When Jon Matonis digs your Token
From tokenization to decentralization, JET8 connects with a champion
In a statement earlier today, Jon Matonis, Founding Director of the Bitcoin Foundation and ICO heavyweight, announced his decision to join JET8’s team of advisors.
Communicating the technological innovation and industry-altering potential of the JET8 system to the public has not always been an easy road, and with the current glut of token launches one might expect a certain level of apathy.
Thus, validation and support from the head of the Bitcoin Foundation (the industry’s oldest trade organisation) puts JET8 in a different league together. If Matonis recognises the impact JET8 can have on the future of decentralized social media engagement, it calls for more than a quick peruse.
“The gradual elimination of trusted third parties from our economic and legal infrastructures belies a serious and unprecedented reorganisation of many legacy social structures.”
This is precisely the foundation upon which JET8’s model has been established, with tokenization at the heart of a decentralized engagement network that keeps content ownership and rewards within the power of the platform users themselves.
As an independent board director to companies in the Bitcoin, Blockchain, mobile payments, gaming sectors and as a prominent fintech columnist with Forbes Magazine, American Banker, and CoinDesk, Matonis has defended the decentralized approach to bitcoin scaling and supported a host of projects with disruptive economic implications.
The significance of ideals is often overlooked or at best considered an addendum to the conversation around new technology models and systems. Technology has the power to fulfil our idealistic aspirations yet falls prey to commercial considerations and empty hype. A meeting of minds such as this shows that an alignment of ideals, combined with a tangible commercial offering, has the power to shape the future of industry, and human interaction, on so many levels.
Other advisors driving the launch of the J8T token include Uriel Peled (CEO of Cointree Capital), Eyal Herzog (Founder of Bancor), Sefi Golan (CEO of BlockchainIL), and Roger Lim (Co-founder of WebVision).
Toot that horn JET8. Toot it.
