RE: Introducing Mono Money (English subtitles)
Please don't mind my previous comment. I just realized that you're using both dtube and youtube :)
ps. I've never knew anyone who speak Esperanto. Wow. That's quite impressive.
We, esperantists, exist as a universal diaspora of little groups in every country. But our movement has been very weak in the last decades, for many historical reasons.
What means esperantists? Does it mean all people who use Esperanto? I always thought that creating this language was like an failure experiment. It never managed to reach mass adoption. Right?
Cheers, Piotr
Yes, I like very much that feature added to DTube. We can link videos from YouTube and hence receive rewards. They're going to launch their own token (out of the testnet) and so we'll earn STEEM and DTC.
YouTube demands a certain amount of views and subscribers before we can receive money for the content, but we can now monetize those videos using DTube.
The thing I don't understand yet is that they allow everyone to upload anyone's video, and monetize it... I'm still not sure what to think about that, but I don't feel comfortable. They call that "to share and curate content". I'll wait for more clarity about it.
Yes, I understand. The feature that previously messed all the uploads is the IPFS. It is an amazing project, but it faces big difficulties. I experienced that with BitTube (which also runs on the IPFS).
A blockchain that contains multimedia... awesome, but we still don't have the technical conditions for realize that in the best way. However I'm sure that in next years it will be solved.
Yes, the Esperanto-speakers are commonly named "esperantists", because it is understood among them that Esperanto is not just a language, but a movement linked to principles of universalism and human fraternity.
Most esperantists think that Esperanto is just an instrument for a larger purpose. The problem is that such purpose is not yet well defined.
However, it is a common experience to feel those deep meanings when one begins to speak Esperanto. I think that happens because of the nature of the instrument itself:
You start communicating with people in Africa, Asia, Europe, America... and each one of you know that you're all using a language that has no country. It's no one's but, at the same time, it's everyone's.
So the nature of the language you're using makes you more aware about your essential humanity. And the movement around that language is based on this awareness.
That's an interesting experience to reevaluate the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis about the influence of languages on human cognition.
I have written a post about the esperantism, but only published its Spanish and Esperanto versions. In next days I'll publish the English one.
Very late thanks for this brilliant reply @spirajn
Seriously thx. Piotr
