Radio Detox Episode 3: Abel James

On this 3rd episode of Radio Detox, I talk with Abel James, a blues artist in the Valueverse whose music you can hear on Wavlake, Fountain, and LNBeats. He’s the New York Times Best Selling Author of The Wild Diet, and all around interesting dude. I think he’s the perfect guy to help us detox off the food pyramid…fiat music, and more. It’s no secret Bitcoiners don’t follow conventions in money, food, or culture. We like steak, fat, sound money, and Valueverse music. Let’s wrap this all up in a pretty bow with Abel James! I’m excited to share this interview because we talk about some of his favorite experiences in the Valueverse so far. He’s only been here for a couple of months! You wouldn’t believe it when you listen. Maybe he was born to be here, right now, with all the rest of us. He’s got a firm grasp of all the problems we have in social media, podcasting, live music, and recorded music. I’m still kinda bummed I haven’t seen him play yet, but he technically was on stage in Nashville for Bands at Bitcoin. He just wasn’t performing. Though he did co-write a song with JustLoud live on stage—which we will get into. Abel feels like a brother already because he just kinda popped into view and already has the same friends I do. Perhaps it’s because everyone is so welcoming in this space. I think he’s a great example of how jumping into the world of value-for-value can rapidly change your life as an artist for the better.
