Volareo: a Streaming Speaker That Pays Musicians When Listeners Clap

The world's first blockchain music speaker is here. From the creators of Travis the Translator and Travis Blue wireless speaker, comes a different sort of music smart speaker. Volareo is another Dutch innovation that made its worldwide debut at SXSW 2018 in Austin, Texas and is directly connected with the new Musicoin, a new cryptocurrency and music streaming platform that intends to reward musicians in a different way.

What Happened at CES 2018? A lot, quite a lot. More than you think! With 170,000 or 270,000 visitors (depends how you count), CES must be one of the very few shows where the promoters actually try to play down the numbers regarding visitors, also because in practice, no one really knows. There are so many suites and hotels extending the activities of CES throughout the week, that it becomes hard to understand where it starts and where it ends.
