Fountain Rewind is here ✨

In 2024, creators on Fountain embraced open distribution via RSS, open payments via Lightning and open social via Nostr.

Listeners sent a total of 2 BTC to creators this year. That's equivalent to $127,900 based on daily prices but would be worth nearly 50% more today.

You streamed 63 million sats and sent 40,000 boosts, with an average boost value of 3,380 sats (around $3.20).

Let's see who picked up the top awards in 2024...

MOST SUPPORTED SHOW: RABBIT HOLE RECAP Rabbit Hole Recap (npub10ut…xdlq)

RHR has quickly become one of the most-loved shows among Fountain listeners (affectionately known as ‘freaks’). In 2022 they were #3, in 2023 they were #2, and in 2024 they finally claimed the #1 spot. Congratulations, MartyBent (npub1guh…6hjy) and ODELL (npub1qny…95gx).

SHOW WITH MOST SUPPORTERS: MR OBNOXIOUS petermccormack (npub14mc…frlx)

In 2024, What Bitcoin Did came to an end to make way for Mr Obnoxious. Peter McCormack announced that dannyknowles (npub16le…ffxj) would be the new custodian - much to the relief of the 800 listeners who supported the show this year.

MOST SUPPORTED EPISODE: LINUX UNPLUGGED | 545: 3,062 DAYS LATER ChrisLAS (npub1awy…79n4)

One of three popular shows about open-source, security and privacy from Jupiter Broadcasting to make the top 40. Makes sense once you know that listeners boost their zip code (pricey if you live in Alaska).

MOST SUPPORTED ARTIST: AINSLEY COSTELLO Ainsley (npub13qr…almy)

Ainsley's music is the pop soundtrack of the next generation. Since “Cherry On Top" became the first track to hit 1 million sats last year, she has inspired countless artists to follow her path, becoming the face of this new movement.

ARTIST WITH MOST SUPPORTERS: MAN LIKE KWEKS manlikekweks (npub1fnn…4xnx)

When Kweks isn't working his 9 to 5, he's making beats from his bedroom in Tanzania. He may have earned just $25.68 from music royalties, but since first publishing his music on wavlake (npub1yfg…v6vg) he’s earned 2.3 million sats (over $2,000).

MOST SUPPORTED TRACK: ABI MUIR | STOCKHOLM

Born in Scotland, residing in Australia, Abi’s goosebump-inducing vocals and heartfelt lyrics define her songwriting. In Stockholm she explores a darker side to her music that crosses into alt-rock, topped with Muir's sultry vocals.

This year's investor letter from Stone Ridge did not disappoint. Ross Stevens is one of the brightest minds in the space and his humility is unmatched.

While everyone is focused on the bitcoin backed lending part of the letter (which is extremely exciting in its own right), I haven't seen anyone point out the message underlying the entire letter; Stone Ridge + NYDIG + other Stone Ridge subsidiaries are setting out to rethink how banking as an industry should work from the ground up.

Truly thinking disruptively.

Not a fan of how much BTC Microstrategy is accumulating, but they seem to be doing it legitimately soooo whatcha gonna do?

Will certainly be interesting to see if Saylor takes a full hero-to-villain arc a la Roger Ver.
