Bitcoiners branching out into other industries is great, but what I really want to see is people in other industries adopting Bitcoin.
I’m particularly keen for musicians, athletes and sports teams to figure this out (shout out to Perth Heat for leading by example). That's why I was very excited to discover Joe Martin.
Joe is a singer-songwriter who is a musician first but also a bitcoiner. He gets it, and the best bit...he’s good!
We want Joe to be able to take a message to his friends in the music industry, so we’re passing on all donations (streams, boosts etc) from value-for-value enabled podcasting apps.
Have a listen to Joe's story and his current single / title track from his new album. If you like what you hear, please send a few sats his way.
We discuss:
- His backstory as Country/Americana artist
- Crafting story-based songs and the creative process of making an album
- What it means to be a professional (completely independent) musician today
- Generating a revenue from gigs and merchandise.
- How many streams you need to make $1
- Personal investment and risk
- Nashville, networking and playing at the Bluebird Cafe
- UK Tour – kicks off April 13th @ the Yacht Club in Teignmouth
- Monetising information that wants to be free
- Lightning and microtransactions
- Removing friction to value transfer
- Nostr
- Selling tickets for Bitcoin!
- Value 4 Value pack
