http://LBRY.io - LBRY CEO Jeremy Kauffman answers community questions in an ongoing "Video AMA" (Ask Me Anything!) series. Got a question for us? Leave it in the comments below or use #LBRYAMA on Facebook or Twitter! === To read more of Jeremy's thoughts in regards to speculating on the price of LBRY Credits, check out his recent blog post on the topic: https://lbry.io/news/acryptypical LBRY Credits, or LBC, are the unit of account for LBRY. A LBRY Credit is somewhat similar to a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, but it is better classified as an "appcoin" -- a cryptocurrency that is designed specifically to power an application, with only that application’s precise functions in mind. The purpose of this appcoin is not to compete as a better form of money than Bitcoin, but to function as a special purpose tool in ways Bitcoin cannot. We believe our appcoin is the best tool to succeed at our mission of putting every film, song, book, and game ever made onto a blockchain – without trying to displace Bitcoin as a global currency. One of our key goals is for LBRY/LBC to be easy to access for everyday people. Initially, users will get some just for downloading the app. And anyone will always be able to earn LBC by offering some of their disk space to store encrypted file slices for the LBRY network. Because it won't involve linking bank accounts to exchanges or even converting any of their precious fiat money, we hope LBC will serve as an easy entry point for John Q. Public into the world of cryptocurrency. They might not even realize at first that's what they're using! === What *is* LBRY?

LBRY facilitates a similar experience to services like YouTube, Netflix, and Apple TV... but LBRY is entirely decentralized! Services like YouTube are centralized platforms controlled by a single corporate entity. These companies can change the rules unilaterally, as well as censor content to appease author
