"DLive is built on the modern blockchain, providing a disruptive solution for the industry DLive's mission to empower creators through their revolutionary reward system."
At the time, it seemed that was that-PewDiePie started streaming on the platform, advertising his live casts on Twitter, but made no mention of DLive's blockchain integration or what it meant for him, other creators, or his viewers.
To celebrate DLive joining BitTorrent Family, we're giving away a PewDiePie Chair But Felix, who's BitTorrent? Well, BitTorrent is the biggest peer-to-peer, file-sharing network in the world, powered by Tron blockchain, which means they have over 100 million users.
Yes, that's PewDiePie mentioning Tron and affiliated company BitTorrent, which he claimed to have "Over 100 million users."
So how did DLive get the world's biggest independent content creator to utter the words "Tron" and "Blockchain" in quick succession?
Well, at the turn of the year it was revealed that BitTorrent got DLive to "Join its ecosystem" by merging the latter's account system with BitTorrent to integrate the communities and drive traffic.
With PewDiePie signing a presumably multi-million-dollar deal with DLive, the fact that it effectively joined BitTorrent was likely something he was contracted to mention.
In 2018, as the initial coin offering boom was still ongoing, PewDiePie took part in a promotional video for a cryptocurrency project, shilling something called SGamePro in a one-minute advertisement.
Unlike DLive, SGamePro is seemingly a dead project, with the company's official Twitter account not posting any messages since April of last year, when it announced that PewDiePie had forayed further into blockchain through DLive.
History repeating itself would suggest that DLive, BitTorrent, and Tron may eventually close up shop, for Kjellberg's uncanny ability to murder memes might just apply to blockchain projects too.
Why is "YouTube's King" PewDiePie shilling Tron and BitTorrent?
