In recent days the team behind TTC announced their acquisition of the ALIVE global video sharing service. One of the biggest early steps I have ever seen from a blockchain company to really set themselves as an industry maker. An acquisition like this takes TTC out of the new blockchain arena and puts it head to head with major platforms, now reaching a 10 million user base with the ALIVE purchase, this easily moved TTC into the ring with some of the giants. What makes recent moves like this such a big deal is this is only the second dAPP to be confirmed for the TTC Network. Coming on the heels of the announcement back in April 2018 that tataUFO, with it's 11 million subscribers was also going to be part of the TTC network, bringing the total to over 20 million subscribers at the reach of the TTC Network already!
A move like the ALIVE purchase puts the market on notice, TTC is here and they mean business! Establishing a strong network of users and distributed applications will be the surefire way they move to corner the market. They are entering a marketplace where steem has long been the main name for Crypto incentivized Social content, though that project hasn't really been able to catch on outside of blockchain. TTC, on the other hand, has a newly acquired user base, that gives them inroads into an entire marketplace eager for this type of project, and will be coming in running with a userbase over 20 times larger than that of steem. Not to mention partnerships popping up from elsewhere in the industry like the recent partnership of the Decent Platform to work on the git.eco project from TTC. The team is not wasting any time in making a splash in the blockchain and Social Media marketplaces.
With a large kickoff of an excited base of users, joining the platform the idea of so many ways that TTC will interact on a financial level will most likely be the driving factor that grows their reach from 22+ million active users (10 million from ALIVE, and 12 million from tataUFO) to a an even larger number once they get a taste of the value the acquisition creates. The TTC platform's unique approach to rewarding the users regardless of how they participate will be a driving force forward. All of those users already jumping onto the TTC Platform, and the network is still young, I predict more announcements and more networks joining the TTC Platform as their selection for Blockchain Incentivized dAPP integrations.
From traditional advertising-based rewards that will go directly to the users who view and interact with advertisers instead to middlemen. To rewarding both general content creators who craft high-quality social media whether it be commenting, liking sharing or reporting on the platform which all funnels into longterm reputation-based rewards for those users who persistently help to improve the platform as a while.
The team's huge push has been all over the team's Twitter and Medium, not to mention their great Facebook group and there website that continue to be active ways to both interact and monitor the team as they grow quickly. It's a lot to keep on top of with so many
With big expansions coming so early in the project, followed by more partnerships this project seems to be one that I feel still has remained under the radar, but is quickly growing to be a powerhouse. With expactations to grow the network to nearly 100 Million users throughout the 2018 year.
