Join Tatiana Moroz, a pioneering folk singer and activist in the Bitcoin space as we discuss the challenges faced by independent artists in making a living through music and explore how Bitcoin can be integrated into revenue streams for creatives. Tatiana shares her journey from growing up in New Jersey with a skeptical view of government to becoming a Bitcoin advocate.

Tatiana also talks about her involvement with the Free Ross movement, advocating for the release of Ross Ulbricht, the creator of Silk Road. She highlights the injustices of the drug war and the need for systemic change. The conversation touches on the importance of community building, the challenges of the current music industry, and the potential of decentralized platforms to support artists.
