In 2012 I launched a project called UpTweet.com
In short, it was a system that allowed people to “upvote” each others tweets…
When users upvote a sponsored tweet they get paid
crypto and we take a cut. Simple right?
The platform achieved some serious noteriety back then and even got an article
written by my friend
Vitalik Buterin:
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/uptweet-social-media-and-bitcoin-meet-again-1356483989The site ran for years and was able to onboard many users, but I was simply too early! Bitcoin’s price was too volatile, there was not enough people using it, and the dev tools at the time were awful.
In light of recent events with Twitters new commitment to
free speech and its new owner I have decided to relaunch UpTweet.com!
You guys are hearing it first for 3 reasons:
1. This forum changed my life.
2. I am looking for investors who want to go on this relaunch journey with me.
3. Free speech is important and I believe I have the solution to Twitters monetization problems.
Key points /milestones: 1. I have all the original source code which is built in a modular, clean, MVC format.
2. Source code will need some refactoring to keep up with latest security requirements.
3. Native coin for the platform will be switched from BTC to Doge for community marketing purposes.
4. Once the website is active again we will activate Bitcoin and other top cryptos for sponsored advertisements.
5. We will explore a compliant way to launch our own token to fuel WEB3 growth for the platform.
6. Mobile apps will be released and UI “face lift” will follow.
To see the site as it once was use the “Waybackmachine” or scroll through my Twitter history from 2013-2016 and you will see many campaigns that went viral. Here’s our biggest one:
