been on SC for 4 years and I think its a decent platform for the song writer, young producer. I have 125,000 listeners.

 

To get into the millions, one has to heavily promote. And pay for it. Its not like Benjamins falling out of the sky.

 

I am not caught up in scratching for income, fortunately.

 

I will be watching for the details on how they structure comp. Many listeners might be used to having a free

ride for several years. I support what SC is planning.

Why fit in, when you were born to stand out ?

Almost three years ago, I predicted that artists would start their own blockchain-based currencies. It took longer than I expected, but NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens) based on blockchain rights management is exploding.

 

Look at what 3lau and others are doing. It does have a bit of a fad/tulip mania vibe at the moment, but it will settle down into something real. It's one of the first ways I've seen for digital artists to get compensated, using a different model from things like Bandcamp, Patreon, or benevolent companies dishing out a piece of the profits.

 

Watch this space.

Yeah, I just saw Adam Deitch (drummer from Lettuce) post about NFTs the other day. Within a couple hours, I saw an article shared by someone else, as well as Billy Martin (from MMW) post some artwork for NFT sale. I know a few musicians locally who are in the crypto game to varying degrees. Interesting times.
