Venice Beach-based music streamer Radical.FM is now accepting payments via Bitcoin. Adding the digital currency is in keeping with the sartups ethos as an ad-free, pay-what-want streaming music service. Grooveshark began taking Bitcoin a few weeks ago. But with a library of 25 million songs, Radical.fm is the largest streamer to accept the alternative currency.

Radical.FM founder Tom McAlevey of [tomsradio.com](http://tomsradio.com/?ref=hypebot.com) also posted a [commentary on HypeBot](https://www.hypebot.com/an-industry-insider-explains-why-streaming-musics-already-profitable/) this week about the economics of streaming music that has garnered its fair share of online discussion.
