144 – Bitcoin is Definitely Metal with Noa and Lahav

In the first Plebchain Radio episode of 2026, Avi is joined by Noa Gruman (lead singer of Scardust) and Lahav, for a conversation ranging from Scardust’s Bitcoin-adjacent music lore (including the “RIP” video) to the reality that “Bitcoin is definitely metal” … and prog.

Noa shares highlights from Sabaton’s Legendary Orchestra project, a massive arena-scale production where she both conducts and performs lead vocals.

The conversation digs into the “fiat loop” musicians get trapped in, plus how value-for-value and Lightning splits could offer a more direct path between listeners and artists (and how labels might react).

Finally, they look ahead to Scardust’s 2026: getting back on the road with Europe dates, ProgPower USA, and a newly teased live Nostr/value-for-value event in Belgrade after BTC Prague.
