Summary
Heather Larson sits down with Ivy Lumi, musician, Bitcoiner, and podcaster, for a conversation about music, self-love, and why love and Bitcoin might just be on the same frequency. Ivy shares the story behind her debut EP, the making of her first-ever music video for the single WoWoWow (shot in Hong Kong after Bitcoin Asia), and how a period of profound personal loss became the spark that launched her music career. From songs inspired by Bitcoin conference cities to a Geyser Fund campaign built around physical collectors items, Ivy is building something rare: art that lives fully in the value-for-value ecosystem and speaks to everyone, Bitcoiner or not.
