We live in an amazing world! With the advent of new technologies progressively changing how we live our day to day lives. The internet itself has fundamentally changed our world and how we exchange information. Social media platforms like Facebook have connected people all around the world and will have lasting impact for our future, yet amidst all of these great advances challenges have arisen.
The Challenges
Privacy. As platforms have grown, so have the desires to protect sensitive information, and the voices of its’ users. Many “centralized” platforms collect massive amounts of data, later sold to data centers, to target users with marketing gimmicks and ads.
Content creation and management. There are too many platforms for the average person to stay on top of and produce enough content to adequately engage the users. It is almost is a full time job tracking and measuring engagement to ensure constant visibility.
Censorship.Too many voices are now being censored for speaking opinions that are not in line with the status quo among these major social platforms. This has resulted in channels getting de-monetized, or buried with complex algorithms designed to keep these voices from being heard. Worse yet channels have been shut down completely just for exercising their first amendment rights!
The Solution
A global, social media hub that allows YOU to control when and how you want to share your information! A place YOU can connect ALL social media profiles into a single interface for easy management! A platform that allows YOU to decide when ads will display, if you want to make money from them! A platform that allows YOU to be heard at all times, to connect with as many people as YOU want to without a top down algorithm trying to control or censor you!!
Enter onG.social
OnG.social (onG) has created such a platform that effectively “upgrades” social media!!!. The platform is currently available for you to sign up now.
The most exciting part is that this sleek, freedom fighting social hub is launching their own cryptocurrency and moving into the blockchain!! Yes! Blockchain technology is doing for the internet, what the internet did for the world! It’s immutable, it’s decentralized, it’s completely transparent, and it doesn’t lend itself to top down control, which is important to ensure that monetization remains intact, along with people’s voices!
Monetization Upgrade: onG Coin + Other Cryptos
On July 17th, 2017 onG will launch an ICO (Initial Coin Offering) for the onG Coin - a new cryptocurrency that is built on the same underlying technology as Bitcoin. During the ICO, onG will be releasing 70 million total onG Coins for $.50 USD each USD.
OnG will be releasing the remaining OnG Coins as cryptocurrency rewards over a 20 year period for participating on the platform at OnG.social. Now, in addition to earning advertising revenue, community members will be able to earn OnG Coin cryptocurrency rewards for any meaningful contribution made to the platform. OnG also plans to add other cryptocurrencies to the hub, such as Storj, Golem, MaidSafe (SafeCoin) and Steem.
This ICO is significant for several reasons:
Most ICO’s are essentially “crowdfunding” of an idea. OnG.social has an existing platform that is quite awesome I might add, with hundreds of thousands of active users. So you’re not just getting cryptocurrency and hoping that they deliver because they already have!
OnG was incubated by IBM early on, so they had a great headstart from a massive, innovative company.
OneName Global, Inc. (the parent corporation for onG.social) is a Delaware Corporation with a pre-ICO valuation of $25 million. They already have a number of celebrities using onG.social with more to come.
Gravity Algorithm
According to their whitepaper onG will be releasing a new proprietary algorithm that incentivizes truthful content. This is truly revolutionary in the day and age of fake news, which OnG plans to eradicate, but not through censorship - This will be done through community consensus allowing the community to validate or invalidate submissions. Posts that are validated will receive more “Gravity”, which will increase rewards to the content creator and will allow the community to quickly see real news receiving more community Gravity. Posts that are down voted will not be censored, rather will receive negative Gravity, indicating that community consensus deems the news as false propaganda.
Final Comment:
Users have the power on this platform, a refreshing concept in the 21st century, and we control what is deemed important, or legitimate. We can curb propaganda, and save the internet from “fake news.” In the age of dying news media and censorship, this is our last defense against suppression as described by Ryan Shapiro.
“Democracy cannot meaningfully function without an informed citizenry, and such a citizenry is impossible without broad public access to information about the operations of government.”
Ryan Shapiro
Right now is the opportunity to support a great movement with OnG, while capitalizing on a once in a lifetime opportunity to get your hands on what certainly will be the “next Bitcoin”, where unreal ROI potential is being realized!!
