2026 is gonna be our year 💪
Happy new years #nostr
Very good thanks, my first tropical Christmas! Also, sent you a DM on here but don't know if it came through
Hope you had a great Christmas, just finished your audio book, really enjoyed it!
Surfing followed by Regia to rehydrate. Got to make the most before dry January 😜
Merry Christmas #nostr 🎅🌲

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about value-for-value, Nostr, and how music might evolve outside the legacy industry. My sense is that we’re going to see the old and new worlds operating side by side for a number of years, each serving different audiences, before anything fully settles into its final form.
It’s probably unrealistic to expect many established legacy artists to join this space anytime soon. The reasons are many, including long-lasting contracts, increased financial uncertainty, and limited ways to reach genuine music fans. The two worlds aren’t very compatible and don’t translate well into each other.
It may be far more likely to see a new class of established artists emerge entirely within the v4v universe. Their street cred would be sky-high, since it would come from genuine listener support rather than marketing budgets or corporate hype.
I think we only need a handful of real success stories before things start spreading organically. Artists who are creating because they actually have something to say are probably the first ones who will get curious about this model. They are often underserved in the legacy world.
People often point to the Radiohead “pay what you want” release as a successful example of direct fan support. It was an important moment, but it does not fully translate here. Today, v4v largely relies on Bitcoin, which still limits the size of the potential support. That friction will likely decrease over time.
What could really accelerate adoption is the possibility for artists to earn meaningful income while reaching an audience that is actively looking for new, independent music. If that happens, it would not only strengthen v4v as a model, but also help onboard more people to Bitcoin itself. I think this is still early, and I’m curious to see where it goes. The potential for a bright future is definitely here.

I chose to fully embrace value for value because it is a direct fan to artist model. You can create the music you truly believe in, rather than trying to appease musical gatekeepers in the traditional industry. It seems that to succeeded in the current music business, you either already have to have contacts in a place of influence or already come from money. This has just been my observation over the last decade. Also, the whole industry is completely woke. Venues, labels, radios, festivals, booking agencies etc. They won't even touch you unless you fall into their group think. #V4V and #nostr is more than just a monetary upgrade for musicians. It gives the middle finger to the current industry and says, 'I'm going to make the music I want, build genuine connections with my fans who can support my career directly and there's nothing you can do about it.' So punk rock, I love it!
Might be my phone, but if I click on a fountain web link and then I hit the button 'open in fountain', it doesn't open the app but opens another web page. Is that my phone or the app? 😅
Totally agree, being free to consume but not free to produce just means ever worsening quality. Sad times.
If I break even on my forthcoming record, I will feel very lucky. But I created it because I wanted to see it exist in the world, not just to make a profit.
The IMF says El Salvador’s economy is expanding faster than expected, projecting ~4% real GDP growth this year, while negotiations continue on the EFF program review.

I think given enough time, every service will plug itself into lightning on the back end and value will flow freely between all the platforms. Until then, getting people to switch platforms to support a handful of their favourite artists is a big ask. Artists need to be educated so they can educate their audiences and demand change. Until a platform cracks the 'onboarding experience' for noobs to get sats in their wallets and zapping with one click, it's going to be hard recommending any of this to my live gig goers and legacy platform followers. Sure you feel the same
Information wants to be free. This is why #v4v is the only way

Is this legit?
#asknostr #v4v
sure, give it a shot and see if it works!
Love how you can stumble across random cafés with these kind of views in El Salvador 🤩
A service I would pay sats for. A simple website where you could connect a URL to a QR code. There only seems to be QR code services that charge a monthly subscription. Would it not be possible to make a QR code for a one off payment, or at least an annual renewal per QR? #asknostr
Thank you, can't wait for everyone to hear it 🤠

Thanks Dave, just genuinely want artists to hear this message because I know how much of a struggle it is for everyone. It's just so early still
Had a blast talking with Cole about the V4V movement and how artists can take back control of their work with tools like #nostr and podcasting 2.0. Share with any artists you know who are curious about giving this new tech a try.
