Bitcoin Forum

According to recent survey, most people have heard of Bitcoin, but have no idea what it really is. According to another super-secret scientific study the only way an ignorant crowd would pay attention to something new and ground breaking is if a hot girl with british accent explains it as simple as possible! Well, that's what we did:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWYVktImeTk


This is just the first one of video series about Bitcoin. With each episode we will try to answer as simple as possible popular bitcoin question or misconception. All videos will be short and to the point.
The idea is that next time someone asks you stupid question about bitcoin, you just send him the relevant video and let the girl do the talking. 

Each video is paid for by a product placement of bitcoin business.

This being the first one, any kind of feedback will be useful. Suggestions to what to do next would be appreciated as well! If you like the idea and want to support it, sharing the video is just enough. As long as we get the views, there will be sponsors and the series will live! :)

Nice video, nice explanations but somethings to improve:
-better sound recording devices please
-the video is slightly tilted to the right
-graphs and pictures might interest the viewer more than just words (check DNews or Scishow for examples)

But hey! This is just my opinion  ;D

A high-level overview of what bitcoin aims to achieve, why it is useful and why it's not just another currency would be a good video too. This is something most people don't understand.

 

In the video below, Mike Maloney hits the nail when he explains how Banks have been inserting themselves between individuals in the financial system and taking a cut from every transaction, and this destroys prosperity as well as they taking a slice of economic energy out of a transaction.

Now that you said, it really looks slightly tilted, didn't notice before. You've got some good eye.

Yep just slightly tilted. But I like it.

I agree it needs some visuals to go with the explanation.

This is great, thanks for taking the time to put it together. Maybe finally I can explain Bitcoin to my parents.

Well, at least my mom. She's the smarter of the two  ;D

Interesting video!

Good job!
Now you just need some time to share this around and you should consider some fb and twitter page too.

Waiting for another videos!

Well the Video is Nice and All.

It's Simple and Explained most misconceptions about the bitcoin..

Most people understand with visuals though.. maybe more visual representions would help..
just listening to (hot) girl talk about bit coin is fine but I could also have read about this in the internet
It's a Video for a purpose, for people to see and hear ...
//Just my thoughts though

but the voice is kinda echoish ...

I already stumbled on bitcoin video before but never really minded it..

this was the first video I stumbled upon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb_ElE1DQik

well what the heck.. I Suscribed to your channel to see further improvments  ;D
Please Let me Understand the bitcoin more Im kind of a dummy

The 'For Dummies' brand might try get your channel taken down  :D. I wonder if they're working on a book?


Yeah, the sound isn't great.

Who is a girl on a video? :) Your girlfriend? :)
Good choice! She is a pro speaker.

Glass-less glasses?
What happened to the boobs btw?

If you want to attract attention try this next time:

Now you have my attention  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I think this is not a those type of videos that you ^ ^ like ... maybe you should search for something else than "Bitcoin" related videos...

OMG you are so clever!!!!

Maybe you should stick to boring videos then.
This video has nothing other than a girl who is not so impressive.

So once again:

In your opinion maybe.
Your style so funky ...

You make me scared :)

"Bitcoin For Dummies" is very good as it is.

Thank you all for the feedback, it all helps! (well except the one from S4VV4S)

I really like the idea about the visuals, that could help a lot. Hopefully for some of the next ones budget will allow that.
S4VV4S now to have your constructive feedback implemented we will need you to sponsor the next video with about 12 BTC, they are needed for a boob job.


To the other guys, if you like the project and want to help, share the video, more views means more initiative  for someone to sponsor the next one.

We are already thinking the next one to explain why Bitcoin is not a ponzi. This one seems to be one of the more popular misconceptions, right?

Well this should be good indeed!
And if you will get 12BTC for boobs operation spent it to buy better camera/lights instead of boobs :)

May I add a better actor as well?

seriously look at this and compare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reo7WbibxaQ

And this is A GUY and he does a much better job at getting your attention.

Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that you are promoting Bitcoin, but....
You are doing it wrong.
I will not bullshit you here.

You can hate me all you want, it still doesn't change the fact that YOU are NOT creative!

Nuff said!!!

I know I have alot to learn about cryptography and would like for someone to use small words when explainint it all to me.  ;) 

I tend to get intimidated and somewhat frustrated if I'm unable to pick up things right away so this may be helpful thanks putting this together and sharing I be sure I sub ur channel,cheers.

I know I'm cool with it but I do see your point.  All I ask is that the simplify it so that I don't have to strain my tiny brain.  :) 

Seriously though I think people won't take offense to the title because The term "for dummies"  sort of caught on or went viral in the 90's I believe and will actually attract more people then offend thm IMO.

When making YT videos you will always find someone who will tell "Your clips are shit"

Just do your job and think about those who like them!

Here is the auction that will determine the one that gets to have his product/site placed in the video
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=538342.0

So you are into guys now?


You have to learn that there is constructive critique that helps and there is just being prick and hateful on people that actually try to do something good.
You are doing the second one.

I actually gave you advice on your other post.

And I actually wrote a whole paragraph in order to respond to this but....

Maybe you are right.
Maybe I did come out a bit too harsh to begin with.

I apologize.

Let me share my humble experience from the years. After all we kinda paid for that video :)

Anything can always be made better! Whatever you do, there will always be people that will see imperfections in it. Infact for most stuff half the people don't like it, no matter how good it is.
But what really matters is TO DO SOMETHING even if not perfect, it's 1000 times better than doing nothing.
At the end of the day there are two kinds of people, DOERS that do stuff and make mistakes and the ones that never do mistakes because they never do anything.
I like the video and what I like even more is that it's getting decent amount of views in just 2 days or so. Keep up the good work!

Well when you are a youtuber - always someone will hate your videos :) and always someone will love them! :)

This is art! :) in a part.

Hey, I said I am sorry.

What else do you want?

Well the Video is Nice and All.

It's Simple and Explained most misconceptions about the bitcoin..

Most people understand with visuals though.. maybe more visual representions would help..

//Just my thoughts though

:) I am not saying it because of you :) this is just how it is!
And you my friend - people who will say "your video is shit" are needed too!
For them - I am trying to create better and better to shut them :)

good video, but many people are only remembering the word bitbandit.eu.... i wonder how that subtle messaging got stuck in their heads

hehe :) Yes indeed curious :P
Perhaps they did pay fair price for this great advert :)

I'm not sure to which people you are referring, but I guess that's good. We need the advertisers to be happy too, so we can continue to do this for years.
If the sponsor wants, he can share how much he paid.

Here is the auction thread for our next episode https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=538342.0
We are going to sell the product placement for each episode publicly on the forum from now on. The highest bidders gets it, no reserve price :)


Anyway, I don't think this is the most important thing :)

Sucked.

Girl with big retarded and fake plastic glasses standing there talking in a white background environment. Even wears a shirt with advertisement.

Budget: 10 bucks.

Any retard with an handy-cam could have done it in 2 hours.

Video was so insignificant i didn't even listen to what she said.

So, what do you propose? Would you do better one in 1 hour to prove your point or just trolling?

A girl with real glasses, and maybe fake tits

Actually I would say dump the glasses and let your hair down girl.  ;)

I propose bitcoiners raise some money and hire a professional company in order to have some quality material.
Something like 5-10k should do it.

Instead of that bitcoiners do their things their side and the results are 129238 shitty videos instead of 1-2 good videos.

How much you are prepared to put in? I mean you suggested it.

And here is our second episode for the ones that follow it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kImBgWDgIlA&feature=youtu.be

yeah! Great job!

Watched - thumbs up !

Waiting for more to come!

Nice to see you take the time and effort to try and make some Bitcoin education video's.

Don't know about the glasses and the girly pigtails tho, but thats just me.

You don't want your vids to be like a cheap pornstar telling you the weather forecasts,do you? (you know the video's)
Its now somewhere in the middle of that :)

If she is supose to be a teacher, give her a blackboard with some points to show, now its just a white background with a girl telling stuff.

But I give you a thumbs up anyway ;)

Waiting to see what path your taking with the vids.

Thank you but I believe we are far away from cheap porn like videos :)
Glasses are for geekyness kinda and to have something distinctive

 

Thank you!

Why don't you try to raise those money and do a better one then?

Because i dont care ?

You are the one trying to make this happen...

So, you don't care to do it, but care enough to give advice how it can be done better, typical :)

Nice videos

What will be the name of 3rd part of "Bitcoin For Dummies"??

Do you figure it out already?

Cheers!

Yes, also just started the auction for it. Here it is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=570424.0
