🧡 This is what it looks like when sound money meets sovereign art.

@BITCOIN is for EVERYONE (May 22-23, 2026) in Portland, Beth Alta Fletcher (Lady Nakamoto) — while volunteering at the Bitcoin For The Arts booth — sold one of her original artworks… and the buyer paid her in Bitcoin, right there.

Real-time. Direct. No middleman. No platform cut.

This is one of the earliest and purest use cases for Bitcoin as a medium of exchange for art.

The history books are watching.

“We want artists to have time on their side… to create the best work they can possibly do.”

Bitcoin lets us build the next renaissance.
In the fiat system, too many artists are forced to make work just to pay rent — projects they don’t truly believe in. The money isn’t real, so the work suffers.

We need real resources so artists can reach their highest creative moments. Bitcoin gives them that freedom.

Clip from my conversation with @MAKE SONGS LONGER @RadioDetox 👇
https://youtu.be/O1kLFTpabK0

Artists & creators — how has fiat affected the work you actually want to make?

Zaps welcome ⚡️

“You don’t own your content. You are the product.”

@Sara Jade on why she gets suppressed and shadowbanned on TikTok — and why she now builds on Nostr.

On centralized platforms your work can be taken down, demonetized, or hidden at any moment.

On Nostr 💜 🧡 💜
→ You own your content
→ You can stay anonymous
→ No one can change the rules on you overnight

This is the difference that actually matters for artists and creators. ⚡

Watch the clip from our latest Share Your Bitcoin Journey EP5:

🧡 “Bitcoiners saw the injustice… and they came to the rescue.”

That’s the real ethos of the Bitcoin community.

In our latest Share Your Bitcoin Journey episode, @Sara Jade powerfully explains the difference between releasing music on centralized platforms (where they control the rules and can change them anytime) versus building on decentralized platforms with sound money.

This isn’t just about money.
It’s about principles.
It’s about sovereignty.
It’s about a community that actually shows up when it matters

Sound money is freedom tech.
Decentralized platforms are creator tech.

This is why we build.

🧡 Artists getting zapped live while performing is next level.

In our latest Share Your Bitcoin Journey episode, @Sara Jade shares what it felt like to be paid in real-time Bitcoin zaps while performing live using Nostr + @tunestr.

She got zapped from both the people in the room and the audience watching online — all while creating on stage.

This is what value-for-value looks like in action.

The technology doesn’t replace the live experience — it enhances it. You keep the energy in the room while opening it up to anyone, anywhere.

What do you think — is live zapping during performances the future?
