MAIA-X: Connecting Artists With The Blockchain

WEBSITE & BETA DOWNLOAD

[New York- October 2019] Inventor and Blockchain expert, Juan Bernardo Tobar, has developed the first-ever mobile app that allows users to paste smart contracts into a mobile chat conversation: MAIA-X.

Launching via Tobar's ADOM Inc, in October 2019, MAIA-X is a chat application and crypto wallet. It contains the usual chat features - one-on-one secure chat, group chat, as well as a useful tool to build a following via a feed (similar to WhatsApp Broadcast List or Telegram Channels).

"With all the excitement surrounding blockchain and token economies (tokenization) – there is a unique angle and market which receives minimal coverage—helping independent music artists unlock new financing opportunities, without having to sacrifice their ownership rights and contract rights, including control of future royalties to intermediaries and recording companies."-FORBES

What differentiates MAIA-X from all other chat apps is that it features the ability to "paste" smart-contracts into the chat. Unique to MAIA-X from all other smart-contract and blockchain apps, is it's chat-app functionality which enables any downloader to begin using the app and smart contract capabilities without any blockchain knowledge, and without leaving the chat window.

Smart-contracts are the technology that allows decentralized trust-less fundraising and "tokenization." Tobar cites this specific function as particularly useful to artists and music industry professionals:
"We've watched as artists have struggled to fund projects in the new age of the music industry. The technology to lower the barriers of entry and to monetize one's talent is now here. MAIA-X creates a new hope for emerging artists who have been discouraged due to the lack of return on their creative projects. As we saw with DJ / producer Gramatik in 2017, he enlisted revolutionary technology to deploy his very own GRMTK token. This token created a direct artist to fan relationship that had not been seen before. Having raised $2,000,000 within 24-hours of launch, the GRMTK token has now grown to an entertainment economy worth over $9,000,000. This allows Gramatik the freedom to not only fund his projects, but also creates a direct fan-to-artist connection essentially cutting out intermediaries. MAIA-X allows artists to transform themselves into financially-savvy entrepreneurs."-Juan Bernardo Tobar


This is a revolutionary tool for an ever-changing music industry attempting to recapture the income streams of previous decades prior to the digital revolution. Using MAIA-X allows artists to directly engage with their fans like never before. Elevating the function of information platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and email, MAIA-X also creates a place for artists to fundraise projects, sell-tickets and merchandise, engage fans in contesting / sweepstakes, and more- all via the platform.

For little to no cost, artists can launch their very own tokens via MAIA-X right on the "Feed" with their users. Users can "Like" the post, "Share," and even give the post a monetary tip. All without leaving the chat window, fans can donate to their favorite artists, fund their next album, acquire 'Super Fan' tokens, or simply buy tickets for their next show.

In conjunction with the MAIA-X mobile app, is the release of another ground-breaking invention - the MAIA Blockchain card. A programmable physical card that can replace bank cards, identity card, and entrance / ticket passes. The Blockchain card works right out of the box by scanning it with the MAIA-X mobile app. Much like cashless top-up bracelets many venues and festivals have made mandatory for their concert attendees to save the venue on 3-7% credit card usage fees, the MAIA Blockchain card allows users to control balances directly from their MAIA-X app. Users can "top-up" their balance during the event, or take their remaining balance off, with ease. All without having to wait in lines or pay "refund handling fees" that amount to $5 or more.

Tobar is bringing his technology and blockchain expertise as a service he calls "The Blockchain Edge." He will consult with businesses, artists, and anyone who wishes to elevate their business with blockchain innovation. This unique service allows any business - no matter how small - to benefit from blockchain technology and to begin informing themselves as to how blockchain and smart-contracts can transform their business. It creates the opportunity for anyone with a smartphone to tokenize their future earnings and fully harness the unlimited potential of blockchain technology.

28 Daily Thoughts of College Students

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

Christmas tree

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
