LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

September 25, 2024

Heather Cox Richardson

Sep 26, 2024

In 2004 a senior advisor to President George W. Bush famously told journalist Ron Suskind that people like Suskind lived in “the reality-based community.” They believed people could find solutions to problems through careful study of discernible reality. But, the aide continued, Suskind’s worldview was obsolete. “That’s not the way the world really works anymore,” the aide said. “We are an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality— judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.” 

We appear to be in a moment when the reality-based community is challenging the ability of the MAGA Republicans to create their own reality. 

Central to the worldview of MAGA Republicans is that Democrats are socialists who have destroyed the American economy. Trump calls Harris a “radical-left. Marxist, communist, fascist” and insists the economy is failing. 

In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, today, Harris laid out her three-pillar plan for an “opportunity economy.” She explained that she would lower costs by cutting taxes for the middle class, cutting the red tape that stops housing construction, take on corporate landlords who are hiking rental prices, work with builders and developers to construct 3 million new homes and rentals, and help first-time homebuyers with $25,000 down payment assistance. She also promised to enact a federal ban on corporate price gouging on groceries and to cap prescription drug prices by negotiating with pharmaceutical companies. 

Harris said she plans to invest in innovation by raising the deduction for startup businesses from its current $5,000 to $50,000 and providing low- or no-interest loans to small businesses that want to expand. Her goal is to open the way for 25 million new small businesses in her first four years, noting that small businesses create nearly 50% of private sector jobs in the U.S. 

Harris plans to create manufacturing jobs of the future by investing in biomanufacturing and aerospace, remaining “dominant in AI, quantum computing, blockchain, and other emerging technologies, and expand[ing] our lead in clean energy innovation and manufacturing.” She vowed to see that the next generation of breakthroughs—“from advanced batteries to geothermal to advanced nuclear—are not just invented, but built here in America by American workers.” Investing in these industries means strengthening factory towns, retooling existing factories, hiring locally, and working with unions. She vowed to make jobs available for skilled workers without college degrees and to cut red tape to reform permitting for innovation.

“I am a capitalist,” she said. “I believe in free and fair markets. I believe in consistent and transparent rules of the road to create a stable business environment. And I know the power of American innovation.” She said she would be pragmatic in her approach to the economy, seeking practical solutions to problems and taking good ideas from wherever they come. 

“Kamala Harris, Reagan Democrat!” conservative pundit Bill Kristol posted on social media after her speech. 

For his part, Trump has promised an across-the-board tariff of 10% to 20% that billionaire Mark Cuban on the Fox News Channel called “insane” and Quin Hillyer of the Washington Examiner warned “would almost certainly cause immense price hikes domestically, goad other countries into retaliating, and perhaps set off an international trade war” that could “wreck the economy.” Cuban then told Jake Tapper of CNN that Trump’s promise to impose 10% price controls on credit card interest rates and price caps is “Socialism 101.” 

Yesterday, more than 400 economists and high-ranking U.S. policymakers endorsed Harris, and today, the members of former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley’s presidential leadership teams in Michigan, Iowa, and Vermont announced they would be supporting Harris, in part because of Trump’s economic policies.

While Trump insisted yet again today that “the economy is doing really, really badly,” the stock market closed at a record high today for the fourth day in a row. 

In other economic news, for nine years, Trump has said he will find a cheaper and better way to provide healthcare to Americans than the Affordable Care Act, although on September 10 he admitted he has only the “concepts of a plan.” Today the Treasury Department released statistics showing that 4.2 million small business owners have coverage through the ACA. Losing that protection would impact 618,590 small business owners in Florida, 450,010 in California, 423,790 in Texas, and 168,070 in Georgia.

Trump has made a claim that crime has risen dramatically under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris central to his campaign rhetoric. The opposite is true. Two days ago, on September 23, the Federal Bureau of Investigation released its official report on crime statistics from 2023 compared with 2022. Those statistics showed that murder and non-negligent manslaughter fell by 11.6%. Rape fell by 9.4%. Aggravated assault fell by 2.8%. Robbery fell by 0.3%. Hate crimes fell by 0.6%. 

Central to the worldview of MAGA Republicans is that immigration weakens a nation and that immigrants increase crime and disease. First Republican vice presidential nominee Ohio senator J.D. Vance and then Trump himself repeatedly advanced the lie that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, are eating their neighbors’ pets and bringing disease. 

Clergy members from multiple faiths have asked politicians to stop their lies about Haitian immigrants, and today the leader of Haitian Bridge Alliance, a nonprofit organization that represents the Haitian community, filed a charges against Trump and Vance for disrupting public services, making false alarms, telecommunications harassment, and aggravated menacing and complicity.  

Immediately, Representative Clay Higgins (R-LA), who in the past supported Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke and filmed a selfie inside a gas chamber at Auschwitz, posted on social media: “Lol. These Haitians are wild. Eating pets, vudu, nastiest country in the western hemisphere, cults, slapstick gangsters…but damned if they don’t feel all sophisticated now, filing charges against our President and VP. All these thugs better get their mind right and their *ss out of our country before January 20th.” 

After an outcry, Higgins took the post down. According to House speaker and fellow Louisiana Republican Mike Johnson, who called Higgins a “very principled man,” Higgins took it down after he “prayed about it.” Johnson seemed unconcerned about his colleague’s racism, saying, “we believe in redemption around here.” 

But in a statement, House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) called Higgins’s statement “vile, racist and beneath the dignity of the United States House of Representatives. He must be held accountable for dishonorable conduct that is unbecoming of a Member of Congress. Clay Higgins is an election-denying, conspiracy-peddling racial arsonist who is a disgrace to the People’s House. This is who they have become. Republicans are the party of Donald Trump, Mark Robinson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Clay Higgins and Project 2025. The extreme MAGA Republicans in the House are unfit to govern.” 

On Monday, Dan Gooding of Newsweek reported that although Trump said on September 18 he would go to Springfield, he will not. Republican Ohio governor Mike DeWine had warned that the local community would not welcome a visit from the former president. 

Republican politicians and candidates, including Trump, embraced North Carolina gubernatorial candidate and current lieutenant governor Mark Robinson, who trumpeted the extremists’ MAGA narrative. The September 19 revelation by CNN reporters Andrew Kaczynski and Em Steck that Robinson had boasted on a pornography website that he considers himself a “black NAZI!”, would like to reinstate slavery, and would like to own some people himself, and shared the sexual kinks in which he engaged with his wife’s sister prompted most of his campaign staff to resign. 

Andrew Egger of The Bulwark reported today that on a different online forum, Robinson called for a political assassination as well as making racist attacks on entertainer Oprah Winfrey and former president Barack Obama. Robinson has called all the information released about him “false smears” and has said “[n]ow is not the time for intra-party squabbling and nonsense,” but declined help tracking down those he claims falsified his online comments. Today, multiple media outlets reported that top staff in Robinson’s government office are stepping down.  

Reality hit hard this week in Texas, too, where U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez yesterday approved the auctioning off of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’s media business, the aptly-named InfoWars. Jones insisted that the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting  was a “hoax” designed to whip up support for gun restrictions, and that the grieving parents were played by “crisis actors.” Juries found Jones guilty of defaming the families of the murdered children and causing them emotional distress. 

The auction of his property will enable the families to begin to collect on the more than $1 billion the jurors determined Jones owed them for his reprehensible and harmful behavior.

Crypto 101: Everything You Need to Know About Bitcoin and NFTs

Cryptocurrency and NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) have taken the world by storm, but for many, these concepts are still a mystery. Whether you're interested in investing, understanding blockchain technology, or simply curious about the digital revolution, this Crypto 101 guide breaks down everything you need to know about Bitcoin and NFTs—two of the most talked-about topics in the world of digital finance.

1. What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is the first decentralized digital currency created by an anonymous person (or group) known as Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments (like the US dollar or euro), Bitcoin operates on a peer-to-peer network and is not controlled by any central authority, such as a bank or government.

Key Features of Bitcoin:

Decentralized: Bitcoin transactions are verified by a network of computers (called "nodes") around the world, rather than a central bank.

Blockchain Technology: Bitcoin transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, making it secure and transparent.

Limited Supply: There will only ever be 21 million bitcoins in existence, which helps create scarcity and can drive value.

Bitcoin can be used to buy goods and services, traded for other currencies, or held as an investment. Its value can fluctuate significantly, which has made it both an attractive investment and a high-risk asset.

2. How Does Bitcoin Work?

Bitcoin operates through blockchain technology, a decentralized system that records every transaction made with Bitcoin.

Mining: Bitcoin transactions are confirmed by miners, who use powerful computers to solve complex mathematical problems. Once a problem is solved, the miner adds the transaction to the blockchain, earning new bitcoins as a reward (this process is called "mining").

Wallets: To store Bitcoin, you need a crypto wallet, which is a software application that allows you to send, receive, and store your Bitcoin securely. Wallets use private and public keys—essentially digital passwords that protect your funds.

Security: Bitcoin transactions are secured using cryptography, which makes it difficult to counterfeit or reverse. Once a transaction is recorded on the blockchain, it is nearly impossible to alter.

3. What is an NFT?

NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are unique digital assets stored on a blockchain. Unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum (which are fungible, meaning each unit is identical), NFTs are non-fungible, meaning each one is distinct and cannot be replaced by another.

NFTs are used to represent ownership of digital art, music, videos, collectibles, and more. They have gained massive popularity in recent years, especially in the art world, where artists and creators can sell their work directly to buyers in digital form.

Key Features of NFTs:

Uniqueness: Each NFT has a unique digital signature that makes it one-of-a-kind. No two NFTs are exactly the same.

Ownership: When you purchase an NFT, you're purchasing a certificate of ownership for a specific digital asset. While the file itself (like a digital image) can be copied, the NFT proves that you own the original.

Smart Contracts: NFTs are often built on the Ethereum blockchain and use smart contracts—self-executing contracts with the terms directly written into the code. These smart contracts can include royalty payments to creators whenever the NFT is resold.

4. How Do NFTs Work?

NFTs are bought and sold on marketplaces like OpenSea, Rarible, and SuperRare. To buy an NFT, you'll need to set up a digital wallet and purchase cryptocurrency, usually Ethereum (ETH), as it’s the most widely used blockchain for NFTs.

Minting: This is the process of creating an NFT. When someone creates a digital piece of content (like art), they can "mint" it as an NFT on a blockchain, making it verifiably unique.

Buying & Selling: NFTs are bought and sold through auctions or fixed-price listings. When you buy an NFT, the ownership is transferred to your wallet.

Royalties: Many NFTs are programmed to pay creators royalties every time they are resold, providing a new revenue stream for artists and creators.

5. Why Are NFTs So Popular?

NFTs have exploded in popularity due to their ability to revolutionize the art, gaming, and entertainment industries. Here are a few reasons why NFTs are so attractive:

Digital Art Revolution: Artists now have a way to sell digital creations and ensure they retain ownership. Buyers can prove they own original works of art in the digital space.

Scarcity and Collectibility: NFTs provide a way to create digital scarcity, which makes items more collectible and valuable, much like rare trading cards or limited-edition merchandise.

Access & Community: NFTs often come with perks like access to exclusive content, events, or online communities, creating a sense of belonging and value for collectors.

6. Risks and Challenges of Bitcoin & NFTs

While both Bitcoin and NFTs offer exciting opportunities, they come with risks and challenges:

Bitcoin Risks:

Volatility: The value of Bitcoin can be highly volatile, meaning it can experience dramatic price swings in a short period.

Regulatory Uncertainty: Governments around the world are still figuring out how to regulate cryptocurrencies, which could impact their value and use.

Security: While Bitcoin transactions are secure, cryptocurrency exchanges and wallets can be vulnerable to hacking or fraud.

NFT Risks:

Speculation: Many NFT buyers are purchasing them as speculative investments, hoping to sell at a higher price later. This can create a bubble-like environment.

Environmental Impact: The energy consumption of the blockchain networks used to mint and trade NFTs (especially Ethereum) has raised concerns about their environmental footprint.

Value Uncertainty: Not all NFTs will hold their value over time, and some may become worthless if the market crashes or interest fades.

7. How to Get Started with Bitcoin & NFTs

For Bitcoin:Buy Bitcoin: You can buy Bitcoin on cryptocurrency exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, or Kraken using fiat currency (like USD).Store Bitcoin: Set up a digital wallet to securely store your Bitcoin. Popular wallets include Trust Wallet and Ledger.Start Small: If you're new to Bitcoin, consider starting with a small investment and learning about the technology as you go.

For NFTs:Set Up a Digital Wallet: You'll need a wallet that supports Ethereum (e.g., MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet).Purchase Ethereum: Buy Ethereum on an exchange like Coinbase or Gemini and transfer it to your wallet.Browse Marketplaces: Explore NFT marketplaces like OpenSea or Rarible to find NFTs you're interested in. Ensure you’re comfortable with the market and potential risks before making a purchase.

Conclusion: The Future of Crypto and NFTs

Bitcoin and NFTs are reshaping the digital landscape in 2024, providing new ways to invest, create, and interact with digital assets. Whether you’re drawn to Bitcoin’s potential as a digital store of value or intrigued by the world of NFTs and digital ownership, both offer unique opportunities in the evolving world of cryptocurrency.

Remember to approach both Bitcoin and NFTs with caution, do your research, and only invest what you can afford to lose. The crypto world is still relatively new, and its volatility makes it crucial to stay informed and educated.

Ready to dive into the world of Bitcoin and NFTs? Start by exploring, experimenting, and staying curious about the potential of this exciting digital frontier! Do You Know KVR?

NFT 101: una introducción al funcionamiento y contexto

Del colapso de información y cabos dispersos que implica mencionar la categoría “arte y tecnología”, lo que más resuena posiblemente sean los NFT. Tal es así, que su uso fue acatado tanto desde el Centre Pompidou (Museo Nacional de Arte Moderno) en París, que por primera vez adquirió una serie de NFTs de autorxs francesxs e internacionales como parte de su patrimonio, hasta la Secretaría de Turismo de Rosario, que introdujo la tecnología como parte de su oferta de acceso a paseos. En todos los niveles y universos, iniciando por el arte pero ya expandido a otros campos también, los tokens no fungibles (non fungible token, de ahí viene la sigla) causan estragos en todo el mundo.

A esta altura, la mayoría de lxs interesadxs estamos ya más o menos al tanto de qué es un NFT, pero para quien no, básicamente es un token, un código digital, único e irrepetible, que se le asigna a una cosa en particular (imágenes, videos, documentos, texto, etc). Este código no es cualquier código, sino que es un código que va a inscribirse en un sistema descentralizado llamado blockchain (cadena de bloques, para lxs hispanohablantes). La blockchain es un sistema transaccional de altísima seguridad, operado por computadoras, como un gigantesco libro de escriba donde cada vez que un usuario pide asignar un token a, por ejemplo, una imagen, ese código se inscribe dentro de él, en un block. A partir de ahí y en cada transacción, los bloques contiguos a este nuevo token comprueban y garantizan la autenticidad del movimiento. Quizás para otra conversación, pero uno de los puntos (muy) importante para esto es que cada una de estas operaciones (cada vez más frecuentes y más en cantidad) consume una cantidad absurda de energía. Con cada operación, se necesita más y más consumo eléctrico para llevar a cambio la siguiente. Y pensábamos que el aire en 22º era un montón.

Por supuesto, la tecnología blockchain nace, o al menos se consagra, con un interés muy específico y casi que obvio: la transacción de dinero. Si el criptoarte se llama criptoarte, es porque primero hubo criptomonedas. Las criptomonedas, como las monedas en general, son bienes fungibles. Cualquier moneda es intercambiable por otra porque son exactamente iguales; 1 peso es siempre igual a 1 peso (capaz así el 1 a 1 hubiera sido más fácil). Fungible es algo así como intercambiable o replicable. En el otro extremo, no fungible es algo único. Es transaccionable por una suma x de dinero, pero no intercambiable, ya que no hay otros iguales a él (o al menos, la idea sería que no los haya). Si todo esto es un embrollo, no se preocupen, se pone peor.

Un modo de pensar rápidamente y entender el interés en los NFT a partir de algo cercano y conocido, es imaginarlo como un certificado de autenticidad. Esto es parcialmente así: el certificado de autenticidad es un documento paralelo a la obra en sí misma. Salvo que pensemos en las Zonas de sensibilidad pictórica de 1958 de Yves Klein, donde el artista entregaba certificados a cambio de un espacio intangible de experiencia. El oro con el cual era pagada la obra era luego arrojado al Sena, y, como rito final, los certificados expedidos, quemados. Claro está, en este caso la obra tampoco es el certificado, sino la performance en su totalidad. Pero volviendo al NFT, la idea es que el certificado de autenticidad no es solamente un certificado, es el mismo espacio donde la obra está alojada en el mundo digital. El token configura, al mismo tiempo, la obra y el certificado. Con este propósito fue ideado. Sin embargo, el uso, la experimentación, y sobre todo, el hecho de que la tecnología no había sido ideada en primer lugar para esa finalidad, complicaron rápidamente este modo. La blockchain permite inscribir en ella solo archivos muy livianos, en términos de kilobytes. Hoy por hoy, imágenes complejas, modelados 3D, e incluso escenarios de realidad virtual que son manipulados en ese universo comercial, pueden pesar desde unos cuantos megabytes hasta directamente gigabytes (recordemos: 1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte, 1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte). Léase: imposible de guardar en la blockchain. ¿Qué hacemos entonces con nuestro profundo deseo de pertenecer al mundo NFT? Fácil, guardamos nuestra obra en otra URL o sistema de alojamiento, y registramos ese enlace en un NFT. El famoso engañapichanga.

Ojo, no es que esté mal buscarle la vuelta, pero si la idea es combinar un sistema de alta seguridad, con un certificado de autenticidad, con una obra de arte, y finalmente volvés al viejo y querido alojamiento estándar de Internet, la pregunta es ¿no podíamos arrancar por ahí? Porque si vamos al caso, la idea de que uno comparte algo y se genera un código único no es algo nuevo en Internet, ni en el mundo computacional, acaso es la norma. La diferencia que podemos marcar, en primera instancia, es la privatización de ese contenido. Generalmente, cualquier cosa que podamos compartir en Internet, genera un código de libre acceso. La blockchain permite que ese código esté resguardado del ojo público. Por otro lado, la gran mayoría de los sistemas donde podríamos alojar contenido por fuera de ella son volátiles, en el sentido de que dependen de un sistema central, cuya desaparición o falla implicaría la desaparición de nuestro archivo. Los beneficios básicos del sistema se ven así automáticamente obsoletos al tercerizar el alojmiento. Igualmente, la lógica de transacción de arte es la misma al fin y al cabo que la vigente desde el s. XIX para el mundo analógico también.

¿Cuál es el hito detrás de este boom? La videoensayista münecat explica en este video el fenómeno de la Web3.0, la era “geológica” del mundo digital en la que se inscribe el mundo cripto. Parte de su alegato pasa por el mercado tradicional del arte, el de las grandes casas de subasta y ferias; es un hecho conocido en este punto que el mercado del arte es un terreno de muchos grises en cuanto a su regulación legal y fiscal. Esto lo convierte en una actividad ideal para quienes buscan un modo de lavar dinero u ocultar otras actividades fraudulentas. O solía ser así. Entre 2020 y 2021, tanto Estados Unidos como la Unión Europea emitieron nuevas y más estrictas resoluciones y normativas de regulación del mercado. Casualmente, este momento de toma de medidas coincide con el estallido del criptoarte a nivel global. Uno de los momentos clave de este alud de acciones es la subasta de un NFT del artista digital Beeple por, nada menos, que 69 millones de dólares, bajo el patrocinio de la tradicional casa de subastas estadounidense Christie’s. Porque entre fantasmas, no nos vamos a andar pisando las sábanas. Una vez más, detrás de la ponderación de un mercado más libre y justo se reconfirman los arraigados valores del mercado más sucio y tradicional.

Desde ya, el criptoarte no es un invento de este fenómeno, ya existía desde antes, pero no tenía ni por asomo la relevancia que llegó a cobrar, y desde ya, que un puñado (o varios puñados) de corruptxs utilice la tecnología y el arte con los peores fines (que no responden a un interés ni en el arte ni en la tecnología) no implica directamente que haya que volar por los aires todo el sistema. Pero despierta unas cuantas preguntas, que no serán abordadas en esta edición introductoria, sino guardadas en un plazo fijo donde madurarán hasta dentro de 15 días.

Record Labels 101: How Do They Distribute Music?"

For any artist dreaming of their song topping charts or being played worldwide, understanding music distribution is key. Record labels have long been the bridge between artists and listeners, ensuring that music reaches audiences in the most effective way. But how do record labels distribute music? From creating the perfect release strategy to managing relationships with streaming platforms, record labels employ a mix of tools, networks, and innovative techniques. Whether it’s major labels handling superstar artists or indie labels empowering up-and-coming musicians, the core process remains crucial in transforming creative works into widely consumed hits. Platforms like Deliver My Tune have even made it possible for independent artists to harness professional-grade distribution. Let’s explore the essential elements of this process and why it matters.

The Foundation: Preparing Music for Distribution

Before a song reaches listeners, there’s a significant amount of groundwork done by record labels.

Mastering and Production: Labels collaborate with top sound engineers to ensure tracks meet professional audio standards. This step is crucial for ensuring quality across various devices and formats.

Metadata: Labels create detailed metadata, including song title, album name, genre, and contributing artists, which ensures proper cataloging and discoverability on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.

Visual Elements: Eye-catching album art, promotional visuals, and accompanying videos are produced to enhance the music’s appeal.

Key Distribution Channels Managed by Record Labels

Modern music distribution revolves around digital platforms, but physical channels still hold importance for niche markets.

Streaming Platforms:

Record labels secure spots on streaming platforms like Spotify, YouTube Music, and Deezer, ensuring tracks are accessible to millions.

Playlists play a significant role, and labels negotiate placements on popular playlists that amplify streams and visibility.

Digital Downloads:

Platforms like iTunes and Google Play continue to serve fans who prefer purchasing music. Labels ensure songs are optimized for downloads, offering high-quality files.

Social Media Distribution:

Platforms like TikTok and Instagram double as promotional and distribution channels, where viral trends can boost a song’s reach.

Physical Media:

While physical CDs and vinyl may seem outdated, they remain popular among collectors and fans of specific genres. Labels distribute these formats in retail outlets and through direct sales.

The Role of Technology in Distribution

Technological advancements have streamlined the distribution process, making it faster and more efficient.

Aggregators and Distribution Services: Platforms like TuneCore, RouteNote, and Deliver My Tune act as intermediaries, helping labels distribute music to multiple platforms with ease. These services handle uploads, metadata, and platform-specific requirements.

Analytics and Data Tracking: Streaming services provide real-time metrics on listens, likes, and audience demographics. Labels use this data to refine their distribution strategies.

Blockchain Technology: Emerging tools like blockchain enhance transparency in royalties, ensuring artists are fairly compensated for their work.

How Record Labels Collaborate with Artists

The relationship between a label and an artist is symbiotic, with distribution being a core area of collaboration.

Crafting Release Strategies: Labels plan releases to align with market trends, seasonal preferences, or other events that maximize impact.

Providing Resources: From access to studio equipment to funding for promotional campaigns, labels ensure artists have what they need.

Brand Building: A strong artist brand is vital for distribution success. Labels invest in creating a cohesive image that resonates with fans.

Challenges in Music Distribution Today

Despite technological advancements, record labels face several hurdles in music distribution.

Overcrowded Market: With thousands of songs released daily, competition for attention is fierce.

Royalties: Streaming platforms often pay minimal royalties per stream, making it challenging for smaller artists to earn significant revenue.

Piracy: Illegal downloads and unauthorized uploads remain persistent issues.

Independent Distribution: The Rise of Platforms Like Deliver My Tune

For independent artists, navigating the complexities of music distribution can be daunting. This is where platforms like Deliver My Tune come in.

Simplifying the Process: Artists can upload their music, add metadata, and distribute across multiple platforms with just a few clicks.

Professional Tools: Deliver My Tune provides access to analytics, promotional tools, and technical support, empowering artists to compete with major-label releases.

Cost-Effective Solutions: Independent artists can achieve professional-level distribution without the hefty fees associated with traditional label deals.

Success Stories: Impactful Distribution Strategies

Successful music distribution can make or break a song. Take the case of indie artist Lizzo, who gained prominence through viral trends and strategic playlist placements. Her journey demonstrates how effective distribution strategies, even when starting small, can lead to global recognition.

Conclusion: So, how do record labels distribute music effectively? They employ a multi-faceted approach that combines meticulous preparation, strategic use of platforms, and cutting-edge technology. From metadata management to securing playlist spots, every step is designed to maximize a song’s reach and impact. Platforms like Deliver My Tune further democratize this process, empowering independent artists to compete with established names.

Im April 2021 verkauft Tesla Bitcoin im Wert von 272 Millionen US-Dollar und erzielt dabei einen Gewinn von 101 Millionen US-Dollar, obwohl dies nur 10 % der gesamten Bitcoin-Bestände ausmacht. Dieser Schritt hat im Kryptowährungsmarkt für großes Aufsehen gesorgt. Tesla-CEO Elon Musk hatte zuvor auf Twitter angekündigt, dass Tesla Bitcoin-Zahlungen akzeptieren und in Bitcoin investieren werde, was den Markt stark beflügelte und eine neue Aufwärtsbewegung von Bitcoin auslöste. Doch weniger als drei Monate später veräußert Tesla einen Teil seiner Bitcoin-Bestände auf einem Preis-Hoch, was zu Turbulenzen auf dem Markt führt. Die TWAAO Börse reagiert proaktiv, um die Marktstimmung zu stabilisieren und den Nutzern Vertrauen zu geben.

What to Look for in Automated Trading Software?

The best-automated trading platforms all share a few common characteristics. Keep these features in mind as you choose.

Access to your preferred markets

Automated software doesn’t mean you’ll have access to all markets. Make sure you can trade your preferred securities.

Reduced latency

When you use an automated trading platform, there could be a lag between your price quote, the transaction and the completion of that transaction. A proper automated trading system should reduce latency as much as possible, protecting your investments and giving you the same access to the market a floor trader has.

Functional interface

Yes, the computers do much of the heavy lifting, but automated platforms still need to be managed (and adjusted when needed). Choose software with a navigable interface so you can make changes on the fly.

Industry-standard programming language

If you really want a unique strategy, you’ll need to program it yourself. Programming language use varies from platform to platform.

Detailed price histories for backtesting

Charts are critical to performing backtests, so make sure your platform has detailed backtesting that can be used across multiple timeframes.Pros of Automated (Robotic or EA) Trading

·         EAs remove some of the psychological pressures of trading. Although, people using an EA still need to know when to intervene and when not to, which is still a psychological pressure/skill.

EAs react quicker than humans can. When a trade signal appears (to enter or exit), there is no hesitation on the part of the EA. Humans, on the other hand, may freeze or question the trade. The lightning-fast reaction time of the EA is beneficial in fast moving market condition.

·         Forces the trader to simplify a strategy down to a level where it can be programmed. This process gives traders an in-depth look at their strategy. People who buy EAs don't receive this benefit, and often don't know what is “under the hood.”

Will take trades that suit a strategy, even if the trader feels otherwise. if the strategy has proven itself profitable, this is a good thing.

 Cons of Automated (Robotic or EA) Trading

·         It still requires a lot of work to create and/or maintain the program.

Manual intervention is occasionally required, meaning automated trading is not fully hands-off. For example, if volatility increases much more than normal then position size may need to be manually altered.

It's unlikely that buying an EA online will produce positive long-term results. It may work for a short period of time, but ultimately the person using it needs to maintain it, and know when to intervene and when not to.

·         To create your own EAs, trading, and programming skills are both required. The trading skills are required to create the strategy that will be programmed.

Crypto Wallets 101: How to Choose and Use the Right One for You

In the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrency, securely storing your digital assets is essential. Crypto wallets serve as the gateway to managing your cryptocurrency holdings, allowing you to send, receive, and store your assets safely. This guide provides essential cryptocurrency information to help you navigate the different types of wallets, their features, and how to choose the best one for your needs.

Understanding Crypto Wallets

A crypto wallet is a digital tool that allows you to interact with blockchain networks. It stores your public and private keys, which are necessary for accessing and managing your cryptocurrency. Importantly, wallets don’t store your cryptocurrency itself; instead, they provide the means to access your assets on the blockchain, where they are recorded.

Types of Crypto Wallets

There are several types of crypto wallets, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Understanding these can help you make an informed decision based on your needs.

Hot Wallets Hot wallets are connected to the internet and are typically used for everyday transactions. They include mobile wallets, desktop wallets, and web wallets. While hot wallets are convenient for quick access, they are more vulnerable to hacking and phishing attacks.

Cold Wallets Cold wallets are offline storage options that provide enhanced security for your cryptocurrency. Hardware wallets (like Ledger and Trezor) and paper wallets fall into this category. Cold wallets are ideal for long-term storage of large amounts of cryptocurrency, as they are less susceptible to online risks.

Custodial Wallets Custodial wallets are managed by third-party services, such as exchanges. While custodial wallets are user-friendly and accessible for beginners, they require you to trust the service provider with your private keys.

Non-Custodial Wallets Non-custodial wallets give you full control over your private keys and funds. This type of wallet is recommended for those who prioritize security and want to take responsibility for their assets.

Choosing the Right Wallet for You

When selecting a crypto wallet, consider the following factors:

Security Security should be your top priority when choosing a crypto wallet. Cold wallets offer the highest level of security, while hot wallets are more convenient but come with higher risks. If you plan to hold significant amounts of cryptocurrency, consider investing in a hardware wallet.

Usability Choose a wallet that is user-friendly and matches your level of expertise. Beginners may prefer a custodial wallet or a simple mobile wallet, while experienced users might opt for a more complex desktop wallet that offers advanced features.

Compatibility Ensure that the wallet you choose supports the cryptocurrencies you plan to hold. Some wallets are designed for specific cryptocurrencies, while others can manage multiple assets.

Backup and Recovery Options Look for wallets that offer robust backup and recovery options. This is vital in case you lose access to your wallet. Most wallets provide a seed phrase that you can use to recover your funds.

Best Practices for Using Crypto Wallets

Once you have chosen a wallet, follow these best practices to ensure the security of your cryptocurrency:

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) For wallets that support it, enabling 2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification when logging in.

Keep Your Software Updated Regularly update your wallet software to protect against vulnerabilities and security risks. This applies to both hot and cold wallets.

Use Strong Passwords Create strong, unique passwords for your wallets and accounts. Consider using a password manager to help you manage your passwords securely.

Be Cautious of Phishing Attacks Always verify the authenticity of websites and emails related to your wallet. Phishing attacks are common in the crypto space, and attackers often impersonate legitimate services to steal your credentials.

Store Your Seed Phrase Securely Your seed phrase is the key to recovering your wallet. Store it offline in a secure location, and never share it with anyone.

Cryptocurrency Research and Staying Informed

To make informed decisions about your crypto investments, engage in ongoing cryptocurrency research. Follow reputable sources of cryptocurrency information, such as news websites, forums, and social media channels. Keeping up with trending cryptocurrency projects can help you identify potential investment opportunities and stay ahead of market trends.

Conclusion

Choosing the right crypto wallet is essential for managing your cryptocurrency assets securely. By understanding the different types of wallets and their features, you can select one that aligns with your needs and preferences. Remember to prioritize security, usability, and compatibility when making your choice.

Stay informed, follow best practices, and you’ll be well-equipped to navigate the exciting world of cryptocurrency with confidence!
