Bitcoin Forum

Hello everyone,

We all know Bitcoin is pretty hard to explain to those who do not share at least the basic knowledge of computer logic and coding and we all also know that many of those who do understand it often suffer from the curse of knowledge and are unable to explain it in simple, layman friendly ways so most people could have even a fighting chance of grasping the basic concept behind it.

But it is my opinion that in order for Bitcoin to grow people will want to understand at least the general picture of what it is and how it works before they'll consider using it and that's why I decided to do something about this IMO problem.


Despite being a complete amateur for creating video content, a foreigner to whom English is not the native language, and not even a programmer who would understand precisely how Bitcoin works I decided to start a youtube channel and recorded a few videos trying to make Bitcoin easier to understand. I think what I created has value and think I should continue making more, but I want to be sure so I decided to write this post and share my content with this community first and decide whether or not to continue based on the response I'll get.

So please, take a few minutes and check them all out, give me your feedback and consider rewarding me with a tip. If you do and the response is positive, I have a lot more topics and ideas in mind I'd like to cover and share. (disclaimer: these may not be 100% technically correct and I merely tried to be practically correct in order to keep it as simple as possible)

I like the name--bitcoincurve--and the premise. I'll assume there's a reason why the videos are currently private.

Like I said, I'm giving this community the exclusive preview.

That's very good.  Strong bullet point, slow talking.

Hazek these are brilliant mate!!! Just watched them all - really excellent writing and narration both. I think you explained the topics very well, perfect for newbs. Keep making these they are very needed!

And open to the public!!! :)

I'd want to make it available in french,  but while at it, if the English Caption was made (not automagically) it would translate itself into many more languages.

How does that work, can you add CC as text ?

feedback ...
liked part 1,
liked part 2 but i would have liked to see a map projection that shows greenland as smaller than south america. this is a minor detail that probably i am just personally sensitive to. you can probably disregard this ciriticism heh.
liked part 3 especially the imagery of the tungsten impregnated gold bar.
liked part 4,
liked part 5 (aside from the chosen map projection),
liked part 000 and for some reason it brought a tear to my eye. but i probably just need my meds. anyway, good stuff

donated (a ~dollar cuz i'm poor)

+1 awesome!!!!
love your voice!
only watched number 5. :D

keep up the good work.

really good stuff!

but your channel "bitcoincurve" has no videos in it, maybe you didn't set the videos to public?

Thanks for all the positive comments thus far, I really appreciate them and the tips you sent me.



I decided to keep all videos unlisted for 24hours after my announcement to give this community the exclusive preview. I'll switch them to public tomorrow.

I have no idea how that works, I'll have to look into it.

before you make them public, I'd like to take a crack at doing a few edits to your videos.

add sound FX, animations etc...

I'll edit one of your videos tonight and if you like it, i could do some edits on all the videos.

is that cool?

I sent you a pm.

good idea, it will be nice to know about some great new services and how to use them, for example bitcoinica etc... thx

Really awesome videos! I don't think they need editing. The sound and imagery are fine. No need to go overboard. It's the content that matters. Your delivery is smooth. Sharing videos on blog now.

What do you say at the end?  "All hell, signs and reason"? 

All hail science and reason.

^ That.  ;D I wanted a special good bye to end every video with and this is what I came up with :P

Sounds good to me.

 well i made a lil intro for the videos... but ya your right no need to go overboard.

also... i was playing around and i ended up making this ridiculous video

enjoy!  :D

Hehehe that's funny  :D

I like it thanks, got something to show people now as I am not to good at explaining things.

The first time I heard it I thought it said "all hell" too.  Only for a fraction of a second until the context kicked in.

I watched the videos with a text editor open ready to make a list of all the details you got wrong.  I didn't make a single note!  I was going to quibble about how we don't need rule changes to be either unanimous or simultaneous, and how the rules actually do change over time.  But I don't think it needs changing.

Great job!

Very good and clear videos :)
Thanks for sharing, hopefully you'll make them public soon for anyone to see and learn from.

Excellent work, thanks! Looking forward to sharing them.

Thank you everyone for the overwhelmingly positive response and I just wanted to let you know I made the videos public and will continue to make new ones.  8)

Can someone else please write the subtitles or dubbing too many different languages?I think will be cool idea

This sounds great. Watching....

These are awesome. All hail science and reason. Sent a Bitcoin for your efforts. :)

Very generous of you, thank you.  :) and yes; All hail science and reason!  8)
