Ryan X. Charles, the creator of Moneybutton and Yours.org, is something of a cryptocurrency veteran after five years in the industry. Now, a decade after Bitcoin was released, and after last year's 'hash war', he says he's looking forward to "really radical adoption" of crypto during the next decade:
“We’re going to go from the toy phase and the experiment phase and the learning phase into the reality phase - of actually applying this technology for real problems and real businesses and real customers in the real world.”
To help that along, he has launched Moneybutton, a micropayments app that aims to make paying and earning small rewards as simple as hitting the Facebook 'Like' button. In this conversation, Charles discusses his work on making onboarding new users to crypto easier and his ideas for how Moneybutton and other apps could enable whole new business models - in which everyone will be compensated for the talents and creativity they display online.
