Radio Detox: Love Is The Cure with Ivy Lumi
Mar 701:03:47Tap to summarizeHeather Larson sits down with Ivy Lumi, musician, Bitcoiner, and podcaster, for a conversation about music, self-love, and why love and Bitcoin might just be on the same frequency. Ivy shares the story behind her debut EP, the making of her first-ever music video for the single WoWoWow (shot in Hong Kong after Bitcoin Asia), and how a period of profound personal loss became the spark that launched her music career. From songs inspired by Bitcoin conference cities to a Geyser Fund campaign built around physical collectors items, Ivy is building something rare: art that lives fully in the value-for-value ecosystem and speaks to everyone, Bitcoiner or not.

Transcribe →Radio Detox Episode 4: OpenMike
Aug 26, 2024Tap to summarizeWhere is this whole thing going and what are we trying to do with value for value? How does live music fit in? How can independent artists get a piece of V4V? For episode 4 of Radio Detox, I’m talking with OpenMike, founder of Tunestr.io. This podcast features (mostly) Phantom Power Music artists and OpenMike has chosen for his guest split to go to Phantom Power Media to support what they’re doing in the Valueverse with independent artists. In this episode, we talk about how OpenMike started Tunestr—and why. He also shares his Bitcoin story. You’ll hear what it’s like to work in the traditional music business while operating Tunestr in the Valueverse. He shares what it was like to compete with the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville with Bands at Bitcoin. Since he’s worked with the bands on this podcast, you’ll also hear his insight into what these performers are like and why we love their music. What happens when you bring together two sober Bitcoiners who love music & cats? Lots of fun stories and predictions on where the world of V4V, Nostr, and Bitcoin are headed.
