Your “devil’s advocate” approach is the correct one. We need solid arguments that make this space special. It will resonate with those who agree. I never found Bitcoin interesting until I realized that the fiat world is finished. Yes, Monero might be a better alternative, but since BTC is more widespread, and now with Lightning, it makes a lot of sense that this is the focus for now. Building a new space for music on the foundation of the economy of the future feels much more intriguing than continuing to focus all energy on something that is bound to fail. Even if Spotify survives for more than a couple of years, it will most likely become a CBDC platform. Removing middlemen is just as important as building on sound money. For too long, the hard labor of creative people has been extracted by those who contributed very little, but injected themselves into positions of power that allowed them to control the entire industry, mainly to serve themselves and their shareholders. With them out of the picture, we have a chance to see artists thrive and earn a decent living from doing what they’re meant to do, without needing a side hustle just to pay the bills. The closest we currently get to a social app with music in focus is Nostria, which is tightly integrated with native Nostr music while also including a whole lot more. No support for RSS Podcasting 2.0 yet, though. It also has a very simple community feature that most people seem to overlook. But you’re right. It would be nice to see something more like Reddit or old-school web forums integrated into an app. Discussions like this are much better suited to that kind of environment than as comments under a Nostr post.
