Boosting in 333 sats at 01:15:02 for back seat chad

chiming in on the road trip. Make sure he gets his split!

Nice work podcasting on the road! DuhLaurien and MaryKate Ultra are beacons in the #demu world carrying on even while on a road trip!

Henrik Flyman is Ozzy. I love hearing the raw tracks

and nice compositions

https://fountain.fm/episode/4JZqgg47lEFTa9QaARZv

Great track by Justin Lantrip at the end of the episode. He has a folk indie sound kinda like Joe Purdy vibes.

Candr continues to be a great conversation exploring the collision of the Podcasting 2.0 protocol with Bitcoin Lightning payments and Nostr cross-platform capabilities.

Chad, your knowledge of the podcastindex.org origins combined with Reed’s Bitcoin perspective gives a nice contrast.

You brought up baller-boosts of 500,000 sats or even 100,000. These may have been normal at one point for the most popular podcasts, but perhaps we are in a period of normalization where micro-payments are the new norm. I believe these can be the difference that keep start-up creators going. These new protocols have removed a lot of barriers.

Thanks for continuing to shed light on all of this!

New episode of Rollz Radio

I speak with

software engineer, Renaissance Fair performer, and what may be the first ocarina musician in the Value For Value music ecosystem.

We talked about how he discovered V4V, his journey into performing and recording ocarina music, the opportunities available to niche creators in Podcasting 2.0, and how AI is changing both music and software development.

The short clip here highlights one of my favorite moments from the conversation: a discussion on human creativity, AI-generated content, and why understanding still matters.

Haha these bleeps are hilarious! Explicit content here. Censorship at it’s finest.

https://fountain.fm/episode/RX1DxfNe0ZBpENG0A69J

When asked what he would like to experience again for the first time,

‘s response:

“The Bible and The Sixth Sense”. (Basically Jesus and Bruce Willis).

What a fuckin gem. #legend

Shout out

for adding the functionality to V4V music that allows users to listen at 2x during talking and automatically switching to 1x for music. Great feature!

https://fountain.fm/episode/Pm6GI5gepwBd1xOmSi2I

Love it! Was great having you on the show!

I’m honored!

just featured my podcast on the homepage of https://v4vmusic.com

Appreciate it!

New episode is live.

breaks down the contrast between being an independent versus mainstream artist in music today:

“Either you’re in the legacy bubble - massive amounts of streams, tours, industry flow or you’re fully independent, self‑sufficient, building your own world.”

This 30‑second clip hits the heart of the conversation. Full episode links here:

Decentralized music isn’t dead. It’s evolving.

In my convo with

he shares a perspective I think a lot of creators need to hear:

“It’s stagnated, but there are great people working in the background to lower the hurdles so more artists can jump in.”

We talk about the future of V4V, the challenges new artists face, and tools that aim to make decentralized publishing easier. We also listen to Matt’s track Daddy Government ft. Courage is the Cure.

Here’s a 30‑second clip from the episode. The full conversation and V4V music is linked as well.

Candr Podcast is the best podcast on the internet. I’ll paraphrase Reed, “The winds of change are coming for social media. Podcasting is a great form of social media. This is where I share my thoughts on the internet.”

https://fountain.fm/episode/LaAOwMeKGckeYpM2zWoz

You said it, Reed. As a listener of this show, I love to hear you guys read off my boosts. It makes me want to boost more.

https://fountain.fm/episode/LaAOwMeKGckeYpM2zWoz

Cross-app interplay is the future I would like to see. Good call, Chad. In regards to Music… When I use Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal or any commercial streaming music app, i like to “like” albums or even save individual tracks to playlists. Can Nostr be the protocol that connects it all?

https://fountain.fm/episode/LaAOwMeKGckeYpM2zWoz

This episode makes me want to start tracking to tape haha These songs are awesome.

https://fountain.fm/episode/alHFBNjcwkTbKjRxn66T

Creativity thrives in constraint! It’s cool to hear how Christian wrote the songs specifically for the 1 minute video restrictions. Tracking to tape seems to have that same effect as you guys discuss.

https://fountain.fm/episode/alHFBNjcwkTbKjRxn66T

“The Wait Is Over” by The Wolf absolutely SLAPS!

https://fountain.fm/episode/6Q3hbOoIfCQFociURyg3

Decentralized music is artists hosting their own work and getting supported directly by the people who listen.

Clipped a moment from my convo with

+ a sample from her track with John Fletcher “Lady of the Evening”.

The full episode goes into the history, the current state, and what the future of the DeMu space can be.

Featured track is here: https://v4vmusic.com/s/437

This is awesome! Great track, Matt Finlay! This segment rules! Cool to hear a track at the end of the show. Love this!

https://fountain.fm/episode/ogeiYJaW9UdBT3d1aXUd

Chad, you mentioned having the issue sharing my link on X and I’m still having the issue. Working through it. I’ll figure it out.

That said, Nostr has been my home base. It is doing what it is supposed to. When sharing on traditional platforms becomes a problem, Nostr works at least for that part!

https://fountain.fm/episode/ogeiYJaW9UdBT3d1aXUd

Hell ya!!

Fantasy Football is ripe for Nostr. Easy payouts and such. Who wants to join my league? Winner get 50k sats? Sound good. DM me if you want in.

Yes!

Musicians shouldn’t have to give up control to publish their work.

shows how Music Side Project 2.0 lets artists self‑host, own their data, and plug into value‑for‑value with RSS + Lightning + Nostr.

Hip hop used to be a whole spectrum: EPMD, Rakim, KRS‑One, Run‑DMC, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Stetsasonic. Nobody sounded the same. (Not unlike many independent artists producing decentralized music in the V4V movement today).

Jak Da Mak breaks down that shift in this clip and we go deeper in the full episode. The moment the culture disconnected, and why the roots still matter.

Absolutely, I’ve learned a ton about V4V from them! And discovered some great music.

Haha. RE Cheesesteaks: I’m also a lover of this wonderful sandwich. In New England, we call it Steak and Cheese, but it’s a different sandwich. It’s American cheese and chopped steak usually. That said, I am curious if you have ever had a North Shore Roast Neef Sandwich. It hails from the North Shore of Massachusetts and is a butter grilled onion bun, with house made roast beef, usually top round, served “3-way” with James River BBQ sauce and xtra heavy Mayo. Look up the North Shore Beef’s facebook group for more info. If you haven’t tried it, it sounds weird, but it’s really good.

New Rollz Radio episode — this one with

from

Sharing a quick clip where Alex breaks down the simplest onramp for musicians stepping into RSS + V4V. Platforms like Wavlake and Fountain make it easy: Upload. Publish. Earn. In the full episode, he also breaks down the path for the fully self-hosted approach with XML generation platforms like @Music Side Project and Indiesats.

No friction, no gatekeepers. Just music moving over open protocols.

“I bomb atomically Socrates' philosophies and hypotheses can't define how I be dropping these mockeries” - #InspectahDeck #WuTangClan at Madison Square Garden tonight.

So I recorded the next episode of my podcast Rollz Radio (I talk to musicians about their music and life while discussing V4V). This guest is an entrepreneur and has a basic understanding of Bitcoin, but he’s not familiar with Nostr. He wants to put his music on Spotify and all the other platforms for maximum distribution. I meant to tell him about #HomegrownHits.

What else can I tell independent artists like him about decentralized music distribution?

Random question for the #nostrverse. My wife is a total normie. She scorns when I talk about Bitcoin. I’m working on her…

Anyhoo, she has incredible taste for #fashion and #clothing. She uses #esty and #poshmark all the time to sell her stuff.

Could a talented nostr developer provide a better #v4v solution for that type of thing?

Great show!

Fractional-Reserve Banking - I’ve never heard it more eloquently put than in the Bedford Falls Bank Run scene from “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946). George Bailey, played by James Stewart, reasons with a mob of people who all want their money at once. Oh, it’s a waxing poetic. If you haven’t watched the scene, I suggest you do.

Stewart says, "The money's not here. Your money's in Joe's house. That's right next to yours and then the Kennedy house and a hundred others. You're lending them the money to build and then they're going to pay you back as best they can. What are you going to do, foreclose on them?"

I had never really tried to understand previously, just kind of accepted things the way they were. I also never really got anywhere asking people for help in understanding the financial system. After watching that scene, I was almost convinced the system could work. 

Stewart had a way with words. I like Satoshi's words better.

#fiat #selfcustody

Maybe it’s just because I love those tasty little orange mints, but this image amuses me. I never liked the term #orangepill. In fact, I can’t convince anybody of anything. That’s why I don’t directly try anymore to tell people about #bitcoin. I love observing the community on Nostr because it is about implementation of the technology - the layer 2, layer 3 solutions. People just want money to work and then to go about their day.

What has been your approach to talking about Bitcoin to people who matter in your life?

I’m Rollz McGuyver. I’ve been on Primal for a short time, mostly observing passively. Now I’m excited to participate! I just made my first post recently. After learning about Bitcoin, it eventually led me here.

Tbh, Nostr reminds me of the dawn of social media (Facebook in the early days), except this is different for obvious reasons. I feel like this is a community that nurtures and supports people who want to provide value.

It has encouraged me to start a podcast. Really, it’s just an excuse for me to meet and talk to people who share common interests - which are audio production, recording studio, making music… oh yeah, and decentralization protocols that lead to people being appropriately valued for what they do! Nice to meet you!
