So my brother just introduced me to bit coin and I am brand new to the concept- I am really excited about it though! It sounds like the way of the future and he gave me a link to this thread saying there is a 'bounty' out for a video
Well this is what I do for a living, and I think it would be very rewarding to do something like this because it is certain to help this new currency move forward and I would love to help!
Here is a project I finished recently that has animations and hopefully it can show that I am capable of completing this project:

I usually do live videos and the thought crossed my mind that it might be nice to have some of the professionals who helped to create bit coin mentioned in the video- I listened to the radio show here:

and I heard the guest talking about some of the economists etc that worked on the project- I wonder if there are some names we could drop (with their permission) to help bring confidence that this isn't some scam etc. Also, my brother showed me the following script:
Quote
Bitcoin is a currency for the internet. With Bitcoin, you can make payments
anywhere in the world conveniently and for little or no cost.
The Bitcoin system is not operated by any government. It is not controlled by
bankers. It is not the product of any corporation. Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer
internet currency. Every transaction within the Bitcoin system is checked and
processed collectively by the computers that form the Bitcoin network.
Everyone can use Bitcoin. There's no charge to join, and no need to register.
Just install the Bitcoin software and start it up. You can earn
Bitcoins by selling products and services to the Bitcoin community, or you can
buy bitcoins from exchanges.
To send bitcoins to someone else, click on "Send coins". Choose the recipient
from your address book, or paste in their Bitcoin receiving address. To receive
bitcoins, tell the sender your Bitcoin receiving address so that they can send
you some coins. You don't need to have your Bitcoin software running when someone
sends you coins.
The total number of bitcoins is fixed, but they are subdividable and can support
any level of trade. Bitcoins are originally earned by those whose computers are
processing Bitcoin transactions, and it's also possible to earn small
transaction fees from certain kinds of Bitcoin transactions. This provides an
ongoing incentive for people to allow their computers to process Bitcoin
transactions.
The Bitcoin system is underpinned by mathematics and secured by public key
cryptography. Because Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer system, only valid transactions
that are acceptable to the network will be processed. Someone attempting to
defraud the system would need to control more computer power than all of the
honest network nodes combined, so there is strength in numbers.
To get started, visit bitcoin.org and download the software or join the
forum. Bitcoin is an exciting and potentially game-changing currency.

And I wasn't sure if this was actually something everyone agreed on or not. I am not sure if this script really shows the POWER of what bit coin is- what I mean is that I think it gets across the main points, but I am talking more of the type of video that INSPIRES you almost like a movie preview- we need to MARKET this to people- get them SO EXCITED about the CONCEPT that they want to learn more- then we can have other videos that explain the DETAILS. That is the vision I was thinking, only because if we create a video with the most power, then the curiosity/excitement at the concept will get them interested to learn more, and we can make a series of videos that will explain the other details. A short 2-3 minute video would be the most bang for your buck- because it will have the most potential to go viral, with the most potential to get people interested. So here is a list of requirements that I am thinking needs to be focused on for the first video to get across the power of what bit coin is- even though I still feel I have much to learn:
-This new currency is no longer controlled by the rich- it is power given back to the people (democracy)
-It can not be stopped because it uses the same system as p2p (confidence)
-No fees required for transactions (free)
-cash for the digital age (simple)
-more secure encryption system than online banking (Security)
-It's as anonymous as you want it to be (privacy)
-A call for help to make the world a better place (participation)
With these things (and any changes or suggestions by the community) I think we can create a very powerful 2-3 minute introduction to pump people up about this concept.
So I'm not sure if this is extremely different from what everyone were thinking and would like to hear what your thoughts are.
