We are working on a Bitcoin TV ad..... to be broadcast on ALL the major television networks within the USA.
This television commercial will be advertising the basic benefits, for both consumers and merchants, of using bitcoins.
If you're interested in helping out in any aspect of this project, please send me an email or call me.

Do you have any screenplay to reveal or is that under wraps? Regardless, thank you. I will donate a Bit or two when I have the chance. Go on...
This.

I hope your ad production skills are greater than your web video skills.

Wasn't there some other thread about a television ad?
Anyway, more information would be nice and what donations actually can help out with would be nice. If this has any connection with the other thread (that i think i have seen?) a link to that one in the original post might also be helpful.
[edit] And also if there is any other way but donations to help the project.

No no... It's not a show... No screenplay.
Just a little TV commercial. I expect it to be the normal 30 to 60 second commercial.
Because it will be very brief, it will only cover the most basic concepts --- the most important features and benefits.
In order to get placement on ALL of the networks..... at off hours.... ( unsold inventory slots ).... at super-discounted rates.... It will need to actually sell a product.
Most likely that product will be an ebook about Bitcoin... sold and shipped on a CD-ROM... essentially sold at a price that only covers the cost of duplication and shipping.
( Selling a product is the only way to get such super discounted rates. )
We're working with real professionals in mainstream television commercial production.... In fact, this whole idea was theirs.
I think that it could be a great opportunity to get the word out to the masses...
I'll keep you informed of how if goes.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."
- Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from 'Tragedy And Hope'

A bitcoin infomercial idea that was thought up by tv producers that are mainstream...........color me not interested. Having a bitcoin infomercial that airs late at night will more than likely make it look like a joke. Let's think about who watches tv at 3am........

Selling an ebook on late night tv? Seems like it will come off looking a whole lot like a scam to me. :\
Better have it link to a really professional looking website with cross links to articles by major news organizations.

Seems a little bit suspicious if you ask me. But that's just me, and I'm a total crack-pot. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Selling an ebook on late night tv? Seems like it will come off looking a whole lot like a scam to me. :\
I was thinking the exact same thing.

I think that without a serious improvement to the client and usability, attracting "normals" to Bitcoin in droves is a recipe for a flop.
|
Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

This. Not only do I think it's too early for this kind of promotion, honestly, it makes bitcoin look like a scam. I don't see why we need to be in such a hurry. A few months, even years, for infrastructure build-up would go a long way for the staying power of bitcoin. This screams pump and dump. Sorry, Bruce. I'm sure you're still going to go for it anyway, so please, please make this look professional. No promises of big returns. No "you can be an early investor" stuff. Advertise the fundamentals; the real lasting benefits of this sort of monetary system. Please don't make this about quick, easy money (i.e. quick increases in purchasing power). Ultimately, that's not what bitcoin is about. Please focus on this stuff: Distributed No intermediary International Low Friction ...

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.
