Meanwhile, other pressing issues are barely mentioned: • Mental health support for artists and crew • Addressing sexual harassment and discrimination in the industry • Sustainable touring practices in the face of climate change Is this strategy really setting NSW up to be a "global music powerhouse"? Or is it just a remix of the same old tune? Put this out; let the independents have a sigh of relief that there is support... Keep the conglomerates happy to continue ticking along making their millions of fans?

But here's the kicker: Major labels account for 65% of the market, leaving indies fighting for scraps. Streaming payouts heavily favor top artists, with the bottom 98% earning just $12 per month on average. NSW-based artists made up only 9.2% of the top 10,000 streamed in Australia just last year. The government talks about "championing NSW music," but where's the plan to address these systemic issues? Their proposed NSW Music Prize ($160k total) sounds nice..but come on. It's a drop in the ocean. For context, the average cost to record and promote an album is around $250,000 (estimate).

The more I look into the NSW initiative to bring back live entertainment... the more wary / concerned I am about the government's outlook in comparison to the real issues that are being faced by the industry... Here's another one I found... The strategy boasts about NSW being home to 50% of Australia's record labels. Impressive, right?

In a world where people continue to talk about crypto ai agents, memecoins and pump.fun's shameless streaming feature that brings out the worse in us... I am still adamant and extremely bullish on a world beyond 'fast gains' and 'cheap tricks' to build wealth. Consumer crypto is where it's at. It's not currency. it's connection. We can democratize access. We can leverage blockchain towards authentication We can empower people to take risks on wild ideas that just might change the world. This to me, is meaningful technology. Where innovation can meet integrity. And most importantly, is sustainable.

Fan engagement isn’t just likes and shares. It’s more than a simple math equation like 1+1. I believe that engagement should be about more than just counting interactions. It’s the start of something special. It's about artists and event organizers giving fans the content they crave and creating ways to value experiences that matter. That's why at @allaccessio , we're all in on questing. Imagine this: fans pick their own quests and get involved in unique streams of content. And guess what? The rewards they choose shape their experience, letting creators tailor more personal interactions. So, attending an event? It’s more than that—it's stepping into a story you help write. Fans aren't just bystanders; they're essential parts of the adventure with their favorite artists.

Oasis aren’t doing dynamic pricing for their US tour… This tells us 2 things. 1. Dynamic pricing isn’t the only ‘solution’ and isn’t a necessity of high demand. 2. Fan feedback makes a difference. Artists have the power to do the right thing Fans have the power to put pressure on them to do so. The only reason the band are walking back on dynamic pricing is because of the anger from fans who bought tickets for the UK and Ireland shows. We CAN make a difference. We CAN drive positive change.

Realised that over the weekend I schedule my emails out so that my colleagues receive them on Monday. In the beginning I was assuring myself that it's because I respect my colleagues and want them to have their downtime I've slowly realised that it's actually because I don't want my colleagues to think I'm a workaholic. Sad.

The year is 2026. Crypto is cool again and people are using the first generation of usable onchain apps. Investors finally realize none of this works without real people using these products. Real people have a leg up on speculators because they actually use them. A crypto consumer app reaches $1b. Do you feel it, anon?

Listening about pop-cities as experiments at @balajis.eth #networkstateSG I'm pretty sure burning man is the longest running pop-up city experiment ever.

How do you give fans the worst possible ticketing experience? Look at what happened to Oasis fans last weekend. 1. Fans spent hours waiting in line to buy tickets. 2. When they finally got ticket options, they were given a short window to buy the tickets they were offered. 3. Fans were pushed to pay well over twice the price for tickets. This isn’t a new thing, the Oasis incident has just brought it into focus. Fans are being ripped off, they’re having an awful experience, and no one seems to be doing anything about it. Why? Because Ticketmaster and LiveNation are making lots of money and they know they can get away with it. The big companies don’t care enough to change. The artists don’t know any better and their management makes most decisions for them. And the fans are forced to pay through the nose because they’re passionate. The system doesn’t work and it’s not fair. We’ve let monopolies have too much power over live entertainment for too long.

Thanks, Sony and Sota Watanabe for believing in what we do. We cannot wait to give power back to people who matter in live entertainment - the fans. Big things are coming!

Sony has launched its blockchain, Soneium, and… @allaccessio is a part of it! This is huge news for us. We’re so excited that Sony thinks what we’re doing is cool enough to approach us and ask us to be a part of this project. All Access has always believed in the power of blockchain. And when Sony has over 900 million devices in use, there's so much potential in this collaboration. We see a future where fans can showcase their fandom on-chain and use these perks for elevated experiences at concerts and music festivals. Soneium’s mission is: “Aiming for a world where Web3 use cases are a part of daily life.” So we get why they reached out to us. This is exactly what we’re aiming to do for the live music space - using web3 technology to enrich and improve real-world experiences. This isn’t about doing web3 for the sake of it. It’s about finding real value and building the tools to make effective solutions that actually improve our day-to-day lives.
