Owning your own voice: Blockchain's answer to big tech
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Founder of TreeChat, Dmitriy Fabrikant, joined the CoinGeek Weekly Livestream this week to talk about decentralized social media, the economic incentives of the current internet, and why an interoperable system fueled by micropayments is a better option. title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""> What is decentralized social media? Wuckert welcomes Fabrikant to the livestream, telling viewers they recently connected on an X Space and decided to expand on that conversation through this livestream episode. One thing that stood out to Fabrikant was how many people on the X Space didn't use decentralized social media, yet some had strong opinions on how it should work. Many builders working on these things have no idea what their vision is or what they're working towards. However, most agreed on how the current ad-fueled model was broken. This model means social media platforms have to harvest your data to serve better ads and are incentivized to engage in censorship to not harm their advertising revenue. Most agreed that a Web3 social media app fueled by micropayments would be better, even though they had different views on what it should look like. Having an app powered by tiny payments would fundamentally alter the incentives of these platforms. Wuckert agrees. However, he highlights how posts on these apps can end up being impacted by the chance to earn revenue. Everything becomes transactional when money is involved, and it shows. Fabrikant says this is where micro and nanopayments come in; when the value exchanged is tiny, it's more like posting for fun. The benefits of micropayments and costly signals Fabrikant notes how X uses engagement as a content amplification signal. For example, when you reply angrily, the algorithm shows you more of that type of content. However, micropayments can replace all of that—the algo can simply show you more of what you're willing to pay for. Users still get a dopamine hit, and creators can monetize without ads. Wuckert says he spends the most time on YouTube and deeply values how he can learn anything on it. However, he's often frustrated by how the algorithm shows him related content for weeks when he only wanted to know one thing. Fabrikant believes this can also be solved with micropayments—sending one could signal to the algorithm that we want to see more content like this, otherwise it assumes it's a one-off interest. Ironically, this could incentivize people to spend less time on social media—creators would be rewarded for transmitting the knowledge they have to share in the most efficient timeframe possible. Furthermore, with no middlemen, there'd be a direct creator-to-audience relationship. Building an open, interoperable system and platform Wuckert compliments Fabrikant on TreeChat, saying it does an excellent job at taking all the on-chain data and aggregating it so people can decide what they value and build with it. He thinks building a platform on which other people can build clients could be a good idea. Fabrikant says he likes that idea, but it's a case of not having the resources to do everything simultaneously. He does think opening up the ecosystem and making everything interoperable makes everything more valuable, though. Overall, he's very optimistic about the future and thinks it will all work out. Wuckert feels the same: he sees it as fundamental infrastructure. Managing relationships with micropayments Wuckert talks about how managing all their relationships and interactions becomes impossible when a creator or personality reaches a certain size. For example, Joe Rogan likely has a team, and he can no longer simply shoot off a tweet to a friend. Fabrikant says there needs to be a hierarchical structure to all of this. Nobody has 10,000 actual friends, so we need a way to separate the significant ones from the rest. We can use Bitcoin to do this, prioritizing them according to the metrics we choose. For example, we could prioritize them in terms of value exchanged or total interactions. With a scalable blockchain and micropayments, we have a measuring stick that allows us to record anything, and we can also use it to send signals. However, the best thing about decentralized social media powered by micropayments is how we can stop attention hijackers from interrupting us. We came to look for information and didn't necessarily want to see an ad, political Tweet, or video. This technology gives us the tools to control our attention again, which is hugely important.

Dollar set for first monthly gain of 2025 as trade deals ease uncertainty
NEW YORK/LONDON, July 31 (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar was headed for its first monthly gain for 2025 against major currencies on Thursday, underpinned by easing trade tensions and U.S. economic resilience. The dollar rose against the yen , trading at its highest level since May 28. It is on track to gain about 5% for July, making it the biggest monthly increase since December 2024. It was last up 0.83% at 150.765. In a widely expected move, the Bank of Japan on Thursday kept short-term interest rates steady at 0.5% by a unanimous vote, but revised up its inflation forecasts for the next few years. That came after the Federal Reserve left U.S. interest rates unchanged on Wednesday, ignoring persistent calls by President Donald Trump to lower borrowing costs. Fed Chair Jerome Powell also indicated he was in no rush to cut rates. The greenback has been bolstered by a hawkish Fed and U.S. economic resilience, with uncertainty over Trump's chaotic tariffs easing after an array of trade deals. The dollar index was up 0.16% at 99.949 after rising nearly 1% in the previous session. It is on track for the first monthly gain in 2025. "There's been a clash and a friction between what the Fed is seeing and deciding to do, and what the White House and perhaps a lot of people in the equity market want the Fed to do," said Juan Perez, director of trading of Monex USA in Washington. "If we had left the hawkish tone, the hawkish stance, and the hawkish press conference altogether, it makes sense to see the U.S. dollar rise - which it did. But today, because of the friction between the Fed and the White House, the dollar is once again hitting the brakes," Perez added. Data showed that the number of Americans filing new applications for unemployment benefits increased just marginally last week, suggesting that the U.S. labor market remained stable. The euro has been one of the biggest casualties of the dollar's ascent this month, as investors have rushed to unwind bets laid on earlier this year on the premise that the European market may offer better opportunities. The euro was last up 0.19% at $1.1426, having hit a seven-week low on Wednesday. Still, it remained on track to lose nearly 3% this month. "I think there was too much optimism in the price of the euro. And I think that's come back this week. There's been a lot of commentary about how the EU conceded to the U.S. on this trade deal and that's been a dose of reality for the Europeans," Rabobank strategist Jane Foley said. The dollar weakened 0.31% against the Swiss franc to 0.812 franc but it is on track to gain 2.36% for the month. The European Union's agreement on Sunday to 15% tariffs on U.S. exports has cleared up a lot of uncertainty. BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda also said the U.S.-Japan trade deal reduced uncertainty on the outlook and heightened the likelihood of Japan durably hitting the BOJ's 2% inflation target - a prerequisite for further rate hikes. New U.S. trade deals included one with South Korea, which Trump said on Wednesday would pay a 15% tariff on U.S. imports. That was lower than a threatened 25% and the Korean won strengthened on the news and last stood at 1,395.21 per dollar. Trump on Wednesday also slapped a 50% tariff on most Brazilian goods and said the United States is still negotiating with India. But he gave Mexico a 90-day reprieve ahead of his Friday deal deadline. "We do however continue to expect that the tariff rates now being announced and codified will ultimately prove to be more dollar negative, even if some of the bilateral announcements (particularly on the EU) likely catalysed the striking dollar rebound so far this week," Goldman Sachs analysts led by Stuart Jenkins wrote in an investor note.
