Hanging Out with Dmitriy Fabrikant to Talk Tree Chat and Bitcoin Magic
Hey there, it’s Gavin Mehl, and I’m pumped to share my latest video where I got to chat with Dmitriy Fabrikant, the brain behind Tree Chat. This guy’s story is wild, and the platform he’s building is honestly next-level. I start by getting to know Dmitriy’s roots, growing up in Moscow’s big concrete apartment blocks and spending summers on a farm in Siberia. He moved to America at eight, right when the Soviet Union fell apart, and that experience shaped his hustle. His parents left everything behind for a better shot at life, and you can hear the grit in his voice when he talks about it.
We then dive into why Dmitriy’s so passionate about American values like free speech and how that fuels Tree Chat. It’s a social platform where you can say what you want (as long as it’s legal and not porn) and post directly on the blockchain. Yep, every post is stored on-chain, and Dmitriy even showed me how you can check it out via a block explorer. The coolest part? You can earn tiny bits of Bitcoin when people “upvalue” your posts, kind of like a like but with actual money. It creates this awesome community economy where ideas get ranked by value.
Dmitriy also walked me through Tree Chat’s AI tools, which let you whip up images, videos, and even songs right in the chat. You can mint these as NFTs and trade them on the spot. We talked about fun stuff like raffles, where users send Bitcoin to enter, and the platform’s big plans, like escrow accounts or even real estate deals down the line. It’s all about making a social network that works for users, not advertisers, and I’m stoked to be posting on there myself. Just a quick note: this video’s for fun, so don’t take it as legal or financial advice—reach out to a pro for that. Check out the full video here:
