Bitcoin Forum

Hey guys, so after the Google/Bitcoin debacle.. I'm working on a more profound project. I'm holding a public contest and asking people to re-edit Apple's iconic "Think Different" ad to reflect how they need to follow their own advice and think different about bitcoin.

You can read the details on reddit, but several people have already pledged to donate to the winner, and Nic Cary (CEO of Blockchain) pledging .5BTC out of his own pocket so far.

Exactly my first thought when I heard the news. Apple needs to get their s**t together.

Damn, we're up to 1.30889475 BTC in the prize pot for the best video.

I just submitted mine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4_gNRkh7zA&feature=youtu.be

That was perfect Teka, well done.

Thank you. I'm glad that people like it.

nice selection of images, with good timing, liked it... 8 )

Why not add Steve jobs to the video too? make apple realise what a visionary jobs was...

Apple has been an greedy money-grubbing corporation for more then a decade. Most of their success comes from marketing techniques, that spread cultish behavior among their customers.
And when Apple doesn't support the cult of bitcoin, only then will the bitcoin cult members realize "Hey! Apple isn't all about freedom!". God damn, how can some people be so thick.

I was concentrating on the Bitcoin aspect. I will be making a graphic soon that address the jobs part of "Think Different".

I keep trying to submit my video concept, but I don't see my post.. Can anyone help?

Here is mine. (concept)

Awesome stuff! Can I humbly suggest replacing the shooting with one of the hammerings?

I will think about it but I quite like the shooting.

Alright guys, the submissions are all in. I think every video kicks ass. We've got about 15 or so in total. Very creative stuff.

Here are all the submissions (in *no particular order*). Please give it a few mins and check each one out and vote and/or comment on your favorite one. There is 2.2 BTC up for grabs for the "winner".. but I've got some plans for all the videos. This has been fun, and everyone who submitted a video, donated, and now votes has my gratitude. I hope I did this issue some justice.

Take a look and give an upvote to your favorite.

Didn't see one that really stands out.. I'm surprised there wasn't a better turnout.

All Apple's ad is simply some guy speaking over clips.. It is very basic and to try and push outside this would be to create an ad that is too far off from the spin.

Yeah, the idea was to recreate the famous apple ad's which in themselves are quite simple but get the message across.

All,

Please take a moment to choose a video in the poll above as well. I'm trying to see something.

How about instead of using Apple's material, ya'll come up with something original?
