Bitcoin Forum

Salam (peace) to you All ~

I'm Ahmad Al-hemmally from Libya (https://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/the-africoin-report-libya), It's been more than a year since I started BTCitcoin, and I've been recording my life with it in comic strips, I called them "A Life Changing Tip", each one tells about something that happened to me with Bitcoin.

I posted them in /r/Bitcoin & letstalkbitcoin.com before.. Now I'm posting them here:


EDIT: Thanks to your feedback, I made a small blog for them (https://worldchangingtip.wordpress.com/)

--------------------------

Do you like them? Dislike them?
Do you have an Idea you want me to make comic strip for?
I'd most likely make more as I become more of a Bitcoiner, Do you want me Puy the new ones here on bitcointalk.org?

Tell me what do you think?

"Why I use Coinbase"

Deep. *High five - Coinbase 4 lief*


You're a great artist, is this a digital drawing or photocopied? If it's digital, do you use a Wacom?

Is there a certain schedule you go through, like 1 comic strip a week, or do you just go with it? Or have you just finished making these?

Thanks, I draw by hand and use scanner (and do some edits before putting them online), I don't set time to draw them.. sometimes 4 a week sometimes 1 in three months. depending on my mood and if I have something I want to draw...

--------------

I actually have a webcomic =read here= (http://bato.to/reader#25dac4dcfb2f63fb) (originally in arabic) but translating to english it is a chore so it's been a long time since I updated.

Wow, your drawings are really amazing!! It's a pity that some of the early drawings frames are a little off.. :P Really like your drawing style, would be even better if the drawings were bigger!

Hope to see more of your drawings, and with your drawings you can even start a small blog about it! :D The best thing about this is that it even teaches you a thing or so about bitcoin, interesting comic indeed! :) :)

Some nice work you've there! Have you ever thought of monetizing your comic ? Instead of putting the pictures on some hosting site why not create your own blog for the magazine and upload high quality colorful drawings?I'm sure everyone would love to read them!

thats funny and good comic strip,its all your made?i think its more atractive if you give some color to that comic,and you can post it not just link,but picture directly appear on your post,i hope you have some blog to post all your comic,i will wait for that.

You have a real talent for drawing. You should still your services to people on this forum. Are you also good at graphic design? There is a high demand for them.

Thanks for the comments, I,m glad you liked my work ;D


I don't know If I can make the drawing bigger.. I'll most likely make more in the future~
have any ideas you want me to draw?


I donno about color, But I'll try coloring them...
I should probably make a Blog, now that more than few people said I should do that.


Thanks, my graphic design isn't the level I can offer it as a service.. but if you want me to draw you something small (like those) I'll see if I can  ;)

Nice work I love this comic.
The part that I like just received the 5000 satoshi his expression as it gets the jackpot.  ;D

Wow, really cool comics man! The cool thing is, that it is all so familiar. I bet everybody who was late for the party (>100 usd bitcoins) went through almost exactly the same process as you are showing here.

Looking forward to reading more of your adventures in bitcoin!

wow, impressive work, really amazing!!!!

That's one of my favorites too !!


I figured that...
Now I'm thinking of making a blog for these


Thank you very much

Episode 1 was me back in 2011 when I first heard of btc :(

I think the price then was about $3-5 and I had about $300 but couldn't figure out a way to make it grow further but getting btc was next to impossible and quite frankly I do not trust random people when money is concerned..hell, I don't trust my own family where money is concerned; they would kick me under a bus to get to a quid I might be standing on if it would buy them a Mars bar :p

Great work, I'm amazed at how much effort you put into this already, you've got an entire series there :)
You should host them on a website!

The overall graphic content is very good, but the text boxes is a bit messy. You should take a bit more time and write neatly in those boxes. I have to sometimes strain my

eyes to read it. This after all is the message you want to get across to the reader. Hope to see much more of your work around here, with a bit more attention to detail.

Some color would be nice too... but I guess that is your theme with this?  ::)

Wow. These are really good. You could make a business out of this. Get peoples ideas and make them into a comic. You would make a decent amount of money.

Wow. You are so lucky. You earned a quater of what I can earn by making 1 post. You are so rich now.

Thanks for all of your comments, Now I made a blog to put these on: https://worldchangingtip.wordpress.com/

These are great comic strips very funny some.

Have you ever thought about making a full comic book and sell it via the forums I would buy a copy.

Again great skills.

I'd rather to make it free and ask for donations :)

I thought about making Bitcoin comic but not to extent to really make one... but I already have non-btc related story called "Hand Command" you can read here: http://bato.to/reader#25dac4dcfb2f63fb

That's good work, pal. How long have you been drawing? Do you also draw other comics not bitcoin-related?

Keep on like that. The community needs artists to promote it too!

I think I really like your drawings and stories. Some of these are really the true reflection of the journey of most beginners in bitcoin.

Great jobs! I guess I have missed the time when Changetip was so popular and there were tipping everywhere.
Nowadays it is getting less popular and it's no longer free- but I guess the company still need to earn some to cover the operation cost. I still love the way changetip enables micro-tipping.

Good work. This is most probably the first ever bitcoin comic could be worth looking into having a small run of them printed and sold for Bitcoin this could be a investment for comic collectors too. Good luck with it

such a funny comic strip i think, quite entertaining and fill my free time  ;D

This comic book should be made. The bitcoin seekers might be led in crowds to buy this one using bitcoin, of course. Haha.

cool i look at the first 3 strips now time for food

Is is very good comic , the way you are presenting is good, you can try with comic book with full details about bitcoin and its develpement.
Its a new concept of bitcoin expressing comic.

Very interesting work! Good way of spreading the word about bitcoin!

I love every comic strip, and I also have never seen a comic strip about bitcoin, I hope you make a lot more, and post them on your website or in this forum. good luck with your comic strip :)

Very good work OP expressing the journey of Bitcoin in Comic way, it is very simple and clear without any hype , just simply sending the message of how a new bitcoiner comes to know about bitcoin and then how he works and his journey. very good keep it up.

Best of luck for you future works.

Lov'em! You did a great Job! You should try and make a fundraise to published them on paper!

I feel your experience with PayPal as My country is not completely supported (support sending only not receiving) and bitcoin was my best alternative to receive online payments. nice comics and it can promote for BTC easily without and complex tech terms
