Independent musicians and artists are increasingly relying on the internet to reach their audiences and earn money. Investing in independent music is a great way to support artists, learn about industry trends and emerging technologies, and potentially make a return on your investment. This article will discuss why it is beneficial to invest in independent music and provide tips on how to go about it, if you are an audiophile, like me.

NFT’s and AI can be used to complement web3 social media. For example NFT’s can be used for access to exclusive content, voting rights, raising money to fund projects, the ability to create and own digital art, and trade with other users for collectibles, ticketing etc. When you combine this with social media and AI, it is even more powerful. With AI tools for creating images and blogging for example, almost anyone can be more productive and creative. So far the AI is mostly being used for text content and images, but will soon we will be able to use it for videos, sound and music as well. People are experimenting with new types of creative expression, and value based social interactions which were not possible before. I will give you some examples of “nextgen” social platforms that I have been using and evaluating.

Blogging is a popular way for people to express their thoughts, share ideas, and connect with others. As the internet has evolved, so too have blogging platforms. New technologies, such as web3 and artificial intelligence (AI), are being used to create more advanced and efficient ways to blog.

Introduction

I learned about AI tools for generating images from a text prompt, only a few days ago so I had to try it out. I didn't realize that these tools had progressed so much in the past few months. It turns out that similar technology can also be used for other things like creating videos from text or speech. Also things like writing content for web sites or blog posts. Maybe I will try that for a future blog post. In the mean time, I have been using the tools below to create various images which I have converted to NFT collections, banners, avatars etc. In fact the image that I attached to this blog post was generated with one of the tools. You have to try it out to get an idea about it works, and how easy and fast it is. Its just going to improve further and the possibilities are endless.

I first got into exploring blockchain/smart contract dapps several years ago after learning about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin was a good start, but I felt that there were a lot more interesting use cases with Ethereum and programmable money and to me they seemed like a huge leap forward from “digital gold”. I found that Bitcoin doesn’t really make a good currency (more about stablecoins in subsequent posts), and I don’t consider myself a gold investor either nor a speculator. I wanted to be able to do more with blockchains other than trading, such as earning yield for example. I am much more interested in the type of projects that are being built on blockchains that were designed for more than speculation. So I decided to explore beyond Bitcoin, and started learning ethereum. I found that eth had a lot of potential, but wasn’t quite ready for mainstream adoption.
