SoundCrowd: Tokenizing & Collectivizing Soundcloud

A platform like Soundcloud represents a perfect, relatively low risk, sandbox for experiments in cryptocurrency and tokenization. It would represent a way for beginners in the space to receive some tokens, and play around with them in order to familiarize themselves with this new logic of value exchange and growth.

Many factions of the independent musical infrastructure have become closer and closer aligned with corporate interests and advertising supported journalistic models in order to keep their head just slightly above water, and are in danger of losing their distinction and identity as a result.
