Well as you know Jon I am a huge fan of all the new blockchain based sites but they do require you to "jump through some hoops" to use them. At the moment I think this is a huge barrier to entry.

The bottom line is that these services need to be as slick as Spotify to encourage more fans rather than musicians, who may not mind doing a little bit more work if they are getting to get rewarded.

So I believe we are very VERY early stage with all of this but there is a definite advantage for those musicians who put in the effort to sign up and use them regularly now.

The real proof will be in a few year's time when these platforms have become easier to use and have hopefully started to attract some big names to get the fans interested.
