100% of the BitClout code goes public
May 20, 2021
Diamondhands:
Today, we take the decentralization of social media further than any other project has in the past.
Today, BitClout does to social media what Bitcoin is doing to the traditional financial system.
Today, 100% of the BitClout code goes public.
When we say 100% of the BitClout code is now public, we mean 100%.
As of today, *ALL* of the code powering bitclout.com is now accessible to any developer anywhere in the world.
What does this mean?
It means, fundamentally, that no company or CEO can ever get in between a creator and their followers on BitClout because all of the data and code are now completely, undeniably open.
It means the entire world can now build BitClout collaboratively, unlocking the full potential of human ingenuity.
Together, we will show the world that the we can build a social media product without walled gardens, data moats, or ads.
It's not a secret that there have been some people on the internet who have questioned whether BitClout would deliver on its promise of a becoming a truly open and decentralized platform.
Today, we think those people have their answer. And we hope you'll let them know.
We have a long way to go from here. The code and infrastructure still need a lot of work to get them to the level where we can really compete with the ads-driven juggernats.
But opening everything up is the first step, and now we can all take BitClout to the next level together.
Dr. Elizabeth Markle: the « sharky behaviour » on Bitclout
May 20, 2021
Great interview of Dr. Elizabeth Markle on the 1st Bitclout Virtual Summit yesterday. She addresses the issue of the « sharky behaviour » on Bitclout:
« They are like: "Get them when the first get on the platform. Buy the first 10 coins before they can even get their own and wait a few hours and then sell them and make a quick profit!"
Ok, that’s what’s one way to play this game and that’s going to make it the kind of platform that nobody wants to be on.
If we are all playing for each other, for a world where everybody wins, how would this work?
GiftClout is an amazing example of that, and CollectiveClout is another: "Whenever somebody invests $3 or more in CollectiveClout, we invest $5 in them" ».
Stats: Purchasing is down, Posting is up
Stats show that Bitclout platform members have significantly slowed their purchases and sales of Creator Coins. After the euphoria at the beginning, people realized that you can lose money by buying without really having analyzed the situation. So people seem to be more cautious.
On the other hand, the level of activity, after a drop following the peak of March 8, we see that the number of posts has been increasing regularly since March 24.
