Bitcoin's price is far less than previous high in the end of 2013. Now before the halving, the uptrend is picking up.

Thanks for the plug

I'm Andrei, the guy who runs the "One Minute Economics" channel, had this BitcoinTalk account for quite a while but I've never been too active here.

I will try to publish one video each week, one about bitcoin is coming too btw.

The channel is still in its infancy, so I'm open to suggestions.

Right now, ads are disabled altogether, so I'm making $0. My main goal is growing the community, please like the videos, comment and subscribe to support the project if you can.

It's pretty good little channel, in the same vein as the One Minute Physics channel. Good luck growing Andrei.

Thanks guys

I'll try to publish a bitcoin video next Friday, for now I've decided to publish one about the Brexit referendum through which people will decide if the United Kingdom should leave the European Union or stay:

The referendum will take place this month (on the 23rd), so it's a time-sensitive topic.

Did my best to make the video balanced, I'm not telling people what to think and instead, tried to present the top 3 arguments of each side so that they can make their own decision.

Are any if you guys active on Reddit?

Would really appreciate it if you could share this video there, I think videos which are submitted by established Reddit users do better.

Hey great channel, tried to make something like this myself one time, its not easy.  When you have the bitcoin video post it up here and on reddit.  Good luck and can see you with a few hundred k subs in 6 months.

Welcome aboard

The animation is done by a talented designer (I write the scripts and provide artistic suggestions, she does the magic after that), she uses GoAnimate if I'm not mistaken.

The bitcoin video will most likely be published next week.

For the time being, here's a reddit link for my most recent video, the Brexit one:

Thanks for the kind words and for the healthy dose of optimism

I'd be happy with 10k-ish subs and a nice community, our little corner of the Internet.

Alright guys, the video about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies has been published a few seconds ago:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xSomPDhOAu4

Did my best to male this exactly the type of video you can show to non-tech-savvy people without them giving you "the look"

Are any of you active on the bitcoin subreddit over at Reddit?

If so, I'd appreciate it if you could post the video. This channel is still in its infancy, so every bit of exposure helps!

[thewebdeveloper]

Wow!

My bitcoin video hit page 1 on all of the important bitcoin subreddits: r/bitcoin, r/btc, r/cryptocurrencies and r/bitcoinmining

If you come across it, please help the video stay on page 1 longer by upvoting.

Heh, woke up to great news today

The latest One Minute Economics video started doing well on Reddit, on the huge /r/videos subreddit (about 11 million members). It's still there, on page 2.

Before that happened, I was sitting at 370-371 subscribers and was optimistic that I might get close to 400 thanks to Reddit.

Well, I went to bed and woke up to a whopping 465 subs

I have done well on /r/videos before with my bitcoin video but it seems this video (which explained what pyramid schemes and Ponzi schemes are) generated a LOT more subscribers for the same number of views.

The only two explanations I can think of:

1) they found the video more interesting than the bitcoin one

2) I'm now posting two times per week, so the channel looks more active

Definitely the best 24 hours the channel has had so far... by far.

Are you guys interested in my progress?

If so, post in this thread and let me know if I should continue publishing updates.

[thewebdeveloper]

Well, I've managed to break my previous Reddit "record" (100 YouTube subscribers in ~24 hours) by attracting ~150 subs over a 24-hour period with my video about derivatives.

The main difference between this situation and the other one is this: for my previous record, I've done very well on just ONE huge subreddit (/r/videos, with 11 million members, genuinely huge) whereas the derivatives video did well on several smaller subreddits.

It definitely adds up, especially since you can get good placement on the smaller subreddits. I end up on position #1 of page #1 on smaller subreddits relatively frequently, whereas my best performance on /r/videos has been the last position (#25) of page one. Now, of course, I could receive insane amounts of traffic by hitting position #1 of page #1 on /r/videos (easily hundreds of subs, possibly 500+) but that's easier said than done and therefore, if I were to aim for consistency, targeting smaller subreddits kind of makes more sense.

The channel now has close to 800 subs, so "the big 1k" is close.

That's it for now, will post in this thread again when I have something new/meaningful to report.

If it's for the sake of bitcoin community we are here to support your activities. You have made an informational and nice video. Hope this may increase the knowledge and understanding of newbies as well as to non bitcoin community. Your project may promote bitcoin to other people and will help increase the number of users in the bitcoin industry.

Interesting concept of doing videos in a minute, but I doubt it will be much valuable. You can't really explain much of any concepts relating to any event under a minute. While they might be fun to watch, I doubt they would be educational.

Despite that some of the videos are really good. Some one-minute videos on explaining bitcoins and some of the concepts would definitely be fun to watch.

[thewebdeveloper]

Thanks for the kind words guys

Currently at around 1,200 subscribers, really happy that the channel's growing and I'm no longer just talking to myself haha.

For most topics, a minute or so is enough. In extreme scenarios, I'd even be reasonably comfortable with something like 1:55 but as a general rule, I want to limit myself to a video length lower than or equal to 1:30.

I personally feel 2 minutes usually is enough time to explain everything. 1 minute is sort of squeezing it, and 2 minutes is sort of enough to retain attention for most people. Anyways watched a couple of them , and they seem to be really well in the time.

Quick update: currently at 2,720 subs and I need your help with something.

I've just published a one minute video about the first Clinton-Trump debate from an economic perspective:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JS4SarjwWA

Would really appreciate it if you could help me spread the word via facebook, twitter, etc.

Did my best to be as objective as positive.

As an economist, I have to say I've hated the debate. They've spent about as much time discussing economics as they've spent talking about tabloid-type issues such as Obama's birth certificate. Interest rates are at record-low levels, central banks are pumping unprecedented amounts of liquidity into the system, the global economy is dealing with unbelievably complex problems… yet politicians still prefer tabloid-ish topics. Go figure.

While I'm not a huge fan of the simplistic style of animation, I would say that the information that is being put across is pretty good overall and quite neatly done for a 1-minute video. I'll definitely consider watching more of these in the future, especially if they start to dive into more obscure financial events and so.

This is a good video I would say, relatively subjective and I didn't see any glaring issue with bias. I liked it overall, especially for 1 minute.

I also agree with you, my favourite part of the debate was the economic portion, once they started to delve into who-gives-a-shit topics I kind of lost interest. During the time they had it really showed what each candidate's priorities were.
