00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:33,320
In today's episode, we'll cover the launch of Zebedee's ZBD app and their social platform

7
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:45,800
that incorporates micro transactions and Bitcoin.

8
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,440
Have you heard of Zebedee's new ZBD app?

9
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:53,320
It has a gaming-centric Bitcoin wallet and a social platform with a unique twist.

10
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:59,240
Instead of simply liking other users' content, you can earn a little Bitcoin by sending ZAPS,

11
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,280
very small amounts of Bitcoin.

12
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:06,000
It's a whole new way to monetize your content and have a more engaging social experience.

13
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,160
You can even enjoy encrypted DMs with the option to use them to send payments.

14
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,960
Zebedee, which is focused on payment solutions using Bitcoin's speedy lightning network,

15
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:20,240
has now launched a new initiative to contribute open source code and products to the Layer

16
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,720
2 protocol built on top of Bitcoin.

17
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:28,680
Dubbed No Big Deal, NBD, the new not-for-profit project has already resulted in several products

18
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:33,080
and code repositories available to anyone willing to build on the lightning network.

19
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,560
But wait, there's more.

20
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,680
With decentralized social media, users have more control of their data than in traditional

21
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,280
social media apps.

22
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:45,280
You have the freedom to carry your identity and followers across any number of apps.

23
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,080
No longer restricted to a closed-off ecosystem, you can connect with friends and creators

24
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,600
regardless of the specific platform they use.

25
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,320
Jack Dorsey, Twitter co-founder, has also been focused on creating decentralized social

26
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,520
media through Noster's decentralized protocol for building apps.

27
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,640
And he's keen on seeing many different such platforms emerge and thrive.

28
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,480
A good thing, according to him.

29
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,880
With the rise of Nostr, users can now sign up for a waitlist for early access to the

30
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,960
new Zebedee app, which can possibly bring new and positive changes to the world of social

31
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:45,080
media.
