On today's episode, we are with Chris Castig, Co-founder of Console. We start with an exploration of Chris' crypto journey, which began when he learned of Napster (the p2p file sharing application) and soon after Bitcoin. As a musician, he then describes those innovative technologies as inspirational in his decision to study new media, specifically distributed systems culture.Furthermore, Chris is extending those values with Console, a community chat app where you own your identity, data and decentralized chat.Additionally, it uses Signal-level protocol to protect your privacy on the app. Beyond self-sovereignty and privacy, Console seeks to reduce the noise from apps like Telegram and Discord to provide a better experience for DAOs and web3 communities.And it is now in closed beta to co-build with the district. As always, lots to unpack here, so let's get started.To learn more about Chris and Console, you can follow them on Twitter @castig and @consoledao, respectively.
