I had the chance to speak with Dan Hensley, one of the co-founders of 3Speak on the Hive blockchain. It’s a video hosting alternative to YouTube and considered a highly decentralized free speech platform. We dive into decentralization, Hive, blockchain, 3Speak, and much more!
Video Timestamps:
00:00 Intro
01:23 About Dan
02:35 Blockchain
05:23 Why Steem & Hive
10:30 Free Speech & Decentralization
12:52 Speak Network & Speak Token
19:00 3Speak Updates
22:00 3Speak Origins
23:57 Compared To Other Platforms
26:27 The Future Of 3Speak
27:15 Outro
3Speak is the home of Free Speech on the internet. We exist because Silicon Valley has gone out of its’ way to deplatform and demonetize individuals because of their political beliefs, or the kind of content they upload, not because they break the law. 3Speak is keen to ensure that those people who have fallen foul of Silicon Valley’s arbitrary rules have a place to call home.
These are some of the questions we went over:
• Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
• How and when did you originally get into cryptocurrency
• Can you give us a brief introduction to 3Speak?
• What problem does 3Speak solve?
• Why did 3Speak move to Hive?
• How does blockchain technology solve censorship?
• You previously spoke at length about the Speak token launching, when do you expect we will see that?
• You previously said you wanted to further decentralize 3Speak over 2020, what has changed in the last year? Should we expect to see you working as part of a DAO soon?
• Where does the money come from? How is this sustainable?
• How did 3Speak get its name and what was the original idea or motivation to start it?
• What are the next big updates for 3Speak to release soon or that are in the works?
• Where does 3Speak fit in with other existing similar projects?
• Where do you see 3Speak going in the next year? The next 5 years?
• So where can everyone go to learn more about this?

Nice work here. Genuine. Concise. Realistic and to the point. Totally worth spreading all over social media like wildfire (hint hint).
It’s nice because it’s realistic. Yes there’s money to it but that doesn’t trump the values of the business model.
Surely another path other than for young youtubers. this will probably be the way i should take

great interview! I don't know why, but Dan seems to look different in every picture or video. Is it just me? 😅
haha shapeshifter confirmed. I tend to bulk/cut pretty widely. My weight can swing by 30lbs year to year.
Amazing interview, listened to the whole thing, learned more from it than what I've learned in the two months I've been active on Hive.
Consistency is the key and so is learning. I am happy to be on Hive and 3speak.
I posted this to a small discord that I am a member of. It's a discord channel for a 2nd amendment advocate who makes philosophical vlogs/critiques/debates.
A guy named Walt Anderson
good to see this project gets some traffic again. Lets see if it can outcompete lbry/odysee.
Great podcast!
Thanks for making this video... the technologies are not perfect, but the ones that need to be used are the ones that can be improved, like HIVE
Very nice talk @scottcbusiness
Always enjoyed listening to you @theycallmedan and the way you see Hive blockchain, and where is going in the future :)
Namaste
