I am trying to make a new economic movement called the "Copyfree Movement". What is it about?
Copyfree is the act of declaring all your art or creations into "public domain". It is more about letting your artwork being subjected to the normal rules of property law, rather than bullshit of intellectual property.
So, I been declaring all my artwork "copyfree" by now, but there is nothing much happening. I am only one artist, and I am not a particularly good one yet. I am getting microbitcoin patronage and profiting from it, but they don't add to even 1 BTC.
So what to do now?

Would it be awesome if we have a rap battle between Satoshi Nakamoto and Ben Bernanke over whom monentary system is the best?  Receptionist: Welcome to the FEE conference on Austrian Economic. Bernanke: Tell those Austrian crazies that I have arrived! Nakamoto: And tell the Austrians that I have come to counter Bernanke and his shenanigans. Receptionist: (looks to Nakamoto)...who are you? Nakamoto: I am a cryptography researcher who invented a new kind of money called....BITCOIN! |

Those who are members of the Bitcoin Mutual Aid Association, please vote on proposal http://fivegrinder.com/group/Bitcoin%20Mutual%20Aid%20Association/Bounty%20for%20Association%20SiteThe budget for the mutual aid association is only 10 BTC, which is surely insufficient. However, I don't want to drain the treasury of the organization, so we're raising two members' worth of dues every cycle. The last proposal we voted on didn't get enough vote, so I was left donating my own money to the CCC.(Still working that) On one thought, the democratic structure of five-grinder could leave our treasury drained due to people voting themsleves money. So once our organization's site is up, we'll work on a new governance structure. |

IF there are price deflation, the value of bounties rise. This increase incentive for people to complete them.
However, new bounties will offer less money.

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.
Nice start. But I think I got a better introduction. ---> What is bitcoin? <--- Bitcoin is money. It is a currency like any others that is used to buy goods and services via the internet. CUE VISUAL CUES: Bitcoins IS LIKE the... USD. Yen. Yuan. Pound. Euro. |

Why are you sold on bitcoins?
Here's my story. An open source gaming of mine link to bitcoin to a thread. I checked it out, then I immediately realize its potential for agorism. I was sold right there.
I never heard of the idea called cryptocurrency though I was vaguely aware of crypto-anarchism. I thought about digital money but concluded that they will never work in practice because there's no way to render them truly scarce.

How about a learning site for programmer-wannabe?
There would be three levels:
1. Short videos that are continuously modified and improved. Most of the content are free. Ads supported.
2. Flat tuition fee. You get put in a class of 30 individuals headed by a tutor for 3 weeks on a subject.
3. Pay as you go tuition. You get to pick a tutor who will devote X amount of minutes to you.
