@moonpay is holding us hostage @guildtogether - we build on their platform, pay their saas fees, and get absolutely ZERO response from their 2 support emails, DM, chat support. Etc. if you want web3 to win, do your job

alright, now that Music NFTs aren't securities we can all start buying them again I know we were all just waiting for that clarity ✅

Finally got a chance to catch up with OG Ron C in person last week at ETH Denver. He's one of the key figures keeping Houston’s chopped legacy alive and an early part of the OVO ecosystem, aka Drake's label. Him and I have been chatting about some plays we're looking at together, but our busy schedules made it difficult to find the time to connect. There's some interesting things he's working at in Web3 that I'm excited to be able to speak more about soon.

creator x crypto has been tried many times and counted out but it just needs the right timing, founder, and product to go mainstream real life backing could make it work some builder ideas: Creator Owned Markets, Creator Vaults, Creator Price Feeds

@guildtogether Relying on a single platform is risky. True ownership comes from controlling your rights and revenue.

Every music creator depends on platforms, algorithms, and middlemen. One algorithm change = your income gone. That’s not ownership. Guild is building on-chain rights + automated revenue splits so creators control their upside. What platform dependency hurt you most?

AI can make songs, but it cant tell YOUR story. Leverage it to help not steal, and leverage #blockchain to own your IP, audience and the platform itself. @PhillipRather

@blockchainbrett We’re a team from Meta that has built the creator software infrastructure needed to onboard and keep them, and have creator/fan and platform utility tokens built ready for TGE. Adding prediction (vs say investing in future royalties) could be the bridge to build. Let’s chat

A platform for fans to express their belief in how well the creator can perform and for those to help accrue value back to the creators tokens
Brett Shear@blockchainbrett

For creator coins, over the long term people will realize that tokens can capture the value of what they represent. That as NFTs or Creator Coins represent someone or something of cultural significance and has attention they will capture that value. As there are success stories this becomes more true and has a snowball effect. Once Xcopy had breakout sales it helped realize the whole early crypto art scene can do well. If Daniel Allan were to become one of the largest music artists in the world then his early Music NFTs would become very valuable. But in the short to medium term creator success doesn’t map or correlate very well to the value of those representative artifacts, the NFTs or Coins. Creator coins are more liquid than NFTs but still have the problem of value not being assigned for what it represents and tracking real life success. Once a Daniel Allan is so massive, and early Music NFTs become even more valuable than they were, then emerging artists wont need to wait as long for major success in their careers to be represented in the performance of their tokens. But in the meantime, and as an additive over the long term, it would make sense to give a platform for fans to express their belief in how well the creator can perform and for those to help accrue value back to their representative tokens.

I’m proud to announce we’ve raised $2M in “pre-token” funding and launched @guildtogether in public beta. We believe the total addressable market isn’t starving artists...it’s human creativity itself. Thanks to @CapitalFactory @0xPolygon and all the others who have supported us!

Apple didn’t gracefully change. They got legally forced to stop taxing startups and SMB's 30% just for having a “Buy” button. You can now route payments outside the App Store. NFTs are allowed too.

@Cooopahtroopa I agree these recent developments and cycle are just piling on the bad images. But. No one has released any real tools! A token gated song with nothing else isn’t going to cut it regardless of the grifting.

Crypto pushes away anyone with an existing following who’s new to the space. Often for good reason but I think we fail to realize how hard it is to navigate and that it takes a few years to really get the hang of what’s going on here. Then you have people who have been in crypto for years trying to educate bigger names and they too get labeled as grifters for trying to do the impossible task of onboarding net new creators. So we end up in this place where neither side is happy. Creators think crypto is a scam and crypto people think new creators are grifters. And yet we wonder why 99% of the world still has yet to give the space a chance… We need better ways for creators to monetize their work onchain without being immediately rejected or burned out.
