On Wednesday 1st August, James Tabor, CEO of MEDIA Protocol, and David Sneider, CEO of Deconet, held a live video AMA session on MEDIA Protocol’s Facebook page.

Deconet is one of MEDIA Protocol’s latest CryptoCatnip partnerships, so the purpose of this AMA session was to give each project’s respective communities the opportunity to ask any questions regarding MEDIA Protocol and Deconet, blockchain, the gig economy, and the future of work.

Highlights

  • James and David discuss the gig economy and if it’s taking hold in Europe as well as the US. David explains this in context of the world of work generally. (0:03:07)
  • They move on to discuss blockchain and its uses, including the reality that even with mass adoption, many users of blockchain-based technology will neither know about nor understand the blockchain that underpins it all. (0:08:53)
  • Getting into the specifics of what Deconet do, David explains how they do due diligence. (0:11:53)
  • James talks startups and projects working in collaboration, more so now than at any other time. Is it based in the desire not to duplicate work? Are the companies involved now just more experienced? (0:28:30)
  • David and James talk about talent in the blockchain space and if that affects the shift from ‘hobby’ technology to ‘real’ technology. (0:35:37)
  • Explaining how content creators are currently rewarded, James goes on to explain how MEDIA Protocol can track sharing and interactions effectively, and how those shares and likes can be rewarded through tokens.(0:43:43)

About Deconet

‘As humans digitise an increasing portion of the world’s information, each economic sector is transfigured by and incorporated into the knowledge economy, the economy that exists at the intersection of human creativity and digital capacity. Yet, knowledge economy projects remain undifferentiated in structure and governance, and undercapitalised. Crowd-curated project cooperatives and asset marketplaces, along with the financial rails necessary to support them, offer the potential for much greater collaboration across the knowledge economy.

Our goal is to catalyse this collaboration. We envision a world of digital cooperatives that redefine the future of knowledge work, enabled by a freely proliferating diversity of project ownership, governance, and capitalisation structures.

To realise this potential, we propose a software platform that matches projects with knowledge workers and digital assets.’
