[New Pod] Ideas from the Edge: Music, Discovery, eCash, and Identity with Tony Giorgio

https://fountain.fm/episode/BZEqpFxBFzeLGgZUV177

This was a fun one! @tony and I cover a lot of ground, including:

- Music and its role in society: “He who controls the music controls the mind”

- Why the ad model for monetizing the Internet is not only a panopticon, but also extremely ineffective

- How to find under appreciated long tail Internet content

- How to improve Nostr on-boarding for noobs

- The role of the curator on Nostr

- Permissionless identity creation means evolution can happen much faster

- How Tony uses AI

- How to live a healthy life with (and without) technology; camping is great - in theory

- The balance between contributing to open source and building a company

- Lightning Network as the final settlement layer and Nostr Wallet Connect as the async message layer

- eCash and why Tony is bullish on Fedimint

- Fedimint as its own consensus network

- Nostr evolving into identity for the Internet

- Nostr as the fire hose of raw data - you can build anything with it

- Open source vs. closed AI development
