Click to download audio version Payments on the internet have always
been a weakness. An entire Frankenstein mash up of surveillance, credit card
payments, walled garden ecosystems emerged as the way for the internet and
internet companies to monetize. Freemium and ad driven models became the way
that users were monetized but if you get something for free you are the product
and in 2021 this is turning into a problem. Stephan Dodge and Ian Major, the co-
founders of BYOD, think bitcoin can fix this. Host Christian Keroles sits down
with these ambitious entrepreneurs to discuss how the emerging Bitcoin
ecosystem and tech stack is enabling people to take the power back over their
data and to even monetize it. BYOD is a solution built on top of Bitcoin and the
Stack 2 blockchain to enable users to create advertising profiles and in a
cryptographically secure and distributed manner host and sell access to their
data. Dodge and Major believe that BYOD will create a better customer profile
and a better experience for both advertisers and customers. Users will get paid
out in Bitcoin and have more granular control than ever over how their data is
used. Beyond just the application that BYOD is pioneering, Stephan and Ian both
are incredibly excited about how well the bitcoin ecosystem and tech stack are
developing. A few years ago it would not have been possible for them to build a
solution like BYOD using Bitcoin in a way they deemed sufficiently
decentralized. Today there are several avenues where this was possible including
Stacks. Learn more about BYOD at BYOD.exchange
