Nice to meet you too. Well done for making a living at it for 25 years, that’s not easy. I’ve seen so many good musicians either walk away from it or not make much to live on and have to compromise on things etc. I agree there are a lot of talented youngsters still learning to play - and they are really good! I just hope that the Bitcoin effect could be to allow some of the older generation musicians to be able to support viable live venues or studios to help guide and produce the talent coming through. I hear the term ‘generational wealth’ thrown about on podcasts and it is like they mean ‘sit on it forever, Laura, so my great-grandkids will think I was a fucking genius’, but I think generational wealth really should mean ‘wealth that generates something’, including great-grandkids too of course.

Yeah ‘generational wealth’ is an alien concept to me, I’ve no kids and I certainly fall into the category of people who’ve sacrificed a lot in able to do something they love and I’m pretty broke to be honest but, along with my business partner, we can sustain ourselves for at least a year while developing a new space and I know some great, young creative people. The future is what we make it. I guess some people just want to hoard and die it seems. I’ve maybe 30 years left on this planet and I intend to do something useful in that time. I mean I can totally understand doing the best by your kids but leaving them massive amounts of money doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll do something good. They might just spend it on cocaine and hookers and unless you become president, they won’t be pardoned…
