"The time has come for starving artists to finally make real money from their music. "
It take a whole lot more than just cutting out the middleman in the music industry to become successful. Takes a huge marketing, promotion and production budget. Videos aren't cheap, travel is not cheap, studio time with major producers ... not cheap. A pool of funds is still necessary to provide this backing to ANY artist.
This is what has me interested in VOCAL. I've been an artist manager and musician for 20 years. Still very well connected. They've touched on supporting the artist long-term. This is key. The ability to crowd-fund is also good. Hopefully all this means the artist will have the type of support i've mentioned.
All the best to Vocal
Yea lot of money if you want to make large artists interested in a cryptocoin. Try contacting Bieber to have him support Biebercoin BRC, likely he never even heard of it and I don't see any effort to let it happen. Besides he wouldn't even know who created the coin, if he could be trusted etc. I don't see any harm but like the Coinyecoin they may be afraid for a lawsuit.
