Crypto Banter, the world’s first crypto news live streaming platform, has gone live prior to the 2021 bull market. For a long time, the global crypto market lacked a media outlet that never sleeps but continuously caters to the rapidly growing crypto enthusiasts’ needs.
CNBC’s Crypto Trader show host Ran Neuner has now decided to unveil the first call-in media channel, which is cryptocurrency-centric. The station – dubbed Crypto Banter – features exclusively various cryptocurrency news, opinions, interviews, and live discussions with various industry leaders. Viewers and listeners can download the Crypto Banter app so as to stream via youtube the interactive social-cast for the crypto community.
Banter Brings the Banter to Crypto Community
Available 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, the world’s first crypto-based streaming platform offers viewers Crypto Twitter‘s alternative source for ‘credible, live information.’
“Banter is designed to bring the banter from Crypto Twitter and Telegram to a credible, moderated AV medium. It is designed to filter out the noise and bring information that people can trade on to a live streaming medium,” said Neuner.
YouTube, host of many crypto-related channels, will accommodate Crypto Banter, making the new channel to reach its fast-moving global crypto-focused market. In summary, the new service would be described as a mix between talk radio CNBC and the Joe Rogan Experience. Personal views and insights about the prevailing cryptocurrency environment are usually sought from interview guests.
Interestingly, Andrew Thurman, Cointelegraph weekend editor, became the first Crypto Banter guest of Neuner. Since he first launched Crypto Trader on CNBC in 2017, Neuner has been offering cryptocurrency and blockchain educative material to the public.
Being the host and executive producer of the world’s first televised cryptocurrency show, Neuner moderated various hot debates, including the one that featured Bitcoin (BTC) naysayer Peter Schiff and Anthony Pompliano in 2019. During that time of the debate, Bitcoin traded below the $10,000 mark. However, the pioneer cryptocurrency had last week clocked in at over $18,800, a 420% gain since Schiff accidentally referred the bottom back – aka a “maximum opportunity” to profit – in March.
Over the past month, Bitcoin has enormously outperformed gold with an increasingly conspicuous divergence. Now it continues to climb, even challenging its all-time highs witnessed in 2017. Corporate demand from the likes of investment giant Grayscale, Square and PayPal have firmly favored Bitcoin’s further upside trend.
Focus Is on Consumer Interest in Cryptocurrencies
Crypto Banter intends to bank on growing consumer interest in digital assets even though the cryptocurrency adoption pendulum is thought to have swung from retail to institutional investors.
Neuner explained that Bitcoin’s great adoption is taking place, merely a hedge against USD printing and as a store of value. However, in his opinion, the real Blockchain adoption hasn’t yet started and would likely emerge over the next few years.
The Crypto Trader host therefore concluded:
“For now there will be a ton of speculation on investments in this space. Money will be made and lost in minutes and up-to-the-minute info is key. Today there is no live streaming. […] CryptoBanter looks to fill this gap!”
Being a sought after speaker at various Blockchain and Crypto Currency conferences, Neuner has been ranked by Richtopia as one of the top 10 most influential people in the blockchain world.
