Title: A creative way to introduce BTC to newcomers
Post by: Do-DMT on August 25, 2023, 10:16:06 AM
One of the biggest issues that I find is that Bitcoin seems to boring of a topic for most people...technology, money, socio-economic issues...
So for the past year and a half I've been working on this piece of art that turned into a newbie-friendly, fun and colorful mini movie,
that takes you through the roller coaster ride of bitcoin's 13-year history :)

I hope you enjoy it, and please help spread the word!

Nice video.

But it is nothing more than bitcoin price from the 2009. When I was a newbie to bitcoin, I checked the chart myself from 2009 and which I will prefer and encourage people to do.

You talked about bitcoin to reach ATH of $69000, but you did not talk about how the price has fallen already which makes it cheap to buy again because the price of bitcoin is $26000 now and you uploaded that YouTube video not up to an hour ago.

I watched the video and it's informative actually for those interested on a particular aspect with bitcoin andbyet finding it more difficult to comprehend through theoretical learning process, bitcoin have to be viewed from the general approach that would cover every aspect of its network, maybe this could be more being specific on a particular topic, targets on beginners or any other relevant aspect of this digital currency we think there's need for more information, i will suggest you go in this manners as well to either cover and focused on a particular target aspect with bitcoin, some people have found learning through video aid very important to fast track the process, you've done a very nice and presentable video clip.

I really like the end of your video where you said it's just a beginning and then the price keep rising without any limit.

Maybe focusing about money oriented isn't really a good way to introduce BTC to newcomers, but your are intended to talk about the price, so I can't judge it. How long you create this video? considering this is your first video in this year, the previous one was a year ago.

I watched the video and its exciting and tons of information can do enlightenment to newbies, it's good too if we teach right here how they secure the wallet they have so they don't need to get worry about the things bother them regarding with the safety of their bitcoin. I'm curious is that all of your drawing and your voice over?, if that so it was so cool, its good too if you made the animation on it, I just got a too much wave transitions with the change of panel.

OP I was very amazed and really liked the video, is this really your work?. Actually I feel that the video is not only a video about a brief explanation about Bitcoin but I think the video is also an interesting and unique work of art.
It's rare to see a video explaining Bitcoin briefly by combining or combining videography and the art of drawing like that in my opinion.
I think this is a good and really interesting way to introduce Bitcoin to beginners because some people are more able to capture something new through videos or visuals than through reading, sometimes when reading an article about Bitcoin knowledge it will feel very boring and feel long but with visual videos like this it feels more fun and feels short.

first of all, Nice video, nice art and a nice choice of music, I really enjoyed it.

I love the quick summary of Bitcoin prices throughout the years, and yeah, I think it is a good quick introduction for people new to Bitcoin. that being said, it is kind of unavoidable to talk about the other "boring" parts of Bitcoin and the risks it has(which newcomers really need to know).

You talked about bitcoin to reach ATH of $69000, but you did not talk about how the price has fallen already which makes it cheap to buy again because the price of bitcoin is $26000 now and you uploaded that YouTube video not up to an hour ago.
the OP did say after the $69k ATH that the price is crashing once again.

In just 4 minutes you want to introduce to the world a more than decade of Bitcoin existence. Not very professional and I felt your video lack sentiments like

  • Why Bitcoin is important
  • What was the actual reason why the government to date fears Bitcoin
  • Why Bitcoin is important and what makes it unique

What I liked about the video is how you created hand-drawn images to graphics and I assume you might have used a video AI to create such content. The voiceover is not human I feel you might have used another AI to do it. Such videos using AI have been going viral on the Internet. I hope your video does the same as eventually it will help Bitcoin.

It is nice and engaging, newbies will not know when they follow the video from start to finish because of how engaging your mini movie is.

I recognize the amount of creativity needed to put that clip together, and I applaud you for it. The video will be able to help newbies who are technology friendly but not to newbies who do not have a means to watch the short movie. Also newbies who will be referred to this video, will still need to be followed up.

From now moving forward, I will refer people to your mini movie if they demand knowing about the history of bitcoins and how the journey has been so far.

Haha, Hats off OP,
Really Cool and entertaining stuff, a great way to cover up the storyline I would say in my Bitcointalk timeline you are  2nd or 3rd who thought of the Box and created stuff like that for the First and Second there were guys doing quite relevant stuff one was involved in the mining setup guides and the second one was creating documentaries and fun facts names I don't remember haha ...

But OP really appreciates how you presented the topic in a decent way and adopted a new approach to help newbies cover up all the stuff in a few minutes of video. Keep it up.

The video was good, however I felt it should have been a bit more informative (doesn't matter if it would be over 10-20 minutes) because those who are willing to know more about btc and the technology, will obviously need more information than you gave. When you keep giving goosebumps to your viewers, that's when you keep your viewer stuck at your video watching it till the end. That's an art too. ;)

Really very informative video. thank you for presenting such a beautiful video. Your video is helpful for newbies. Through this video, those who do not understand easily about Bitcoin, will know about Bitcoin very easily after watching this video. Your video also shows about bitcoin halving day. I will try to educate people about Bitcoin by showing this video of yours.

All I can say is “wow this is amazing”

In the first 10 seconds I thought your video would be boring because it's only video recording images, and at first I thought the images weren't that great either. But after I watched for 20 seconds, I found it interesting, your speaking style and sound effects make it even more interesting. cool bro, you have summarized bitcoin price movements well and provided a brief background why bitcoin prices rise and fall like a roller coaster

You must have spent a lot of time creating those images and making those videos. I really enjoy the videos you make. I have subscribed to your channel, I hope you can be even more enthusiastic about creating content about bitcoin

I prefer to first ask newcomers what bitcoin space they're interested in. I think we should have had enough of dictating newcomers to only knowledge around bitcoin's price history, the way this ultimately leads them to have high expectations about their investment.
I'm sure that most of the failure stories of someone's bitcoin journey out there are through this route of introduction, while our main bitcoin activities in/out this forum isn't just as a investor.

Nice one OP. The video tried to simplify the volatility of bitcoin and some of the causes. At least newbies will understand the price history of bitcoin from inception till date. It can also make them overcome FUD because they have gotten a picture of the past. But I would have preferred the video to be more colorful with different pictures and not just a graphic display. I don't know if it was relative, the background sound was too loud. Notwithstanding it was a good try and a good teaching material for newbies. Well done for putting your creativity to work for the spread of bitcoin awareness.

I love this one Not This Time (The Bitcoin Obituaries Song) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hlN2nel5HI)

Nothing can knock Bitcoin down since 2009 and Bitcoin is still here with us, survived and be strong. If OP wants to make a new video with similar format, let's use some information from two resources about Bitcoin obituaries.

Bitcoin is dead (https://buybitcoinworldwide.com/bitcoin-is-dead/)
Bitcoin obituaries (https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-obituaries/)

Bitcoin is a bit confusing and people tend to run from it because it seems to difficult to understand some terms

I was a bit tired and didn't really appreciate how "shaky" the camera is and I was only waiting when you'll zoom out so I could see the whole picture. I was expecting that it will just be a drawing on a board so I was surprised when it was actually a painting on the wall. My favorite part was the the monkey photos and the background sound there hehe.

It's a reality that people are more interested in investing so talking about the price volatility is a good thing. The video didn't come of as a shill to me so I don't see where you got the "high expectation".

Very creative, you managed to summarize the 13-year history of Bitcoin's journey which is full of twists and turns and various consequences that affect the price of Bitcoin in a short video. Bitcoin has passed 13 years since Satoshi first introduced it to the public, Bitcoin's journey has not reached its halfway, there are still other surprises that could happen in the following years.

Regarding the price of Bitcoin which continues to increase without limit, I am very optimistic that Bitcoin can break new records when more people still find Bitcoin boring to learn or who are not ready to accept Bitcoin in their lives. When the positive direction has approached most of the people who have never been involved in Bitcoin become interested in learning Bitcoin, then it will be the golden age of Bitcoin as more and more people are competing to get Bitcoin.

It is a very entertaining video with all its contents, which can be a lesson for all of us. Uh, I miss the old days when we could buy Bitcoins cheaply.

You should make other videos like that so more people will watch it. And it can also make your YouTube channel more and more followers. I have also become a follower of your channel hahaha.

After watching the video, we see that the fall of Bitcoin has always been influenced by third parties who want to take advantage of people's panic. And they've made it this far, and I suspect they will be like that in the future too, unless people can avoid panic.

I love the way this video was presented. Animated explanation video always gets interesting for many people. Who wants to listen to an hourly lecture from an old man? It will not be enough to learn everything about bitcoin but it can enhance interest among the newcomers.

The ending was great in how you show the rise of Bitcoin in price. I was expecting a breakdown of supply and demand theories as well so that newcomers get well know about the reason behind the positivity in bitcoin price.

Post by: red4slash on August 25, 2023, 03:14:55 PM
It was a very good video and I enjoyed the presentation of the video and could easily digest some of the information given by the video maker.
The video is very cool but on the other hand, it just gives a statement that bitcoin is worth it by wrapping up the history of bitcoin from the beginning until it reached ATH along with some views on some of the parties that block and want bitcoin a little bit.

This might be one of the videos that can attract people to dive into bitcoin but on the other hand this should also be one of the references that we only see the positive side (which is in the video) so if you really want to provide this video to attract new people then we must also provide an understanding of the risks and consequences that must be faced because in the end to realise it from start to success requires a lot of time and processes that must be done.

I definitely liked the visual way this video was made, OP. I get your intention to get newbies attention, however, bitcoin is not only about price, and if somebody wants to get acquainted with it, he or she has to be familiar with the technical part of crypto. I believe, that without this understanding, it is nearly impossible to make successful predictions of the price, and that is what almost everyone is interested in. Even the volatility, which you mentioned in the video is tightened to the technicals. Maybe you should make something similar to this cartoon but focused on the technical and economic issues?

Post by: AicecreaME on August 25, 2023, 03:37:44 PM
Kudos for the illustration if you drew that, just do some smooth transitions next time by doing clips of that video instead of doing just one video.

People will be interested if they are really curious or wanted to try Bitcoin, but if they are just pretending, trust me, they won't even last long in the world of cryptocurrency. Most of the people who will see your video thumbnail in YouTube will just probably ignore it. But anyways, I'm sure those who really wanted to do some research about Bitcoin will see your video as a help in their bitcoin journey.

I like the way animation is done on, like, a white room wall or something, and the video is just rolling over the appropriate places. I haven't seen things done this way before, so it looks very fresh, unlike typical financial animation styles. The same goes for the sound effects alongside the narrator's voice. Maybe sometimes it's a bit over the top, but again, so fresh compared to typical light tunes.
It's short, informative, and very creative. So I'd say it's not just for newbies, it makes a positive impression even on someone who generally knows all the stuff the video's talking about. Thank you for sharing it, op. Great job.

I watched the video to the end and I would title it "Bitcoin the rollercoaster." I must say this is one of the shortest and most informative video that I've ever watched about Bitcoin and I have saved it because it's going to be very handy in my bitcoin evangelism. Whoever created the video did a great job with the illustration and sound effects, it blends perfectly well. Most of the important information about Bitcoin are well captured as well as some setbacks like the Mt gox scandal, china ban, emergence of shitty coins, covid 19 pandemic and many more.

I like how the video quickly and subtly lets people know that it's not all green on the Bitcoin side. People will know from the very beginning that Bitcoin has gone through rough patches and very rough patches. So these newbies don't think it's something they can rich off of overnight.
I would have loved you to include the years of the dips and bulls in the video so newbies will know that they have to be patient because the period between the dip and the bull is not always short.

Maybe focusing about money oriented isn't really a good way to introduce BTC to newcomers, but your are intended to talk about the price, so I can't judge it.

I don't think you can talk about Bitcoin to newcomers and not talk about money. You have to compare it to Fiat currencies and you also have to talk about Bitcoin as money because that's exactly what it is; a currency. Bitcoin is money so talking about Bitcoin is talking about money.

It's a great initiative, and it is not devoid of creativity and uniqueness, but I don't think it's the best idea to introduce Bitcoin to newcomers. Merely focusing on the price movement since the inception of Bitcoin 13 years ago will not provide a clear picture of what it is. I mean, the idea of ​​creating Bitcoin and the significance of its launch cannot be limited to studying the price. Even the price fluctuations have many interpretations that are subject to many interpretations.
In my opinion, the best methods are those that seek to simplify the idea of Bitcoin for children, and it would be good if they were in the form of animated images to facilitate the smooth understanding of the idea. In a simpler sense, it is to introduce Bitcoin to newcomers as if they were children.

Very interesting video about the price movement of bitcoin from 2009 to this year. At least this video will encourage newbies for them to understand that bitcoin is worth investing in and nothing can stop the price of bitcoin to keep on increasing with every four years circle. I live the art work and the pictures are very colorful.

You must have taken a lot of time to create the art work. You should go to the service board for some art contest by Roobet and try your luck over there with your skill. I never got bored watching the video and I watched it twice.
Thanks OP.

That's a the most wonderful video I have seen and I really appreciate the artist. But how can you proof that its you who made that video. Not trying to discourage your or disrespect you because if you are the real artist then I am doomed so all I am asking gently is you must have proof that the video belong to you. Like you could put your username in the description of the video at least.

Besides all skepticism I am really amazed to sees the art work first I thought it is 2D on paper then when things started to go in 3D I thought these might be next level animation but at the end I came to realized you have done all the work on walls. I means that's some next level art you have shown here.

But, still teaching newbie about BTC need more than this video. I will try to share the video in my circle and will see how many newbies came to get idea about it and what questions arise in the there mind after seeing the video.

Very nice video, although the video only focuses on the price history of bitcoin and the fear and adoption that created these phases, but I really enjoyed my short fun bitcoin journey, the video editing is beautiful and much appreciated.

The story took me back to my journey when I saw Bitcoin for the first time it was around 300$ and then after a short while it jumped to 1000$ and that's when my real interest in Bitcoin started.

The video is good, but the focus should not be on the history of Bitcoin in terms of price only. I wish the unique features of Bitcoin were explained at the beginning of the video and explained how it works in a simple way, and then presented the stages it went through.

Admirable! At first I was thinking it's a regular video which shows the price history, but then I saw the roller coaster, the paintings, the room. Really cool, I would want to be there right now.  :P

technology, money, socio-economic issues...
On the contrary, I think concerning people on their lack of knowledge on how modern money works, is the source of interest. When someone asks me what's the point of bitcoin, I don't just start with 21m, censorship resistance and privacy. I respond back with a question - "Have you ever thought how modern money works?", and then I go with "Who's allowed to increase how much money there is?". And it has turned out, worryingly often, that they think the printing must happen if there are enough gold reserves.

No joking. Go out and verify my claim. There are lots of people out there who think money is still pegged to gold, and that central banks can't just create money out of thin air.

Absolutely creative! Crafting videos containing educational content but wrapped in an enjoyable package can effortlessly fend off the tedium that often accompanies learning. I'm pretty confident that such videos hold their own market and resonate with those who prefer a more laid-back approach.

In the future, we might even witness channels dedicated to unraveling the functionalities and utilities of Bitcoin. After all, everyone is naturally intrigued to discover the array of possibilities BTC unlocks once it resides snugly in one's wallet.

The more alluring its utilities become, the more captivating Bitcoin's trajectory promises to be.

This video initiative is arguably good and it arouses the interest of anyone wanting to venture into cryptocurrencies and BTC in particular and has been looking for a way to feed the interest.

Another concern would be how to effectively deliver this piece you have created to the right audience who need it.
While you mainly highlighted the price stance so far, it is quite important to newbies that at least some sort of healthy video exist that proves that it is a project that would last into the future.
Nice job OP, this confirms that the mind of a creative person is indeed a fertile land for growth.

Hey man I loved the video. It is definitely for the newbies and peeps who have not really been into Bitcoin since the beginning. They can understand it in the most funny way and just like you said it is not at all boring. You got it storied and portrayed very nicely for anyone to understand this. Guess what it can also be shown to kids these days and they would start talking about this new cartoon in no time. Hope so you will take this to the next level and keep up this episode-based show. Imagine you might get popular someday in the Bitcoin world.  ;)

I am not sure how but is this drawn on actual paper and there was a trick of video camera and various angles? I mean I am impressed by the way it is shown and feels like real animation somehow. Did you do it often or you just thought it would look like better this way?

And these are one of the ways I think Bitcoin  shoukd be Introduced and over the time, ive noticed that some persons that introduce bitcoin  to others make it seem like without their prospects investing at a certain period of time, they might miss out which is very wrong.
And I want to advice that people shoukd take things very easy with these newcomers as there are more they should learn outside investing.

I think the initial time I viewed the complete video posted on the forum was quite captivating. It could greatly assist newcomers in swiftly grasping the concept of Bitcoin. The video was concise yet packed with detailed explanations. Bitcoin has often been underestimated, yet each time its potential becomes clear, people eagerly adopt it, causing the chart to turn green. Presently, Bitcoin seems poised for another bullish run; it just requires a catalyst to ignite it.

Amazing vid. I enjoyed every single minute of it. It's quick and concise, doesn't bullshit around and I like how it's artistically-made so people will still find enjoyment from being blasted about the history of bitcoin. If I could rate it I'd give it a solid 10/10. I reckon you might want to make this a full-time feature on your channel. Just make informative content about tech marvels and all that through artistic interpretation of how it works. You'd be big in the youtube scene.

Oh, and you also earned a subscriber. Amazing vid mate, hope to see more from you.

I thought the video you made was very interesting and I was surprised that it was a drawing on your wall. At first I thought you were drawing all that on a big canvas but at the end of the video I was surprised that your drawing medium was actually a wall.
Even though it is short video if it is to introduce new users, I think your video can be used as a reference to show newcomers who want to know some of the history of Bitcoin.
You explain some of the advantages that Bitcoin has but unfortunately I feel incomplete without a detailed explanation of these points. However, I admit that overall the presentation of your images and the way you video are really great.

I really appreciate how you did the video and worked hard to prepare the materials just to keep the video more entertaining to the audience. Well, I could say it will gain interest to the viewers and can bring something to change their views and minds but as we are talking about being effective, we couldn't be sure of that as it lies now on how the views did it in real life. In reality, many people love to watch movies but that is just it, they don't do it in actuality. I won't say it was not effective but we can't be sure if this will work effectively 100%.

It is really a roller coaster, the video made me dizzy (motion sensitive here).  I do not know if the shaking is an effect but it looks like it is not since the camera is moving zooiming and zooming out while moving on the drawing board.  Aside from some misspelled words, I find the video interesting, I would have fun watching if it wasn't shaky though. 

All in all, good job but I do not think that it is that interesting to watch I applaud your effort in sharing information about Bitcoin Price history.

I was intrigued and I usually don't watch videos posted from the forum because most of them are clickbait and just wanna gain some views without the intention to educate people.

I like how you've made the video and gone through the history of it. Keep it up, hopefully you get the deserving amount of subscribers to your channel so that it will motivate you to make more videos.

The ending literally tells what everyone is thinking here for a very long time, yeah, we're just getting started.

I really appreciate how you did the video and worked hard to prepare the materials just to keep the video more entertaining to the audience. Well, I could say it will gain interest to the viewers and can bring something to change their views and minds but as we are talking about being effective, we couldn't be sure of that as it lies now on how the views did it in real life. In reality, many people love to watch movies but that is just it, they don't do it in actuality. I won't say it was not effective but we can't be sure if this will work effectively 100%. 

You have a good point here. Knowing the video is good, watching the video and garnering views, and actually making a change and causing action are three different things. No matter how good the video is (which it is, kudos to OP on that) and the views it will get, if the viewers do not put what they learned and digest from the video then it won't be branded as effective. At the end of the day, it is up to the viewers on wether or not they adapt what the learned and use it or let it just be a part of their watch history.

So much effort went into that video and the graphics. I loved it. It is like a bedtime story that I can tell to my nephew and niece.

It is more than just talking about the price of bitcoin. The voices in the background are like the public sentiments - the influencers, the people who want to see bitcoin die, I didn't even remember the Facebook coin. This explainers reminded me of it.

I look forward to the sequel of the video because that can't be all that there is to bitcoin history so far. You have put in a lot of work and I appreciate you for that. In the last video I would love to see you talk about exchanges- how people buy and sell bitcoin, I would also love to you talk about where people store their bitcoins after they buy it.

One of the biggest issues that I find is that Bitcoin seems to boring of a topic for most people...technology, money, socio-economic issues...
So for the past year and a half I've been working on this piece of art that turned into a newbie-friendly, fun and colorful mini movie,
that takes you through the roller coaster ride of bitcoin's 13-year history :)


https://youtu.be/Fvt1Ma1Nep4 (https://youtu.be/Fvt1Ma1Nep4)

I hope you enjoy it, and please help spread the word!
I enjoyed the video and it was quite creative even though the explanation only ranged from price movements in the early days of Bitcoin's presence until its last ATH, while regarding the technology and advantages of using Bitcoin in online transactions, there wasn't much or even no explanation about it, and it should have been included or maybe you intend to make another video because when an explanation about Bitcoin focuses on price then it will only make people who hear it feel like they have the opportunity to get rich quickly, without seeing other things which is also the initial purpose of making Bitcoin, but congratulations you have made a video that quite attractive with excellent video animations and colors, and another good thing about your video is that it has a short duration because if it is too long the duration will be very boring, so you can start making other videos with an explanation of Bitcoin from other aspects

I'm curious is that all of your drawing and your voice over?
I did the drawing, camera work, editing, script, guitar playing and audio effects. Hired a voice actor, bass player, drummer, audio mix and after effects guy.

is this drawn on actual paper and there was a trick of video camera and various angles?
This was all drawn on the wall in my old apartment living room, and then shot from up close. No animation involved besides some after effects that were done later.

How long you create this video?
I started the drawing probably at early 2021, I just wanted to see the full bitcoin graph on my wall, it gradually morphed into the idea of the video. I wasn't constantly working on it though. it's hard to say but there were probably about 3 months of full days of work in total.

you did not talk about how the price has fallen already which makes it cheap to buy again because the price of bitcoin is $26000 now and you uploaded that YouTube video not up to an hour ago.
There was a gap between finishing the drawing, shooting it, having to erase it (left the apartment), and then doing all the sound recording, editing, video effects etc. also there was not enough space on the wall past 2022, since I gave 2021-2022 more space then previous years. so yes it's just a bit outdated unfortunately but that's not the point, even if it was relevant to yesterday's price, it wouldn't be next year anyway.
the ending of the graph does get close to the 16K days, and in the ending of the video with the electric vision of the future it goes down before it flies up, I drove my animator crazy insisting to get that point right.

Aside from some misspelled words,
Which words?



Thanks to everyone for the fantastic reception and detailed comments!

Yes, there is much more to cover in order to fully grasp what Bitcoin is, it's almost impossible to do so in one video.

This whole project only started because I wanted to express my burning passion for the bitcoin revolution so I drew it as fire (and also wasn't satisfied with looking at small graphs on screens). Then I realized the potential for a cool video, developed a script and added the drawings around it accordingly. The blockchain-roller coaster was a late addition for example.

I did try to include many different element that are presented in a story format:
-banks always fuck us over
-btc isn't controlled by banks and govermnet
-it was a collaborative process that grew organically
-dollar is inflationary unlike btc
-halving cycle
-other coins are shitcoins
but mostly the biggest point I was trying to paint is that the short term volatility is mostly caused by people just being clueless and hyped/FUDed, and that in the big picture it gets bigger and stronger after every crash - while the dollar keeps getting debased.

I threw in all the 'big headlines' at the end (decentralized, democratic, incorruptible..) to let newcomers know - there are so many reasons why bitcoin is great and strong, but with some mystery about it, having the narrator tease explaining it in the next video (also to force myself to keep creating content). Again, it's impossible to go into everything in one video.

So yes, it's about price (the video is basically a price chart!) but it's so much more then that. Yes, it's not enough to get someone to invest, but having watched the video, some new info will sink in, a seed will be planted, and then the person's mind could be more open next time they hear about bitcoin, some curiously may arise.

So as a promised sequel I intend to break down all those headlines. It will make for a more informative video, but hopefully the roller coaster video will lead some curious people to it. I will need to think of new creative ways to make it visually interesting and to keep people engaged.

It's a reality that people are more interested in investing so talking about the price volatility is a good thing. The video didn't come of as a shill to me so I don't see where you got the "high expectation".
I'm not trying to conclude earlier, the fact that the interest of newcomers in prices is those with a background of less good economic standards. Most of the bitcoin information on the internet is about fluctuations, speculation, signals, investment values of whales, etc. With the preferences such of information they consume, then they start throwing questions at you like "what is the potential for bitcoin" in order for us to achieve a better economic level, and most likely you'll tell the price history more or less like the OP video. That's what I call that, indirectly you dictate newcomers to have high expectations for bitcoin.

This was a fun little video, I appreciate you sharing it with us!

I think this is a great way to share bitcoin and help explain it to people. Another way that I’ve always been fond of is showing people physical bitcoins like Casascius coins. This is why Mike Caldwell actually created them, as a way to help introduced bitcoin to those whom were having a hard time conceptualizing it.

Either way, creates ways like this are a fantastic way to teach people.

I don't deny that boring topic is one of the issues. But the main issue is still how people's trust on Bitcoin. People still assume Bitcoin has no unclear future due to its high volatility and too much bad issues on it. And another main problem is the legality of Bitcoin around the world. Since there are still prohibition (ban) on some countries, that make newbies are afraid and even unable to involve in Bitcoin.

However, introducing Bitcoin in creative way like this, surely will attract people. I like how you organize the content of the video, it is interesting. The visual and sound effects are really enjoyable and meaningful. But there is still lack information we got from the video. It is just about the price history of Bitcoin, nothing else. I think it is just a sharing video about Bitcoin price history, not a video for introduce what Bitcoin is. People need more complex (detailed) information to understand what Bitcoin is.

Anyway, it's a great video, dude!  ;)

You have done a great job creating this whole thing. Visual learning is much more effective than just reading. Introducing Bitcoin in such way is a marvelous idea. You used everything available around you, and that's a great talent to have. I would say this is a great way to tell what is inflation and how inflation in the past has helped Bitcoin to grow. You have skipped many details from the past TBH, but those are minor thing that newcomers won't find interesting enough.

Overall, I think this way of introducing Bitcoin is amazing. And your work is beautiful. Hoping to see more of your work in the future

A video material to present and introduce Bitcoin to the newbies is one of the best ways to be shared.
They're entertaining and easier to understand and the details will matter based on how you've made the presentation.
And for this one that you've made, I can say that you did a great job. As far as you can see, everyone has enjoyed every seconds that you've put into this video. Be consistent and make more of these educational videos whether they're introductory or timely issues about Bitcoin, you're doing a job well done.

There are many ways to introduce people to bitcoin - one of them is through media like videos.
Content creators are sometimes much better at presenting bitcoins to people regardless of their basic knowledge - but either way you should be one to get interested.

Anyways - it's a good video that deserves appreciation instead of only nice words. Good job, man.

Content creators have got the ability to make the people understand about bitcoin in a better way than by a common person. The content creators were much concerned about the views and they knew well about the viewers mentality. This is why they do it well and media is the right choice through which anything can be taught with ease than other forms of teaching. What OP have done is really appreciable and he should continue to do the best.

It's cool, although I believe there are also so many other similar videos out there too. Any means can be used to convince people to invest in Bitcoin, you just have to do it perfectly. But don't forget to lay down the risks as well, because if you don't, and they happen to lose their money, they will point fingers at you and say you misled. So let them know the good sides and the bad sides as well, but remember that the good sides will always outshine the bad, all it's going to take is just a little patience. And they should never forget to risk what they can afford to lose.

It's already proven that education and information retention is higher when you incorporate videos or visuals in education so it's no-brainer that education combined with entertainment and visuals is going to be a good idea. Content creators are like that because they know what's getting the engagement so they make sure that they can get the attention of people more and with those in mind, they will be able to make more money out of their videos since there's more engagement which is a win-win.

The video is really good and fun; it stuck with me to the end, and I am the kind of person who gets easily bored on a video that is mostly that long. That is really nice and creative, and for sure you've spent a lot of effort on it. I will save the link to the video for future needs as it is really informative, but mostly the highlight is the roller coaster ride and its history, so probably it is better to give this video to someone who is not really new to Bitcoin so that they can see or take back the history of Bitcoin.

You have made a great video, it quite clearly shows the period of existence of the crypto world. Even I, a member of crypto communities since 2016, was interested in watching it. But I would make such a video with fully animated digital pictures, but in general, you also did well. I didn't really understand why you think bitcoin is a boring topic for most people.
I am sure that this topic seems rather complicated to them. You need to know English perfectly, the basics of how exchanges work, and also be a bit of an IT specialist. I mean that the topic of cryptocurrencies is difficult for people, because it covers many narrow areas from different fields of knowledge. And not knowing any of these topics can scare off any person to the point that he will not start trying to learn something about cryptocurrencies.

The video is really fun as a creative way to introduce bitcoin to newbies. You have made very good videos, this video will increase  creative development and will learn a lot about crypto. This is a topic that many people would be interested to learn about bitcoin sitting at home or anywhere in the world. There are many ways to learn the history of bitcoin, and some are easier than others. But whether you are a beginner or an expert, many people will find the way and consistency to learn about bitcoin daunting because many people have little understanding very helpful for newbies.

From talking to many people, I find that it's mostly women who find the subject boring, unfortunately. (of course, it's really the fact that they lack curiosity and don't want to listen)
For the average person, it's scary like you said. people's entire lives are dictated by money, but they're not ready to face the truth and understand that the money they believe is real, is more of a scam. new technologies and technical know-how are scary.
Economics may seem boring, because people have zero grasp of them, and they think economics means just math.

Infographics and videos would be indeed more interesting to anyone but if it is with investment, then one's initiative will be always needed. Interest won't be enough to push someone especially towards investment which has a high risk. Not everyone can afford losing an amount but everyone is interested to earn profit; this is the problem. Inviting people towards this industry indeed is a good thing to do but always gauge and know who you are dealing with. If they'd be only interested because of profit alone and would be disregarding the risk of losing money  then you are wasting your time sharing this technology to them. Either you end up to be blamed or be thanked once they benefit from it.

Great movie!

That's actually an issue about BTC: lack of everyday life use. Nearly none of the business initiatives accept BTC directly without crypto to fiat transfer. This can be fixed some time later. At the moment the overall mining network is still not powerful enough to be able to conduct payments as fast as fiat online transaction systems.

You have a very unique way of video production, I think this is my first time seeing this. You actually draw it on paper and then you shot those drawing and record it into a video. I mean I saw some people who made video with hand-drawn style, but in the end they will digitalized it either by tracing it or just scan it. I am not really into your style, but I still could enjoy and appreciate it.

The good thing is, it's audio visual representation and that can always have more positive response and attention than big articles with boring long texts  sometimes we have to adopt new ways of promoting stuff that is more or less liked by Gen Z. The millennium gen already knows what is happening with bitcoin and they love reading. What you are doing is definitely nice. May be create a series and publish  :)

If this art was really done by you then you are really creative at your work. It was amazing.
At first I thought you have drawn it on a paper but as the video went on I found that the drawing is actually on the walls.
Although the information was generic yet I feel it was truly a great video for everyone to watch and especially the newbies.
