On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Ravi Bakhai, founder of Hypeshot, about why livestreaming is a compelling medium across so many industries, what a crypto-enabled live streaming platform unlocks for creators, and future livestreaming trends we can expect to see in the next five years. Even though livestreaming has technically been around since the early 1990s, with the very first livestream taking place in 1993 when a few employees from Xerox PARC in California decided to livestream their buddies’ band performance, livestreaming didn’t really pick up steam until the late 2000s or early 2010s when YouTube launched livestreaming and Twitch was born. Since then, livestreaming has seen a slow but steady growth, primarily in niche communities. More recently, however, livestreaming has been seeping into a wider array of industries and creator types. Now we’re not just seeing gamers streaming on Twitch, but we’re also seeing artists, musicians, and other types of creators in the streaming scene. On the opposite end of that spectrum, we’re seeing big corporations building livestreaming into their corporate marketing and communications strategies as well.Ravi also shares the latest on Hypeshot, the crypto-enabled live streaming platform he’s building, as well as how some of his favorite streamers have been using the crypto elements there. Finally, we riff on some serious and some not so serious use cases we’d like to see on Hypeshot in the future. COLLECT THIS EPISODEhttps://www.rehashweb3.xyz/ FOLLOW USRehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchenRavi: https://twitter.com/ravibakhaiHypeshot: https://twitter.com/HypeshotHQ LINKS“Life is Non-fungible” Ted Talk (Roham Gharegozlou): https://youtu.be/u894J50AqOs?si=9cHa9r15HVK6eZvA TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro2:29 Origin story of Hypeshot6:25 Free to consume, valuable to own7:33 History of livestreaming13:35 Monetizing from livestreaming14:35 What crypto unlocks for livestreaming18:11 Hypeshot vs Unlonely vs Livepeer20:21 Distribution in web3 media23:10 Ravi’s favorite Hypeshot streamers23:42 New use cases for crypto-enabled livestreaming27:28 Future of web3 livestreaming32:49 Who Ravi wants to hear on the podcast33:39 How Ravi crypto pills his friends and family36:35 Follow Ravi DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.
