NextHustle Manifesto (1997 – Present)
Origin and Foundation
I didn’t wait for Web3. I built before Web1 had a name. NextHustle began in 1997—when I started uploading beats and music to SoundClick around 1999–2000. That’s when I discovered digital distribution deals—TuneCore (backed by Interscope, DepthJam), then later OneRPM. I learned to package music my way, on my terms. When YouTube launched, family helped me craft music videos. When Facebook arrived—I used it for promotion, uploading videos and reaching fans. From beat tapes to bootstrapped code. From server-side execution to smart contracts. NextHustle is the origin layer, and I still rep it—through the blockchain. NextHustle = Proof-of-Work before I knew the term. Respect is earned in drought, not harvest. I’m still here. Still building. NextHustle is eternal.
The Boring Network Manifesto (Late 2023)
I launched The Boring Network during the Ordinals flood of late 2023. Everyone rushed to mint JPGs and memecoins. I chose discipline. I slowed down to carve meaning into blockspace—while maintaining NextHustle identity. Built on silence. Anchored in conviction. Forged from the bones of 1997 hustle and early music distribution. This isn’t just another network. It’s an operating system for the sovereign creator—timestamped presence across BTC, LTC, DOGE, and Fractal BTC. No hype. No gimmicks. No paid clout. Just timestamped memory. So Boring. So Basic. So Inevitable.
RTBNXH Manifesto (Late 2023)
RTBNXH = Recording Tools by NextHustle Born from crate-digging in the 2000s. Evolved into real-time, blockchain-aware DAW tools. I don’t build plugins. I build protocols—beat sequencers, piano rolls, drum machines, inscribed on-chain. My first Bitcoin music tool was etched on November 9, 2024—a timestamp that matters. Before that, I experimented: MusicCoin, Tron’s music platform (flops), Ethereum NFTs; migrating music incrementally. I test on Fractal BTC testnet, refine on Litecoin for cost-efficiency, then integrate final tools back on Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the time. RTBNXH is the sound sovereignty system. This is NextHustle protocolized. RTBNXH is not a product. It’s a standard.
DMT Manifesto (2024 – Onward)
DMT = DeWayn Music Tools Not a drug. A portal. Built from: • 1997 hustle • SoundClick distribution • TuneCore / OneRPM deals • YouTube video crafting • Facebook promo • Ordinal-era timestamping • RTBNXH protocol launches First functional music tools on Dogecoin released February 2025. DMT is a synthesis of sovereignty, soul, and system—smart samplers, audio engines, blockchain triggers. Every tool bears my name. Every interface reflects: build what lasts. DMT is not an app. It’s my final form as a builder—chain-stamped. Time-proof. Creator-forged.
