THE TWO WESTERN REPUBLICS

Bill Ottman is the co-creator and CEO of Minds , a free and open source social network with crypto rewards. They continue to make waves as an alternative to the incumbent social network business model of surveillance capitalism. Bill has also been a guest on the Joe Rogan podcast . Today, he kindly took the time to answer some questions for Hacker Noon. Hey Bill, what’s the best thing you read on the internet today? That would clearly have to be the breaking of ‘boneless chicken wings’... expose Minds came up with a Jury System for content moderation , where 12 users vote on specific cases of content moderation. How is the system coming along? Would you like to share any numbers around pieces of content moderated, users banned or outcome percentages? Disclosure: I’ve used Minds for about a year and to my knowledge have yet to be summoned for digital jury duty. It’s working beautifully for the appeals process. In the last 30 days 5,566 actions have been taken by Minds, there have been 13 appeals, and 1 action overturned. Not bad! In the future we may bring the jury to the initial decision and other types of decentralized governance. Why did you choose the Manila Principles for your users’ Bill of Rights ? Where has the implementation worked well and not so well? The Manila Principles are really a general compass, but it isn’t dogma to us. We reference them because they are a powerful document drafted by hundreds of leading digital rights groups including EFF. They are a set of standards that cannot be lost down the memory hole. That being said, things like bots, spam, threats of violence and other harmful activity isn’t always going to have a court order and we do believe there are certain cases that require action without a court order to protect the network. We firmly align our content policy with the first amendment and simultaneously call out malicious activity when it is obvious. You recently built a tool to migrate Youtube videos to native Minds video hosting. We started using it on the Hacker Noon Minds channel :-) Video hosting is inherently expensive when compared to text or even image hosting. How did you technically and financially structure it so that the site growth from videos would outweigh the additional hosting expenses? This is one of those issues that we are simply biting the bullet on because native video is so essential. We may actually have to limit the migrator to only accounts because of this issue, but it has been amazing for making account maintenance easier for big creators. premium What is the skillset breakdown of your team? And what IQ/EQ/expertise/life-experiences do value in potential hires? About half our team are badass fullstack developers well versed in Angular, React Native, Node, PHP, web3, Cassandra (nosql) and the rest of our . architecture The other half are highly competent in support, product design, viral marketing, management and network theory. It’s all about intuition and being able to deliver super clean products without a babysitter. We want to be students of our employees. How does your team decide what functionality to build next? I would say we consider the following: Top community requests Revenue generating features for BOTH creators and the company Highest impact, lowest effort What brings us closer to our core principles of transparency, privacy, decentralization and monetization Much of the path is already laid out looking at the top social media apps in the world. We have a unique social network with the monetization, decentralization and crypto components, but society to a degree has reached a consensus on key features. Our challenge is building them with ethics and in a fully open source manner. It takes longer... Is there any feature or functionality or process that a first time visitor may not even notice, but has been monumental for growing Minds? Definitely Boost. You can earn tokens for receiving engagement and then use tokens to get more reach. 1 token = 1,000 views. It gives Minds higher value than big tech apps to many creators. https://minds.com/boost Overall, what primary metrics do you use to measure the progress of your business? Certainly growth of key indicators like active users and revenue which we need to build a sustainable business, but definitely also team happiness, productivity, stability of products and proximity to fulfilling the core principles. The more we can engineer ourselves out of the process the better, putting the community in charge. In an average work week, what do you spend time doing? I balance between doing podcasts and interviews with product calls, roadmap, networking, board strategy, using the app myself (I end up doing QA lol), pushups, walks. Always listening to podcasts and interviews and tuning in to what’s happening on this planet. Do you think Twitter’s recent decision to break out “retweet” into “retweet” and “tweet quote” is a good, bad, or meaningless product decision? Meh. Until twitter open sources their code they aren’t in the conversation ;) Do you think Facebook’s acquisition of Instagram was legal? And how different do you think the social media landscape is today if that deal never occurred? Haven’t investigated that specific accusation, but I definitely think the world is in a trance loving instagram. Most people don’t even know facebook owns them. It is a beautifully designed app but has poisonous tentacles throughout... Should Facebook be running political ads? And for the good of the world, if you ran their fact checking strategy on political ads, what would you do differently? I don’t have an issue with political ads necessarily. Social media itself is propaganda of sorts, but I do think they are doing fact-checking backwards. We are currently working hard on this issue and bringing in a decentralized reputation system for both users and content where the community can build a web of trust in different categories. Rather than hiring a subjective team of ‘fact-checkers’ why not empower the whole community to provide citations, vote and show both sides of the debate. Most controversial issues aren’t clear cut and transparent representation of the debate and data would be way more useful than telling people what to think. Certain issues certain are clearly true or false and in those cases the contextual data layer on content/users would clearly show that. Does it matter who owns TikTok ? I think it matters who owns the apps we use and how they use our data regardless of locale. You’ve been an outspoken critic against some of Google’s business practices. Do you think that helps, hurts or has no effect on how Minds indexes on Google search results? I don’t want to speculate about the impact of my public statements but we are 100% being throttled and have evidence. How does the Minds newsfeed decide what content appears next in the feed?  What user behaviours most determine moving content into or out of your newsfeed? Easy. Reverse chronological with a boosted post showing about every 12-15 posts. We will never mess with this and you will always be able to see all the posts from people you subscribe to. The abandonment of clean algos is the suicide of mainstream social media apps. They are all doing it. It isn’t that we are against algos for alternative feeds, but we believe the core feed should be unrestricted. Can you break down the licensing strategy to the software and IP created by Minds Inc.? Everything is free software under AGPLv3 right now. We will forever and always be 100% FOSS. To us, an app is not respecting their users freedom without being fully free and open source. Why did you choose to host your open source software on GitLab over GitHub or anywhere else? Gitlab is open source! They align closer with our principles not to mention it is a better product. We do all of our project management and roadmapping there as well. We still mirror to github but I don’t really understand why so many open source projects use github when it isn’t open source itself. Should the government intervene to make more software open source? That’s a great question. The FSF would probably say yes. Ideally you wouldn’t have to legislate people to respect others’ freedom and would hope public pressure would push companies to do this voluntarily. The open source trend is on fire for many reasons, even economic. About a year ago, you started Change Minds , a “Deradicalization Initiative about encouraging the world to get talking, to find common ground, and to speak civilly to those with whom we may disagree to build a stronger world, together .” It’s very hard to change minds. People so often crave affirmation that what they believe is true. What have been the highlights of progress and/or key learnings from this program so far? It certainly is hard to change minds. It can take many years and we don’t approach it with the expectation of it happening every time. As Daryl Davis, the leader of the project would say, ‘if we’re talking we’re not fighting’. But if you limit speech, you are in a sense forcing fighting to begin. We have also recently teamed up with Parallel Networks who works with Daryl as well to provide open channels of communication to anyone on Minds whether radical or not to just talk. Mental health on social media is key and ultimately we believe the more we communicate, the more peaceful the world will become. Check out this recent from Nature showing how the FB censorship makes extremism worse. study If you could permanently change one thing about how the internet works, what would it be? There are way too many people without the internet, which is mindblowing when you think about it because we sit on it all day. The internet is the greatest force for education the world has ever known. It is possibly the primary tool of our current evolution. We need to push the infrastructure towards something radically more inclusive, incentivized, transparent, secure, decentralized and affordable. Does that count as one thing? Connect with .

"The Abandonment of Clean Algos is the Suicide of Mainstream Social Media" - Minds CEO Bill Ottman 

Technology has revolutionized trading for individual investors in the early part of this century, from online trading tools to robo-advisors, to the rise of crypto and fintech applications. At the same time, trading venues have become more complex, order routing and commission agreements more opaque and executions more instantaneous — literally measurable in microseconds. For trading application developers, it is like an arms race just to try to keep up. Nonetheless, these technology advancements have provided retail traders with better market access than ever before, both in terms of real-time quotations and trade data as well as efficient trade execution. The standards for investing applications have gone up significantly, and investors using an app to do their trades now expect a clean, simple interface, effective and elegant execution alternatives, even cryptocurrency options. With trading commissions now at zero or close to it industry wide, trading is more appealing than ever to individual investors. Investors Pouring In This can be seen by the record number of new investors signing up since commissions fell to zero on the major e-brokerage platforms. One of the industry’s biggest players, TD Ameritrade, Other big players like Schwab, Fidelity and eTrade experienced similar gains. gained over 600,000 new accounts during the first quarter of 2020 alone. All of these firms share common characteristics: strong brands built through decades of retail advertising, and trading applications built atop legacy technology, some of which dates back to the 20th century. But the truth is that the historic bull market we all lived through did not inspire much genuine innovation in trading applications, just incremental improvements. Retail traders still trade mostly based on gut-feel, untested strategies, and tips. Recent market volatility and rapid price fluctuations have proven difficult for them, causing many missed opportunities and panicked market exits at the worst possible time. Millions of new online brokerage clients will likewise be slow-moving and ignorant of the kind of trading strategies that can be used to profit from market volatility, leaving them as easy targets for high-frequency traders and arbitragers. Automating Alpha Indeed, today’s retail investors still lack a crucial set of functionalities that keeps the playing field tilted in favor of institutional traders, which is the ability to make faster, analysis-driven decisions in dynamic market conditions that are backtested and strategy-based. For institutions, this plays out in the form of algorithms that are able to identify trade opportunities and be able to execute such trades without manual intervention. Few day trading apps are designed to compete with quants or prop shops. We shouldn’t expect individual investors to , as Ken Griffin famously has done at Citadel today. spin up an entire technology stack in a Florida mansion estate But the broader concept stands: these professional players are able to research, analyze and capture alpha because they rely upon automation that is precisely aligned with their view on a given instrument, market or counterparty. In short, they , and spend their day mining for value instead. use algorithms to get trades done The next wave of applications should do the same for the individual investor. OK, Boomer Today’s Millennial and Gen-X traders are considerably more sophisticated than their counterparts of years past. Apart from more closely aligning trading goals with execution, algos also encourage curiosity. This second element is crucial because frankly, today’s trading apps lack inspiration ( ). and sometimes, availability The tools required to properly research an idea, to visualize it and then backtest it simply aren’t there. Some online brokerage apps claim, for instance, that their education hub will “grow with you,” surfacing new ideas as you go. But without a set of pre-established algorithms to deploy, that growth will be limited. The joy of an algo-driven trading program lies not just in its ability to learn on the fly to protect your trades. There is also an elegance involved when working with algos, tweaking them this way or that and figuring them out. They make for better trades, but also better traders. Opening Up the Crypt(o) Whether you’re an agnostic, evangelist or skeptic, there is no denying that in the future of investing—going far beyond simple stores of value to pairs trading and, still higher up, complicated fund . cryptocurrencies will have a significant role portfolio management and rebalancing Market events, like the , are likewise tricky to trade and rife with speculation. highly-anticipated Bitcoin halving countdown later this month For as much attention as crypto has gotten, they can be harnessed far better by an algo than by a trader trying to keep an eye on the many different trading venues simultaneously, some of which get extremely illiquid when large orders hit. This will be particularly true as more “traditional” markets begin introducing regulated fund and derivative instruments on cryptocurrencies. Ironically, the more mainstream cryptocurrencies become, the more complex the trading around them is likely to get. Algorithms will likely be the only way for individual investors to bridge that gap. Chop, Chop Finally, a note about the current market: algos are readymade for volatility. It is unfortunate and tragic that the pandemic was the so-called “Black Swan” event that jolted investors out of their somnambulance after more than a decade of steadily rising market values. Of course, we all realized that some sort of market correction was inevitable, but few of us were ready for it when it hit. And as the new brokerage account numbers prove, many investors — particularly younger investors — have waited for this type of moment. How do they navigate this interregnum, with so much uncertainty still in play? The answer is clearly to have the right trading tools at their disposal. There will be a lot of feeling around in the dark during this period; it is the nature of volatility that some ideas will prove to be wrong. So trading apps need to be up to the task of exposing investors to pricing and market data that is relevant, present it in a way that is actionable, and with strategies at hand — algos — to animate sound decision-making. From the Ground Up Until recently an investor needed to be a coder and understand a lot of complicated math to be able to even design the simplest of algorithms. Even with the requisite coding skills, the cost and effort required to set up a functioning system to algo trade are such high barriers that they keep most investors away. Only Streak ( : ), which launches in the United States next week, removes these hurdles and enables investors to create, backtest and deploy their trading ideas and strategies without having to write a single line of code, or to worry about any of the complexity underlying the algorithms it uses. Disclaimer The author is the CTO at Streak Algorithmic trading brings lots of advantages. Part of it is the automation — being able to do a trade without checking over and over throughout the day if a limit up or down has been met, for instance — but it is also about sophistication. Many traders today are using trading techniques like mean reversion, momentum indicators, volume weighted average price (VWAP), and price action. Currently they need to switch back and forth between trading screens and spreadsheets. And in the time it takes to do this manually, the market often moves away. Built from the ground up rather than resting on a legacy trading platform, Streak offers the unique ability to take trading ideas from charts and backtest them immediately to estimate the validity of the strategy in less than a minute. It also enables traders to deploy their algos in the market using AI and machine learning so that they don’t have to worry about sitting and staring at their spreadsheets and their screens all day long. Traders can just set their strategies and walk away. With the recent spike in market volatility, the democratization of investing is more crucial than ever. And with over 300,000 retail users who have completed more than 27M backtests and generated over $700M in traded value, the Streak platform is on a winning streak all its own.
