I've had mixed reception to adding bitcoin to my video descriptions in 2011. a good deal of my viewers thought i was trying to push a ponzi scheme or questioned my intelligence for "falling" for one. While i did receive a few donations, and became good friends with one bitcoiner, on the whole I think it negatively affected my image as a youtuber.
While i do love the technological brilliance of the software (despite barely understanding how it works), I must consider how i am perceived by my viewers. On youtube, image is everything, and maintaining a certain image means i have to tone down how hard i promote bitcoin.
This is why larger youtubers are a bit reluctant to promote something like bitcoin that is perceived to be controversial or even questionably legal. Not because they actually think bitcoin is bad, but because they must maintain a certain youtube image.
As bitcoin becomes more widespread and less controversial, the uptake by youtubers will increase as well. Here's their bitcoin wallet address used since June 29, 2014: 1NurdRAge7PNR4ULrbrpcYvc9RC4LDp9pS

There are so many amateurs videos available for free, I doubt I'll ever pay to watch one. This could only work for real full length movies, but it's a nice idea. I'm sure it could work if they manage to get good content.

I guess it's good news but I find it comical that it's 2016 and a youtuber starts accepting Bitcoin and all of a sudden it's news worthy. It makes you wonder how unknown and unadopted Bitcoin really is, for most people it still is an obscure internet currency that hackers or people buying/selling illegal drugs use. It's sad but it's true and you can only blame Bitcoin.

Looks like a great concept but many youtube viewers are really young, most of them don't even know what bitcoin is. Let alone know how it will work out, I doubt this type of thing will take off.
Let's talk in a year We need the "young" to pick up on bitcoin and when they do it will grow. The concept is great and it is a start to something you might see more of.

I find it comical that you replied upon reading only the OP as if there's a sig campaign in play. In case you missed it, the brand's been accepting bitcoins since 2011, about a month prior to myself learning about Bitcoin.

https://video.popchest.com/#featuredVideos NurdRage, a YouTube personality with over 600,000 subscribers, is testing bitcoin micropayments for his videos as an alternative to advertising. Show him some love! Thank you. is not a YouTube initiative but an user one. I think there are a lot of other people that accept payment with bitcoin also on YT. It could be positive because more people decide to adopt, and share with other people so! Yes, its a User initiative and once more people take such initiatives then it will be good. Someone has to start and it good to see this.

Loading is slow. Even though I do not really like his video, I paid 0.25 USD worth of Bitcoin to unlock the video. I hope that he will continue to support Bitcoin.

So sad! This profile does not appear as the #1 result (on anonymous) Google searches anymore.
Time to be active on the crypto forums again? Proud to be one of the few Legendary members of the Sparkie Red Dot!
Gonna put this on my resume if I ever join a cryptocurrency/blockchain industry!

Are you still hosting the videos on youtube or are you running it off your own servers? {I did not spot this in the FAQ section} I tried it, but I find it is a bit slow... so I was just wondering where you hosting this service. I am all for innovation based on micro payments, but a big proponent of FREE educational stuff on Bitcoin. If he turns all his subscribers to Bitcoin users, it will be a win for all of us. Good luck.

0.25$ for a video? I would rather pay for a month subscription rather than to pay for each video. However, it's nice to see a progress on Bitcoin.

Show him some love! Thank you. I love what Valerian253 is doing and has been instrumental in helping us get [NSWF] NakedBitcoins.com and its clips. So far we've had a few dozen buys so far and no major problems. We are currently talking to a major porn star who has agreed to put up some clips. More to come. edit: we are listed now porn4coin: http://porn4coin.com/nakedbitcoinscom-290.html

It is a great idea of him, if all the big groups/company/channels start to use bitcoin as their payment then bitcoin will flourish all over the net. I appreciate that act from Nurdrage, it gave a good support to the bitcoin. I hope all the online big businessmen use bitcoin.
