers optimized for network performance. In other words, bloXroute allows the network to communicate fast.

Nodes access this network through open-source Gateways and anyone can access it through the bloXroute public-API.

This is done with no protocol changes, gradually deployed, and is provably neutral. They support many major chains such as Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Marc De Mesel about Bitcoin Cash and the Read.Cash blogging platform. He has donated over $100,000 USD worth of Bitcoin Cash to Read.Cash’s creator fund and users on the platforms via tips. In this video, we dive into his investments, other platforms he’s used, Read.cash, and his crypto philanthropy.

*I apologize for the feedback buzz. Marc’s audio has some feedback that I didn’t notice until I was editing it afterward.

I had the pleasure of chatting with DDRFr33k who is a developer at Vimm.tv. Vimm is a live-streaming platform on the Hive blockchain and in this, we will dive into what it’s all about and where it’s headed going forward.

Ankit Bhatia and I sat down for some time to chat about Sapien and what they’re all about. We dive into where they’re headed in the future, what they do, and how you can benefit from their crypto social media platform.

I had the opportunity to discuss OpenOrchard with Andrew Levine who is the co-founder and CEO there. You may know him from Steemit where he worked since the beginning. He’s moved on to bigger and better things and we spend some time diving into all of it.

They want to build a new better version of Steem and make it so much more. With the help of the community and their feedback, they believe they are creating the most user friendly and feature-rich blockchain solution for web applications.

I had the chance to speak with Rob McNealy who is the co-founder of TUSC. We discussed what it’s all about, what they advocate for, and where they’re headed in 2020 and beyond. No ICO. No IEO. No Token Sale. No BS.

Crypto Beast and I spent some time talking about the YouTube crypto purge and giving our take on the many decentralized crypto monetized and blockchain social media applications that exist out there.

We dive into LBRY, Flote, BlockTube, DLive, Theta, Hive, Steem, Publish0x, Uptrennd, and more. We discuss the different earnings models, their interfaces, and their approaches to privacy, free speech, and decentralization.

Let’s talk about Uptrennd with Jeff Kirdeikis. He is the founder of Uptrennd which is a crypto-monetized social media platform that uses the 1UP token to reward users for their contributions

Their company is built around four foundational pillars of: distribution of wealth, freedom of speech, equality of opportunity, and data security. Uptrennd is the social media that puts you first.
