 Bitcoin Takes a Stand for Liberty - Meet Andrew Kalleen

Any other street musicians or artists that are bitcoin supporters/users?

Thx, this is very inspiring.

Seen this a while back good stuff, since when do people not like hearing music in public areas? as long as its not blowing peoples ears out its cool.

That is a re-post from a earlier video and I do not think it would be wise to donate to that address, if the artist cannot be directly linked to that Bitcoin address.

I have watched this video, long before the second time it was posted.

It just highlights the fact that we living in a world with wrong moral values, when street artists are arrested for making a living in a public place.

I have seen a lot of Street Performers accepting bitcoin these past few months. Most of the times they hold out or place a Big QR code for donations.
 I am sure this would inspire people in a place like SF, where a lot of street performers are present to accept bitcoin. Maybe next time you guys see someone accepting bitcoin, you should consider asking him if he accepts bitcoin, and if not then should.

great idea, instead of giving some coins, donating some satoshis. by this way they dont need to carry many of coins with them :)

It goes to show that regulation is a thing that should be handled with care and a lot of common sense and not be followed by the rule of law. We are all human beings and are all individuals, though some people like to hide behind rules and laws, saying an order is an order, you never should betray your own feelings and ideas of what is right, as soon as you do that, leave your personal freedom in the hands of another, the path is free for another to take total control and do more bad than good.

Depends. I don't mind them usually but in my city there's quite a few all playing different types of music. Sometimes shop owners get annoyed when they're playing loudly right outside their store which inevitably most of them are in the city centre. Would be cool to see more buskers accepting bitcoin though, but they hardly seem to get any money as it is so I don't know how successful bitcoin will be in this industry.

You guys are right... I missed the original story . Looks like a repost of a EasyBitz video .. I edited the original post to give credit to original video instead and reflect.

Very inspiring video for a man that have a passion for bitcoins.

You are doubting that bitcoin will fail to grab the attention and heart of people from specific industries? It is like claiming that bitcoin is not good because it can be used only by specific groups of people. And that is certainly not true. We must aim for the total acceptance... anything less is just a failure on our part.

Wow, cool. A musician accept payment with Bitcoin. It's a very modern musicians
