Ben Wehrman Podcast #104 Aaron (Bitcoin Essex) - Building The Decentralized Music Future with Bitcoin and Value-4-Value
This was a real treasure of a conversation.
Aaron (known as BTC Essex on Nostr/X) is doing excellent work bringing new artists into our crazy little world of Bitcoin, Nostr, and Value-4-Value, including the incredibly-talented UK musician Longy, whose music I sprinkled around the episode for you to enjoy!
Check out all the links below to follow & zap Longy, as well as Aaron's project "BTC Essex" and all the important work he's doing.

We spent most of the first half of the episode chatting about Aaron's story. If you're a musician or other artist looking to dive straight into the Value-4-Value discussion, skip to 1:11:54.
Also, there's a mild ringing noise at some parts in the audio. I did my best to edit it out, but you can still hear it occasionally. Sorry about that.
