RE: Musicoin Hosts World’s First Blockchain-Enabled DJ Mix

in #music7 years ago

Actually here is some information that is not in the article... The yello picture of the DJ that says, "Technology must be used to liberate the individual" has a small crypto-related history, and was the reason I chose to use it to represent this mix... The drawing was made in 1993, for a rave in Pittsburgh, PA called "Hi-Voltage" At the time I had a record store called Turbo-Zen, and it was one of our first parties. Well, the flyer was quite popular and someone made a t-shirt of the graphics on the flyer, and sold them at the show. At that party was what was to become a famous Bitcoin miner, Dan Mross from the documentary "The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin" he had gotten one of the shirts there and then talked about it as a saying he remembered at the beginning of the film. So, strangely this flyer, made 16 years before Bitcoin would exist, played a role in what may one day be seen as our financial and social liberation (if we are wise enough to use it that way). Because I felt that the very first Dj Mix governed by a smart contract was an extension of that idea, I used it to represent this mix.
