RE: How Cryptocurrencies and the Blockchain Will Change the World (And How it Changed My Life)

I'm a concert violinist with a big interest in cryptoworld... do you think this kind of coin is gonna revolutionize the classical music world too? you know how "special" environment it is. When I speak with some colleagues that I'm interested in Bitcoin and Altcoins they don't know even what I'm talking about. Only one friend who heard about Bitcoin said" aa that's the money for criminals in the internet? " ;:):) good post and check my music post

Hey travelpleasure, I've been part of the classical world for a good portion of my life (almost got my Ph.D in musicology, in fact, although that's another story) so it's nice to see people in that area take interest in it, too. I have classical performance/composition training, but have decided to focus on improvisation as my vehicle of expression so I'm kind of out of the norm there. :)

As you probably already know, the classical music world tends to be very risk adverse when it comes to technology, and that is a good reason why the medium is struggling for survival and relevance right now. I do understand the resistance on their part a bit, especially since recent efforts made by music startups I can't really say have been really all that effective up until this point. If a few classical musicians become brave enough to take the leap into crypto, though, it could be a very good thing for the style because not too many people have quite taken the plunge yet.

Can you imagine an orchestra with 50+ people splitting its earnings all the way down to the 3rd chair violist sitting somewhere in the middle? Give everyone a stake in the process, and you'll get better, more engaged performances from that alone, imo.
