RE: Why Don't More Musicians Use Cryptocurrency?

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)

I am a musician myself and crypto advocate. But I think we still have along way to go when it comes to usability and adoption. The potential is there for sure. But as far as interfaces there are not any good ones not that iv'e seen at the moment but then again i havent been realy looking and i dont think most musicians will be checking for it untill it has the visibility of soundcloud or bandcamp. but it is a catch 22. As i can see that intergrated into a platform like this one (which ive seen you are trying to do :) ) it could work very well because as a culture we have come to a consensis that music is free. Even myself as a musician who appriceates art am likley to (trap out the bandwith! to quote dj akademics) and download a new album but support the artist by goin to one of there shows or buying a tshirt. However If you dont have to pay to vote in a sytem like steemit i could see it working well. However if it was just another music service similar to bandcamp, cdaby, soundcloud, ect ect it would offer no real advantage and be even less atractive to artist looking for exposure as blockchain is not mainstreem yet. It has potential though. But one issue i have as an artist that needs to be overcome (that i may post about) is that you cant edit or delete. And thats a kind of hard thing if your a perfectionist, well it may help you get over it! lol Been enjoying you posts man. Im new here and have been relating to most things you post.

Sort:  

Well the good thing is you can edit and delete on the frontend - for example I could edit this reply if I wanted to. BUT, on the blockchain you're right, the old posts will always be hidden in the background.

You're totally spot on that we need better tech to entice more people. I'm optimistic it'll happen, just based on how the Internet and computers in general took so long (decades) to catch on in the mainstream.

Thanks for reading! Glad to hear that you're digging it.
