Tang: Livepeer is the only dApp video streaming solution in 2017
“If you are Creating a decentralized application, and you want to add video streaming to the application, there is right now really no solution to do that, because all the video streaming solutions are centralized solutions, and we are kind of, we're kind of th…”
Tang: Governments can easily block centralized video services like Wowza
“If you want to build in video streaming into those applications you would have to use something like LiveSphere. Versus, wow, you couldn't use Wowza. Yeah, because the government will be able to figure out the IP of Lauza and block the service.”
Tang: Token incentives align users to evangelize and grow network value
“The whole idea of the blockchain is that the participants are actually the stakeholders, right? So in a traditional application, if you use something like Facebook live, you know, you are used, you are a user of Facebook live, but that's it, right? As much as …”
Tang: Bitcoin forks will fail because miners lack incentives to switch

Tang: Bitcoin and Ethereum will coexist and serve distinct use cases
“I think all of these blockchains will exist, will coexist. So it's not like Ethereum is going to exist and Bitcoin is going to go away. My personal belief is that Bitcoin has its use case, and so does Ethereum.”
Tang: Excess mining capacity lowers decentralized infrastructure prices and drives adoption
“If you're spending up a bunch of miners, you're actually providing a lot of computation resources To the network. So for a network that works, that has the right incentives in place the network will leverage the access capacity that you provide to the network …”
Tang: Crypto needs marketers to translate technical complexity for mainstream adoption
“In order for crypto to reach the mainstream, there's actually a huge need for people who are able to translate the complex complexity into simple languages. So for people who are native marketers, people like you, right? So there's a huge need for that skill.”
Tang: ConsenSys is hiring 400 people to build the Ethereum ecosystem
“Joseph Lubin, who was one of the one of the founders of Ethereum left Ethereum to start ConsenSys, which is now hiring, you know, 400 people just building applications, building open source projects around the Ethereum ecosystem to make that network grow as qu…”
Tang: Livepeer launched its token on Ethereum for underlying network security
“In fact, Lifepeer is built on top of Ethereum.
we use the Ethereum platform to launch our token so that so that people can hold our token and not have to worry about
How secure the Livepeer blockchain is because we use, we kind of leverage the security of th…”
