So to expand on Reddit Gold, it's part of a subscription service that unlocks special access to Reddit content. You can also give other users Reddit Gold if you like their content. There is no mention of it being traded as an actual Cryptocurrency. I'd say that Reddit would be leaving money on the table if they didn't create their own crypto coin to pedal to their masses. That's just my opinion. If Reddit started paying it's Redditors to create content, Reddit could become the next Steemit! Lol. I would find it hard to believe if they didn't have an experiment in the works.

I mentioned Alexis Ohanian in the video of which I mistakenly and lovingly refer to as Alex Ohanneson, mwahaha (Forgive me, I was speaking off of the cuff). He started Reddit and sold it for an undisclosed sum of money. He has also done all types of other kool stuff. You can check out his Wikipedia page here:

I read his book after hearing him on NPR one day:
