Gain Currency for Streaming Media, on Current

We all know that saying that states that Nothing comes for free, right? For every service or product we use and enjoy, we pay - in one way or another. This is how our actual economy is built and is operating: the market needs a service or a product, some businesses provide it, then individuals acquire it, use it and pay for it. However, with the development of the blockchain, a new economy is slowly making its appearance.

Let’s have a quick look at one of the most innovative and bold projects designed to operate on the global market - Current.

Current was built to solve several issues of the media streaming industry, by creating an elaborate blockchain-based ecosystem that allows users from all around the world to gain faster and more straightforward access to tv shows, podcasts, movies, videos, music, audiobooks. More than merely being a software (or an app) that people can enjoy from any internet-connected device, Current is a protocol that makes a sudden shift from the economy we briefly mentioned above. This protocol offers various retribution for its users, according to:

  1. The time they spend on the app, streaming media content
  2. The number and types of ads that are displayed to them, while using Current
  3. The type of personal data that they share

So, unlike any other actual online website (be it a search engine, an email service or a social media network), Current will incentivize its users, rewarding them for the information they share and the activity they have daily in the app! Of course, the data collected from this protocol will be used by developers and third-party providers, so that in the end, the users’ experience while streaming their favorite media will be a better one.

Earn currency by simply streaming content and spending time in the app
Individuals will have the opportunity to earn CRNC - the Current utility token, a tool that is designed to have several functions inside the platform:

  • To decrease or even to take out premium subscription costs (that users would traditionally have to pay to get access to the content they like most)
  • To ease the manner in which content creators or producers can purchase ads

To use this currency, people who join Current do not need specialized knowledge on cryptocurrencies or the blockchain. Nor do they need to have a digital wallet or open a new one. On signing up, Current will automatically gain access users to a CRNC wallet (within the app).

To gain a better understanding of the CRNC and the entire ecosystem, it is built on, visit the official Current website at https://current.us/.

What makes Current stand out from its multiple media streaming services competitors?

  • Available to users from all over the world (no exceptions)
  • Free offline access to media
  • A vast variety of types of media content are available on Current: AM/FM radio stations; videos; music; podcasts; movies; tv shows; audio books.
  • Decentralized access to media
  • Crypto payments accepted in the app
