I think the fundamenral misunderstanding is that Levine thinks of these crypto 'institutions' as classic capital - they get (more) money from owning things and managing funds, and should be fundamentally insulated from market instability - whereas the crypto people see themselves as a tech startup, meaning they should have YoY growth _every year_, which fixed-rate, liquid bonds can't necessarily yield.
@pettter I was disappointed to see it sold a second time to a music licensing company. Don't know much about them but hope they aren't there to change the way it works.
But Bandcamp is/was a great model and service to bands.
