In today's episode, we'll cover the launch of Zebedee's ZBD app and their social platform that incorporates microtransactions and Bitcoin.Have you heard of Zebedee's new ZBD app? It has a gaming-centric Bitcoin wallet and a social platform with a unique twist. Instead of simply "liking" other users' content, you can earn a little Bitcoin by sending "zaps" - very small amounts of Bitcoin. It's a whole new way to monetize your content and have a more engaging social experience. You can even enjoy encrypted DMs with the option to use them to send payments. Zebedee, which is focused on payment solutions using Bitcoin's speedy Lightning Network, has now launched a new initiative to contribute open-source code and products to the layer-2 protocol built on top of Bitcoin. Dubbed No Big Deal (NBD), the new not-for-profit project has already resulted in several products and code repositories available to anyone willing to build on the Lightning Network. But wait, there's more: with decentralized social media, users have more control of their data than in traditional social media apps. You have the freedom to carry your identity and followers across any number of apps. No longer restricted to a closed-off ecosystem, you can connect with friends and creators regardless of the specific platform they use.Jack Dorsey, Twitter co-founder, has also been focused on creating decentralized social media through Nostr's decentralized protocol for building apps. And he's keen on seeing many different such platforms emerge and thrive - a "good thing", according to him. With the rise of Nostr, users can now sign up for a waitlist for early access to the new ZBD app, which can possibly bring new and positive changes to the world of social media.Today in our podcast, we discussed Zebedee's ZBD app and their new social platform that allows users to send microtransactions instead of likes and earn Bitcoin.
