- excellent piece and comments
just some thoughts from a wayward child
choon only unlocked notes - no agenda beyond this at this time (sad - potential proof of concept missed here)
main problem with 99%+ crypto platforms - not tied in with a fiat generator and will fail
(not selling this but) - eg solarex have built a blockchain based solar energy finance platform which fills a huge funding gap for commercial and industrial solar energy projects in Africa- they rent out solar panels and earn revenue hence the Sun EX token generates 'real value' to investors - just one example of a few similar ICOs out there
the crypto industry is going through a rebalancing / reality check at this time
re choon / NOTES - need a revenue stream eg bit-sized ads after every 10 plays (sad but ads generate c90% revenue for most platforms) or develop an app that businesses could use to stream in-premises track playlists for a quid a week say (music industry is losing nearly $3bn per year allegedly) or licensing options or a subscription service or ...
agree with re: "none of these crypto sites are made to be easy to get money out" - onus should be on choon to trade and provide a value to artist for "cashing out / value transfer" direct to paypal or bank account of choice (again potential proof of concept missed here)
the concept of music blockchain platforms is still, well, new - they have yet to find position in the music business spectrum but sure the excellent choon platform will get there
for now as an independent music maker - focus on music creation / promotion and playing live (no matter how small your gig) - these all add up to ...
... the futures as bright as you make it ...
N.B. artists and fans can still support music eg
