RE: Why Don't More Musicians Use Cryptocurrency?
Crypto takes an element of technical savvy - even today.
Musical artists as a general sub-culture and the tech savvy don't typically overlap. It would take some active evangelizing of the blockchain, Ujo and other music-focused crypto services.
Then it would need to spread by word of mouth and general usefulness. Patreon is a good example of this type of growth.
Yea it's been pretty hard for me to introduce musicians to this platform due to the technical barrier. I want to show them it isn't too hard, then I realize how many different concepts need to be explained - what is bitcoin, what is blockchain, what is an altcoin, what is steem, how to secure your account, how to cash out in USD, DAMN its a lot if you're starting from a totally blank slate.
my first week on this has consumed me, so much to learn, still more too.
haven't made much music this week as a result.
it will be worth all the effort though
ahh don't let it take you away from music too much! its all about facilitating the greatest creativity and best music possible, at least in my mind :-)
im still working out how I'm gonna film and make sure i can share it all efficiently,
getting closer everyday.
So, the trick would be to built an abstraction layer over top for them. Perhaps use guitar picks or instruments instead of keys or to denote value. Can't lose them. Have them upload their content...
Probably a startup in there somewhere...
