Hi, I'm BitcoinDJ on Choon and if you like to listen or make music you should definitely check it out!
What is Choon?
Choon is a music streaming service and digital payments ecosystem—designed to solve the music industry’s most fundamental problems.
Choon allows artists to earn cryptocurrency for every stream of their tracks.
Not a musician? You can still earn NOTES!
You can earn NOTES by making a playlist of songs and sharing it with your friends. A lot of the artists will share their revenue with playlist curators as an incentive to get their music heard.
I've been using the platform for just under 2 months and really enjoy putting my music out there, seeing that people are actually listening to it and getting rewarded with NOTES every day!
How much is a NOTE worth?
Although NOTES are not yet trading, the last going price on the one day ICO which got cancelled was for around 5 cents per NOTE.
They are expected to start trading some time in September.
How will Choon be viable if they are letting people listen to music for free and paying musicians?
Fair question. Free music streaming is an introductory feature and will not always be free. They will start offering a paid plan when they have enough music in their catalog.
The money they are paying musicians and playlist curators is money from investors who are betting that the platform will succeed in the future. That's great news for musicians who can earn money today from their music and it's also great news for consumers who can listen to a lot of different music for free.
What does BitcoinDJ music sound like?
It's hard to pick a single genre, but if I had to pick one probably Dark Ambient Techno & Instrumental Hiphop or DATIH anyway better to hear my music than for me to try to explain it using words:
