It is my understanding that there is a difference between legal and lawful. The government does not deal in the lawful realm but the legal realm. Legal implies contract and agreeing to terms. That's why paying tax is "optional". The government can only tax what they create and control (fiat, your securitized government issued identity). Since government did not create bitcoin, they can only tax it if you allow them to (when you file your taxes and declare your btc).

Thank you sir! Come it shall 😎

Thanks mate!

Happy New Year #nostr! Do you have any resolutions or things you are looking forward to in 2026? We are looking forward to the #BTC price hopefully mooning and also releasing a huge amount of songs into the #valueverse. 2026 will be a great year for us in #v4vmusic! #asknostr

Thanks man! I have been in touch with nostr:nprofile1qqsr5qnsn6medetj3vexljqqvy99gfdrgsp7hs9f52kdvrryz6gwkrsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj762g94d about selfhosting music and he also mentioned this! I will talk to him again soon and hopefully we get my first problem solved and then potentially talk about some other stuff this wonderful valueverse has to offer! I am learning more and more everyday! Blows me away!

Thanks brother! Will try to tune into this one for now for sure!

I believe it!

This looks incredibly cool! Would love to participate in a decentralized concert! 🎧🎤🎸

Saw a bit of the link you sent me. It reminded me of Monty python in the beginning a bit 😁

First one is obviously the best. I did really enjoy the third one as a kid when it came out. Rrwatched the second one a couple years ago and it wasn't as bad as I remembered it being. The newest ones though I hear are super bad though lol

There are some great v4v music podcast that showcase independent music. @🎙UpBEATs🎶 is one, Mutton, Mead & Music is another. If you like heavier music you can look up Lightning Thrashes. Two Angry Cunts Podcast has also recently done some music episodes! 🤘

I also haven't been able to upload any videos to zap.stream for a week or two. I think in my case its a server issue I have to investigate.

Our first attempt at teaching normies about #v4vmusic and decentralized protocols…not too much success. Yet.

Thanks for featuring us! Can't wait to listen to the whole show! 🎧

Oh wow! Sounds amazing! Can't wait to listen! 🙏

Yes its a great time for sure! Our equipment is definitely more advanced, however we don't have decades of engineering and production experience. But we are slowly increasing our knowledge everyday and have come a long way since starting! Glad to have you along for the ride! 🤘

Was a good episode. We are looking into self-hosting our next release. Just working on figuring it all out!

Thanks so much! We are lucky to have Josh as our lead vocalist. He has quite a range. Some of our releases scheduled over the next year will have some more harmonies as well. When we built our home studio we loved experimenting with layering guitars and vocals 🤘

Primus is one of the great power trios!

In our just over 2 months in #v4vmusic this song has been one of our most popular, along with its live version. Too Late To Be Found is probably our catchiest tune released so far, and our most zapped. So if you are looking to discover one last song in 2025 or looking for a new favourite song to kick off 2026 check it out!

Band Member Profile - Josh

Hello my name is Josh. I am the bass player and main vocalist of Strange Love. I was 8 years old when I started playing music. Some of my favourite bands are The Band, Foxwarren, and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Some of my favourite musicians are Frank Zappa, Bob Dylan and Beck. The best thing about being a part of Strange Love is getting to write poetic lyrics to melody ideas that Anthony brings to us, and trying to figure out a distinct yet complimentary bass line. My hobbies outside of music are reading (mostly fantasy) and Dungeons and Dragons. #v4vmusic
