Ep 19 - Max Brody - Decentralizing Social Media and Creating New Income

Hosted by Enigma's Head of Growth Tor Bair, our nineteenth episode features Max Brody. Max is the co-founder and CEO of Cent, a social network built on Ethereum that aims to get creators paid directly for sharing their work and wisdom. Cent is another example of a “hybrid dApp”, where parts of the product are decentralized (and other parts centralized) for the ultimate benefit of users. Max himself is an experienced designer as well as a musician and writer, so he understands how to build products that can work for a mainstream audience of creators, not just developers. On this episode Max talks with Tor about why he started Cent, how his team has chosen what parts of the product to decentralize, why he believes art and artists will proliferate on the Cent platform, and whether he sees Facebook as a competitor — or as a danger to society. Enigma's new podcast "Decentralize This!" features guests from all over the decentralization space: developers, investors, entrepreneurs, researchers, writers, artists, people in government and enterprise - all individuals who care deeply about building a more decentralized and sustainable world. How can all these people with different perspectives collaborate to create and scale the technologies we need to shape a better future? ---- Relevant links: Cent: www.cent.co Enigma: www.enigma.co
