Why is an ATM fee 2 dollars? Yet, a play on Spotify pays the artist only .0006 cents?

Don’t artists exude more labor on their music than software developers do coding ATM machines with universal encryption methods? And henceforth shouldn’t artists be paid more?

Or am I wrong? Because in a world where encryption powers online banking… people often forget that digital information at it’s core is still just binary code (coded by 1’s and 0’s). Thus, for financial data to remain safe this binary code is at a constant liability which means that encryption is virtually all that even protects financial data, today.

Regardless, even with, “encryption protocals,” I would say that musicians still endure more pain to produce their product than application developers do producing theirs. So why do applications developers get to charge more than musicians? Is the universal encryption method used by all banks more valuable than music? WHereby, “super encryption,” at the highest levels of Ai and application development isn’t even that complicated when compared to some modern music. In fact, the encryptor has a pretty advantageous position in encryption vs deciphering in terms of the math and specifics of both encryption and decryption. In comparison very few people can make a classic record and even fewer can do it without a super producer or record label full of experienced musicians supporting them. Furthermore, maybe a hacker can break into your bank account but stealing your money but it's a totally different animal to get away with it. Whereby, technologically speaking encrption is wonderful but backing up financial records easily allows banks to assess large changes or abnormal activity making encryption only half of the online banking game. So to reiterate, not only does the encryptor have an advantage in encryption vs decoding but you can also code safety checks into the system;

• Did the user’s account balance change dramatically?
• Was the IP Address where the user last logged in unusual?
• And did the user’s balance change abnormally (based upon their previous transaction history) and what was their previous balance?

And those, “stop gaps,” or post login forms of encryption… are really what stops 99.9999% of cyber-crime today, not the encryption of block chain itself. (Although, those little asterisks shielding your password from onlookers… still works to some extent, as well.) Nevertheless, by using these, “stop gaps,” AFTER DATA HAS ALREADY BEEN BREACHED can prevent 99% of cyber crime and that's not even counting the advantage that a coder has in encryption vs decoding.

(*And Ai is way harder than cyber security in terms of tech jobs… in my opinion. Although, encryption is a pretty cool field with a lot of high level math and big numbers.)

In conclusion,, let’s re-examine this… because in my opinion this circumstance has also become an issue pertaining to something else that we don’t talk about nearly enough in America which is, "occupational evolution." And lest we forget that baseball was probably initially a way for subway diggers, some of whom who carved NYC’s subway systems, to show off their strength. Henceforth, this is why baseball salaries continue to reward shovel strength today. Whereby, pro sports was originally a way to reward hard working Americans who had strong children under the pretense of occupational evolution! Which sounds off topic but what I’m really saying is that financially we don’t want to over-reward musicians… because then socially… we don’t need a million artists on Spotify IE pro-sports, which is the counter argument to my assertion that musicians deserve more money than encryption coders and software engineers. And this concept of a trade war between the fields of music and coding opposes free market economics in some ways. For example, where pornography would just dominate the entertainment industry in a truly, "free market."

And can you say Brazilian Real? So why is crypto currency, "real?" Because of encryption? Because of code? And I believe that this push towards, “crypto currency,” is being done intentionally with the intent to cement, “the encryption niche in tech,” as a viable income source, while simultaneously rewarding high level mathematicians monetarily. Yet, unfortunately this happenstance has also simultaneously trolled the success of other professions like musicians whom make a fraction as much money but often work much harder than softare developers. Whereby, to be clear, I think that we’re creating jobs for math guys and trolling adminstrative positions, as well as musicians, with new money in fields like crypto currency.
