Love is the Cure

Ivy Lumi’s Love is the Cure is one of those projects - a deeply personal music release that explores what it actually means to live a life with Bitcoin, beyond just stacking sats.

Independent artist Ivy Lumi brought something different to Geyser - a music project rooted in reflection, healing, and what it means to live a life with Bitcoin.

Through Love is the Cure, she raised ~$400 from 15 contributors, showing how Bitcoin crowdfunding can empower musicians to create and distribute their work independently.

What Made the Project Successful

  • Strong personal narrative Ivy shared a clear and compelling story - connecting Bitcoin to freedom, self-discovery, and emotional growth. Her project wasn’t just about music, but about how to live with intention in a Bitcoin world.

  • Consistent social media presence She actively promoted the campaign across X, Nostr, and podcasts - continuously sharing updates, reflections, and milestones. Every contribution became content, helping build momentum and visibility.

  • Effective community engagement By amplifying each supporter and staying close to her audience, Ivy turned contributions into shared moments. This created a strong sense of participation around the project.

  • Creative use of product tiers She offered a thoughtful range of artifacts - including a limited CD, bonus tracks, Nostr badges and enamel pins tied to each song. This gave supporters multiple ways to engage with the project beyond simple donations.

Why This Matters

Love is the Cure highlights a powerful shift: Bitcoin is funding culture.

This project shows that independent musicians can:

  • Launch and distribute music without intermediaries

It’s a strong example of how Geyser enables artists to create on their own terms.
