BitClout is one of the latest viral social media sites that has popped up in 2021. However, BitClout is unlike any other social media site, meaning it is developed on blockchain technology. Users and content creators also have the ability to earn lots of money using Bitclout. Read on to know more about what is Bitclout and how it functions. 

What is BitClout?

Essentially, BitClout is a social media platform where users can buy 'creator coins' or 'tokens' that are tied to certain celebrities, which can either be local or international. As fans of these celebrities buy their tokens, the value of these tokens rises up in price and falls as people sell off tokens. As per the BitClout website, the purpose of this project is to allow everyone to monetise their online presence and become a valuable influencer on the internet. So for instance, if there is a certain musician you like very much, you can support them by buying their coin or token. Eventually, as the price of the token multiplies, you can reap rewards by selling off the tokens and making a decent profit.
