Every minute that you spend consuming content, creating content, or viewing ads, increases the value of the platform you\u2019re using,\u201d Fountain CEO Oscar Merry said in the release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost free apps we use every day don\u2019t recognise or reward this &#8211; but Fountain is different. It\u2019s the only podcast app that rewards both listeners and podcasters for the value that they bring to the platform,\u201d Merry continued.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/fountain-all-screens.png\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<p>Users of the Fountain platform can not only listen to their favorite podcasts, but also clip their favorite moments and share them with their friends. In addition, Fountain offers a way for their users to actually make money from sharing these clips. <\/p>\n<p>Also, users can choose to \u201cBoost\u201d a comment by paying to get a particular comment seen by creators. Additionally, users can choose to stream money directly to the content creator of the podcast. Furthermore, Fountain Promotions allows users to get paid for listening to ads, creating a unique experience outside of the norm of consuming content.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/fountain-clips-and-likes.png\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe team at Fountain is pioneering a new category, Listen to Earn, which will allow anyone in the world with an internet connection the opportunity to earn monetary value for listening to their favorite podcasts,\u201d said Anthony &#8220;Pomp&#8221; Pompliano, a Fountain investor and well-known entrepreneur in the bitcoin ecosystem. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cRather than creating a worthless native token to pay individual users with, Fountain has intelligently decided to use bitcoin, a global digital currency that has proven to hold purchasing power more effectively than any fiat currency over long time periods,\u201d Pomp continued to explain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fountain, a podcast platform for creators and consumers, now allows users to earn bitcoin while listening to shows and ads with a host of other features.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2785,"featured_media":8507,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1641,1738,93,1739],"class_list":{"0":"post-8504","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-earn-bitcoin","9":"tag-fountain","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-podcasts"},"author_data":{"id":2785,"name":"Shawn Amick","nicename":"shawn-amick","avatar_url":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MjEwMTYzMzc3Njg5ODYzNjQ2-96x96.webp"},"featured_image_url":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/fountain-promotions.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8504","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2785"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8504"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8504\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8507"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
