Most artists in this lifetime will never be free. Why. Because they have allowed themselves to be institutionalized. What do I mean by that. Normally, an artist wants to be free to create whatever comes through them as a unique expression. But since art and all forms of art have gone through academics and institutions, the artist is made to believe that they need an intermediary, a middleman or a middlewoman, or institutions that are going to validate them. And so they give their power away from the very beginning. They do not understand what money is. They do not know how to negotiate their own terms. And by the time they probably make it, in quotations, meaning they get the recognition and the funds in the bank account, they are no longer free to act, because they have already signed their soul to the devil. That is why I very seldom find any artist who is a Bitcoiner. Because in order to follow the truth about money, you have to be free from the system. You cannot be in the system and claim that you are free in the monetary sense, because the fiat standard makes you a debt slave, including in art, since art is also used by political and social agendas. That is why I find it rare that artists will find a way through the Bitcoin standard.

I struggled to find artists when I first got to Nostr, they were definitely more difficult to find than tech ppl. For me it’s another symptom of how early we are. And I love being early for this.

I remember being triggered reading the art section in the Bitcoin Standard, but after a bit of distance and upon reflection I agree with his criticisms.
