SERIOUS Steemit + DTube competitor found!

in dtube •  7 years ago  (edited)


I couldn’t believe it when I was watching the latest video by my friend Nas who currently has almost 3 million likes and over 4 million followers on his Facebook page. His latest video features a guy named Ben Yu, a self-made Bitcoin millionaire who lives in San Fransisco. He is now building ‘an economic backbone for decentralized streaming’ called https://streamtoken.net/. For more information watch the video by Nas here:

The thing that stands out for me as a video creator is obviously the fact that this could be another potential income stream and he is making it clear that videos will not be monetised through advertising. But the second very interesting fact is that he actually seems to use his own currency called Stream Token (STC) and it sounds awfully familiar to Steem backed Dollars (SBD) to me. I mean even the names ‘Stream’ and ‘Steem’ are very similar.

Ben Yu also has some serious Advisors according to his website, most notably Saureen Shah who is the 10th engineer at YouTube, Founder/CTO of Instawork, John Youshei who is the Head of Creator Product Marketing at YouTube and Nusseir Yasin who’s the maker of Nas Daily. He also raised $5 million so far and all of those points make it appear that this could be a serious competitor to the video community of Steemit, @dtube!

What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments below!

Interesting

I'd say it may have some potential to take on DLive and maybe even DTube, but Steemit is a larger ecosystem and the benefits of that will likely win out in the longer term in my opinion.

Let's hope so!

Competitor - yes. Serious competitor - No.

Competition is good though but the fact that steem has the no.1 most daily transactions means it'll stay king of the crypto social platform world for a while

I sure hope so!

HUmmm I will give it a look just for curiosity.... But I think our community here have no stopping us right now. And even if I support other projects outside the steem blockchain I really have a lot of faith and confidence in it.

So all we can do it is to keep growing and showing everyone all over the internet the power of Steem! :D

Thanks for stopping by again Sergio!

Eheheh yesterday and today i will be missing a lot... :( sorry for that... but tomorrow i will try to scroll as much as i can and reach you all guys eheheh

It's still a long way to go for #stream, but if all the #whales that steal money from the pool go there that would be perfect. Steemit has become a strong community though so to be a newcommer is very difficult.

haha maybe they will lol

Gosh. I only just stopped saying "Streamit" instead of "Steemit" 😮

:P

Thanks for keeping us in the know!

Thanks for stopping by again!

Wow, I have not heard of them! hmmm...To be honest, I don't know hwat to say to this...I just know that I have dedicated my time and heart to this platform and all of the people within the dtubedaily community!

Winny out...for now ;)

Same here :P

I'll give it a look for sure, but I must be honest, every time I hear of Nas, I cringe. That dude is silly beyond belief in his reportings, often saying something completely inaccurate, just to get views.

He's one of those guys that travels to X place for 4 days and has 100 opinions. Meanwhile, I've been in X place for 7 months, and I'm left wondering, what the F is this goofy ass dude talking about? lol

There are travelers and then there are those who just chase a number. Nas is a number chaser!

It could be another channel of blessings for those who create videos and vloggers out there like you. Hope it will start soon...
