I really don’t know why musicians just don’t embrace peer to peer shit like Bitcoin. It really begs the question why these platforms and record labels will exist going forward if musicians realise they can have a direct line to their fans with nostr and bands can buy music from them directly peer to peer with bitcoin.

1. Most people are below average intelligence, especially musicians 🤣
2. Most people are not technically inclined and do not know the difference between a client, a platform and a protocol
3. Most people go with the flow and do what everyone else is doing
4. Most people prefer a service to do things for them or a centralized platform so they can just focus on music or be lazy
It means the fans have to also get behind this. So it could still be a long ways off, but hopefully not. If I post on, Instagram let’s say, that I’m leaving Spotify and other mainstream streaming, and tnat my new album is ONLY available on Wavlake, well then I better hope a decent % of ppl go and check it out, AND send me some $. Or I have to be okay with less ppl checking it out.. u fortunately Spotify is huge because it’s the EASIEST thing for consumers. Not artists.. it could be a long process, but even the fact that these conversations are happening is the right start and the fact that more & more ppl are realizing the ceo of Spotify is a fuck head- turn it opens ppl’s eyes to looking at alternatives.
