Crypto Media Coalition, Roundtable, Unveils Token ($RTB) to Empower Independent Journalism and Free Speech
09/04/2024 17:27
Web3 social media platform Roundtable is pioneering a new take on tokenized content creation
“Roundtable” ($RTB). Visionary co-founders Mario Nawfal, Scott Melker, James Heckman, and Eyal Hertzog - and an elite coalition of crypto visionaries have come together to launch a groundbreaking Web3 Platform with integrated token, designed to support and fund independent journalism. The decentralized “Roundtable” media platform enables citizens to directly support publishers, and already hosts millions of viewers and revenue - ensuring sustainability.
Monday, Sept 9th, the founders will present the $RTB ecosystem on X, Crypto Town Hall spaces.
$RTB leverages blockchain technology to protect both journalists and consumers from threatened or actual demonetization - the ultimate form of censorship. Roundtable integrates the $RTB token into the Platform, so premium content partners can share ownership in the ecosystem, directly connect with their followers, to ensure independent journalism thrives long-term.
The coalition includes a dream team of the world’s top crypto journalists, analysts, policy-makers, industry leaders, and media brands (full list below).
After Elon Musk purchased X (formerly Twitter) in 2022, top advertisers left the platform after left-leaning political interest groups pressured sponsors to pull their budgets. Musk has since filed a lawsuit against these group for defamation, claiming that their intentionally deceptive tactics have led to billions of dollars of lost revenue for X, but his platform remains challenged.
Roundtable’s revolutionary Web3 platform addresses the opaque tactics and data loss prevalent in mainstream platforms by ensuring absolute transparency and data control. Previous Web3 media ventures have attempted to succeed next to mainstream platforms, but were unable to achieve insufficient revenue and consumer critical mass. Roundtable has already established an economic and distribution inflection point to execute $RTB token ecosystem sustainability.
James Heckman and Eyal Hertzog will be in the Crypto Town Hall spaces next Monday, September 9th, to discuss the $RTB ecosystem, with many of their co-founding partners and industry leaders listed below. You can visit the CoinGecko landing page and Uniswap pair listing to learn more about the token.
