love music and usually try to support artists, but honestly, sound.xyz and similar platforms feel like dead ends—unless you’re a film producer looking for ambient filler or just want to flex bots. creator tokens might be a better approach, but even that feels pretty meh overall. wdyt? my guess: all the crypto stuff quietly moves under the hood—spotify starts settling payouts in usdc, nobody notices, and nothing really changes for the listener or the artist. maybe fine tuning AI in sound, vocal, or lyrics will become most lucrative…

fc is powerful for artists simply because they have the opportunity to be early and grow large audiences more easily in the long run. plus, anything they do—from clothing to record sales—is much easier, more direct, and frictionless. but nft music makes zero sense.

Spotify is a black box. Artists can’t even upload directly, they’re forced to use distributors, which adds friction and middlemen. I like the idea of music files living on a public blockchain. Audio, credits, and rights would all be transparent, and payments could be automatic. Everything changes if plays are verifiable and can’t be faked. Imagine what becomes possible when all the data is public. Charts could actually be legitimate. NFTs don’t have to be speculative. They can act as digital receipts, proof that you bought a song or album which can be verified by anyone. Or they could let fans actually buy ownership in the rights or earnings of a track. Artists could also use NFTs programmatically for early drops, private tracks, community access, etc. Obviously all of this is not happening tmrw, but it’s fun to think about.

The great music and artists we all love - timeless recordings we’re all still listening to decades later - hasn’t emerged from the onchain experiment. My POV is the absence of live performances and A&R; the former refines the artist and songwriting, the latter records the artist at the perfect moment to capture it.

Every time I see someone do a tokenised IP play, my first question is how do you get enough distribution for the IP so that it’s sustainable for creators to work with you? The conversation often ends in vision docs, zk proofs, and tradeable tokens, without every hearing about things like marketing plans, or tokenomics
