 [New Pod] Ideas from the Edge: Music, Discovery, eCash, and Identity with Tony Giorgio

https://fountain.fm/episode/BZEqpFxBFzeLGgZUV177 

This was a fun one! @tony and I cover a lot of ground, including:

- Music and its role in society: “He who controls the music controls the mind” 
- Why the ad model for monetizing the Internet is not only a panopticon, but also extremely ineffective
- How to find under appreciated long tail Internet content 
- How to improve Nostr on-boarding for noobs 
- The role of the curator on Nostr
- Permissionless identity creation means evolution can happen much faster
- How Tony uses AI 
- How to live a healthy life with (and without) technology; camping is great - in theory 
- The balance between contributing to open source and building a company 
- Lightning Network as the final settlement layer and Nostr Wallet Connect as the async message layer
- eCash and why Tony is bullish on Fedimint
- Fedimint as its own consensus network 
- Nostr evolving into identity for the Internet 
-  Nostr as the fire hose of raw data - you can build anything with it 
- Open source vs. closed AI development
