NATIONAL ANTHEMS. SPORTS CHANTS. RELIGIOUS RITUAL. A MIXTAPE FOR YOUR HIGH SCHOOL CRUSH. FOLK SONGS AROUND A CAMPFIRE. MUSIC IS DEEPLY LINKED TO MEMORY & FUNCTIONS AS A MAP TO HELP US NAVIGATE OUR INNER LIVES. THROUGH THIS PRISM WE BETTER UNDERSTAND OURSELVES AND WITH ANY LUCK, WE FEEL MORE DEEPLY CONNECTED TO THE WORLD & PEOPLE AROUND US.
THE MOST ACCURATE PREDICTIVE FACTOR AROUND THE SUCCESS OF MOST MEDIA ONCHAIN HAS LITTLE TO DO WITH THE MEDIA ITSELF. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT ALL GOOD MEDIA IS UNSUCCESSFUL OR THAT ALL SUCCESSFUL MEDIA IS BAD. IT SIMPLY MEANS THAT SUCCESS AND QUALITY OF MEDIA ARE TYPICALLY UNCORRELATED. THIS IS SIMILAR TO MANY TRADITIONAL MEDIA DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS BUT DIFFERENT IN THAT WE HAVE AN ACCURATE AND TRANSPARENT ACCOUNT OF TRANSACTIONS SURROUNDING THE MEDIA ALONG WITH THE ONCHAIN IDENTITIES OF ALL INVOLVED PARTIES.
THE SUCCESS OF MEDIA ONCHAIN IS OFTEN DETERMINED BY THE CHARACTER AND SIZE OF THE ONCHAIN NETWORK AROUND THE CREATOR. SOCIALLY ACTIVE, CONNECTED AND LOUD CREATORS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SECURE SIGNIFICANT VALUATIONS FOR THEIR WORK WITH VAGUE VALUE PROPOSITIONS AS LONG AS THESE GESTURES WERE CONNECTED TO A POWERFUL AND ACTIVE DECENTRALIZED NETWORK.
MUSIC WANTS TO BE HEARD. IT WANTS TO BE MIXED WITH OTHER RECORDS. IT WANTS TO BE HELD AND ADDED TO A MIXTAPE OR AT LEAST A PLAYLIST. MUSIC DOES NOT WANT TO BE REFERENCED AS THE ANIMATION URI OF AN ERC-1155 CONTRACT. TOKENIZED MUSIC HAS FELT UNCOMFORTABLE & ILLIQUID IN THIS MEDIUM. LIMITING MUSIC NFTS TO NON-FUNGIBLE TOKENS THAT REFERENCE AN AUDIO FILE IS A NARROW VIEW OF THE MEDIUM.
$FWB IS A TOKENIZED DISCORD COMMUNITY THAT PROVIDES CULTURAL RESOURCES FOR THOSE AT LEAST SEMI-LITERATE IN BOTH BLOCKCHAIN AND CULTURE. IT WAS BUILT BY A SQUAD WITH DEEP RELATIONSHIPS & EXPERIENCE IN DIFFERENT SECTORS OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.
ALTHOUGH FWB HAS (WISELY) NEVER IDENTIFIED AS A MUSIC NFT, I BELIEVE THAT $FWB IS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL EXPRESSION OF TOKENIZED MUSIC & COMMUNITY. THIS COMMUNITY HAS ENDURED AND GROWN FINDING ITS MOST SUCCESSFUL CURRENT ITERATION IN AN ANNUAL FESTIVAL IN THE IDLEWILD MOUNTAINS. THIS YEAR I WILL BE AT HOME TAKING CARE OF MY NEWBORN DAUGHTER, BUT IF YOU CAN, I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU MAKE YOUR WAY TO FEST.
