From skeptical to bullish - A shark diving into whale infected waters to back yet another ICO.

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Crypto keeps gaining the hearts of people all over the world and not even sharks are exempt from falling to their charms, as is the case of Mark Cuban.

Despite calling Bitcoin a Bubble and saying that crypto makes "Not so much", the once skeptical Mark Cuban does, in fact, believe blockchain technology is here to stay and have the potential to change all our current monetary system or in his own words:

I think blockchain is very valuable and will be at the core of most transactions in the future. Healthcare, finance etc all will use it.

The billionaire shark seems to be turning his attention into the crypto space, back in Q3 2017 Mark backed a venture capital fund for cryptocurrency-related investments, he also participated in an initial coin offering "Unikrn", an online esports betting site, and was involved in the Mercury Protocol.

A promising project following in the footsteps of Steemit

Most recently, Cuban is backing Current, an incentivized, blockchain-enabled streaming ecosystem which in the best style of Steemit plans to reward users for playing their favorite media, and partnering with platforms like Spotify, YouTube, and SoundCloud the project seems at least very promising.

Generally, the most successful startups, whether blockchain-enabled or not, are the ones that incorporate the social element into their products or services. Take the case of Steemit as an example, by rewarding authors and also content consumers it's been able to grow a huge user base, and this is the model Current is planning to implement but with streamed content.

Current claims to reward consumers and content creators, according to the website:

The protocol rewards people for their time streaming, ad impressions and personal data shared. Launching initially on the Current platform, the protocol will open for developers and third-party providers to utilize.

The proposition results very appealingly for everyone who spends some time in any of these platforms or for those who, like me, spend the WHOLE day sitting in front of a computer with Spotify or youtube playing in the background.

The following is an interview from FOXBusiness with Dan Novaes, Current co-founder & CEO:

Recipe for success + shark support = to the moon?

So Current seems to have what it takes to be a successful project, but will its token skyrocket in value?

Well maybe, if a tweet from Cuban calling Bitcoin a bubble dip its value by 5% I guess his support will add enormous value to the project an in turn to the token.

So there you go, do your homework and find more about the Current project but let me get ahead of you:

They are giving away free tokens for early adopters and whoever brings new users to the platform, so go ahead and get 10 CRNC tokens for free now!!.
