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.

v4v applied to music is genuinely crazy.

i have bought expensive concert tickets and felt okay about it if i love the band. glad they are getting that bag, i appreciate their work.

if you remove the bullshit, and anytime the song really hits i can zap them a couple cents, or set up an autozap everytime a song plays, or if i play ten songs by an artists.

i think digital busking scales artists out of a dead-end lifestyle.

Very few artists have realized #bitcoin

it’s normal because the entertainment world moves in dollars.

They all need it. It’s crazy.

They’ll get it eventually

We are on a mission to bring more artists into the valueverse.

V4v is actually a long standing tradition in the music industry but we've lost sight of that.

Too busy catering to the algos and executives who promise the world just to deliver crumbs to the masses and diluting the art of music in the process.

Bitcoin takes v4v music to the next level by giving artists self-sovereignty.

Amen.

Now we must brainstorm how to educate artists & fans on this new shift.

The podcasting community has known this for years, and is slowly but steadily building the alternatives.

Below you'll find links to a handful of the music shows. Real people, picking real music, no algos, hand curated by those who truly love music and musicians.

And the best part, the curators get paid in sats for their skills in curating a perfect playlist and helping the artist get discovered, and the artist get paid in sats everytime a listener loves a song enough to send support. It's a model in which everyone wins.
