Bitcoin Forum

I was thinking about starting a YouTube channel regarding Bitcoin/crypto. I was thinking I was focusing on tutorials about the wallets, recovery, services, etc. (It won't be anything related to price analysis).

What are your thoughts and what do you think are some themes that you think should be covered?

I really love your idea when it comes to cryptocurrency. I learn many things from your posts. It would be very informative to me and newbies if you can tackle about deep topics like forks, bitcoin halving, regulations and etc. But first it's better if you will try to tackle first the basic info of bitcoin plus altcoins.

i think it will be good for the community, and i think theymos or someone in bitcointalk have a suggestion about bitcointalk have a youtube channel but i forgot where i see that post
the themes that i think will be good
1. tutorials on how to find a trusted wallet or service(exchange)
2. How to increase your transaction fee if your transaction got stuck for hours

I remember I was only 14 when I joined this Bitcoin community, I have faced some scam and had lost my pocket money but I was able to figure out almost everything about how Bitcoin works and how to use the wallets. If you make tutorials on them maybe is good for your YouTube channel but I believe it will be much more effective if people figure it out themselves. although you can tell some higher topics which needs attention such as private key backup or multi sign wallets or even about Cryptography and how it is used to save their wallet. There are a lot of topics but you are going to touch only the new topics because that will help you grow your channel.

Do something like @aantonop does. Make a series of Q & A videos, you can start by covering the basic questions for crypto regarding wallet, keys, etc. Or you can use questions being posted in this forum to make your videos.

I personally would love to see a new channel that discusses new questions so maybe I'd go with the second option instead of explaning from the beginning.

For me this should be included for newbies to be aware.

1.How to secure your wallet.
2. Ways on how hackers steal money in crypto. (Phishing site, Malware, asking for private key etc.) - This will provide security awareness and be cautious when entering details about wallet.
3. Reviews and suggestions were to buy/sell crypto safely.

Inform us once you start making your channel. Good luck OP.

Well no matter what, they will see some information about ICO and investment as soon as they learn about cryptocurrency.
So add some knowledges for newcomers about ICO or any other kind of investments. Especially things that will make them lose their money like ponzi scheme and trash ICO/project.
Tell them the history about BITCONNEEEEEECTTTT  ;D

We dont want them to have a bad first experience in cryptocurrency market right?

Actually, there are people trying to do that. But some of the contents are very empty and meaningless. What exactly do you plan to create? Just informative and educational? Or is it also fun, effective?

In my opinion, interviews with experts and projects, general analysis, exchange, KYC etc. A general channel about can be very useful.

i rarely visit Youtube to learn about bitcoin myself but since a lot of others do it, that can be a good service to offer people.

these are the topics i would cover in that order:
1. a simple and short explanation of what bitcoin is as a decentralized currency while avoiding any kind of technical explanation or even mention of mining and things like that. stick to use cases and how to use.
2. a more detailed explanation of how bitcoin works, some hits at mining, general information about cryptography and how it secures bitcoin,...
3. explanation of bitcoin characteristics and mostly differences of it compared to traditional currencies and payment systems (reading the first page of Satoshi's paper can help with this)
4. now we start with "how to use bitcoin.
4.1. what is a wallet, what it holds (private keys not coins)
4.2. what are different types of wallets and how to choose one.
4.3. general security guidelines to keep a wallet safe.
4.4. explanation of fees (eg. it is calculated based on size not amount) in two steps: a) using the wallet to set the fee/byte b) using other tools if your wallet isn't doing a good job
4.5. maybe cover LN wallets too
5. some general information about how to buy bitcoin and the risks of trusting centralized exchanges
6. introduction of some merchants and basically what you could buy with bitcoin.
7+. depending on your own knowledge of bitcoin and interest of your audience you can always cover more advanced topics too. eg. cryptography, bitcoin script language,...

This is a very good suggestion. Experts can contribute much to providing audiences the right information and could even add some advice to those who want to get started with crypto. Though there are already articles all over the internet about topics in relation with it, I think watching an interview or a discussion about the basic up to the complex part of cryptocurrency is a more interesting way of conveying the ideas. It could catch more attention because you could really see and hear the expression of the speaker which makes the viewers feel like they are also in that conversation.

But this interview with the pros can be done not necessarily on the pilot episode. You can also start from your ideas of tutorials then as time goes by, the topics will go up the next level. One step at a time.

To OP, I wish you will pursue your idea of creating the YouTube Channel tackling things about crypto. It's a great idea. Count on me as one of your subscribers.  ;) Kudos!

This would help, but I don't think this is the best way. I feel that Omega needs to create something that kids and teens could understand instead of focusing on adults. Beginner friendly tutorials which cover the basics initially:

- What is Bitcoin and crypto?
- Importance of crypto
- Advantages and Disadvantages
- Bitcoin vs FIAT
- How do you buy a Bitcoin?

Once the basics are covered, he can proceed to the advanced tutorials like LN, segwit etc.

please don't take this the wrong way but before you start doing that first think about what you are really doing different that makes others choose to watch your videos and not others that already exist. for example Andreas Antonopoulos has fantastic videos that cover almost everything and I think everyone agrees that the contents are excellent so what sets your videos apart?
a difference could be if your videos were in a different language for example so that people who don't speak English could still benefit from such videos.
although "recovery" that you mentioned can be a unique topic since I have not yet seen anybody do that. but the other two (wallets, services) already exist.

I think you should cover everything , because what I have learned till now is from hit and trial method and common sense , it would have helped me a lot if there was any channel like that.

Wallets
Keys
Sending receiving
Trading
Converting to cash and vice versa
Local Bitcoin.com usage
Bitcointalk.org
Forum's
Tasks
Faucets
Trading Bitcoin for other cryptos
Choosing a secure wallet
Segwit enabled wallets
Lightning network

There are many 🙌cover them all please it would really be helpful for people out there , great thing that you are thinking of doing this , best of luck.

I am interested with this, I can personally say that I am so dumb when it comes to wallets. Back when I was a newbie what comes out to my mind is how the wallet works.

This are my suggestions:

How wallet works and what is your recommended wallet.
What is bech32 address and how to have one and it's difference from the old classic wallet that starts from 1.
What is multi signature address.
How to secure my wallet


Basically I want to know all the topics that relates to that hopefully you can add that one to your channel sir, Thanks in advance.!

This is a very good idea. I think one of the most over looked topics are the creation of secure paper wallets. Many people buy coins and they either store it on the exchange or platform where they bought it or in online wallets and storing coins on centralized services are NEVER a good idea.

You do not OWN coins, if you do not control the Private keys. ;) There are many tutorials showing you how to make Paper wallets, but the methods are far from secure.   ;)

Please make a tutorial with a air-gapped method on hardware that would never touch the internet again.  ;)  <Computer & printer>

If you are starting a channel, I will suggest you to work for removing misconception in peoples mind.
Bitcoin is not created for you to buy it today, hold it, and then sell it. The main purpose is to do payments.
Today "Speculative asset" part is dominating the technical part and people forget the real use case of its creation.

You may disagree with me but starting only the bitcoin channel for education purpose may not give you much audience as most the people know about these topics and for the newcomers, there are enough educational tutorials already.

You have a large fan following and based on that you should cover three aspects in your channel .

- Cover the latest Crypto related News
- Your analysis on current market conditions and future predictions ( Not price related but Technical Analysis)
- Bitcoins Basic tutorials

This way all the people both New and experienced in crypto will be attracted towards your channel and you will always have something to say about  :)

This is an incredible idea coming from a reputable member of the forum and we will keep our fingers cross to see when this will kick start and please don't for get to share the link to the YouTube Channel to the forum so that we can all benefit from it. Thanks in anticipation.

That is a great idea because sone of the users here are not good in understanding when only reading they need some visualized tutorials to understood what is the topic all about. Most of us here understand a single topic without watching a video because that called "common sense" are present to us. In somehow making a channel all about cryptocurrency well become successful and it will help other users to improve their knowledge not only but also in other social media.

That's really a good idea. Discussing the major threads posted here on the forum might just also create an active discussion on the youtube platform.
This also clicked an idea in my mind. @OmegaStarScream you might also have a weekly 'Live' session where you would answer the questions asked by other live users.
Also, you can then post that video in your 'Live Sessions' playlist too. Let it also monetize your videos.

Also make the way to secure more your crypto because even if you think for example : blockchain already secure with SHA 256 etc but why it still can be hack ?

Any concrete solution may be given in order to prevent same thing in the future

This sounds like a good idea if you intend to accompany information with infographics. I think the first videos should be general and address the topics of what is Bitcoin and Blockchain, why Bitcoin is not a Ponzi or other scam, pros and cons of online and offline wallets etc. I think it would be nice if the videos were 5-10 minutes long and covered key theoretical and practical information.
As for questions I'm interested in, the first one is a practical tutorial in the Lightning Network, and the second one is on using Bitcoin without intermediaries like wallet companies (I believe that's what Satoshi had in mind). Good luck!

i like it , but hopefully you make it alvailabe on another language also. even it just using subtitle.
i see many youtube channle that talking about crypto but most of them hard to understand, my mean for newbie and someone new.

In my opinion, i think that won't be needed right now, because there's almost a hundred of similiar Youtube channel's and of course you also will have a lot of competitors. Maybe it will be better if that's channel is just only about your own opinion regarding some news on the crypto.

Please do and when you're done please post the link here. There have been multiple bitcoin channels before but I would be glad if I know those that were created by members from the forum. We can drive traffic into these channels and hopefully get them on top of search results in Youtube same way that this forum is on Google.

I'm no content creator but I suggest you start with the basics and organize the videos into playlists (some channels fail to do this), with each playlist dealing with a different aspect of crypto. Would also be nice if you open the channel with at least 10 videos so that anyone stumbling into it have more to munch on, then just do regular uploads.

Good luck on your channel.  :)

This may be underestimated, but think it would be a good idea.

Hows bitcoin perform at an early age, and what drives Satoshi to make Bitcoin more like the principle/motives of the cypherpunks community. About the security fundamental about crypto, but I'd like if you go deep more into the basic internet security.

I'd believe that if people are influenced and well-understood in the principle and the motives of decentralization, and financial privacy. I'm sure Bitcoin goals are easier to be achieved.

It is a good idea to help newbies in the crypto currency.
I think you should do it tell them how it works,
The basics about crypto a tutorial on how to send and recieve so that they wouldn't make some mistake.
Do some videos about crypto history some kind of documentary.

you could start by explaining what it is bitcoin and cryptocurrencies (basic concepts) ... you can also talk about:

- what is blockchain?
- What is a private and public key?
- What is a hash?
- where do the new bitcoins come from?

There are many things to teach

This isn't required. There's plenty of channels that cover it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc2en3nHxA4
https://blockgeeks.com/guides/what-is-bitcoin/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZT26y_l-jtI

That first video has 6 million views.

Just don't make another bitcoin news channel!

We could use a channel to familiarize people with bitcointalk and its rules. Hardware wallet guides and wallet security is also interesting.

Hey it would be great if you could go over issues like this, I suck at making videos and am to much of a troll to be taken seriously, even though these are pretty serious issues. Plus I keep getting my post removed and banned from this forum, twitch and youtube :) thanks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7TLFyK_3Pk (limited supply simulation video showing you we all die, how time could be the medium of the exchange, how governments could become decentralized and exchanges can become decentralized.) refer to this post for ideas https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5135915.0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bowyBKPt15U (how everyone could be their own wallet)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ek7Kd_9UkL0 (trading another mans fiat for another mans fiat)

it has nothing to do with price :)

This is really a must to the growing community. These days people are much towards learning through YouTube. Perfect channel with good content will help in the widening of the market, because most of the people still stay away from cryptocurrency just due to the lack of understanding. Another suggestion is to explain the special events that's been predicted to take place around the cryptocurrency market. In specific issues that's been faced now, incidents like halving of Litecoin, other such informations will be good.

as long as it can add interest from bitcoins it might be possible to make a youtube channel that has bitcoin or other cryptocurrency knowledge content. benefits can also be quite possible to add revenue through adsense from youtube. also you can add content about issues that happening in cryptocurrency.

I’m really grateful of your concern mate,because i felt harder to educate my families and friends on how to teach them the internal parts of cryptocurrency and now that you are creating a YouTube channel then it would be a big help for us

Now having this all we need tl do is let them watch the videos and it will be more fun and enjoyable for them to be educative with less effort.really looking forward for this and will following this thread for updates and progress

in my opinion, you have to explain from the concept of decentralization when there is a global crisis, and the development of Bitcoin until today.

or you can also make a video that explains the difference between Bitcoin and the ponzi scheme and bubble concept.

Well this is a must explain since the decentralization is the most reason why people are trusting cryptoCurrency aside from other things
Even that this issue has been here for almost same year of existence of crypto yet this must be explained and focus on this side.

Youtube is the most popular place when people ask about one thing they need to know and creating same video for the benefits of all

I support this idea. It will be great to gain a piece of knowledge from the legendary crypto influencer. Please share the link to your channel, so we can subscribe and share it with friends.

You can start the tutorials about what is cryptocurrency and bitcoin, and then you can move to the next tutorials. The first tutorial will be important as you need to introduce cryptocurrency to your audience. It's not been a problem if you cannot reach a large viewer because if you can give an interesting video and tutorials, I am sure that you can get more follower in a short time.
Make a video is not easy because the more follower it depends on the video itself.
So if you can make a good video for the tutorials, I am sure that many people would stay at your youtube channel and learn the tutorials.

It's really good to make a YouTube videos that are educational about cryptocurrency. It's really helpful and easy to learn by watching in YouTube. I do this a lot though.
It's better it its short yet informative for the viewers not to get bored. Plus good graphics are good too to add interest of the viewers

I dont think if there are people who are already doing this but having you added to that people who introduce crypto to society would be a great help. Please if you already make that channel, include some documentaries about crypto on other countries to help them become aware of the world also.

I suggest that your videos must be very simple regardless of the topic you cover in the video, even techie children should be able to understand it as much as possible. It also depends on your target audience.

That would be a great help specially for beginners that need help from the expert.
You should tackle deep topics and also the important ones that need to learn not only for beginner and last i think you need to tackle the things that most people misunderstood about crypto.

It is a good idea
you should identify the topics that you will explain in the channel and the level that you will teach
for example, the wallets or mining
Will you start with beginners from scratch or will you talk to advanced levels?
It is possible to combine the two ideas but it will be cumbersome
good luck bro.

The idea is fascinating! I think it's better to start with the basics and its history, just to indicate what it's all about. Though depends on how advanced your target audience is.
