This Week in Music NFTs - June 13
Steady lads. MintSongs, Wobblebug, Bored Brothers, Angelbaby and more. The movement doesn't stop.
The market is… not great.
As someone who built their career during the bear market of 2018 - I promise there is a world of opportunity ahead.
If you’re an artist, map out your survival plan. Recognize that it’s harder than ever to sell a Music NFT for 0.1 ETH.
If you’re a collector, recognize you won’t see a return on your Music NFTs for a very long time, if ever.
Free mints pose an exciting path forward.
What if instead of treating every mint as a “drop”, we started minting for fun.
What if there was no “release date”, no marketing campaign, no Twitter Space, no making a big fuss.
Just mint it.
Put music out there for curators to discover. If we want to make it through the rough, it has to be fun.
Because realistically - no one is making a million dollars overnight anytime soon.
But - if you stay consistent and look back two years from now - I think you’re going to be very happy with the results.
I’ve never been more proud to say I work in web3.
To say I get to spend my days supporting independent artists and finding the next superstar.
This movement is a real force of nature - and you’re right at the source.
A few weeks ago I had the best listening experience of my life.
Yours is right around the corner.
Keep going.
