Thanks for sharing. I believe this will resonate with many of us, and in all honesty, it it does much more to me than the audio comments.
Now you said it loud and clear, this is a new market and client onboarding will take time.
Please bear with me in this consumer journey: To me as a tech enthusiast but not expert, I’m dying to get into NFTs. I heard about it, I’m interested in it and even researched podcasts to learn more about it. And yet, I still don’t have a wallet, still haven’t bought ethereum, and haven’t mined an NFT, because the BARRIERS OF ENTRY ARE STILL TOO COMPLICATED TO ME.
If uncut.fm can offer me this possibility to seamlessly acquire all the above through my personal account - from a basic step by step tutorial to a fully integrated wallet - it would not only be a strong USP for many listeners, but also provide an incredibly strong retention rate, IMHO.
Lastly, I did like the name yet as a marketer and with this pivot, I’m afraid the new direction of « cutting » moments » to turn them into NFTs and uncut.fm might require a new name.
I don’t have the answer but I’m sure you will.
Keep up the good work, and very excited to try on the MVP !
Thanks for your feedback, Martin! Yes, our mission is to make Web3 more approachable to podcasters and listeners and we are working hard to build a product that allows them to easily enter this new world of shared ownership. There is so much to invent and you are right, the UI/UX of Web3 is so far terrible. Building a wallet is not easy, buying ETH or NFTs may seem daunting and gas fees... It's the early days and it will take time to get there. The early adopters will lead the way and we want to move forward hand in hand with them. Together we will create new use cases and simplify the approach.
As far as the name goes, Uncut refers more to the relationship with your audience than dividing your episode into moments. We want to create a new business model and a new relationship between the creator and the audience that cuts out the middleman, hence Uncut ;-) It's not your content that is cut, it's you who is Uncut.
Inspiring and honest speech. Great things take time to build. It's actually quite rare (if not impossible) to be right the first time on everything (the initial idea, the early execution and the scale up strategy). I find it always frustrating to be inundated by daily newsletters with nothing but big fundraises, exits, announcements... like everything was going at light speed and according to the plan. The reality is often different :) :D
These are just the tip of the iceberg, the headlines... the rest of us are digging under the surface, but one day it pays off and you have your moment of glory. It lasts a few days and then you go back down into the mine.
Bonne année 2022 Carlos et toute la team!

Good to hear re the product and thanks for clarifying re the name, I had gotten that one wrong I the first place!
