Seems like Hakim had stepped back for a while for personal reasons Bryce didn't specify to me when I asked about it 2-3 days ago in a DM. But since then Hakim apparently posted - and since deleted - that tweet because he didn't like the fact that Bryce was now dealing directly with ODB's estate instead of through him.

The plan is not really a pivot it's just there are many steps, and the first steps with FanMix is to onboard indie artists. Bigger artist come later.

Keep in mind the big artists will naturally want to see it working before they're willing to commit, and in a lot of cases have to get the OK from their representation which is not an issue for unsigned artists.

I'll be posting a series of short ~2 minute videos which I've also been posting on twitter. The first one is part of an interview with Bryce where he shares the story of how he became the first person from the cryptocurrency industry to lobby congress, as well as what happened when he was invited to speak with the SEC.
