Bastyon is a social media platform that combines aspects of Youtube, Twitter, and Torrent. It has close to half a billion users and is rapidly growing. Bastyon was built around the idea that social media should become Web 3.0 and decentralised with open-source code, distributed infrastructure, and without corporate control, much like Bitcoin. Bastyon lets users create and modify content according to transparent rules. Meanwhile, bloggers and node operator earn Pocketcoins.
Bastyon’s inventor is Daniel Satchkov. To discuss topics such as online privacy protection, censorship resistance and building for survival in times crisis, cyber outages, or cyber warfare, he recently joined Bitcoin.com News Podcast.
Daniel published and worked in quantitative finance, machine learning and other areas. He was awarded the Peter L. Bernstein Award in 2015 for his article in Institutional Investor Journals. Daniel’s mission in inventing the Bastyon was to ensure that people can govern their own communication without arbitrary censorship from large corporations. Daniel is fascinated at the possibilities of Bitcoin as a tool to secure freedom and disrupt many industries that are quasi-monopolistic.
Here’s the link to the main supplement website that accepts Pocketcoin, as discussed in the podcast.
Bastyon can be accessed on Bastyon.com, but the most censorship resistant way is to use the Bastyon desktop app, which can be downloaded here: https://bastyon.com/applications
