DECENTRALIZED MEDIA POWERED BY THE BLOCKCHAIN
Good day my fellow Steemians 🤙🏾
As an American, I'm low key excited for the potential blockchain technology has to reshape how we receive and validate our "mainstream" news/media sources. Denzel Washington put it best when he questioned how we are living in an age where it is more about being first with information than it is to be thorough and valid with the information. Whoever is first, usually a centralized media conglomerate, tends to enchant the masses with THEIR story. A story that has come from a handful large, single node source, validated from within itself, broadcast and accepted with little to no impediment.
Following below is a Hip Hop track I produced, wrote and recorded in 2016. At this time I was living in Miami, Fl and the entire social media/news climate caused me to take moment and observe things from a macro level. This is a lyrical depiction of a few of my findings. Performed by one of my more prominent alter egos: Rxcky Alkxmy.
🙏🏾 Thanks for reading! I'd love to hear your thoughts/insights on the topic. 👇🏾
I agree with your ideas of the blockchain do you think that more goverments will try to ban stuff like this? Will they keep people away from this sort of social media because it dosn't fit there idea of what world news should be?
Great question. I wouldn't be surprised blockchain tech goes thru similar trials and hinderances that the internet did. Some will ban or high censor it, others will attempt to "hijack" segments of it. However, it ultimately is a force of innovation that is here and only tipping the iceberg of how it can improve society.
Dope moves..........Hot lava... Did you do this video?
Thank you! I edited the video using footage from a piece by Noam Chomsky aired on Aljazeera. I just kinda rearranged the visuals to match the lyrics as much as possible.
Good read, enjoyed it
