About Dtube (https://token.d.tube)
“Dtube or also known as Decentralized Tube is an up and coming competitor to Vimeo and holds serious potential as a Vimeo alternative. Dtube operates on blockchain rather than on a central server, unlike Vimeo, which essentially means that the files you upload on DTube are very safe.

Dtube has figured out a new way to pay its creators and is not via ads but through cryptocurrency. Dtube has its own currency called DTube Coin ($DTC). The way the cryptocurrency works is that the users upvote the videos, the more the videos which get upvotes, the higher will be the DTube Coin and that amount is paid to the creator.”— On geekymint
