Relying on third party services for something as critical and personal as email, photos or videos is dangerous.<br />
<br />
Companies can be hacked, bankruptcies can happen and users are left at the mercy of a few unkwnon power-brokers.<br />
<br />
For the artists that make amazing videos, games, music and other copyrighted content, giving up a large percentage of your revenue can be very discouraging. Plus content creators usually become locked-in to those centralized platforms with the overhanging danger of arbitraty rule changes cutting their revenues.<br />
<br />
Phantasma brings a decentralized content distribution system running on the blockchain, with strong emphasis on privacy and security.
