I've been a Bitshares supporter since day one and even before back in the Protoshares days. What initially brought me to this community was actually a one sided "flame" war on Bitcointalk. Bytemaster was fielding ideas, which eventually became Bitshares, and the community there was about as hostile as a Youtube comment thread. BM took it all in stride and responded to each question in a sane and rational manner rather than fanning the flames. This was someone who believed in what they were saying.
Fast forward a couple years and the project is still aiming to fulfill its primary objective however others have come to recognize the power of this ecosystem. Cob, and by extension MUSE and Peertracks, are leveraging this new technology to address one of the most screwed up businesses next to finance - Music. Since its announcement I have been very excited about the possibility of the Music project and would love to be a part of the solution.
Though I am not a musician I have come across a number in my lifetime and many have similar nightmare stories about the music industry. There was a Canadian band I listened to growing up called, "The Gandharvas". They were a young band out of Kingston, Ontario, Canada and had a hit getting a lot of airplay on Much Music. When I next ran into them at a local pub they said they broke up because they couldn't afford gas for their van to continue touring. Anyone reading this knows where all the money went.
A better way is long overdue and a blockchain secured peer to peer infrastructure just might be it.
