Delivering unstoppable data with Streamr (Ep. 154)

Delivering unstoppable data to unstoppable apps is now possible with Streamr Network
Streamr is a layer zero protocol for real-time data which powers the decentralized Streamr pub/sub network. The technology works in tandem with companion blockchains - currently Ethereum and xDai chain - which are used for identity, security and payments. On top is the application layer, including the Data Union framework, Marketplace and Core, and all third party applications. 
In this episode I have a very interesting conversation with Streamr founder and CEO Henri Pihkala
