Indie Music Revolution: Stream, Zap ⚡ & Buy Tickets on Wavlake with Bitcoin
Show Notes
In this episode we dive deep into Wavelake, a decentralized streaming service that lets independent artists keep 90 %+ of their royalties and lets fans tip songs with Bitcoin (sats). We compare it with the old record‑store era, explain how you can listen, boost, and even buy tickets without middlemen, and show how Maple AI (our privacy‑first LLM) helps you plan the show. 👉 Why watch? Learn how to stream & download music DRM‑free. See a live demo of boosting tracks with sats. Get the step‑by‑step guide for artists uploading music and setting up revenue splits. Explore the ticket‑sale feature that bypasses Live Nation & Ticketmaster. Discover how Maple AI protects your data while giving you a ChatGPT‑like experience.
