Winner Take All Podcast

I talk with Christopher Bedford, a founding partner at RightForge, about building a new internet infrastructure company in the shadow of big tech. RightForge is an internet infrastructure provider that claims to be a first of its kind company operating infrastructure while being committed to American ideals online. RightForge is positioning themselves to be a key player for enabling independent free speech platforms to operate outside the gargantuan grasp of big tech providers like Amazon (operator of AWS). With many questions being raised around what constitutes free speech online and when platforms should or shouldn't be allowed to take action against users, RightForge seems positioned well for users who lean towards wanting a more open internet and are concerned about being deplatformed at the infrastructure level. I chatted with Chris about his experiences building a new internet infrastructure provider in an already mature and established industry, what inspired him and his partners to found the company, and the American ideals he sees as a guide to how RightForge should operate and find its niche. I think an overall theme here is looking at why independent platforms may be the future and why RightForge is needed the facilitate new tech entrants build around free speech and American ideals.

Facebook stock saw losses of over 26% after the company (now known as Meta Platforms) released its Q4 FY21 earnings report. Analyst sentiment turned bearish when the social media giant led by Mark Zuckerberg reported a quarter over quarter loss in daily active users, going from 1.93 billion daily users from 1.929 billion. I discuss why missing on growth is a grim sign for any tech business, if the metaverse contributed to this drop in stock price, and explain my theory on what caused the massive stock drop for Facebook/Meta, costing Zuck and company $200 billion+ in market value. Spoiler alert, high value users (the ones that advertisers most want to reach) don't like being censored, banned, and told what they can or can't talk about. We've seen huge growth on alt-tech platforms like Gab and Rumble because of Facebook's overly aggressive policy on speech and content moderation. 00:00 - Subscribe and Fight Big Tech 00:18 - Facebook plays the blame game 00:44 - Decline in daily active users (DAUs) 01:27 - Why has growth stalled? 03:05 - Can users trust Facebook/Meta? 03:40 - Alt Tech Growth 04:54 - High-value users leaving 05:50 - Metaverse won't fix the probelm 06:33 - Enjoy this video?

Tell the SEC that cryptocurrency must remain legal and free by signing this petition: https://www.change.org/p/u-s-securities-and-exchange-commission-cryptocurrency-is-not-a-crime Jeremy Kauffman, founder and CEO of the decentralized content sharing and publishing protocol LBRY, joins the show to discuss the ongoing SEC complaint against LBRY that threatens to stifle the entire cryptocurrency and blockchain industry in the U.S.. As Kauffman and Moazed touch on various details of the SEC complaint, they also discuss censorship on content platforms, launching and running a disruptive startup business, and the ongoing battle against the overreaching policies of big tech. Jeremy created LBRY because he fell in love with the idea of shared, global content registry that is owned and controlled by no one. Unsurprisingly, he is a longtime supporter of decentralized technology and freedom of information. Prior to LBRY, Jeremy founded TopScore, a startup that processes millions of dollars monthly in event and activity registrations. He attended Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he received degrees in physics and computer science. 00:00 - Subscribe for Tech & Business News Daily 00:22 - LBRY CEO Jeremy Kauffman 01:11 - So Easy for YouTubers to Crosspost to LBRY! 01:55 - What is LBRY and Odysee? 03:41 - The Successor to YouTube? 05:10 - Odysee in Top 5,00 Global Websites 05:28 - Big Tech Goes Against the Platform Ethos 08:14 - Have Big Tech CEOs Lost Control? 10:19 - LBRY's Fight Against the SEC 13:59 - Help LBRY Save Crypto 14:30 - LBRY Credit Response to SEC Complaint? 16:06 - Why is The SEC Pursuing LBRY? 18:14 - Is Cryptocurrency Considered a Security? 21:05 - Old Regulations Don't Work w/ Crypto 22:11 - Why Isn't Every Crypto Project Receiving SEC Complaints? 25:16 - Huge Implications for Crypto + Blockchain Industry! 26:33 - Case Has Been Ongoing Since 2018 28:08 - Trying to Run a Startup With Constant SEC Meddling 30:05 - $1,00,000+ in Legal Fees 30:59 - What Can Crypto Supporters Do To Help? 34:18 - Closing Remarks Originally Aired: 04/13/21 #LBRY #Crypto #CEO — 📚 Grab a copy of the Amazon Best Seller Modern Monopolies: https://amzn.com/B017RC8CBC ❓ Are you part of a large enterprise interested in spinning out a platform business?
