Crypto has dabbled in a variety of markets throughout its history, giving users the unprecedented opportunity to micro-monetize their activities.

Play-to-win games, along with music streaming earnings, were the antecedents of this type of cryptocurrency integration. Music streaming also contributed to the development of this form of crypto integration. Value-for-value podcast platform Fountain announced a new collaboration on Jan. 24 with financial services firm ZEBEDEE to enable Bitcoin (BTC) micropayments for podcast listeners. ZEBEDEE helps to monetize games and applications. The ability to listen to a podcast and get paid for it has been described as a strong combination and the future of content production by Oscar Merry, the creator and CEO of Fountain.

“In a few years, when we look back at paid subscriptions for content platforms that aren’t tied to how much we actually use those platforms, we’ll look back and laugh at how primitive and wasteful it was.”

In addition, as a result of the relationship with ZEBEDEE, customers will be able to benefit from the benefits without having prior knowledge of cryptocurrencies thanks to the incorporation of connections with debit and credit cards. According to Merry, such a development brings together a “fragmented podcast market,” which at the moment is made up of a large number of apps and hosting companies that are out of sync with each other.

He went on to emphasize the fact that the value of a platform increases with every minute spent consuming or generating content, as well as viewing ads. Why shouldn’t you share the financial rewards that come from the value you generate on the platform?

The adoption of new technologies is starting to become almost imperceptible as developers continue to prioritize utility in newly developed protocols.

Recently, a program called “party-to-earn” targeted the electronic music business with the goal of developing a currency that festival-goers, clubbers, and fans alike could use.
