NEW MONEY: From Reality TV to Behind You...

COINDESK
About this episode

How can the barrier to entry to crypto be lowered so that everyone can take advantage of new technology?

Joining “New Money” hosts Spencer Dinwiddie and Solo Ceesay are OG reality stars Gabrielle Victor and Danielle Victor, better known as the “Victor Twins.” The twins have successfully monetized their life since their rise to popularity while on reality show “Bad Girls.” They’ve worked to be their genuine selves while posting to social media, and their fans love the authenticity that comes with their content. Even better, the two have found a way to monetize their personalities and daily lives through social media.

Though social media offers a legitimate career path for many creators today, they are still bound to the structure and income that platforms offer. With crypto and blockchain technology, creators can be empowered to determine their own worth. How can a future decentralized social media improve the lives of creators?

Watch the full episode here.
