What is Odysee? New streaming site powered by cryptocurrency OdyseeOdysee is a new streaming service that\u2019s looking to provide an alternative to both YouTube and Twitch with an all-new site \u2013 one that\u2019s completely powered by crypto. When it comes to streaming online, Twitch and Youtube are, of course, the biggest names in the game. They\u2019re far from the only ones, though. One of the newest streaming sites around is Odysee, which launched in late 2020. Unlike Twitch or YouTube, they aim to use cryptocurrency to shake up the typical video\/streaming site design. What is LBRY? The LBRY cryptocurrency is basically what makes things tick on Odysee. Users can earn credits by simply signing up and performing other tasks clicking around the site, but you\u2019ll need a certain amount to even begin streaming. If you don\u2019t want to stream, you can still use LBRY to tip creators, stake a claim on your username, or even cash out what you earn \u2013 provided it\u2019s enough. According to creators LBRY, and by extension Odysee, were designed specifically as an alternative to YouTube and Twitch. As we\u2019ve seen in recent months, these sites can and will demonteize creators apparently at will. \u201cLBRY aims to be an alternative to these sites,\u201d the protocol\u2019s official site states. \u201cAllowing publishers and their fans to interact directly without the risk of demonetization or other meddling.\u201d How to get started on Odysee As with any other site, you\u2019ll need a valid email address to sign up to Odysee, and as soon as you\u2019re all registered, you\u2019ll receive a sliver or LBRY to get you started. Clicking around the site will net you more small gains to get you going, which you can use akin to bits on Twitch for creators, or as we mentioned to cash out yourself. If you\u2019re interested in Odysee, or simply want to give something other than YouTube or Twitch a shot for once, we highly recommend checking out the site\u2019s info section. As more and more creators clash with these two dominant video and streaming sites, they could very well look to move to completely new sites. Odysee integrates crypto unlike any other streaming site we\u2019ve seen so far, so it just might be one to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
