Without the good services of Alsenet.com{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} there would be no Basspistol. Not in it's current shape anyways. And today we're proud to announce that they have blessed the Outernational Music Syndicate with the infrastructure to receive donations in Bitcoins.
Bitcoin(₿) is a cryptocurrency invented in 2008 by an unknown person or group of people using the name Satoshi Nakamoto[15] and started in 2009 when its implementation was released as open-source software. It is a decentralized digital currency without a central bank or single administrator that can be sent from user to user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network without the need for intermediaries.[8] Transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded in a public distributed ledger called a blockchain. Bitcoins are created as a reward for a process known as mining. They can be exchanged for other currencies, products, and services.[17] – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin
While it doesn't change our position as a non-profit foundation, enabling our community to support us financially in ways that align with our vision of self-governance, data-sovereignty and autonomy is a move we have long been waiting to make. Longing for it. Simply because non of the existing systems have met our ethical requirements. While there are plenty of tools for Artists and Performers to ask for support, these tools all leverage traditional banks and stake-holders that we consider on a path of obsolescence in the 21st century. Basspistol strives for societal change and decentralization. Nothing express these goals better than the concept of Cryptocurrencies.
For now, tossing your Satoshies at us will not give you anything else than cosmic tokens of eternal gratitude from the Outernational Music Syndicate. (Basically just good old fashion karma, if you like.) However, we are exploring ways of rewarding supporters and to effectively and automatically distribute the donations equally among the Artists members of the musical syndicate.
