In the debut episode of 10,000 Satoshis, hosts Joe Fi and Collin kick things off from the land of 10,000 Lakes with a focus on all things Bitcoin in Minnesota—through a truly local lens. Their first guest, “Open Mike,” shares his journey from CPA to founder of Tunestr—a Bitcoin- and Nostr-powered live-streaming platform designed to help artists connect directly with fans and earn sats without middlemen. The conversation covers the challenges facing independent musicians, the monopoly power of Live Nation, how Bitcoin and Nostr can empower creators, and how open-source tools like Tunestr might shape the future of live music. Packed with stories from the Minneapolis music scene, insights on bridging Bitcoin and the arts, and plenty of Minnesota pride, this episode sets the tone for telling the stories of the “10,000 Satoshis” in our community.
