I find this an interesting but problematic proposition. The specific industries you highlighted first rely heavily on IP exploitation. Bitcoin encourages behaviors which make it harder to make money renting out IP. Bitcoiners seem to regularly ask themselves whether they should expend money consuming such and so good or service, versus acquiring more bitcoin. How does a comic book shop stay open if it's full of people who would rather buy bitcoin than comic books? We certainly need geographical hubs, where ideas and experiments turn into culture and propagate into a greater society. I don't know where that could be for Bitcoin. It's going to take bitcoiners either opening spaces, or getting lucky enough to find spaces. I have held Bitcoin Brunch over 100 times at the same location because I had a pre-existing relationship with the restaurant ownership. Not everyone can so easily set up a home base for their effort to bring people together, and I still dream of having my own space where I could host Bitcoin Brunch. Maybe for the 500th Brunch. To get back on topic, I think things lead to the Hot Topic and Spotify culture specifically because those are the most profitable methodologies given the regulatory landscapes of the respective industries. These companies take advantage of monopolized data. This applies to the independent record or comic book shop, perhaps simply not as much. Bitcoin and other open source technologies may significantly reshape many of the industries in question, likely not without a fight. Alas, I go off topic again.
