I can't believe one of the posters to the vid said the vid was a paid advertisement. her comment was like very many times. hahahahaaaaa Title: Re: CNN IN NYC W/BTC 4 24hrs Post by: mercistheman on April 20, 2015, 01:26:57 AM SF would have been a lot different... but yeah, long way to go... let's run try this again in two years... my guess is a much better experience.

The user community we focus on is artists and art lovers. When we first started explaining AppleByte as a digitals currency, we often said, "It's like bitcoin, have you heard of bitcoin?" 80% of the people we talked too said no, and 90% of the ones that said yes, had a negative opinion based on what they had heard in the media. Now we simply explain how a digital currency works. Once they are AppleByte users, we teach the history of digital currencies and the place of bitcoin, as the standard. Here is a blog post of how we explain digital currencies, if you are interested.

PICISI will do much to improve the way people look at the CC industry. Question, given that you are in NY I think you should do a series of these types of videos. I know there is space on cable access TV for such programming too. AppleByte should be a sponsor of PICISI -- I'll send you a PM |
