Chris Wenske played at HODLWEEN 2024 and is one of the KC Bitcoiners! He’s the Producer of Bitcoin Block Party KC, Bitcoin Party KC and Organizer of Jondo Media events.

He’s got events this weekend in Austin, Texas—Bitcoin Country!

There’s more info Chris gives out on the podcast that maybe he shouldn’t…  

Did we mention Chris is a #V4V musician? I’ve played him before on Radio Detox (Season 1, episode 8 about HODLWEEN 2024). But this time around, we get to hear him tell the story behind his songs. 

We have to talk about v4v, collaboration, the magic of Bitcoin events, building stuff, the Bitcoin circular economy, Air BTC, and much more.

You have Aaron to thank for orange pilling Longy and getting him on Wavlake! But what does that mean? And how did that happen? And…now what? Are they coming to iMerica or what? 

We talk about where these two friends are at in their journey of value-for-value and harnessing the power of Bitcoin. We also talk about Man Like Kweks, wallet splits, some of our favorite songs, the London music scene, and so much more. 

I also decided to do something in radio that we called “tracking an album,” which really just means I’m playing the entire Longy “You’ve Got Yourself EP” because I can. I play the bulk of the Longy songs at the END of the podcast and don’t talk between the songs. I don’t need to talk; Radio Detox is ONLY on podcasting 2.0 apps, so you get chapters and artwork.  

Now, listen and chill! Let the detox begin… We’re bringing rock n’ roll BACK!  

The Longy “You've Got Yourself EP” follows:

This is the HODLWEEN episode of Radio Detox with Liz Parrish, aka Babes Who Bitcoin. We talk about some of her favorite Valueverse songs and play music from the HODLWEEN artists you’ll see in Charlotte on 10-26-24—Chris Wenske, Tatiana Moroz, and JustLoud! 

We also talk about Bitcoin Charlotte, Nostr, Bitcoin adoption, the future of #V4V music, the story behind Roger 9000’s “Satoshi Set Me Free Satoshi ’73,” Liz’s Bitcoin story, 7 am dance parties, onboarding people through markets & culture, Nostr PHX meetups, Culture Shock 25, introducing people to Nostr & Bitcoin, the #V4V music ecosystem, and more! 

The podcast ends with a BLOCK of HODLEWEEN artist music. Because I can. RadioDetox is only in the Valueverse, so you get the song titles, artists, and artwork. I feel I don’t need to intro the songs like an annoying-ass DJ. You’re welcome! ☺️ You’re FREE!

(Btw, I’m aware my audio fritzes from time to time; Dovydas’ audio is fine).

How Dovydas got into podcast tech 

Open podcast standards

The Ainsley Costello Radio Detox EXLESS album special 

PodPing 

Why Dovydas started RSS Blue 

How did artists get paid for playing live at Bands at Bitcoin in Nashville via Tunestr 

How do you pay a band of 5 playing live with wallet splits? 

How does RSS Blue get its split? 

How do you do accounting on sats received as an artist? 

How does RSS Fortune work? 

Could we have a NIP for splits? Nostr splits? How to implement?  

Who listens to Radio Detox? 

RSS & Nostr are complimentary. There don’t need to be two warring factions between RSS/Mastodon and RSS/Nostr. 

The future is cross-app comments!

*In full disclosure, Heather Larson is a paying customer at RSS Blue, where Radio Detox is hosted.

Where is this whole thing going and what are we trying to do with value for value? How does live music fit in? How can independent artists get a piece of V4V? 

For episode 4 of Radio Detox, I’m talking with OpenMike, founder of Tunestr.io. This podcast features (mostly) Phantom Power Music artists and OpenMike has chosen for his guest split to go to Phantom Power Media to support what they’re doing in the Valueverse with independent artists. 

In this episode, we talk about how OpenMike started Tunestr—and why. He also shares his Bitcoin story. You’ll hear what it’s like to work in the traditional music business while operating Tunestr in the Valueverse. He shares what it was like to compete with the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville with Bands at Bitcoin. Since he’s worked with the bands on this podcast, you’ll also hear his insight into what these performers are like and why we love their music. 

What happens when you bring together two sober Bitcoiners who love music & cats? Lots of fun stories and predictions on where the world of V4V, Nostr, and Bitcoin are headed.

Special thanks to Jim Costello & Dovydas of RSS Blue for their help with this episode!

On this 3rd episode of Radio Detox, I talk with Abel James, a blues artist in the Valueverse whose music you can hear on Wavlake, Fountain, and LNBeats. He’s the New York Times Best Selling Author of The Wild Diet, and all around interesting dude. I think he’s the perfect guy to help us detox off the food pyramid…fiat music, and more. 

It’s no secret Bitcoiners don’t follow conventions in money, food, or culture. We like steak, fat, sound money, and Valueverse music. Let’s wrap this all up in a pretty bow with Abel James! I’m excited to share this interview because we talk about some of his favorite experiences in the Valueverse so far. He’s only been here for a couple of months! You wouldn’t believe it when you listen. Maybe he was born to be here, right now, with all the rest of us. 

He’s got a firm grasp of all the problems we have in social media, podcasting, live music, and recorded music. I’m still kinda bummed I haven’t seen him play yet, but he technically was on stage in Nashville for Bands at Bitcoin. He just wasn’t performing. Though he did co-write a song with JustLoud live on stage—which we will get into. 

Abel feels like a brother already because he just kinda popped into view and already has the same friends I do. Perhaps it’s because everyone is so welcoming in this space. I think he’s a great example of how jumping into the world of value-for-value can rapidly change your life as an artist for the better.

P.S. Have fun finding the easter egg in this episode...there's a little tease...

Also, I had a little mic issue and fixed it mostly in post-prod. It happens.

Sara Jade is a great example of an artist who has detoxed off the fiat music system. She shares some great stories about that here. She’s done two live shows in the Valueverse in Phoenix at our Nostr PHX Culture Shock in February, and more recently, during bands at Bitcoin adjacent to the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville. 

Do you have to leave the fiat music system? No. As Sara Jade informs us, you still kinda “have to be everywhere.” But it’s clear which system rewards musicians more—and it ain’t fiat, honey. 

If you are a musician, this episode is a great “V4V 101” college course. No student loans required!
