This is gonna piss a lot of people off.

But I'll say it:

Bitclout is about to take over the world.

It's the future of social media, advertising, and monetization for your favorite creators, athletes, and musicians.

Here's why👇

Ok, what the hell is Bitclout?

Bitclout = Robinhood + Twitter, but decentralized on the blockchain

Decentralized = no banning.

Blockchain = money + transparency built in.

The difference between Bitclout and Robinhood/Twitter?

On Bitclout, the people are the stonks.

Everyone has a “coin price” over their head.

And a “market cap”, just like a company.

Imagine this:

Today, Ed Sheeran is one of the most popular musicians in the world.

Sings in front of 100,000 people. Millions of fans.

He's a big deal.

But there was a time when no one knew the name Ed Sheeran.

In fact, when he first traveled to the US, he slept on Jamie Foxx's couch for 6 weeks.

Jamie would bring him to the local club to do a few songs.

The first night?

A standing ovation from a tough crowd.

Imagine if you were in the crowd that night, and fell in love with good ol’ Ed.

You become his number 1 fan, travel to see him at every show.

Now that he's famous, guess what you get?

Nothing.

You get tell your friends you were a Day 1 supporter.

They give you a pat on the back, and that’s it.

Ed doesn’t know your name.

You don’t make a cent.

You probably don’t even get a thank you, let alone a follow-back.

What if there was a different model?

With Bitclout, when you discover the next Ed Sheeran, you can invest in their coin.

It could be any unknown musician, artist, influencer, actor, author - you name it.

Or, company or company founder.

You probably didn’t get an invite to invest in the recent round of SpaceX.

But now, you can bet on SpaceX coin, or Elon coin.

And in theory, if they go to Mars, those coins go moon.

Now, Elon nor SpaceX have to "approve" of these coins' existence.

And this has made a lot of people angry.

But I feel that long-term, just as every restaurant gets a "Yelp", and every company gets a "Glassdoor"

Every public figure having a coin will be an accepted fact of public life.

Bitclout is now adding features where coinholders can get rev share from their favorite creators.

Imagine if you discovered Beeple early in the game, and got a piece of every NFT sale.

Or Mark Manson, and got a cut of every book.

Oh, and speaking of monetizing social media…

I often joke,

“Those 'likes' aren’t gonna buy you a house.”

Well on Bitclout, instead of 'likes', you have 'diamonds'... which are like tips.

So if you write a banger post, or create a viral video…

Instead of getting a million likes, you could get a million bucks.

And you wouldn’t even have to hold up a “skinny tea”.

Now you can see why so many are pumped about Bitclout.

Included some of the smartest minds in tech.
