Dear Friends! I know I've been quite dormant since leaving The Checkout for a variety of reasons I won't get into. A special thanks to all of you who have enjoyed my content over the years. As most of you know, I've had to make a significant career pivot. There are a lot of different projects I look forward to sharing with you in the future. One those things is happening this weekend in The Garden Room, Saturday, January 13, at 2pm at the Moxy Williamsburg. It's a panel I put together called "Power to the Artists: Reimagining The Music Industry with Blockchain Tech." Join me with @MdCL (Mark de Clive-Lowe), @Pozibelle and @StargateGavin (Gavin Wong) from Sidechain at @NYCWJF Winter Jazzfest as we try to radically envision a new world for creators. winterjazzfest.com/jazz-talks-2024

18/ Circle builds good products and I hold USDC myself. This isn't a post about hoping they collapse. But the decisions they've made around compliance have had real consequences for real people. Nine figures lost from the ecosystem because of repeated inaction across three years, law enforcement requests, private sector requests, and their own infrastructure. The $420M+ figure only accounts for major public cases. The real figure is likely significantly higher. They have every tool and resource available to do better. They just haven't. So I'll leave you with one question: who is Circle actually serving? A US-regulated public company owes it to its users and the broader community to do better than this.

Coming Tuesday, OCTOBER 8 12PM EST on my YouTube channel. POCKET PLUS ONE is a new series featuring one-on-one performances and conversations with some of my favorite musicians.

@natesmithdrums this is the critical question of our time.

been having a number of heart-to-hearts with my music biz colleagues: musicians, managers, execs, etc. the number one question that keeps coming up is: how do we re-value something that has been so profoundly de-valued?

@PennyBritish @CryptoBanter Just follow @marcrebillet — he’s brilliant, and does a many many many awesome live streams. I don’t think Ran ever gave him props once when featuring his music, which I always thought was odd.

The steel pan has a legacy. Jonathan Scales is redefining it (@sarahgeledi @simonrentner - @npr) redef.com/item/65b2cbaab…
