Undoubtedly focused on Bitcoin. The music industry is rotten with parasites that feed from the creative energy of artists. And that needs to stop. I’m on a mission to build Bitcoin tools for musicians and artists. Artists need Bitcoin. They just don’t know it yet. Adoption not only means people buying Bitcoin. It also means every app using Bitcoin in some way or another. Keep building.

PSA 🚨 Looking to do some freelance work in the Bitcoin ecosystem/industry. I have experience in Video & Audio editing, content creation + multiplication, funnel design, copywriting, Business Dev, Partnerships + Sponsorships, Social Media Management, Marketing, and AI + automation. I’m a music producer by trade and know my way around graphic design, video editing, etc. I’m a very creative person. Looking to advance Bitcoin adoption and education as well. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated. If you read this and want to help, please repost so more people get to see it ❤️ p.s. @ODELL can you help amplifying this? 🥹 #asknostr

Spotify is a large tumor in the music industry. That’s just facts. Artists need micro-transactions over the internet with hard money. Artists need Bitcoin more than they know they do. We need to stop begging Spotify for fraction of a penny. I’ll think of something. The music industry is broken.

It’s crazy to see the amount of boomers advising against self custody at the Bitcoin Conference. Fuck you! Now having shitcoiners on stage talking about “Crypto Ecosystem” It should rebrand to Shitcoin2025

Say what you want, but offline ecash payments seem like the best alternative for internet and power outages. I know we can use satellites, radio, mesh networks, and even send a PSBT to a friend with an online node. But the average joe will probably benefit from just having a small balance for 15-30 spend. Also, speed wise, is you need to buy food or gas, ecash is probably faster than sending a USB with a PSBT to a friend in another city. What do you all think?

This is one of my favorite remixes ever! s/o to Bronze Whale and Sofa Sound for letting me put my spin on it. It’s out now everywhere ⚡️ Go stream it. Zapping everyone who comments and reposts 👀 #musicproducer #futurebass #electronicmusic #musicproduction #v4v

Artists are lowering the quality of their music in order to increase volume in a world where apps and algorithms reward volume and not quality. Artist are broke. Being forced to spend 95% of the year traveling alone, performing, little sleep and bad diet in order to make a living from their craft. They are living the dream… or so they say. Most are anxious, stressed and depressed. Being pressured by labels and managers to create more music, more content, go viral, engage with their fans, build and email list, take more flights, more lonely nights at hotels, etc etc etc. The music industry is slowly making their artists sick. The same artists that create the art they sell and keep 85% of the value. The industry is fucked. And Bitcoin is the ONLY solution. Artists need Bitcoin. And they need it now.

Working on getting more artists on Nostr. @npub1yfg0...v6vg is always first 🫡

A Before & After look at ‘Sinking’ I started this demo back in 2018, and now it has over 3M streams on Apple Music. WILD!! 🤯 Thanks to everyone who’s streamed this one. Your support makes all of this possible. If you haven’t heard ‘Sinking’, check out the link in my bio. Zapping everyone who comments 👀

Onboarding more musicians to Nostr is my favorite hobby. One creator at a time.

Musicians, artists and the whole creator economy need Bitcoin. They just don’t know it yet. We need more content and conversations for creators. ⚡️

Welcome to Nostr everyone! 🫡 Comment below if you’ve never been zapped! #zapathon #introductions

Musicians need Nostr and Bitcoin They just don’t know it yet

@verbiricha I’m having some issues publishing on @npub1048q...x3nf whats the best way to get support? Haven't been able to publish in 2 days. This is what I see ⬇️

I have a question for the privacy conscious folks. My friend wants to start a blog and he’s trying to decide between privacy platforms like - write.as - bearblog.dev And going for @Highlighter and Nostr for the censorship resistance + zaps. Any advice here?

Something that’s not mentioned as much, is how Bitcoin will disrupt the music industry, basically bring it to its knees and watch it collapse. Music has been devalued to the point where artists beg platforms for fractions of a cent. Most people on earth believe music is free as a result of this devaluation that’s going on for decades. An album CD from 1985 cost around $20 and a Vinyl around $10, which adjusted for inflation should cost $58 and $30 respectively in 2024. But what do we have? Songs cost $0.99 on iTunes since 2001, albums cost somewhere around $9.99, Spotify pays $0.003 per stream, and a vinyl, which is considered a collectors item, goes for $15-$50. Music has been devalued and we’ve let platforms like Spotify decide how much our music is worth. Fuck that. Bitcoin will usher in a new era for artists and musicians. An era of freedom and independence from predatory record label and platforms. Bitcoin micro-transactions, and rewards and loyalty programs will disrupt the music industry moving forward. Fans now have a way to support their favorite artists directly, without third parties, and in a self sovereign censorship resistant way. Don’t ask for permission. Music is not content. Music is a form of art, and yes, people should pay for it. Music is not free. If you think it’s free, the artist is paying for your privilege to listen to it for free in the form of having to work multiple jobs to make ends meet and living paycheck to paycheck hoping the music thing pans out. Artists are getting screwed by the incumbent platforms. But it’s hard to do something about because of the right grasp that major labels have on the industry. But now we have Bitcoin. Disrupting the music industry one artist at a time. Support your favorite artists. And if you know an artists, orange pill them and bring them to Nostr. Bitcoin is hope. @ODELL would love your thoughts here. I want this message to reach every corner of Nostr. ⚡️⚡️ I’m using all the zaps to support artists on @npub1yfg0...v6vg
