Title: Using a single image for reply, what emotion does Bitcoin evoke in you?
Post by: hennessyhemp on May 05, 2017, 05:52:17 PM
Hey all.  I'm about to give a presentation on Bitcoin later this month at an event called Pecha Kucha, which is a bit like giving a lightning version of TED Talks where you get 20 slides and 20 seconds per slide to get your point across.

I'm hoping for input in the form of images that drive home the core elements of bitcoin...the less text the better (none is preferred).

I've already been gathering some...but I'd like to see what the community comes up with here, and I will let you know if I use your contribution.  Thank you in advance!

I haven't posted in a while, but I've been a part of this craze since 2011, and condensing what I know into 20 slides with 6:40 seconds for the whole talk is an interesting challenge, like trying to explain particle physics in the same amount of time.  I say that in jest, because the first Pecha Kucha I attended was actually at Fermilab and two particle physicists gave speeches in this same format, so if they can do it...so can I...or perhaps my parallel universe me, or whatever.

I hope you will share your presentation with the rest of us when you are finished with it.  ??? Here are some good ones for you :

Good luck with your presentation.... Doing this with 20 slides with 6:40 seconds for the whole talk will be pushing it.  ;D

Well...these responses leave me back where I started...the majority of those are text based and/or highly technically oriented...this is about reaching grandma and the kid who hasn't heard about it.  It's about empowering people all over the globe to interact freely and directly.  

I'll probably wind up using pictures of early mac computers, papa johns pizza, and the new nokia phones in the presentation...this is about simplification of a paradigm shift that has already occurred.

Please post images that evoke the emotion of Bitcoin for you.  In an image...why are you into Bitcoin (I've already got a pile of gold image)?

Cheers.

Edit...I think I'll re-title this thread.

I suspect that given:

1. All the issues with unconfirmed transactions this week
2. The ongoing SegWit vs. BU saga
3. Increasing fees

That the most likely emotion currently being evoked in a lot of users is a variation on this:

That's more like it, thank you for the submission.

I won't be attempting to explain details like current events in the time allotted, but this is pretty much nailing it on the head with what I'm trying for...and who knows, maybe I'll use it with a a smash the current conundrum spin on it.

Please keep them coming.
