Context: TruStory, The Debate Catalyst
TruStory set out with a noble cause: fostering productive, open-minded discourse on the internet. We believed in the power of the crowd to unravel the truth in contentious debates, and as our first test subject, we tackled the manifold issues surrounding Ethereum - its scaling, culture, roadmap, and fundraising.
The Team: A Collective Quest for Truth
Our expedition was led by an eclectic team:
-
Daniel Kuh - UI/UX, Animation, Video, Graphic Design, Branding
-
Amir Latif - Developer
-
Ted Piotrowski - Developer
-
Shane Vitarana - Lead Developer
The Twist: Encountering Subjective Waters
Post-launch, our ship sailed into unexpected waters. Instead of concrete claims, we found users engaging in debates where no clear 'right or wrong' existed. This intrigued us - perhaps our platform's true potential lay in hosting discussions around major unanswered questions and ideas, rather than definitive claims.
The Transformation: From Debate to Investment
Our realization birthed a new ambition for TruStory. It evolved from a mere debate platform to a unique space where users could discuss issues and invest their TRU (our cryptocurrency) into conversations they resonated with. Essentially, we were turning debates into a form of intellectual investment.
The Outcome: A Platform for the Open-Minded
Despite the unexpected twists and turns, our team was successful in creating a platform that not only encourages healthy debates but also lets users support discussions with their TRU. TruStory, today, stands as a testament to the power of open-minded discourse and the potential of integrating it with crypto investment.
