Currency debasement doesn’t just make groceries more expensive—it devalues creativity, culture, and expression. When money loses value, artists face a harsh reality: prioritize short-term survival (rent > innovation) over creating timeless work. Music is no exception—streaming pays fractions of a cent per play, tour costs are skyrocketing, and labels push trends that ‘sell fast’ instead of work that ‘lasts forever.’ Why? Because the system forces creators to chase constant output just to keep up with inflation. Unionizing/negotiating just helps with symptoms but doesn’t solve the root problem: a currency designed to lose value which gets printed endlessly to debase global debt. Every paycheck, royalty, and sale gets eroded. The solution? Fix the money. #Bitcoin offers a hard cap, predictable monetary policy, and purchasing power that increase through time. Some professional athletes are already leading the way, saving and getting part of their paycheck in Bitcoin. They've gained the deflationary benefits of a currency that appreciates over time in the past 4 years. When will the music industry follow? Fix the money, fix the incentives, fix the art.

Exciting to see legendary music producer Rick Rubin talk Bitcoin with @jack Mallers . Most people focus on social issues like inequality or pollution, dividing over politics, but can’t seem to see the root societal issue which is our broken monetary system—the foundation of civilization. All social issues are important but you can’t fully treat the problem just by focusing on its symptoms. Money without energy is just credit, which is what fiat currencies are. The fiat system demands endless artificial growth and inflation to keep its solvency, stopping us from enjoying the deflationary benefits of exponential tech and efficiency that should lower prices of goods. Money, a representation of our energy and time, should solve barter and prevent double spending. Allowing a group to print money from thin air lets them steal/control our time, energy, and thus wealth—even from future generations. By debasing our currency, they force onto the population misallocation of capital such as overconsumption and non productive investments. Energy can’t be created neither destroyed, so money must be hard to fake it and impossible to make more of it out of nothing. Quoting @Jeff Booth : “Abundant money creates scarcity; a scarce money unlocks abundance”. And for those who like to read I recommend the book by @Lyn Alden called “Broken Money”.

Hope to see more people joining Nostr in the next 12-24 months 🙂
