Hello Fellow Bitcoiners,
Problem
The Bitcoin movement has failed to capitalize on its most valuable asset: The people who use Bitcoin. We as a network share a deep passion for Bitcoin, but have failed to create an organized effort to promote its adoption. The Bitcoin movement is missing leadership. Every Bitcoin member genuinely wants to be involved, but does not know how.
Theory: If we develop a leadership model, we can better leverage the already existing Bitcoin network of users to exponentially increase the growth of the movement.
Solution
Terms
Satoshi = 1 Member
Bitpod = A group of 4-8 Satoshis.
Fork = When a Bitpod of 8 Satoshis splits into two Bitpod's of 4 Satoshis.
Bitpod's are the core unit of the decentralized movement. They will serve two general purposes.
1. Participating in the forking process.
2. Participating in macro-movement activities.
1. Forking Process
A Bitpod starts with four group members (4 satoshis). The Bitpod's goal is to grow from four satoshis to eight satoshis and fork off into two new Bitpods. The Bitpod members will seek to grow through personal references and/or meeting new members through participation in macro-movement activities. The movement will begin with one genesis Bitpod. This will create a forking tree. All forking history will be shown and accounted for so each member can see the tangible impact they have made on the movement.
2. Participating in macro-movement activities
We will ask that each Bitpod pledge to participate in one macro-activity per week. This is not mandatory for membership, however, highly encouraged. To prove participation, Bitpod's will need to get a scan from another Bitpod participating in the activity. Activities will involve a diverse array of outreach efforts.
Macro-movement activities will follow the same approach that many crowdfunds use. All macro-movement activities will require a minimum number of commitments from Bitpod's or else it will be cancelled. This is done to hold all Bitpod's accountable to the overall group mission. It also ensures, that no one's efforts will be wasted. Time commitments are contingent upon other Bitpod's also committing their time, therefore, no one feels as though they are the only one contributing.
Potential Macro-movement activities
1. Yard signs
2. Bumper stickers
3. Door-to-door knocking/flyers
4. Holding signs on street corners
5. Participating in Bitcoin rallies
6. Generating crowds media events
7. Tabling at college campuses
8. Supporting Libertarian/Bitcoin minded politicians.
9. Providing local Bitcoin town halls for any potentially interested people
10. Tweet/FB/social media storms
11. Any other ways
We are looking for anyone who is willing to contribute to getting this project ready to launch in any form. The following skills would be greatly beneficial:
1. **Develop a website/backend server to meet the needs of the decentralized movement. -> Very much needed
2. A video animator to quickly and easily illustrate what our idea is.
3. Anyone who has access to YouTubers/Media platforms of any kind
4. Anyone who is genuinely interested in getting this idea off the ground.
Please message me if you are interested in getting involved. Just to be clear, this is not a business venture of any kind.
