I am Satoshi Nakamoto - Video

[Kprawn]

I was thinking when I saw that art with the collection of Avatars of a bunch of Bitcointalk users, why not make a video based on the same principle. We could have a central depository somewhere and

people can dump a short video where they say, I am Satoshi Nakamoto in their own language, and after a specific cutoff date, someone can close the site and edit it into one big video. We can

make it fun, and have different settings for every video clip.

We then place this video on YouTube, and all income from this goes towards some charity or to fund some prize for the best video clip or even to fund some effort to reduce scams. {Something positive}

What do you think? Will this work?

A great idea 
If you did it please, call me to contribute

[thejaytiesto]

Seems like a positive idea. The problem is being sure that the money from the ad revenue really goes to some charity of choice and not the guy administering the account gets all the money.

Also im not sure if people here would like to show their faces on a video. But the idea is cool.

[longbob72]

I don't think you can get a lot of revenue just from videos of random people saying "I am satoshi nakamoto" in their own language. It's a nice idea, but prolly won't work.

Well, take a guess how many people are using Bitcoin and then take only 1 million of them. Let's say only 20% of those people contribute to this video.. or even less. Everyone is obsessed with the

identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, so it will attract a lot of attention. Every time someone asks, we direct them to that video...  ... How much will 1 000 000 views draw in revenue from this video?

Let's just be creative and do something fun and positive for the Bitcoin community and if you want to stay anonymous, wear a mask, while sunbathing on a beach.

No thanks,I'd like to be anonymous on the internet.The reason I'm using bitcoins in the first place.

You can still stay anonymous, just wear some outfit and cover your face or ask someone else to pose for you. You access the site through Tor or VPN or whatever way you access this forum. Most people

are not worried about anonymity, if you look at the amount of people signing up to centralized services, eg. regulated exchanges and faucets. This can work, if people are positive and want to make a

difference. If other non-Bitcoiners see this video, they will see there are actual people behind this technology, and it's normal people like them. 

[krishna1]

is this about a education show or a preaching show because it only seem to me that that may like a monk giving knowledge to his fellow students and if it really was a satoshi then i have many questions

[~Bitcoin~]

In video its better to cover our faces with something or better to wear anonymous mask to remain anonymous. Saying I am Satoshi Nakamoto in own language will show how big and decentralized is the bitcoin community. I like the idea however animating clip is hard but a simple short 4-5 sec clip with just " i am satoshi Nakamoto" can be recorded within few minutes.

[BitcoinSupremo]

I like to stay anonymous in the net and that's why I use Bitcoin, VPN and also TOR when needed. But I like this idea, sounds a lot positive and I am sure if this video is done with a lot of love it will raise awareness of bitcoin and decentralized currency much further ahead so anyone who can do it I say please go ahead and do it. It will help our community in a positive way by adding to the number of users of bitcoin worldwide. At least this should be the ultimate goal of such video.

[isen]

I'm sure you have good intentions and your idea is interesting (but nothing special to be  honest)main problem is that i don't believe that these kind of videos will bring you enough revenue,maybe they are interesting for bitcoin users but what about the rest?
Anyway if you really want to do it i think that you should make the first video so the rest will follow,good luck

[Kprawn]

There are faces behind this technology, and people who are not scared to face it. See this as a example --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEBWtbhq0Ts .... We have enough people, who can

make this interesting .... How surprise would you be, if some celebrities pitch in for this effort? We know people like,  Ashton Kutcher and Mel B and even Mike Tyson are into Bitcoin... Someone could

ask them to pitch in too, just to make it interesting.  .... Well, it's out there.. do with it what you like. 

[Slark]

I would like to see this as coordinated project by some reputable member of bitcointalk familiar with video editing and production.
Then bitcoiner will share voluntarily their videos or send short clips (of course only videos fitting description).
And project coordinator/editor will gather it and make of it the most recognizable video of bitcoin movement.

I am all for it.Sounds great iin place of I am Satoshi...cant we say something else like I love bitcoin etc?

[MyBTT]

Count me in. It sounds like a great community project! For all those people who think this is a bad idea - It's not. If you don't want in, don't say anything.

[calkob]

Yeah i think it might be hard to find consensus on this one......lol

[the_poet]

Nice idea, hope it catches on.

Well, I like the way you said" I love bitcoin " were we can see the side of others of how they love bitcoin,isn't? Regarding the video, it doesn't matter for me who is satoshi nakamoto personaly, it is much important now that many of the community in crypto currency are learning a lot in this kind of opportunity.

[yayayo]

First of all, I don't think that YouTube is a good source of income. Compared to other possibilities, the payments are relatively small in relation to the number of viewers. And you will only receive payments if you achieve a high number of viewers. That is very unlikely for a video of random strangers saying "I am Satoshi Nakamoto" - unless you are a marketing expert who knows how to promote it. To the general public, "Satoshi Nakamoto" is simply not well known.

Another problem might be to gather enough people from the community to be willing to make a video with their face for this purpose. The Bitcoin community tends to be very sensitive regarding privacy.

But despite my objections, you're free to try of course. After all the risk for you is zero.

ya.ya.yo!

[DOGE12321]

It is a creative idea. To play the "devil's advocate", I don't think that such a video would obtain much revenue for charity.

Another reason is the obvious question if whether the owner of the Youtube channel is trustworthy or not to handle the revenue.

Other than these I don't find much problem with continuing with this idea.

[jhenfelipe]

The idea seems good. I know most members here will consider their privacy (including me), so to remain private why not use animated characters? Maybe if you are a boy, your character might be wearing a shirt with your country flag, or any other means to know where are you from. The only problem is, you can't do it without knowledge in Adobe After Effects or any software similar to that. Hmm, this is the least I could think as of now. Anyway, if this idea ever happens, do you have any plans of who will be in charge of the YouTube account and the funds that it can gather? Of course, anyone who will join this would love to know how it will work.

i think Op have its youtube channel that's why he came up on building this project. But i think few bitcoin user will watch it seems they are busy on investing and trading. They will not get any profit by watching it. but i still agree with OP idea to Advocate bitcoin for helping poor people.

Here is some advice regarding video content:
1.) Don't make the length too long, the viewer might be bored.
2.) Use a nice background music, because that is also gives big impact to the video
3.) And make some part of the video that will leave an impact to the viewer.

that's all

I have heard that it is hard to earn from adsense even a good content can go just to a waste of time.

yet perhaps why not start something positive but could reveal identity only a few person can participate though.

oneself can contribute to the low class people, or child in need by just saying I love BTC why not.  

[groll]

Nice one.  It seems that you are not just up to earning but also in helping people.  Thing is it would be hard I guess since we are too many here.  Well, yeah, perhaps you could post it after you already finished your proposal.  A very well planned proposal on how to do your suggestion.  The only problem I am thinking right now is, will the fund will really goes to the charity?  Sorry, but just make sure that we are not using charity or good heart effect to raise money for our own interest.

I disagree with you, saying "I am Satoshi Nakamoto" will trigger curiosity, if they do not know who it is. The first thing they will do < Because they do not want to look ignorant, when people talk about this > would be to Google the subject and that might trigger their curiosity to look a little bit deeper.

I think the OP already mentioned something about the anonymity in one of the subsequent posts? I will be the one wearing the Guy Fawkes mask and the bikini. ^ho ho ho^

Dude read between the lines... I never said, I will do this on my YouTube channel.. I do not even have one.  The idea is out there for anyone to use, I just thought that it would be a good project

to increase awareness of Bitcoin and also to generate some income that can be used to do something good. The advice is noted, and I hope the person who would chose this project would listen to

all the advice given in this thread. Music would be nice, but it would have to be something the community created and offered as a gift to the project.. YouTube frown on people using Copyrighted

material in some regions. This must be FREE to everyone, with no restrictions... and you have to hear the language to experience the diversity. 

[QuestionAuthority]

No restrictions at all? Really?

Can I be completely naked, wearing a superman cape and devil horns while holding a sign that reads, "I had sex with Mark Karpeles cat"?

[Gohs]

After Craig Wright's false claim of being Satoshi Nakamoto, most people will be weary of believing just anyone that shows up on YouTube.

and if you are now over the comedy of the videos above.

a few "known faces" of the bitcoin ecosystem made this compilation a couple years ago
its not them shouting "i am satoshi" but saying something more than most fiat lovers want to hear

You are missing the whole point ^LoL^ I think the idea of this whole video is not to prove to people that a single person is Satoshi Nakamoto, but that it is a whole community. Each and every person using this technology are part of Satoshi Nakamoto. Correct me, if I am wrong OP?

I am looking forward to seeing the naked horny devil with the Superman cape, I will be Batman with the big, uhmm Cricket bat. ^Smile^

The revenue from Youtube will be very low.I think it`s about 1$ per 1000 views.

It`s a good idea anyway.

For me,the question "Who is Satoshi Nakamoto" isn`t interesting anymore.

[LoyceV]

edit it into one big video. We canmake it fun, and have different settings for every video clip.

We then place this video on YouTube, and all income

Who would watch this? When I think of videos tens of a video with millions of views, Touching 1000 Girls' Boobs In Public - Full Version pops up in my mind. It's an 18 minutes video and I just kept watching it straight till the end. It's amazingly fun to watch.
I can't imagine watching a bunch of (mainly) guys saying "I am Satoshi" for more than 15 seconds.

[bitsoldiers]

its a nice idea...if also determined to be....good idea. though will love to be part...if only.

[ObscureBean]

I highly doubt you'll get a lot of views, the vast majority of people don't care who Satoshi is, most probably haven't even heard of him. Money aside though, it could be a fun experiment just having Bitcoiners from around the world speak a few words in their own language. It would be interesting to see how many countries/languages we get

i think that you are right if you make it about bitcoin.
but if you make a creative and cool video which just happens to feature bitcoin in it, it could go viral.

[yenxz]

I want to always be anonymous on the internet and that's why I use bitcoin , TOR and VPN when in need but I think I like the idea,
sounded positive and I 'm sure if the video was done with a lot of love that would raise awareness bitcoin currency . This will help our society in a positive way to increase the number of bitcoin users around the world ,

[requester]

well it's an awesome idea. at first by reading the topic header I was surprised but disappointed too because Satoshi would not come to address the world. but after reading the main description i am inspired. actually very few people thinks about donating in charity.

[croutonhexagon]

Well it's a best idea to spend our earning in charity. May 1 our 2 people think of donating. I too want to help you if you ever need my help in website and graphics editing and video editing works. I good also manage youtube channel if you want.

[Mastsetad]

The concept is not bad, but the problem can be when it comes on anonymity of people because no ones likes to reveal their identities that is the reason a lot of people are using bitcoin, but as mentioned a lot of times someone can do it hiding his/her face or something, and i personally believe that would be really interesting to watch a video like that.
