I'm an advocate for getting rid of V4V, vb4v, etc. This is jargon to me, and I don't think it's going to help us grow this community. I'm an advocate for communicating it all in plain language. I think once it grows to a certain extent, the fans will create something like a hashtag or phrase for it. I hope to see that. I really want to leave it up to the musicians and fans. Or maybe something else comes along to push the idea, like films. who knows? I love what Avi Burra is doing with IndeeHub, for example. Music is just so universal, it seems like it's the most likely place for this idea to take off.

I don't think there is one "proper" way to do this. I think when we focus on that, we are focused on the wrong thing, indoctrination, which isn't fun or attractive to new folks who want to come into the space.

I think we need to be more open and welcoming, which is not something we've done a good job at. Part of that is going to be making it easier to understand so people will adopt it. Part of it is just being nice to newcomers, rather than browbeating them that there is only "one" "proper" way things should be done. I certainly don't want to squelch new energy or ideas coming in.

Lately it seems it's getting folks to spend their Bitcoin. We've had years of HODLing culture. it's time to spend some sats on the world we want to see.

We will be at Nostr Valley in State College, PA this Saturday, 10/18 to take the Nostr roadshow for a spin around Penn State. We'll stream live to Nostr and hope for a good turnout—the area will be packed for parents weekend. We may have a good opportunity here to hand out some purple pills to a whole new crowd that's never seen this kind of craziness before. That's me being bullish though. It's hard to purple pill a cold crowd, which is what I expect it to be.

We've got a warm crowd coming up in Nashville on the 25th. These are bitcoiners because we'll be at Bitcoin Park. I want to see folks zapping Ainsley Costello and Joe Martin as they perform. I'm talking about in-person zappers and those watching online on Zap.Stream, Nostur, Primal, and—my personal favorite—Tunestr.io. We need Bitcoiners to participate more, both in person and online. We need folks to spend their bitcoin rather than HODL when it comes to pushing culture and creating this world we want to see. We need them right now to lead the way. These are the alleged smarted people on the planet because they found bitcoin first. I want to see them 'get it' when it comes to music and V4V.

I'm asking for the Bitcoin community to show up and show out. I didn't see this in Vegas in May. I want to see this now.

Bitcoiners need to participate. Be fans. Watch the shows online because you CAN. Zap artists because you CAN. Come out to Nostr Valley this weekend and Bitcoin park in Nashville next weekend. This is the bitcoin lifestyle y'all always wanted, right? It's culture, community, and a circular economy.

That's the first step. You can have a Bitcoin musical lifestyle. Watch us from Nostr Valley from anywhere in the world. Come out to enjoy live entertainment at Bitcoin Park! It won't just be music. It will be fellowship with like minds. We'll have The Bitcoin Painter out there making art LIVE. Shawn Yaeger will will grace us with a fireside chat. 🔥 and expect there to be a little AI building demo on Shakespeare with Derek and I involved... You guys wanna see us do the real nerd snipe IRL? We got you!

Nothing is cooler than meeting your fellow bitcoiners and Nostriches IRL while contributing to our open source ecosystem. Music, food, drinks, AI nerds, galaxy brains like Shawn... It's gonna be a great time! Can't wait to see you out there!

ultimately, this tech is an open source gift to the world and we have to allow people to take it and run with it in every way.

The BEST songs are long and have three parts, like Y Can't Tori Read's "Etienne" or Yungblud's "Hello Heaven, Hello." Legendary. Zeppelin songs. 🔥

Well, I'm old 😉 I've had 10 careers by now. I always tend to seek adventure, from working in radio/TV to social work in the addiction field, I ended up here because I was in tech marketing after TV and got really into startup world at the same time I was learning Bitcoin. Then Nostr came along and I really found my tribe in Nostr PHX. We did an event in Feb 2024 with Sara Jade that really activated my V4V gene. It all kinda came together in my brain 🧠 having worked in radio for so long and having seen the dysfunction of the radio and records industry, it all clicked for me. I watched Sara rock Sam Means' warehouse for 30 minutes with her original songs and earn $750 in Bitcoin and I was sold. I became a V4V disciple, spreading the good word of Bitcoin and Nostr.

Haha! We have so many... Miners are undefeated. I can't say QW because that's showing favoritism. 😂 We've got some in the Rigly Telegram group who have made some good ones. We need a good zapathon on Nostr to help the memelord cream rise to the top... ⚡️

I farted around with it in 2018 and 2019 knowing nothing. I was working in TV in 2020 during the pandemelection and that did it. I was looking for the escape hatch, questioning everything and that was it. I was a TV producer and had a front row seat to the world being on fire and I'd had it. I dove into my geneaology and Bitcoin pretty hard. 2020 forged me in the fire as a Bitcoiner.

I love it and want more of it. You can just open up Primal and see what's happening now. Could be someone on the 1s & 2s, could be ODELL and Marty, who knows? May be my bro QW and Avi doing PCR... I like that we never know what's on! I'm sure we could also use some kind of schedule posted somewhere, too.

I want way more folks doing this. I want more V4V podcasters. Getting the music online to discover is one thing. We need some curators to spend the time finding and curating it for the fans. This will help create more fans. it's a flywheel and we gotta get it spinning faster. Right now, the V4V hamster is asleep. Time to poke him and get more participation.
