Episode Synopsis
Bitcoin Beats: Empowering Musicians in the Digital Age"Join us for an inspiring conversation with Violetta as she shares her journey in merging music with Bitcoin and the path to artist sovereignty. She discusses how Bitcoin's ethos of financial freedom and control resonates with her desire to maintain ownership of her music. Violetta's dissatisfaction with the traditional, centralized music industry led her to explore blockchain technology and NFTs on the Ethereum network. Eventually, she discovered the value of preserving music on the Bitcoin blockchain due to its superior security and immutability. The conversation also delves into Bitcoin Ordinals, the 'NFTs of Bitcoin', as well as platforms like Wavlake for musicians. Toward the end, Violetta gives advice to those looking to follow in her footsteps, emphasizing the importance of building a community and considering the cost of putting music on Bitcoin's blockchain.00:07 Introduction to the Artist's Journey00:36 Announcement: Orange Hatter Retreat01:28 Guest Introduction and Discussion on Music and Art01:58 Violetta's Personal Background and Journey into Music02:56 Exploring Violetta's Family Influence on Her Art06:21 Violetta's Experience with X-Factor and the Music Industry18:07 The Reality of the Music Industry and Streaming Platforms24:11 Building a Passionate Community as a Musician26:02 The Dilemma of Privacy and Artistry26:43 The Power of Choice in Artistic Expression27:20 The Traditional Music Industry vs. Artist Sovereignty28:38 The Journey to Bitcoin and NFTs29:48 The Power of Smart Contracts and NFTs32:31 The Impact of Bitcoin on Artistic Freedom32:46 The Intricacies of Selling Music on Bitcoin32:53 The Role of Copyright in the Music Industry38:21 The Power of Ownership in Music40:52 The Journey to Bitcoin and NFTs Revisited44:32 The Challenges and Rewards of Being a Bitcoin Artist45:52 The Role of Community in Music and Bitcoin48:57 The Future of Music in the Bitcoin Era52:16 Final Thoughts and Reflections*** Check out the Orange Hatter Women's Retreat at www.orangehatter.com/yucatan ***To learn more about Bitcoin: Join the Orange Hatter Women's Reading Club.
