Open Source (some decentralized) Social Media and Video Sharing Platforms – The goal is to have a trusted open source social media and video hosting platforms that ideally pays/revenue shares with creators in crypto with good governance, treasury and is decentralized so that it can’t be taken down by any organized crime governments. If the platform is enforcing DMCA and can censor content ad-hoc then we don’t consider it “decentralized”, but we would accept community standards (no child pornography, snuff films, etc.) enforced by random assignment to a community jury in a transparent process.

Anonymous Digital Cash Projects
Unlike Bitcoin whose transactions are visible on a public blockchain, anonymous digital cash refers to crypto-currency projects that use a variety of technologies to obfuscate the origins, amounts and destinations of all transactions while maintaining the decentralized nature that prevents take-downs and the verifiability of transactions that prevents double spending, counterfeiting, and inflation.
