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.

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Ethereum OG, Hudson Jameson, about his experiences and learnings from actively working in the Ethereum ecosystem since 2015, as well as his personal story of experiencing burnout and his journey with mental health.Hudson is a developer who first learned about Bitcoin in 2011 and went on to create and launch the blockchain program at USAA in 2014 and join the Ethereum Foundation in 2016, where he worked until 2021. In 2019 while working at the Ethereum Foundation, Hudson also co-founded the Ethereum Cat Herders, an educational platform and research hub that supports the Ethereum Network.In this episode, we start off by talking about some of Hudson’s learnings from his time in Ethereum, including what he believes to have been the most pivotal moment in Ethereum history, how the community and culture around Ethereum has changed since 2015, and the biggest learnings from mistakes made during Ethereum’s time that other blockchains or crypto projects can learn from today.We then get into his takes on the current state of Ethereum and L2s, how he sees L2s interacting in the future, and a new whistleblowing use case for blockchain tech that he would love to see get built out.Finally, we wrap up with a conversation on dealing with burnout in crypto as Hudson shares his own burnout story that landed him in a mental hospital twice and inspired him to get much more involved in his own mental health journey. It’s a story that is all too relatable to those working in crypto, and Hudson shares his honest and raw thoughts on what we can do to protect our mental health while working in crypto, as well as what institutions and employers can do to support individuals. COLLECT THIS EPISODEhttps://www.rehashweb3.xyz/ FOLLOW USRehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchenHudson: https://twitter.com/hudsonjameson LINKSHudson’s blog: https://hudsonjameson.com/The Infinite Machine by Cami Russo: https://www.amazon.com/Infinite-Machine-Crypto-hackers-Building-Internet-ebook/dp/B07X8HS2WCThe Cryptopians by Laura Shin: https://www.amazon.com/Cryptopians-Idealism-Greed-Making-Cryptocurrency-ebook/dp/B08Y8MQ66ZBlog on what “Ethereum alignment” means: https://hackmd.io/@abdelhamid/ethereum-alignmentDEVCON: https://devcon.org/en/The Plasma Paper (2017): https://www.plasma.io/plasma.pdfSEAL project updates: https://twitter.com/samczsun TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro3:19 Hudson’s favorite things4:53 Most pivotal moments in Ethereum history5:38 Biggest mistake in Ethereum history9:55 How culture and community in Ethereum has changed since 201516:00 What does “Ethereum alignment” mean?18:08 Most overlooked aspect of Ethereum19:53 Hudson’s most fond memory of his time at the Ethereum Foundation22:07 Technical knowledge that non-technical people should have25:14 Hudson’s product review of Ethereum26:27 State of L2s32:19 Whistleblowing blockchain app34:37 Hudson’s mental health journey and burnout story40:30 How to avoid burnout in crypto46:29 How crypto companies can support their employees’ mental health52:06 Hudson’s final thoughts54:15 Question from the community56:00 Follow Hudson DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with María Paula Fernández, co-founder of JPG and a true OG in the NFT space, about living through another bear market, how to be a good web3 art curator, and new blockchain art projects that should be on your radar.We catch up on what MP's been up to since our last recording together and how she’s been feeling amidst yet another crypto bear market - and notably one that feels different from previous bear markets she’s lived through. Even though overall sentiments are a bit low, I can always rely on Maria to bring some humor into the mix, as we come to the shocking realization that Michael Lewis is in fact the new Tom Cruise (tune into this episode and you’ll hear what I mean).We then dive deep into the world of art curation and what the role of a curator is, especially in the web3 world. MP believes a good web3 curator is a good storyteller and a good educator, and we look at a new JPG exhibit, Generative Art Beyond the Algorithm, as an example of good curation. COLLECT THIS EPISODEhttps://www.rehashweb3.xyz/ FOLLOW USRehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchenMP: https://twitter.com/MPtherealmvpJPG: https://twitter.com/______jpg______ LINKSSeptember 2021 interview with María Paula on The Unstoppable Podcast: https://youtu.be/EuhPFMecezYS4 E6 | Art You Can’t See w/Sarah Meyhoas & Mitchell Chan: https://rehash.mirror.xyz/-aihBv_hJwt8iWd91XubvPMs_GQxt4sX2GUAWW-hCKkWeb by Jan Robert Leegte: https://web.leegte.org/Stevie P: https://steviep.xyz/Sacra Famiglia by Ann Hirsch: https://www.sacra.family/Dear Scammer by Ann Hirsch: https://www.hiddengems.fyi/p/dear-scammer-letters-by-ann-hirschThe Boys of Summer by Mitchell Chan: https://chan.gallery/boysofsummer/Bitchcoin by Sarah Meyohas: https://sarahmeyohas.com/bitchcoin/Crypto Certs by Ed Fornieles: https://www.edfornielesstudios.com/GALLERY: https://twitter.com/GALLERYGenerative Art Beyond the Algorithm: https://naturalstatic.jpg.space/exhibitionNatural Static: https://naturalstatic.jpg.space/Social Contracts: https://socialcontracts.jpg.space/ TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro4:32 How MP stays up to date on SBF drama8:32 Is there still too much toxic positivity in crypto?13:45 What successful NFT projects all have in common15:56 MP’s favorite NFT projects19:20 Market Makers event in Berlin26:06 What makes a good web3 art NFT curator?37:51 Generative Art Beyond the Algorithm41:26 Natural Static by Jonathan Chomko47:03 Where MP sees NFTs being in 10 years49:22 MP’s favorite crypto drama51:49 Follow MP DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.
