Entering a Crypto Renaissance
As the world of blockchain develops, more and more tools are becoming available for people and professionals of all walks of life to take advantage of crypto-powered resources. Just over the last two years, an arsenal of decentralized applications (or DApps) have made it possible for creative individuals to earn cryptocurrency through the tokenization of written content, music, videos, vlogs, and much more. On The Creative Crypto, we have already begun covering the various technologies that are both available today and accessible in the near future. The projects we report on are exciting tools that seek to transform the nature of creative production as the future of information becomes more liberated, transparent, and individually empowering. Many around the world have already begun to utilize these tools with great success.
So, as a consistent way to bring these works to the forefront, we will be presenting our bi-monthly (the twice-a-month kind of bi-monthly) “Blockchain-Powered Content to Keep an Eye On” - a compilation of inspiring content that has been shared on a DApp. These will include articles on Steemit.com, videos on DLive, artwork on CreativeChain, streams from Rize, podcasts on DSound, and many more.
For our initial overlook of “The State of Crypto Creativity in 2018,” refer to our earlier article here.

Cool post!
Now that there are, next to Curie, also other Curation teams like Sandbox and Sandbox Alpha, whaleshare, or eye4art, I have hope that this will ignite other users as well to create unique Curation teams. So there is a chance that this platform will be humanized again, instead of being bot-reigned.
Thumbs up! :)
Thanks for the curation. Have you looked into Fundition yet? I'm eager to try their crowdfunding platform.
Thanks for the suggestion @distantsignal! We'll definitely look into Fundition :)
Thanks a lot for featuring me, guys!

Which is the app that would make me absorb everything there is to know about building awesome, creative platforms like these in lightning time? I love the Creative Chain project. I hope that really takes off to the 🌖
Thumbssss up !! Amazing creatives and designer and that cover artwork is Super Dope! keep up the great work @creativecrypto
Not exactly what I would call blockchain "powered" but still some cool content
Wow! So nice!
Thank you for the mention! And such kind words!
And this is an awesome idea you have here! An online magazine! Great job! And good luck in the future! :)

STOPIts gonna more fun in @creativecrypto magazine. Awesome artworks, really an inspiration. Keep it up! Good job!
Cool article! Really interesting look at a number of different aspect of crypto related endeavors. Definitely something to keep an eye on. :)
If something allows blockchain is the automation of transactions, and that means we can be talking about registration and termination of contracts, obtaining certificates, collection and automatic verification of evidence, money transfer, activation of services, or any other similar action.
I just received a comment from you today and a wonderful upvote on my post!!!!
Thank you so much for the support! I would love to invite you back to my blog sometime to read my Fireflies series - if you do get the chance! 😊 It's a YA fantasy story that I'm writing exclusively for Steemit! It's grown organcially since I've started releasing it and seems to be picking up "steem". hehehe
I have thirteen chapters released so far (most likely about 1/3 of the way through- not exactly sure because I'm still writing!) but when fellow Steemians are introduced part-way through, they don't just read the post and leave. They go back to the beginning, catch up, and stay! (What an honor!!!)
I'd love to see what you think about it!!!
Thanks again for stopping by this morning! Steem on!
