Bitcoin Beats: Empowering Musicians in the Digital Age"

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Violetta as she shares her journey in merging music with Bitcoin and the path to artist sovereignty. She discusses how Bitcoin's ethos of financial freedom and control resonates with her desire to maintain ownership of her music. Violetta's dissatisfaction with the traditional, centralized music industry led her to explore blockchain technology and NFTs on the Ethereum network. Eventually, she discovered the value of preserving music on the Bitcoin blockchain due to its superior security and immutability. The conversation also delves into Bitcoin Ordinals, the 'NFTs of Bitcoin', as well as platforms like Wavlake for musicians. Toward the end, Violetta gives advice to those looking to follow in her footsteps, emphasizing the importance of building a community and considering the cost of putting music on Bitcoin's blockchain.
