009 - Decentralized Music, Homegrown Hits, & the Future of V4V - A Conversation with DuhLaurien

Episode Summary

Few people have been closer to the evolution of Decentralized Music (DeMu) than DuhLaurien, co‑host of Homegrown Hits and long‑time contributor to the DeMu movement. In this episode of Rollz Radio, we talk about self‑hosted music, Podcasting 2.0, Bitcoin, Lightning, and how artists are reclaiming ownership in ways that were impossible just a few years ago. This conversation traces the origins of decentralized music, the perfect storm of technologies that made it possible, and where things are heading next.
