Crypto Media Coalition, Roundtable, Unveils Token ($RTB) to Empower Independent Journalism and Free Speech
New York, United States, September 9th, 2024, Chainwire
Visionary co-founders Mario Nawfal, Scott Melker, James Heckman, and Eyal Hertzog – and an elite coalition of crypto visionaries, have come together to launch a groundbreaking Web3 platform with integrated token, designed to support and fund independent journalism. The decentralized “Roundtable” media platform enables citizens to directly support publishers and already hosts millions of viewers and revenue – ensuring sustainability.
On Monday, Sept 9th, the founders will present the $RTB ecosystem on X Spaces: Crypto Town Hall.
$RTB leverages blockchain technology to protect both journalists and consumers from threatened or actual demonetization—an insidious form of censorship. Roundtable integrates the $RTB token into the platform, so premium content partners can share ownership in the ecosystem, and directly connect with their followers, to ensure independent journalism thrives long-term.
The coalition includes a dream team of the world’s top crypto journalists, analysts, policy-makers, industry leaders, and media brands (full list below).
James Heckman, CEO, and chairman, commented: “our platform embodies 35 years of experience building digital media platforms for major media, now enhanced by Hertzog’s groundbreaking Web3 foundation and integrated payment system. There’s truly nothing like it in the market, and it’s poised to scale from day one. The promise of decentralized media has finally arrived.”
Scott Melker, Co-founder and Host The Wolf of All Streets Podcast & CryptoTownHall, also commented: “The $RTB token isn’t just another cryptocurrency; it’s a beacon for free speech and a new era for journalism where the truth isn’t just told, it’s rewarded.”
Roundtable’s revolutionary Web3 platform addresses the opaque tactics and data loss prevalent in mainstream platforms by ensuring absolute transparency and data control. Previous Web3 media ventures have attempted to succeed next to mainstream platforms but were unable to achieve sufficient revenue and consumer critical mass. Roundtable has already established an economic and distribution inflection point to execute $RTB token ecosystem sustainability.
James Heckman and Eyal Hertzog will be in the Crypto Town Hall spaces next Monday, September 9th, to discuss the $RTB ecosystem, with many of their co-founding partners and industry leaders listed below. users can visit the CoinGecko landing page and Uniswap pair listing to learn more about the token.
