Hey man! It’s a pleasure to read your ideas about these important issues.
Annonymal, as you may know, shares a similar vision. But there are a few thoughts we believe are worth adding to the conversation.
Every Bitcoin artist has their own journey, their own dream, and their own strategy — and because of that, it’s difficult to unify every perspective under one model.
Here’s a reality:
For conferences to pay the artists, the artists must first bring value to conferences.
No organizer will put real money in an artist just for the sake of spending money — especially in a world where a computer running Spotify can deliver endless music to the audience “for free”.
We wish that wasn’t the dynamic — but right now, it is.
There’s a natural cycle:
exposure
interest
momentum
demand
compensation
When people begin attending Bitcoin events because of the artists, conferences will happily pay for art — not as a favor, but as a win-win exchange.
There’s simply no shortcut around that.
Bitcoin culture today is early, small, diverse, and poor. (Not in creativity, but in economic power.) So we must embrace humble beginnings to climb toward the heights that we deserve.
The ones who can help ignite this growth are the wealthier Bitcoiners and companies, not necessarily the event organizers, who believe in long-term cultural value.
Sponsorships can give artists the opportunity to perform, to reach new audiences, and to build the momentum that later becomes financial sustainability.
But we know this is easy to grasp and hard to build.
Convincing people to invest in artists that will benefit them only indirectly requires a lot of skills. But we must remain confident — because culture is how movements become unstoppable.
Let’s keep building the future you are calling for. Our music will rise. The crowds will come. And Bitcoin culture will roar louder than the old world could ever have imagined.
Horns up for Satoshi!
Best Regards.
Annonymal
