    Finally read the @AudiusProject white paper. Decentralized Soundcloud w/ fine grained support for artist attribution, content ownership management, and monetization. Tokenized rev sharing, decentralized storage, and DAO governance. Fun stuff 😎http://audius.co

        Also, for the sake of full disclosure, I’m an advisor to Audius. Met the team a while back and thought they were sharp.

        From there whitepaper: "This structure poses an interesting question: why create the new tokens for Audius and Loud? Other cryptoassets already exist that can serve some of the functions of our tokens."

        Not only has the dual token model been used before with products like @Spankchain and other projects with mixed success, their whole valuation thesis requires user and creator adoption. They're going after Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud, and so many others.

        Replying to @eKRENZKE @backus and

        One of the main reasons why the @Spankchain model works so well is that camsites typically have their own shitcoin ecosystem. Their value proposition is revenue share -- why create a token? Congratulations to @AudiusProject for managing to create not one, but TWO shitcoins!

        Anyone can criticize people trying something new. The value is in spotting potential. Your first two replies were fine, but I don't appreciate the third. Can you please either keep it positive or constructive when responding to my tweets or just not respond?

        It's nothing new. You don't have to appreciate it. Feigned positivity won't save a product from being shit.

        Sounds good but did you see the recent news regarding Spotify? They are opening the platform for artists to upload direct. No need for labels or distributors. They are slowly eating the industry. You can sell merch and promote shows too. I’ll keep an eye on this though.

        Yup, pretty interesting. Part of why I like Audius is because of how it sizes up to Soundcloud. A lot more remixing, continuous mixes, and syndication. Seems like a lot more out there experimentation could happen in this space

        There's also this side to Spotify of course, or any other centralized corporation for that matter. The larger public still prefers convenience over privacy but I feel that's slowly shifting.https://qz.com/quartzy/1405477/spotify-is-demanding-family-plan-users-hand-over-gps-data/ …
