Title: I'm making a bitcoin overview website for non-techies and would love help Post by: Evan.Center on August 26, 2014, 04:04:29 AM http://www.evan.center/bitcoin/ < I'm aiming to make a site that is very objective and gives good overviews on interesting current events. IMO bitcoin falls under this category pretty well. If you guys would be so kind, I would be extremely grateful if you listed any thoughts about the site, pros/cons of bitcoin, and any thoughts, news pieces, videos, etc. that are related to bitcoin in any manner.
Thanks a ton! Title: Re: I'm making a bitcoin overview website for non-techies and would love help Post by: busterroni on August 26, 2014, 05:39:08 AM Good idea, good luck, I'll follow this site's progress :)

Some nice pictures related to what you are describing rotate around the explanation. The readers won't feel boring to read technical things. Or you can create some flash animation. There are a lot of info out there. Take your time!

You say bitcoin is in a legal grey area just now and that is very much true, a good idea would be to list all the countries that have passed laws on bitcoin and what those laws are. If your aim is to teach people about btc then the law is always a good place to start. If someone was to get into btc only to get a tax bill at the end of finanical year that they didn't know about then they would probably just pack it in and go back to fiat currency. Also make a BIG point of wallet security, be easy so as not to scare them off, but also don't want new adapters to be ripped off. Keep up the good work!

Yes, I plan on relying solely on text as that will keep the site light as well as clean. I'm definitely going to try and continualy add to the site as time goes on.

Great insight regarding the law, I'll definitely add in a table of countries and their legal stance on Bitcoin. I'll definitely add link to the Armory wallet and other services. Any and all more comments are welcome, otherwise I'll bump this thread once I add some more noteworthy info! -Evan |
