Artists, musicians, and creators do not need blockchain or NFTs
Iβm a musician, DISCOVERABILTY and customer engagement is the problem I need solved
Then I can use the native decentralisation of the internet to host content, avoid deplatforming and get paid direct via #bitcoin
Hip Hop is 1/3 of all music streaming on the internet.
Audio #NFTs are a thing.
But where are all the Hip Hop NFTs?!
Imagine being able to rock up, rap over a randomly generated beat (unique every time), mint and sell it as a limited edition NFT in minutes..
There seems to be no effective niche to reclaim ground against the Corporate Music Biz. - It needs to be grass roots, but consumer / artist grass-roots don't align.
The new Bittunes test site is live.. See: https://t.co/8mrZ8BhKKg We are working towards Bittunes operating as a true cross platform web service, built as a 'responsive' site. There's a long way to go to get it perfect, but its starting to take shape.

.@TheNewXDAGuy don't get too excited.. From time to time people love to rant about the plight of Artists and the idiocy of the Music Industry.. Then they go back to whatever they were doing.
.@AdamSinger YES.. #Discovery.. 'Finding Stuff and Being Found' is the key problem for Artists and Fans.. Binding their interests together is the key monster strategy. :) https://t.co/qs3e9uuNJW
Here are 100 albums you missed in 2018 if you don't believe me there's life changing music no one has solved the discovery problem for. Enjoy. This sort of human curation scaled would be nail in the pop-industrial complex coffin. Actually has soul/heart. https://t.co/B5RR6uHhUv
.@AdamSinger Bittunes has users in >130 Countries.. Our vision is about a monetised fully legal Limewire, energising amazing grass roots music all over the world.. https://t.co/ai9TfIZO28 dream BIG.. It's doable.
Do we not all agree this is an inefficient market. Come on startup nerds I'm even ok with an ex-Uber sociopath/all out disruptor to burn everything mainstream music to the ground. RIAA been litigating against tech/users & abusing DMCA notices for decades. Cancer on the web.
@natfriedman@github Update 2: @github blocked all Iranian accounts without any prior notice and they don't give us a chance to download our data.
If you send a request for backup to @GitHubHelp, this is their answer (take a look at the screenshot)

If you're a VC and you want to make a difference then by definition you can't spend your time fighting to get into over subscribed deals.
Those companies do not need you. Instead spend your time finding conviction in founders nobody else is ready to support.
