The idea that making music is becoming pointless is gaining traction in some circles, especially now that AI-generated content is so easy to create.
Moreover, it's a demonstrable fact that people listen to less music nowadays than in previous decades.
But what does this mean? And how does this shape our thoughts on Bitcoin-related music? Is it worth creating?
These questions may not seem important to some, but they are crucial for us. So, let’s give them 2 sats of thought.
At the heart of the musical experience is the reality that we are humans, with senses attuned to perceiving the world around us.
Because of our human nature, music is more than just a collection of pitches and rhythms; it reveals itself as a profound language that allows us to convey our thoughts, feelings and beliefs.
When we write Bitcoin music, we’re not merely producing songs—we’re sharing perspectives and challenging listeners to think critically about various issues, using music as the medium.
Can AI mimic this? Yes, to some extent. But the rabbit hole is deeper.
At the deepest level, music has a unique ability to build and strengthen individuals and communities.
It creates shared experiences and fosters a sense of belonging among listeners who connect with both the musical style and the messages conveyed.
Because of this, what we are doing is not just "making music" that could be done better by AI.
We are building connections, even if at a slow pace, with people who share similar values and visions for the future. This is what gives our purpose meaning.
Music still has the power to inspire resistance to conformity and remains culturally relevant, even if many people are bored and seem indifferent to it.
We will keep working for those who care, and will keep building the best community we can through music!
