How Music Will Deliver the First Mainstream Consumer Success in Web3
summary
Claims that music is the on-ramp for mainstream Web3 adoption, backed by specifics: Napster holds the same rights as Spotify, had 85 million users in 1999, and plans a Napster token in 2024 that fans can stake to join artist communities. Product moves include owning playlists via patented tools, selling digital goods and live/virtual experiences, building decentralized music collectives, and running ordinal drops (first drop via catsisback doxyz). Market target: super‑fans ~$4.5B (≈30% of fans); artists can earn beyond $10.99 subscriptions.
