I redpilled my son as he is starting a record label.

But its hard work getting young kids off facebook and fiat especially in the arts. As they are all more or less brainwashed commie rebellions only focusing on their next bear and a place to sleep and play.

How ever he managed to get the artists he signed to accept bitcoin, on the condition he pay them bitcoin revenue in fiat once a year. They generally don't care and wont listen to explainers.

However i think as soon as we get a good hosting/lighting/social app for music sharing things may take off. I like podcasting 2.0 value for value model, omething similar for music is needed.

Just listen to Martys chat with JP and justin about Zion. Zion focus on building communities and sound like another cool way to go.

So in general atm i am mostly musing about direction to take, testing all kinds of lightning stuff and started working on a web site i use to test stuff. apoteket.org

I have a feeling we are still very early in bitcoin lightning, and there are alot of things that need to settle before we find a way to scale. There seems to be alot of directions taken by different projects.

A circular economy by community, and community who is interoperable over lightning is emerging.

So i hope we can keep the lightning network compatible across apps and implementations as it scales. Things are now moving so fast i just saw a new player implementing lightning addresses, and the next second i saw CLN making changes that break many existing LNURLp implementations who use c-lightning.

So my hope is that out of this chaos of development and innovation a new more decentralized yet interoperable internet and social media landscape will evolve.

Still need to break the spell of fiat, and get our kids interested in this tech. Many young adults to day are born into facebook, instagram, snapchat and the like. Its really hard to get them off these platforms as it has become part of their life and network.

Paradoxically Big tech censorship may help us out here, as more an more are canceled they have no choice but to look for alternatives.

Love what stacker news is doing here btw. Its a good example of whats to come.
