- Fountain now allows its users to earn bitcoin while listening to their favorite podcasts.
- Users of the platform can also get paid to support their favorite creators and listen to ads.
- Fountain users have access to a unique set of features not typically found on platforms built for content consumption.
Fountain, a podcast streaming app with unique features to support content creators, is now allowing listeners to earn bitcoin while listening to their favorite podcasts, according to a press release sent to Bitcoin Magazine.
“The time and attention we devote to tech platforms is incredibly valuable. Every minute you spend consuming content, creating content, or watching ads adds value to the platform you use,” Fountain CEO Oscar Merry said in the press release.
“Most of the free apps we use every day don’t recognize or reward this – but Fountain is different. It’s the only podcast app that rewards both listeners and podcasters for the value they bring to the platform,” Merry continued.

Fountain platform users can not only listen to their favorite podcasts, but also clip and share their favorite moments with their friends. Additionally, Fountain offers its users a way to actually make money by sharing these clips.
Also, users can “promote” a comment by paying to have a particular comment viewed by the creators. Additionally, users can stream funds directly to the podcast’s content creator. Additionally, Fountain Promotions allows users to get paid for listening to ads, creating a unique experience outside of the norm of consuming content.

“The Fountain team is pioneering a new category, Listen to Earn, which allows anyone in the world with an internet connection to earn money listening to their favorite podcasts,” said Anthony “Pomp” Pompliano, a Fountain investor and well-known entrepreneur in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
“Instead of creating a worthless native token that individual users can use to pay, Fountain intelligently chose to use bitcoin, a global digital currency that has been shown to hold purchasing power more effectively over long periods of time than any fiat currency,” Pomp explained further.
