Looking for Bitcoin millionaires to appear in TV documentary

[Kprawn]

The 1 post wonder with no contact details will catch no fish. 

I have over 1 million Satoshi... does that count? *Joke ....... Did he seriously think Bitcoin millionairs will respond to this?

Ask for a interview with the Twins and Mark MtGox and have Andreas host the show and you will have a sold out crowd and maximum viewer totals.

If he was legit he would be providing his name, and contact telephone number at a TV studio.

LOL. If big-time media players want to contact you, they contact you. They don't go onto bitcointalk.org, which is pretty smalltime in the big picture. I learned in mass communications and print journalism, if you want to interview say Arnold Schwarzenneger, call Arnold Schwarzenneger. So OP is probably small-time or phony. But that doesn't mean OP isn't legitimate, just not big.

This isn't wholly true. Where do you go exactly to find bitcoin millionaires or people who have made their fortune from it? It's not like these people have press agents you can call. This forum is a good start as this place was and still is essentially the hub of bitcoin activity. I remember a while back there was journalists looking for people to interview for a documentary who were involved in the cannabis growing industry and they asked on a popular growing board. Of course a lot of people thought it was a sting operation but it turned out to be a legit offer and the documentary was made along with the input and interviews of a couple of the members of the board who agreed to it (though I'm not saying this is a genuine offer).

Plus Op is no offering any sort of compensation payment for this 'job' either.

But they're millionaires! How much more money do they need?

The truth is - you are not suddenly turning into altruist when you earn your first million. I will give you an example: I do not think that some bitcoin millionaire who resides in Norway will fly to Great Britain just to be interviewed with his own money. He could do it, but what is the point doing this for free?

No one living in the US / EU is likely to come forward. They'll have tax problems. Go to the tax heavens such as Dominica, Cayman Islands, Channel Islands.etc, and you'll have a better chance... that is... if there are any BTC millionaires living there.

Well... try with this guy:

OP could try to contact Goat, MP, TAT, BCX. Most likely they will send him to the hell, but perhaps he will be lucky.

[The Connected Set Casting]

Hi everyone,

I'm also working for a TV production company looking to do an insightful documentary into people who've made enough money from Bitcoin to significantly change their lifestyles -we're refraining from saying millionaires, although for TV purposes viewers would obviously be more interested in the greater the amount of money made.

The company I work for is called The Connected Set http://www.theconnectedset.com, my name is Jaime Brown and I'm a researcher there (there's a pic of me and info actually on the website), my email is jaime@theconnectedset.com and our office number is 0208 617 1744, just do you know I'm a real person!

I completely understand your points of people making themselves vulnerable to tax and hack threats by revealing their identities, but if there were any people willing to talk to us (in confidence at this stage) then we'd love to hear from them.

Thanks for reading,

Jaime

You would think so, but there are always people who will come forward because some people like the attention. Look at any documentary about anything from the underworld or something in a legal grey area from drug dealers to arms  or whatnot you'll always get people willing to take part. Sometimes they might be fantasists or liars or just attention seekers but people like their 3 minutes of fame. Also, not everyone who earns a lot of money from bitcoin tries to hide it or launder it. Most will probably just cash out, pay their capital gains then spend their new wealth. That''s the easiest way and keeps you out of prison.

Hey guys,

I am a journalist based in the UK. I am hoping to meet "Bitcoin millionaires" who may be interested

in featuring in a channel4 TV documentary later this year. We are interested in interviewing anyone who

has made their fortune from Bitcoin, be it early investors or Bitcoin entrepreneur's. If you would like to discuss

this further please drop me a message stating your name, contact telephone number and your Bitcoin "net worth"

and me or one of the team will be in touch soon.

Kind regards

Chris

Yeah, and while they are at it, they might as well save you the trouble and give you their private keys.

This is what it sounds like right now:

Next week's headline:
"Bitcoin Millionaire Tied Up and Tortured For His Private Keys After Responding To TV Appearance Offer"

What is your full name Chris?
What media outlet do you work for?
Is this project privately funded or is it backed by anyone?
Can you provide examples of previous works and projects?

And I will agree with coinableS.
Provide more info of yourself/company.

The only Bitcoin millonaire I know (not personally, but a confirmed millonaire) is rpietila here on the forum, so you could contact him. Probably any of the devs here (gmaxwell etc) are millonaires too, but less outspoken.

Yes, who you mentioned are all btc millionaires, additionally, all big btc casinos' owners are millionaires in the community, like dooglus, stunna, addi, fortunejack's owner, bitcasino's owner, cloudbet's owner, betcoin's owner, they can earn at least thousands of btc per year.

Besides there are btc scammers like firedcat he has over 30k btc and mtgox's owner fatdog has over 100k btc.

I think you'll probably attract the wrong kind of bitcoiners with this. Why does the millions they made really matter or be the subject of a documemtary. Is it just going to be tools who got rich over night showing you round their lavish house and taking your for a spin in their lambo? The people who haven't become fiat millionaires but still hold lots of bitcoin are the ones you want to be talking to. The bitcoin believers who see where the tech can go and still have faith in it.

I wonder how they all started. I remember stunna was a really cool guy paying a great deal on his signature campaing from Primedice. What is the secret for a successful business of that type? im sometimes tempted to create a betting site, but I have no idea how to, and im scared that I would run out of money and wouldn't be able to pay the gamblers.

I was thinking the same thing ! I mean, what bitcoin billionere in their own mind would agree to do such exposure. It kind of throws the whole anonymous theory out of the window. Dont you think.

[manselr]

I wish I could be on your documentary, but it's not the case. Maybe call me in a decade when mainstream Bitcoin is all over the world. It would be cool to have another documentary with people that made it after the very early adopters.

I think there is only one bit coin millionaire. altho many say he dont actually have a million bitcoins. And if you find him you will be one of most cherished journalist in the world. You will provably get a Nobel prize of investigation journalism (however is it called) if you find him.
