Breaking: @Officialfuzzy and @jamesc open up BitChute + Steem Partnership Connection! Will the Community Rise to the Occasion?
Steem + Bitchute = MoOn!
Straight to the point:
I got Creator of the Torrent-Powered Youtube Killer BitChute interested in collaborating with Steemit. And all it took was lots and lots of texts, asking him to follow me on social media so I could pm him until finally I reached him and talked about Steem. (Ironically I don't sell steem to people by talking first and foremost about the payouts...I Lead w/ Censorship Resistance!)
This will be short and sweet because most of my work has been done behind the scenes finding and catching Ray Vahey of BitChute, but suffice it to say I have been working hard since the launch of Steem behind the scenes to get big players looking at and talking about Steem if not diving in right away. Ray Vahey is perhaps my largest catch yet...
I could write a big prosy essay about Ray and BitChute: A YouTube Powered By BitTorrent Is Here With No Censorship but I'll leave it to the previous link to describe it and the following quote to express his motivations:
“The idea (of bitchute) comes from seeing the levels of censorship ascending in the great social multimedia platforms in the last years. Expulsions, demonetization, and adjustment of algorithms to send certain content to the deepest, and want to do something about it”.
And...
“ I knew that creating a clone was not the answer. Many have tried and failed. And it would inevitably grow to be an organization with the same problems, in any case.” ~Ray Vahey~
I brought @jamesc into the conversation and we have been for quite some time now talking about the benefits of BitChute partnering up with Steem and even how it could be used to embed videos on Steem like people do with Youtube:
And they are even interested in a Witness to help pay to develop and help with Steem Collaboration!
Wait Wait...But there is More!
Ray and I are currently talking behind the scenes about a Community driven initiative to give BitChute more insights on HOW BITCHUTE AND WE CAN CREATE SYNERGIES!
It is a powerful time and I must say that I will continue giving amazing news like this at our Beyond Bitcoin Hangouts as well as posting them to Steemit....Because I will not stop trying to help our community and the projects I believe in. So Stay Tuned for Our Community Collaboration Post coming soon! There your well-thought out feedback and ideas will be welcomed by the Creator of BitChute (and at least a few happy whales).
P.S. You want to know how to become a whale in crypto? Work hard, never give up and realize that you offer your own unique value propositions to the world. The Only question is how you use them--or just as importantly, if you choose use them at all.
I'm sure it should have been me chasing you because what you guys have built here is amazing. BTW Fuzzy that's a crazy amount of unread emails :-)
Our paths are coming together at an important time; hardly a day goes by when Google or Facebook are not making some censorship related news. Let's take this as an opportunity to build social media 2.0. Decentralized, censorship-resistant and a true meritocracy.
I see some comments asking if BitChute uses a blockchain, not currently but this is another level of decentralization we do want to achieve and one of the things we've been discussing with you guys. How we can best integrate to get the BitChute on the blockchain. We're WebTorrent based which makes sense for large files and bandwidth, but there's nothing to prevent us mixing and matching.
Which leads me on to say that we are very interested in obtaining a steem witness position.
Fuzzy has been incredible and has volunteered to organize a community idea-drive. So come on all you guys, join us and let's put a boot on the butt of censorship! And pick the best ideas for creating synergy between our platforms. Fuzzy is paying with the money earned on this post ;)
thanks for the kind words and interest Ray. This is what we need because...well we know what is happening on youtube and other social media. Instead of fight them...i say we outbuild them and make them sadly irrelevant ;)
Then we can throw bread to them at the park where we keep them safe from themselves. :D
Please note: This appears to be a confusion of Steem (the blockchain) and Steemit (a company, and its website).
This project is not at this time partnered or affiliated with Steemit, this post being the first I've heard of it. :)
Correct. In a blockchain...people dont need to ask permission to do epic things. :)
Just the way we like it. 😍
I for one enjoy hearing about Epic things happening in Blockchain!
I believe the comment is just about the title including the wording 'steem partnership connection'. Of course it's great for people to do epic things :)
:-)
you rock Fuzzy!
Nope I simply bust my ass when others tend to sit around complaining...
and over years and years...it seems to finally be paying off. ;)
True that, but you make it pay off for everybody not just yourself ;)
Smart people who share. You two are much alike, aren't you? :)
wonderfully stated...lol
It takes time, struggle, discomfort and effort but when finalised then all bad and hard time evaporate with rain of Happiness!!! Cheers 👍
We definitely need an alternative to youtube for information that might be a huge target for sensorship.
I work for an open science project that is about to test two claims of zero point, free energy delivering systems and you can imagine the resistance that information would have to being widely available.
Thankyou for making this effort.
Time tested path to success! Well done
I like how you roll my friend. I wish more people had your mentality, myself included.
Take that YouTube!
I kept wishing.. no praying for a Youtube killer on the blockchain! Yes "take that Youtube" plus 2 more!
Nice to see that Internet is changing for the better! Power to all who recognize the worth!
PLS help. I can't find the right answer.
How I can import single BTC key form Angelshare donation in Bitshares 0.9.3 wallet. Just need CLI command for that. In user interfase thera are only options for whole wallet in .dat format. Thank you.
T.me/bitsharesdex that is a good way.
Thank you
You with those sad eyes....dont be discouraged. Oh i realize....its hard taking courage, in a world full of people. You can lose site of it all and the darkness inside you can make u feel so small.... :]
Love the platform bitchute but how can I put my videos on Steemit and why does it show sideways. Please help me :)
https://steemit.com/steemit/@ackza/how-can-we-add-bitchute-video-embed-link-integration-into-steemit-we-need-to-use-bitchute-s-p2p-vbit-torrent-powered
I predicted / ASKED for this even came up with a plan for this a MONTH ago, PLEASE if you are going to upvote this post, then PLEASE upvote MY post which predicted this WEEKS ago and goes into alot of detail with my ideas for how we could integrate the two! PLEASE people I DESERVE some love here ;) lol I mean come on predicted EXACTLY this type of Bitchute steemit partnership and i HOPE my Steemit post actually inspired the right people here to actually reach out to bitcchute or vica versa! We need to allow for our own youtube style embeedding of bitchute videos too!
only problem with bitchute is their terrible TERRIBLE unopen policy where you must already have a popular channel onyoutube to evenAPPLY for a bitchute channel! I have NO idea why they only let certain people join! Anyone should be able to signup and IMMIEDTALy begin uploading videos!
But thats just my criticism with bitchute! I still saw it as the only real decentralized competitor to youtube AND i saw STEEMIt as a way to MONETIZE bitchute videos
Heh. Some of us (me being one of them) have been saying this for several months. :)
I've been advocating for bitchute for several months now, and naturally that means we need a way to embed their content in steemit posts. :)
Hell yes man!!
But more importantlu we need to teach these assholes like youtube they cant censor without dying...my 2 cents..
Ok then you deserve a cut of the bitchute money too then! LOL WHERE MY STEEM AT
The question is less about predicting what ill do next...and start doing what i do...which is bringing people onboard. Why so jelly? Close and get paid bro. If u wrote this news instead of predicti g someone else would do the work to get it opened up... (instead of a prediction i HAPPENED to work hard to make come true) you would likely have higher pay out than i do :/
The problem is that spending all ones time pontificating without doing never progresses us forward. So though I will kindly say i'm glad you saw the importance of bitchute...i in no way got the idea from you and indeed have been pursuing it myself for quite some time now (before it was even popular).
Don't worry, you will have a way to make money off of what I made here (if you work for it). Cause I dont keep MOST my earnings since I pay alot out of pocket to build stuff to help...
If you don't believe me...just watch me. Actions speak louder than words. Mine have for nearly 4 years of unpaid work in this space. ;)
Hi @ackza that's our soft launch. Basically, we gave out limited channels as a way to find problems and fix them without being flooded by support queries. So no need to worry about that one. Thanks for writing that post, I'm sure you had a big effect.
Firt of all THANK you for your work on this amazing platform! Second of all , dont worry about my attitude, dont take my snappy remakrs personaly! Its ok I am a spoiled brat! Dont take my comments personally! I just feel a need to speak my mind as I know I can speak for many others thinking the same way! I dont fee like i am entitled to any money from this platform! I didnt do any of the work i just wrote my thoughts out into a steemit article and obviously I wasnt the only one with that idea!
I just wanted the opportunity to start a bitchute account as it seemed to be a closed system but now i know it was because it was a soft launch but I still am part of this generation that wants instant gratification!
! Will Bitchute eventually allow anyone to singup as easily as youtube? I just want people to use bitchute and torrent hosting instead of youtube to completely take youtube out of the equation! I VERY MUCH apreciate your work here and upvote ALL your posts! AgainI apologize for my spoiled entitled attitude! I just have so much passion for this platform the blockchain and the idea of monetizing memes! I just had no idea ow CLOSE my dreams were of using crypto crrency steemit style system top reward content creators WITHOUt any ads! But i would have no problem with a little bit of ads like how reddit has! We wont need ads for a while but the ability to pay to promote your stoory beyond the promotion @null wll be revolutionary!
Also i already got $1 from my comment above lol thats wall i meant about wanting a cut lol and i got it!
So now I would love to help ALL the youtube creatorss BANNED from Keemstar to Filthy Frank who got either banned or had monetization cut off...or h3h3 ethan and hula klein who have youtube threaten to demonetize them over and over...If we got h3h3 and their over six million subscribers to migrateto youtube we would add more users to steemit than we curently have (171,000 users as of today!)
Again THANK you for yoru work and I tried upvoting all your posts but you seem to only have resteemed others posts so Ill just upvtethose and upvote your comments! i will try and show as many youtuers BitChute whemever you say its ready!
Hey @ackza
I wouldn't have wanted anything else, you saw a problem, spoke out and gave us a chance to reply.
That's how things should be dealt with, not swept under the carpet. Decentralization along with the transparency and accountability it brings are the keys to solving a lot of problems.
My attitude towards ads is to let the content creator decide, they know their audience and they know their expenses, and if that's what suits them then have at it. When in doubt, I really like the opt-in approach.
Hell yeah, we're going to open it up to everyone! The bottleneck right now is development and resources, we're working on those. In fact we're going to open it more than YouTube, federation baby :-)
You're right, we need to get blogging/vlogging!
You wasn't the only person which wrote to him about Steem ;)
https://twitter.com/noisypl/status/835991733100023809
I also send him an email about that with more details :) So I believe, that is an joined effort ;)
Disclaimer: I am just a bot trying to be helpful.
To be fair to me...I never said I was. What I AM though is the only one Ive seen posting about actually completing the task (as opposed to the 20x Ive seen talking about how SOMEONE ELSE should do it---but expecting huge payouts).
Perhaps some of the community has risen up to the challenge already--I appreciate you noisy but definitely hope we get more on board too :)
All i know is i spend alot of time doing this and for all the people who say they reached out for some reason im the one who is writing a post about how I know they are personally wanting to join us and preparing a community initiative for it.
Reaching out and closing are two supremely different things to be fair, but im glad you did! It MAY have helped!
Thanks noisy, I don't think anyone here is trying to take away any credit. We had to reach a point where we were happy with the stability of the platform before committing to integrations. The main thing is we're here now and ready to help. Really looking forward to your ideas.
Awesome, awesome, awesome!
I'm glad I save my re-steems for special posts like these!
Haha me too :)
Wonderful job it will no doubt boost up the steemit family and explore more ways to spread steemit community all over the world.
