How is this functionally different than LBRY? I can't understand the difference. Is it meant to feel more YouTube like or something?

Odysee is more user-and-community oriented than LBRY. It mainly focuses on the user experience. Odysee tries an attempt and approach to gain a wider audience, for example, those users who not familiar with cryptocurrencies,  Odysee replaces the LBC with a credits icon. Technically, Odysee is built on top of LBRY, and additionally has like and dislike features, and also a notification. In short, yes it is indeed kinda like youtube's "successor".

The New York Times top tech story today is about LBRY.

LBC's value has shot up a bunch recently. Historically, these types of coins/platforms have always done very poorly. But censorship is also at an all time high and growing. Whether or not there's now enough technology and drive to send this coin skyrocketing is anyone's guess. But I'd say that the opportunity at least exists now unlike before.

It would be nice to see LBC added to a few more prominent exchanges I'd say first.

I should also mention that MintDice ran a small piece on LBRY earlier across it's site and platforms to help spread the awareness.

On a long term basis, yes, it's horrendous. On a recent basis, it's up ~3x on BTC if I'm not mistaken.

How is the 'live' coming along. That is going to be a game changer. Especially if you have a unique 'Live' show that will grab EVERYONE'S attention. Get someone on the cusp of society to perform a raunchy live video when LIVE lbry launches. That would be a GAME CHANGER!! Someone like Tekashi 69 who has been deplatformed by the industry.

The SEC is attempting to make nearly all cryptocurrencies illegal. LBRY is facing a challenge from the SEC under a new standard that would destroy the United States cryptocurrency industry.

(It will not, however, destroy LBRY -- all of your content, channels, Credits, etc. remain safe and under no circumstances will work on LBRY not continue)

We've set up a standalone site with more details and to promote awareness of this disastrous challenge: https://helplbrysavecrypto.com/

You can also discuss on Odysee: https://odysee.com/@lbry:3f/helplbrysavecrypto:b

There's also a petition at: https://www.change.org/p/u-s-securities-and-exchange-commission-cryptocurrency-is-not-a-crime

SEC is killing innovation and forcing it out of the US!

YouTube ain't gonna want no more competition
The freedom of speech they are after and they hate the idea of independent networks that are censorship-resistant.
We must stand up and act as one. Together, we might have a chance.

Anyone knows why Bittrexglobal disabled withdrawals/deposits for LBRY ? They don't seem to answer my ticket.

[Texacha]

Because they don't want to mess with the SEC.

LBRY CEO says that SEC’s lawsuit against his company puts ‘every actively developed blockchain at risk’

Fear always impedes progress, Cryptocurrency must be free and legal to exchange.
Cryptocurrency is NOT a crime!

Not only government agencies such as the SEC hinder the development of the crypto market, but also major banks are actively involved in this, such as JPMorgan, for example, here is a letter to JPMorgan shareholders on behalf of JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon in which he directly calls digital assets a potential threat and calls for stricter regulation of cryptocurrencies: "Digital currencies and fintech projects should have a clear legal status, since they potentially threaten the traditional banking sector."  https://twitter.com/jpmorgan/status/1379773451393716226

[Daltonik]

Founder of Quantum Economics, Mati Greenspan, addresses an open letter "Don't let them kill cryptocurrencies" in which he writes in particular : "If the court rules against LBRY, it will literally call into question the future of all cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin and ether. Judges are usually guided by previous decisions in similar cases, so a negative decision in the case against LBRY will allow you to kill any project that uses tokens on the blockchain. Projects in the field of DeFi and NFT, projects based on smart contracts and any other, with the exception, perhaps, of stablecoins"
"Let's hope the judge sees the gaping holes in the SEC's statements. LBRY's lawyers have very strong arguments, so I'm pretty optimistic in this case"  https://mailchi.mp/6f7986014032/hot-off-the-press-qe-episode-13445836?e=ac072fa953

They only delist LBC on the Bittrex US market tho. The Bittrex global will not delist LBRY.

It was so stupid because I had a buy order in ETH Market but they left it in the market even though I did not know the market would not be available to me. So the buy order goes through now I had to withdraw it to another exchange. Bittrex is getting ridiculous.

This thread seems quiet . Anyway, LBRY foundation is running a blog program in case anyone interested. The bounty is to make an article then post it on Odysee.

Each month the editorial board (currently Jon and Julie) will choose at least one article to repost from the LBRY Foundation Blog. The author of the published article will receive 50 USD in LBC and have their article boosted with 200,000 LBC for 15 days.
