I have to say, some of the biggest boosts I have got were from our songs being included in bitcoin podcasts or podcasts that aren’t V4V music related, but add a song at the end of their episode. Bitcoin podcasts seem to have fairly large audiences and obviously listeners have some sats to throw around.

On point 3 yes, totally, more V4V shows are needed for sure. With all your experience of putting them on so far, do you find they are working better being attached to bitcoin conferences or as a standalone thing? Is it better for them to have their own identity and be live-streamed etc away from a conference? Is there a diminishing return in getting the same artists to repeat largely the same set at the same venue to largely the same audience, just like when a small band is trying to break through but needs a bigger audience? Should we try to work together to create a set of venues with V4V gigs that artists could move round in a sort of self organised tour? Or should people work together and book more flagship music venues and get artists to travel and hope the venue name excites a bigger livestream audience?

1/ Which podcast audience is it best to target - Bitcoin or normie? If they are on yt, fb, etc there's always risk of getting a strike or demonetised for playing music. But the platforms is where most people are. 2 and 3 yes! And please keep up your great work! 🙌

It was before my time, but it sounds like boostagram ball played a major role in things and the "Alby Apocalypse" had a major effect in the opposite. I reckon solutions around this will be a big part of the discussion.
