Reddit’s Alexis Ohanian addresses Ethereum rumors

Reddit co-founder and executive chairman Alexis Ohanian addressed rumors that the platform adopts a new community points system that uses Ethereum-based tokens.

During an interview with Anthony Pompliano, Ohanian said that Reddit has been interested in crypto for a while.

“The company had had some forays into crypto, and some of Twitter people had remarked on this when I came back in ‘14 as executive chair… There were some forays into it, but it was mostly still research. We had much more pressing things to handle at that point,” he said.

Buying special membership on Reddit

It’s been revealed that the new community system will give users the chance to buy special memberships using decentralized community points stored on the Ethereum blockchain.

“If we know [Reddit Karma] works, where you don’t have any ownership whatsoever, it reasons to be that if you allow for a kind of ownership and a kind of decentralization to it, people would do it even more,” Ohanian continued.

He also made sure to highlight the fact that the long-term value of Reddit comes from its community, it does not come from ads.

Ohanian also said that the benefits would come from giving a more rewarding experience to Reddit users.
