[New Pod] Ideas from the Edge: Music, Discovery, eCash, and Identity with Tony Giorgio fountain.fm/episode/BZEqpFxBFzeLGgZUV177 This was a fun one! @tony and I cover a lot of ground, including: - Music and its role in society: “He who controls the music controls the mind” - Why the ad model for monetizing the Internet is not only a panopticon, but also extremely ineffective - How to find under appreciated long tail Internet content - How to improve Nostr on-boarding for noobs - The role of the curator on Nostr - Permissionless identity creation means evolution can happen much faster - How Tony uses AI - How to live a healthy life with (and without) technology; camping is great - in theory - The balance between contributing to open source and building a company - Lightning Network as the final settlement layer and Nostr Wallet Connect as the async message layer - eCash and why Tony is bullish on Fedimint - Fedimint as its own consensus network - Nostr evolving into identity for the Internet - Nostr as the fire hose of raw data - you can build anything with it - Open source vs. closed AI development
