Sadly, I just have to keep hodling and work at the fiat mines like everyone else. This is a cultural problem where people are not interested in spending on anything less than fully professional grade and so new projects never get the investment to get there. I wrote an article about it.
If anyone is wondering why I haven't had the time to use the studio mic as much in my videos, that's why.
But, on the flip side, BTC/XMR have objective value. The boomer "saving pennies under the mattress" mentality is a vicious lie when applied to fiat, but they got that mentality from their parents from back when money was still backed by gold. And it works when applied to real money like that. I know that I will not lose the value of what I earn here from inflation the same way I would from USD. So there is still a bright side.
But this is why I had to resort to making music I can make in a single take and on the fly. Because you are right: few of us are making enough (I'm not) to justify the deeper investment into the art.
But fiat Normie channels are no better there IMO. I couldn't make a cent on those. Nostr is still objectively better just for that fact.
