Previous Point Systems

About a year ago, Reddit trialed a “group points” program. That saw users getting compensation for their participation on the site in group points. Moreover, It was first to run on the Reddit community r/ethtrader followed by run on the community r/Stellar.

Even though the initial runs received community interest, this recent video shows many users hesitant to adopt blockchain for use of a buzzword. Some users are curious about which blockchain to use, or whether Reddit creates its own. The underlying question permeating the whole thread is “why blockchain? ”

One of the top comments just asks, “Which blockchain? “Ethereum,” to which various users replied, although none could provide any supporting evidence for the claims.

A blockchain-based ecosystem on Reddit could be a major step towards mainstream adoption. More than 1.3 billion unique visitors opened Reddit.com in February 2020 with 430 million active users reported in December 2019.

38% percent of Reddit users consider themselves technology fans, according to Comscore. Also, R/Bitcoin has over 1.4 million users, with only 1 million r/Cryptocurrency users sitting shy.

Reddit readers can already tip posts via the Brave Browser using Basic Attention Tokens (BAT). However, this feature is fully initiated by the Brave team. Also, Twetch, Twitter-like social networking site of Bitcoin SV, and Hive, the hard fork of the original Steem blockchain functionality tipping works inside their respective communities.
