Imagine you’re trying to convince your non-bitcoiner musician friends to join nostr to post their music and try to grow an audience? What are you telling them? What are the incentives they can reali...

When I talk to musicians, "discovery" is the word they use most frequently. They want people to hear their music, and I think word of mouth is still the best form of marketing, so if they come over to Nostr they get to interact with a unique group of individuals with varied interests and areas of expertise from around the world. It's intimate. They might even enjoy feeling like a big fish in a small pond.

And if the musician can set up a wallet or build a node, they can EARN Bitcoin rather than worry about buying it. There's tons of people here willing to help with the technical aspects too, like opening channels.

Coming from the Podcasting 2.0 world, I encourage all musicians to host their art on their own website via RSS and run a node when they get serious about Bitcoin. That's the truly decentralized foundation with no third parties to censor their work or rugpull their value.

Once their RSS feed is added to the Podcast Index, music shows can play their songs and redirect incoming sats straight to their wallet when a song is played V4V which is another opportunity to earn both exposure and sats.

Oh, but also the opportunity to collaborate with other freedom-minded folks here is real and truly valuable. 💜

I don't understand why more people (not just artists) aren't moving instead of only whining and moaning about censorship and bans. I found nostr by searching for sol...
