INTRODUCTION

Cryptocurrency or commonly called cryptocurrency may still be foreign to some people. But not in the United States. After the national economic crisis that hit the land of Uncle Sam, distrust of the banking system began to rise. The innovation that emerged in the midst of the storm was none other than cryptocurrency. This system was created by Satoshi Nakamoto. He is not a public figure and allows himself to be in a mysterious identity.

He created new ideas in the banking system that could prevent the financial crisis from happening again. He advised that new currencies be created where these currencies were not created and could be transparent without the user having to submit his personal information. Satoshi Nakamoto's idea is inseparable from the idea of social and political philosopher John Rawls who wrote about the concept of justice in a book entitled "A Theory of Justice".

From this concept of justice, Satoshi gave birth to blockchain technology. With this system, there is no more information asymmetry between the parties to the transaction so that the contract remains fair. Likewise during the distribution process.

The discussion on the cryptocurrency-based Foresting Network will begin with social media.

Social media has become a human lifestyle in the modern era. They use it for personal and business purposes. The most widely used social media is still Facebook. Millions of articles posted every day that discuss various things. It is undeniable that Facebook brought many social changes in the world since its appearance.

Is social media the only means to connect? No, social media has a wider influence than that. Even in the political sphere, the victory of Barack Obama and Donald Trump in the US presidential election cannot be separated from Facebook and other social media. Since the use of Facebook in the Obama campaign that led him to become president of the United States in 2008 and 2012, social media and websites cannot be considered one eye.

We can even get sensitive news and events on social media. It's no secret that the press often gets criticism from the government. But with the existence of social media, it seems that the government's repression of ink makers is not very influential. The proof, the death of someone who triggered the emergence of "Arab Spring" was also triggered by the use of social media. Syria, which is famous for its protective measures against the mass media, cannot prevent the spread of videos about massive protests on YouTube. On social media, anyone can express their opinions very freely.

Conventional Social Media Disadvantages
Although it has a very large influence, in fact, social media is inseparable from one shortcoming. Social media companies benefit a lot from advertising revenue while content creators don't get the balance. The user considers that the rewards are only for certain influencers. Even though this is not the case. Not to mention, personal databases owned by users and become the company's main source of income threaten user privacy.

Users get two injustices that are not paid for the content they make even though the company gets a lot of money from them and leaks of personal data that cannot be updated.
