RE: Blockchain Music Distribution in 2018: The Three Best Platforms & How to Use Them
Really interesting @heymattsokol and I am wondering how these will also threaten Steem in the coming years as I am more 'Steem' based than many others. It seems that the normal 'jump ship' approach of internet user bases will follow into blockchain platforms too but I am hoping that the monetary investments will help people be more willing to build and repair than abandon.
A lot of this will depend on how much traction they are able to garner but many seem to hear 'crypto' and expect to become millionaires in a few weeks.
I am not music based so I can't comment much on that side of things but I really hope that all kinds of artists see the potential to learn and earn early.
Hopefully Steem can be the Microsoft or the Apple or the Google of this space, the mega ultra huge platform that most people use. That's my dream. If anybody from this blockchain space can compete with them though, it's LBRY (platform 3 in the article) -- those dudes mean business!
Hopefully the people who are hearing crypto and getting millionaire dreams will leave it all alone... we have enough of that already. :-)
We can all dream. 😊 If i could pay off my violin loan and fix my car from the crypto earned, i would be more then happy. Ill check this out first hand to get a feel for the project.
For a lot of us, anything helps in becoming independant and free to create. Thanks for the post. 😊
Good luck, I think paying off the violin and car repairs is a very reasonable goal and the book will hopefully be helpful for you in doing that. Stick with it @silentscreamer - I think I saw you over at LBRY too right?
Reasonable or not im giving it a shot. But its damn tough. Yeah i was there im trying everything atm. There is so much to read and learn.
Akasha are another one trying to get in on this game too. They’re also download only atm, which is that big barrier.
Yea tbh I would not even put them in the ballpark of the platforms listed in this article.
If these platforms are tier one, and some others are tier two (UjoMusic, BitTunes, etc), Akasha is like tier five lol. "Early stage beta product that took 1.5 years to develop," idk, I wish them the best but I gotta see way way more from them before I start to care.
I think one of the biggest benefits no matter the art form is people get direct access to the workflow behind the finished product hence making them involved instead of alienated as is the case today.
