E39 - Haste Arcade & Crypto Micropayments With Joe De Pinto

Imagine playing an arcade style game like Tetris and getting paid in cryptocurrency for being a top scorer after only paying a penny to play and with the potential of even winning tokens for participation. Well, this isn’t part of a potential future - it’s already happening today by leveraging blockchain and micropayments. My guest on this episode, Joe De Pinto, is a former professional baseball player and Co-Founder of both Bar Pay and Haste Arcade - two enterprises which have led Joe and his fellow Co-Founder, Dan Wagner, to blockchain and cryptocurrency due to its low transaction fees and micropayment abilities. On this episode, we dive into both Bar Pay and Haste Arcade and discuss how blockchain backed micropayments could shift our subscription based and ad revenue models to a micropayment and consumer led landscape. Using Haste Arcade as a successful case study of micropayments in what Joe refers to as a play and earn game;This episode has left me wondering how long it will take other game and content creators to experiment with and eventually adopt similar systems?
