Fountain Live at The Old Blue Last wasn’t just another music event.
It was a glimpse at what happens when live music, Bitcoin, Value4Value, Podcasting 2.0 and real-time artist payments meet IRL.

Songwriters with songs streamed millions of times... Still working day jobs. Because the math doesn't work, and was never designed to.
Music is how humans process grief, joy, love, and anger. The people who dedicate their lives to making it deserve more than $200/year from Spotify.
That's not a radical position. It's a basic statement of human dignity. No other industry in the world would stand for this. Even a baker doesn't sell it's bread at a loss. It's time to reclaim music for human musicians and their human fans.
We laid it all out here:
