Since the advent of the internet, artists have struggled to monetize content without the need to go through parasitic third parties. Content that is distributed through the internet has changed as the internet has evolved. Popular YouTube channels are forced to creatively and shamelessly ask for “Likes” and “Subscribes” on their channel in order to maximize the revenue obtained through ads. YouTube has also played a totalitarian role in determining what content is allowed to make revenue. Advertisements has been the sole source of monetization for independent creators on the internet. Until now.
Bitcoin (BCH) is coming up on its ten year anniversary. The years of arguing over fictional scaling problems has stagnated the amount of useful applications that display what makes Bitcoin useful: Instant and cheap peer to peer transactions that revolutionizes the way cash is used on the internet. Today, most large-scale content is paid for via the use of subscription services. Content distribution has been a constant struggle between ease of distribution and fair compensation for creators (and distributors). Fractioned subscription services force users to pay flat monthly fees for content distributed across multiple platforms. The cost of these services is independent of actual consumption of content, resulting in some users subsidizing the heavy consumers. Wouldn’t it be great to just pay for what you use? Wouldn’t it be great if independent creators have the same ability to monetize and distribute content as Disney? Why are we forced to sell our data to advertisers just to watch content?
Keyport TV is the solution the internet has been waiting for. It allows users to pay for content with microtransactions and to connect their usage to their Bitcoin wallets with its integration with Cashport. Because we believe so strongly in its vision, and because the issue of content distribution is something we are passionate about, we will be moving our content to Keyport exclusively. Those of us that believe in Bitcoin are constantly putting our money where our mouth is and trying to get merchants and friends to take Bitcoin as payment. We believe content creators should do what is in their own self interest: stop relying on parasitic ad companies and exclusive subscription services to monetize your content. Bitcoin is The New Money. It opens up possibilities that have never been available to humanity. We believe Keyport TV is the future of video content on the internet. Our focus in the next couple of months is to help content creators understand what Bitcoin is and why it is important to them. We will be making how-to videos to show creators how they can introduce their content to Keyport and start making money. We could not be more excited for the future of Keyport and Bitcoin.
