How about some "Star" endorsements?

[Its About Sharing]

Since BTC seems as much a revolution as it is a "monetary" movement, I wonder what would happen if a "notable" person endorsed BTC. (Actually, I think,  the outcome is clear as people listen.)

Do any of you remember when John Lennon spoke out against war? That affected the populace as a whole. Who is going to speak out? When will the tipping point be reached?

You all think getting VC money and such is big? you have seen NOTHING yet. The fun is just starting. 

I really wonder, how many people have ANY IDEA how BIG this is? How many of you see this? This is game changing, extremely game changing. Wars have been waged for less...

Don't the Winklevoss twins count? They can tell people how Bitcoin helped them with their rowing.

VCs are jackals who want to make money for the 1%. Behind all their talk of innovation are the bucks of the current system. Taking VC money is selling out Bitcoin to the highest bidder.

I believe Ashton Kutcher had some good things to say about Bitcoin already as well.

Maybe we should start a Twitter campaign to inform some of them what is happening?

That was at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference.

Do we have any real stars left?  John Lennon was not only super popular, he was also quite intelligent.  The only stars I know of are the ones who like money and/or bitches, but that might explain why I avoid them.

What would happen if the lead singer of a very very popular band started talking about Bitcoin?

What would happen if another key figure in the minds of millions (as John Lennon could have in the past) started talking about Bitoin?

ENDGAME...

It is very sad that the general populace rely on those good at singing or at kicking round objects to think for them.

I think we could get the stars of the music world on board if they figured out that they can be paid directly...their entire industry could be changed for the better using Bitcoin.

The artists could actually get paid for their art, instead of getting shafted repeatedly at every level of production and distribution.

Essentially every artist could be an indie artist....with the benefit of possibly getting rich from their work.

Right now the music industry is in a very screwed up top heavy organization, with contracts designed to contain new artists so that they can never hope to make real money. This has produced "one hit wonder" after "one hit wonder" and the producers are the ones getting rich as a result. They do not want bands to be successful beyond the one hit wonder, as it means in the next contract they will have more leverage to get paid.

Their fans should be the ones deciding the success of our favorite bands....not the fat cat producers.

Bitcoin is the solution to this problem.

It is also sad that we are lead by the least among us. But you deal with it.

we need someone like Richard Branson on board, he is the type of person who could help with the right kind of promotion imho

Agreed. I've wondered why more Artists don't have "paypal" donate buttons if you like their music but don't want to buy it. Now with Bitcoin it would be fee free, even better.

Artists and BTC go great together... (sounds like a commercial  )

One of the thing that needs to happen is to identify who is sympathetic and then hassel them on social networks. Get "Stars" to post their Wallet addresses on social Networks because you want to pay them some bitcoin because you illegally downloaded their content.. Imagine if Tom Cruise posted his wallet address! I'd Put Something in it! Wouldn't you?

I really wish someone would recognize it too...

My question is:
Where are all the New Rich?
Every technological revolution creates "New Rich" (farming, math, building, mining/drilling, transporting, industrialization...). Why is there not a SINGLE Bitcoin millionaire in the news... Or on these forums even...

There is a guy who has been on US news telling the world he is a Bitcoin millionaire, I doubt the news want to promote Bitcoin in a positive light though and the guy in questions tends to come across as a bit loony lol.
