Sam Means is bringing the DIY spirit of punk rock to Bitcoin.Means, co-founder of Wavlake, a music streaming platform that employs both Bitcoin’s Lightning Network and Nostr, has been innovating in the music industry since the early 2000s. From promoting local shows to helping manage his own band as it toured the world to running a major artist merchandise business, Means has put in the work and learned more than a handful of lessons along the way.Now, he’s taken those lessons and combined them with what he’s learned from his ten years of experience in the Bitcoin space to help create Wavlake, a music streaming platform that cuts out the middleman, allowing fans to stream sats to directly to their favorite musicians. Wavlake is a counter to Spotify, well-known for hardly paying many of the artists featured on its platform.
