Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we are joined by Julian Rodriguez who is the Founder & CEO of Momento, a social media platform that enables creators and followers to profit from digital connections. He is a serial entrepreneur, product manager, and innovation-focused strategist.
Welcome to the 144th episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on April 24th, 2023. Starting off his career at Bitcoin Magazine, Julian fills us in on how crypto has evolved over the last ten years. We discuss the current state of social media, the problems with it, and how he intends to fix it.
Thanks, everyone for listening, and don’t forget to tune in next week when we interview Zenobia Godschalk, SVP of Communications at Hedera Hashgraph.
Topics Covered Today:
Do you see the digital collectible market recovering this year?
I believe Momento is not the only platform allowing content creators to monetize their audience. What makes you unique?
You allow fans to also make money, I assume by trading NFTs or is there some other monetization mechanism?
One of the things I hear often is that for anyone to compete or make inroads against the likes of Facebook, TikTok, etc. you really need to scale, do you think you will be able to do so?
What’s the market fit for this? I love that you don’t need to be blockchain knowledgeable to use Momento. Is that always going to be the case? Will you ever get more complicated and offer more advanced experiences?
All of this is connected to the creator economy which is only continuing to grow. But with the likely ban of Tiktok in a few regions, is that affecting what you are doing?
For creators listening to this podcast or watching the video, what’s your pitch to them? How do they convince their followers to use Momento and escape that “crypto” “nft” stigma?
Lastly, Momento looks great but I was wondering if there’s anything exciting on the roadmap you could share with us.
