- Into the Valueverse 1 - Live at the Fickle Pickle
On Friday, 23rd May 2025, history was made at The Fickle Pickle Club in Westcliff-on-Sea.
Into the Valueverse became the UK’s first-ever Bitcoin-powered live music event, blending raw independent talent with the revolutionary value-for-value model.

🎤 Featuring:
Longy – Southend rebel with electrifying punk-folk fire
Joe Martin – Americana storyteller with soul
Nathan Abbott – Bluesy Essex heart with a rock edge
Hosted by Aaron of Essex. 🎤
💡 What made it unique:
Fans in the room — and around the world — could send boosts and zaps (instant Bitcoin micropayments) directly to the artists while they played, thanks to Podcasting 2.0 apps and NOSTR Live. The stream included value time splits, so sats flowed seamlessly to whichever artist was on stage.
💰 Result: Together, we raised 0.0045 BTC (~£375) for the artists on the night.
🙏 Massive thanks to the legends who made it happen:
Azte.co • Fountain.fm • Rajesh Taylor • Adrian Earth • Micky from BTC Essex • Joe Lamb • The Fickle Pickle Club

The valueverse is where artists publish their music to the Bitcoin layer of the internet, allowing fans and listeners to send “boosts” (small Bitcoin payments) directly to them. It’s music in its purest form: peer-to-peer, value-for-value. Artists receive almost all of the value, with no middlemen — just music, connection, and freedom.

A live show dedicated to the Valueverse.
We are decentralising music — without labels, without Spotify, and without permission.
Hosted by Aaron of Essex, Into the Valueverse exists to help bridge the old with the new, connecting the traditional music world with the emerging Value-for-Value and decentralised music ecosystem.
This show is dedicated to everyone who has contributed to the Valueverse and its ecosystem in any way — the artists, podcasters, developers, listeners, broadcasters, tinkerers, supporters and pioneers who are helping to build what comes next.
And this whole show is dedicated to Adam Curry and Dave Jones — the true pioneers of Value-for-Value and Podcasting 2.0.
They have a lot to answer for!
We are also proudly standing on the shoulders of the music podcast pioneers who have continued to push this movement forward:
ChadF, Steven B, Sir Libre, Salty Crayon, Duh Laurien, Mary Kate Ultra, Sir Spencer, Openmike, Nat Cole, Shadrach, Hash Power Music, Phantom Power Music, Oscar Merry, Nick Malster, Dovydas, Mike Neumann, Randy Black, Oystein Berge, Silvie, Matt Finlay, Sir TJ, Jimmy Vee, Kyle M. Bondo, Boo-Bury, Kevin Bae, Sam Means, Heather Larsson and Derek Ross.
This is their music ecosystem. This is the Valueverse. And we're only getting started.
