In a world where technology is woven into the very fabric of our lives, it’s no longer a luxury for businesses to keep up with the latest trends — it’s a necessity.

We like to think of ourselves as trailblazers of innovation, and BREATHE! has always been eager to dive headfirst into the exciting world of cutting-edge technology. But let’s be honest:

It’s not all smooth sailing.

Today, we have a story to tell about our experiences with the wonderfully outdated world of big tech!

So get ready as we pull back the curtain and reveal the recent challenges we’ve faced on our quest for progress. We’ve put together this little blurb about our unwavering commitment to embracing game-changing tech, like decentralized platforms and the continually expanding Metaverse, which has not only shined a light on how to navigate these hurdles but has also totally unlocked the limitless potential of extraordinary digital communication.

The Ever-Expanding Struggle with Big Tech

Just like the millions of people getting their names out there on the wide world of the internet, BREATHE! has had its fair share of struggles with big tech companies. With everything we’ve been through in generating buzz about this awesome event, two significant hurdles left a bad taste in our mouths:

  1. Our Facebook and Instagram ads were banned for (maybe?) mentioning the terms ‘crypto’ and ‘nft’ 🤔
  2. Our Twitter account was suddenly suspended without explanation. Shocking, isn’t it? 😡

See, we REALLY wanted to have a fun time with big tech, but these two incidents alone have made it brutally clear that big tech is outdated and unable to adapt to the rapidly changing technological landscape. Sorry, big tech workers, but we’re spilling the beans on this.

It All Started with a Little Banning

As an innovative company, BREATHE! recognizes the mind-blowing power of cryptocurrencies and NFTs as they continue to revolutionize the digital landscape. We wanted to share our excitement and educate our audience about these groundbreaking technologies.

However, (and it’s a BIG however) our attempts were unceremoniously thwarted when Facebook and Instagram banned our content with any mention of the terms ‘crypto’ and ‘nft’. Come on, guys.

This ban really resonated with us, and it made us realize what was happening: This restriction was a clear indication of big tech’s inability to adapt and embrace new technologies.

Instead of supporting innovation, these platforms are stifling it by imposing unnecessary limitations. So thanks to that major hiccup, businesses like BREATHE! are forced to seek alternative solutions to reach their audience and promote their products when it comes to almost anything that mentions these two widespread pieces of technology.

And Then It Happened. Our Twitter Account Went “Poof!”

Sadly, our struggles with big tech did not end that day. Another regrettable incident occurred not long after the content restriction.

Our Twitter account was suspended for an unknown reason (No, really. We still haven’t figured out what the cause was), and this severely impacted our ability to communicate directly with our audience and give out key updates you would not find anywhere else. This seemingly arbitrary suspension only further highlighted the outdated nature of big tech platforms and their inability to provide a reliable and transparent service.

Decentralized Platforms Come to the Rescue

So the question arises: How did we overcome these challenges and ridiculous restrictions?

BREATHE! has begun exploring what was considered an impossible feat just a few short years ago: widespread use of decentralized platforms. If you don’t know, decentralized platforms are built on blockchain technology, which allows for a more transparent, secure, and user-centric digital experience. By embracing these platforms, we can ensure our voice is heard, and our message reaches the intended audience without interference from big tech companies.

Opening the Floodgates on New Social Media

Decentralized social media platforms offer so much more transparent, user-controlled experiences compared to the traditional centralized platforms that saw their rise in popularity well over a decade ago.

Decentralized platforms like Mastodon and Minds, allow companies such as BREATHE! to communicate with our audience without fear of censorship or arbitrary suspensions. These platforms prioritize user privacy, allowing us to maintain a strong relationship with our audience while respecting their data.

NFTs Have Become More than Memeworthy “JPEGs”

As a convention that is neck deep in the innovations brought about by NFTs, BREATHE! is well versed in the increasing utility of NFTs (non-fungible tokens, in case you didn’t know) and how this technology has already revolutionized the digital marketplace. By adopting NFT technology, you can create unique digital assets that represent our products and services, adding an entirely new layer of value and ownership for our customers.

Additionally, decentralized marketplaces like Manifold and OpenSea allow us to bypass the restrictions imposed by outdated internet systems, giving us the freedom to promote our offerings as we see fit.

Breaking the Chains from Centralized Finance

Embracing decentralized finance (DeFi) enables anyone with an internet connection to access financial services that are not controlled by traditional financial institutions.

By leveraging DeFi platforms like Uniswap and Aave, businesses can facilitate seamless transactions and offer innovative financial products to their customers. In doing so, we can bypass the outdated restrictions imposed by big tech and traditional financial systems.

The Metaverse: A New Frontier for Digital Experiences

The Metaverse, a virtual reality environment that transcends the boundaries of the physical world, holds immense potential for reshaping various aspects of our lives. By embracing the Metaverse, innovators can create immersive digital experiences that empower other users, foster creativity, and drive innovation.

As the technology behind the Metaverse continues to evolve, businesses can leverage it to connect with their audience in ways never before possible, and that was demonstrated quite clearly when Meta and Microsoft announced their partnership back in late 2022 (full article here).

These Platforms Come with some Privacy Perks As Well

One of the most significant advantages of decentralized platforms is their ability to provide users with greater control over their digital identity and personal data. Blockchain-based solutions, such as decentralized identity platforms, offer a more secure and private alternative to traditional data storage systems.

By embracing these technologies, BREATHE! can ensure that our customers’ data is protected and that they have full control over their digital identity.
