The best way for artists to take full advantage of this ecosystem that's pretty much as it's infancy is to start off by creating a wallet. The next step and what I would recommend that artists do right away is to set up an online platform even an entrepreneur that's where they can actually sell their digital music. So using that scenario I can foresee a future where artists would completely bypass the traditional stores or the traditional streaming platforms in terms of actually having their music and their merchandise being put out there for sales and also how fast they could get paid.
